Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

doappel I'm baffled by some reviewers claiming that the ratings would be unfair, because they'd ignore the movie's limited budget.Let's see what Max Steel has to offer: Bad acting (Andy Garcia, wtf happened to you?). Bad script ("I have a brilliant plan to beat the villain! It's exactly the same someone else had previously! The villain will never see it coming!"). Dumb characters, who can't think straight forward for even a second. Annoying sidekick(s) with incredibly bad humor. At least I understand why the main character avoids listening to them. All fighting scenes are a f***ing joke. Max Steele is pure trash and that's all.

Ayal Oren I just saw Max Steel. It's not a masterpiece. It's very predictable, very CGI driven, and not always thought out all the way through. And still, it's a very charming coming of age story with the sci-fi comics element serving as an enhancement of teen age issues. So the coming of age problems of finding who you really are, who are your parents and who are your friends, all get extra dimensions.The moment you see this movie, and the comics it's based on under this light, you'll enjoy it much more. The action scenes arriving mostly toward the end of the movie are more of a plot device accelerating the pace of the story while still making sense - inside the world constructed in the movie. This way we get to the very predictable conclusion in a reasonable time and without wasting long minutes on some more identity crisis and teen age angst.Technically it's all very professional, the actors do their share, most of them don't shine too brightly but they all get the job done. If you don't expect something else, you'll get some cute fun.

haydenbanks I felt that this movie had some real potential to be something great, however it did not deliver on its promise. Poor acting made it had to really invest in the characters, and some writing was a little off; most notably the comedy of Steel. This movie still held some good plot twists, and is well worth watching for fans of the genre. I particularly enjoyed the suit, and the effects throughout were pretty good.

Wizard-8 Although "Max Steel" is officially based on a toy line put out by Mattel (a fact I'm sure discouraged a lot of people from seeing the movie), it actually has a strong vibe of the 1997 family movie "Star Kid". That movie was kind of fun, but "Max Steel" is anything but. What went wrong? Well, most of the problems can be found in the screenplay written by Christopher L. Yost. For starters, there almost seems to be an intent to keep the audience mystified and confused from start to finish. A little mystery in a movie like this is okay, but right from the beginning the movie keeps the audience in the dark about a LOT of plot points. While the core of the mystery is (sort of) eventually explained, at the end there are still a lot of unanswered questions. Why Max doesn't just ASK some key characters some good questions much earlier doesn't make sense, and as a result the character comes across as quite unbelievable. For that matter, none of the other characters are believable as well. I could go on for some time about this, but it would be redundant. Though I will add that the fact that the character of Steel is not only unbelievable, but comes across as extremely annoying, coming across as a slightly more coherent stoner.Those simply looking for stuff like eye candy and action will probably be let down. I admit the entire package (including the special effects) don't look too bad for a movie with a somewhat low budget, but there are no really exceptional visuals. Also, there is not only little action, but director Stewart Hendler pretty much saps all the potential excitement these action scenes could have had.If Open Road Films releases more bombs like this, they won't be open for too much longer.
