Oh yeah, I would love a sequel to this awesome movie, it’s so underrated and deserves more love

[@shaenoyt]

Posted this already but a series has been green lit, Shawn Levy also acknowledged in interviews the love this movie received and the demand for a sequel, he wants a meaningful script.

[@damienperedia226]

The director Shawn Levy said back in April they've been working on the script for the past 3 years but him and Hugh want the movie's story to be the best it can be

Honestly it’s great.

[@candycorn4912]

Better than a lot of modern cgi if we're being real

Every time I see this movie I can't help but wonder how they never made a sequel. Not every movie needs a sequel of course, but this was so great. Very underrated.

[@Jlext99]

Supposedly there was going to be a Disney+ Show with the actor who played the kid and he was going to be an adult in it he even posted it on his socials but that was last year and nothing has since come from that news or if it's even true.

"This little robot has dug down deep and shown something DAMN near heart" Man that gives me chills 😊

[@Thomas-kp8mo]

[@silentjackm.d4490]

One of my favorite things about this movie is there's actually a surprising amount of environmental storytelling, one of my favorite things that's briefly mentioned is that Atom was designed probably to be a training bot or a sparring bot. He was literally built for the purpose of getting hit and keep fighting which made him such a perfect underdog, the person with the highest endurance is always going to win

[@passionsquietrage]

He didn't win though.

[@hearthatbird]

​@@passionsquietrageHe won in our hearts♥️

[@BullyMaguireTheAbsolute]

So he's basically Rocky

[@qwertyuiop22ful]

I remember I didn’t expect much of this movie when it first came out. At the end, I was BAWLING. It was surprisingly excellent!

[@DanGamingFan2406]

When you think about it, each robot Charlie has represents his situation, Ambush being rusty, in need of a polish, shows him being a bit of an old fighter who is getting beaten down by chance. Noisy Boy is him trying to reclaim the glory of the old days, but unfamiliar to the new ways of the ring And Atom shows him passing off the reins to a new start, starting from the bottom and making their way to the top as the underdog.

[@awildbagel6723]

Fun fact, this was the first pg-13 movie I ever watched! I was 10 years old, and my grandparents took me and my cousin to see it in theaters. My parents were so pissed when they found out!

[@valerie8402]

My husband and I love this movie...we've seen it probably more than a dozen times. Such an underrated movie...the ending gets me every time 😢

[@christomlinson3074]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but this is based off a short story, so that could also be why it feels a little more fleshed out. It is been years since I read it, so I don't remember how much dialog was carried over. To me, part of the reason why this movie works is that it feels like a real world progression. We already have BattleBots and before that Robot Wars. This just feels like how things could naturally progress.

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

This movie sold me on BattleBots. Not that I disliked it before, I just never found time to watch it. After seeing this movie, I had to have more robot fighting.

[@RobertCostantino-pg1we]

She mentions her dad just as much as you mention how much you loved High Jackmans performance

[@markandrew5968]

Besides the obvious father-son story, I actually appreciate the real commentary in the movie about how Charlie has come to believe that robot boxing means that there's no longer any skill or strategy involved, just the engineering of the robot. It's kinda like the tendency for people to ignore the importance and effort of the engineers and mechanics in things like F1, or NHRA, and all that, just sort of reversed. People think of the driver and forget the mind-blowing amount of effort, skill, and strategy involved with the mechanical side of it. Charlie thought it was all mechanical, and didn't appreciate skill and strategy for the driver. Also, I loved that at lot of the small fights felt a lot like modern fairground rodeos and demolition derbys, and that type of stuff. All the environments for the fighting felt really tied to how it would be in real life, even down to the super over-the-top techno styling of the actual league. You know that if we got something like that they would go full ham on it like WWE.

[@BaddMedicine]

This film is a BANGER!!!

[@shaunbang]

Shawn Levy is a really great director, he knows how to balance everything to well so the movie doesn’t feel like it’s missing anything whether it’s comedy, action and character development which only gets me even more excited for Deadpool 3

[@matthewchi5292]

It's weird how many reactions this movie is suddenly getting now. Last year, there was like only 2, but this year, it has increased to about 25 now. Not that im complaining. This movie is a hidden gem and my guilty pleasure, and it deserves so much attention. I still can't believe it never got a sequel, considering there is a video game that kind of serves as a sequel with Atom challenging new and super cool designed robots.

[@kristien2010]

Saw this in theaters on my birthday with my mom. Such a great time. We left the movie saying, "Wasnt expecting to cry in a movie about fighting robots." It was great

[@SeppXO]

I saw this movie with my dad and cousin when it came out, my cousin died at 21 due to a skateboard accident shortly after and it’s one of the few memories I have with him and my dad. Thanks for sharing this.

[@StultifiedGraphics]

I'm a massive Stallone fan, This has Over The top and Rocky all over it and i loved it, Glad you guys liked it cuz it deserved better, it was such a great movie, Hit all the feels.

[@lancedement40]

Well this sure was a real treat to see pop up this morning. One of mine and my Dad's favorite comfort movies, and one I'll always remember watching with him fondly. Thank you as always Greg and Andrew!

[@teamkaboozles4910]

What I love about Shawn Levy as a director is that yes there is no new ground with his movies, there are tropes and predictable beats a mile away, but he sucks me in with infectious joy, imagination, and heart. It’s this sweet tenderness that makes his films special. No where near the same technical level of Spielberg but certain in the vein of classic Spielberg joy and wonder

[@LordAkkusa]

49:47 is the best part of this reaction. Best reaction to the best scene.

[@raptorneon4919]

[@exknight39]

The vfx in this movie is amazing. Check Corridor Crew's breakdown of it. You wouldn't believe how they made it

[@justsomerandomweeb2678]

I like your comment about Zeus moving like an actual "robot", and I never noticed it before but when Tak Mashido went to manual mode you could actually see Zeus movements becoming more fluid and "human-like"

[@RandomAndysChannel]

Hugh Jackman's mid air jump punch has to my favorite reaction movie moments from this channel.

the way we all feel like screaming "beat his ass " when atom is fighting zues . such a wonderful piece

[@ryananderson3089]

Love this movie! It was filmed all around Michigan, when we still had the filming incentives. I used to drive around and find all the filming locations where they shot this. The fight with Noisy Boy was filmed inside an old car plant. It is a real place. The zoo is an old zoo that was closed down.

[@ThePandaaa]

Hugh Jackman: “I can’t dance, you’re on your own there!” Also Hugh: “THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW!”

[@c-mc]

the actress who plays Deborah is Hope Davis, she played Tony's mom in Civil War

[@ariqsyafwan4987]

I just like to points out, since it seems not a single reactor brings it up, but the guy behind Zeus, Tak Mashido is also the same guy that made Noisy Boy (Charlie said "...This is Noisy Boy, the original Tak Mashido's robot..." to Finn in the Crash Palace)

[@crashingcoyote]

Fun fact during this movie Hugh was gearing up to film another wolverine appearance so he was in the process of getting in shape.

[@nicktroisi6347]

Reel Steel is so awesome and absolutely deserves a sequel The final fight will always be incredible, the jump move and final uppercut from Atom sends chills down my spine. Charlie, Max and Atom may have not won the match they absolutely 100% won the crowd and sometimes that’s all you need

[@Leslee_97]

I watched this movie as a kid in theaters with my dad pretty late at night and we were in awe, very underrated movie if you ask me

[@GameboyYT0]

I love this movie and still do. I used to own the DVD for this movie (probably still have it somewhere in my basement) and I always loved watching thbehind-the-sceneses. THIS MOVIE is peak tbh. The fact that Charlie started out a cocky person to a good father, was amazing. If it wasn't for Max charlie would of still been in debt. And the only reason Charlie lost with Ambush and Noisy Boy is because he wasn't confident in his own ability as a boxer. He would always take the easy way out. Using the combinations that was already there when they bought noisy boy. Instead of using his own boxing ability because he would think he's not good enough. Not until we see him training with Atom. Using his moveset and using his abilities as a boxer to win. And the fact in the last fight against Zeus. Zeus is made to have extreme power to make fights go faster. Which when you compare to Atom, he has extremely good defense because he's a sparring bot. He was made to take a beating. And use that with the skills of an experienced boxer who only got knockouts when they won and you have yourself a really good damn robot. That's why Zeus didn't last that long in the 5th round because he wasn't made for it. But goddamn this movie is amazing and I really love it. They made the characters really good and have their own personalities. And the fact that is now getting more recognition then it did when it came out is making me extremely happy. Peak movie

[@DanielFernandez-gv6iy]

I love that the guy on the right was annoyed when dude said “homeboy” lol

[@cavanreed5700]

I always loved the entire Zeus fight scenes. The hype behind the guys playing the announcers made these scenes incredible. “ATOM HAS LANDED A PUNCH” and “ZEUS IS DOWN” made those moments way more hype, without them it wouldn’t have been that great.

[@S.E.Walker]

Such a great movie finally getting the love. You guys have been on a roll with the movie reactions!

This is my dads and I’s favorite movie of all time. Every time I see this movie, I can’t help but get hyped and emotional at certain moments like I’m watching it for the first time. This film has and will always have a special place in my heart. I think late last year or early this year, there were rumors that a sequel was in early stages of production but idk if that’s true. I hope there is a sequel at some point.

[@thenerdywave2007]

So happy that Greg and Andrew are reacting to this movie! This movie is so much fun and underrated! 👍

[@davideddy8557]

It's a genuine delight to watch movies with folks who know what they're about in the movie industry, there's a depth of knowledge there that can't be found elsewhere. I'd always felt that there was something off about the film but it wasn't until when y'all pointed out the plethora of flat characters that it made sense that's what it was.

[@Koda89]

I love this film. I did a personal double feature of it and Moneyball back in 2011 when they were in theaters. Had an absolute blast. Really the only thing that I had trouble with the film is it is set in 2020. So even when it was brand new I was thinking, "There's no way in hell we get all this in just 9 years", which turns the film from a near future sci-fi to an alternate history sci-fi film for me.

[@shanekerr9705]

well yeah it takes place in a universe where mma never became a thing and boxing faded out. definitely alternate history

[@TheVas76]

It's just a nice, little, feel-good movie. We need those now and then.

[@traviscummings9178]

Even if this movie never gets a sequel (and it really should have one), it's still one of my low-key favorites

[@cartoony301]

Then we should do a petition for it lol 😂😂

[@Ay3shizzle]

Great reaction guys! This movie is a very surprisingly fun movie and that’s why I love it so much. The performances, fight sequences and vfx are so on point and incredible. Shawn Levy nailed directing this movie which makes me more excited for what he does with Deadpool 3. We definitely need a sequel to this movie.

[@jacobkeyser8628]

One of my favorite memories is my older brother taking me to see this in theaters when I was 12.

[@aliceblack9712]

[@Maelstrom2999]

Fun Fact: The actor that plays Kingpin at the Zoo is also the screenwriter.

[@williamquinlan6153]

This film is an underrated treasure. I liked the obvious Rocky callbacks. Most of your observations are spot on. As much fun as the robot fights and elements were they were merely awesome vehicles for the father and son/father redemption arcs. Evangeline's character was perfect! This is the first movie i ever saw her in. Her relationship with Charlie, their sense of family through her father and the instant chemistry with Max makes her presence only second to the primary Charlie, Max dynamic. She brings a strong,nurturing, " i wanna marry that girl" vibe to every role she plays. I think it's been too long for a sequel so i'll settle for how i imagine the story plays out; Charlie and Lily's character get married and share custody of Max with Deborah.

[@Nick-is-Rad]

Bro, I LOVED this movie. I am so glad you guys got around to it. Post-Watch Edit: Seriously never noticed how much she mentioned her dad until now. 🤣

Absolutely loved this movie. Yes, it’s cliched and you can see everything coming from a mile away, but the action the performances, the chemistry and the pure love that’s into every scene and interaction makes a very fun, endearing and entertaining watch. They talked about a sequel for a very long time, but unfortunately it never came…and now, after so many years and with the kid now a 24 year old, the magic just isn’t the same.

[@Angus4277]

There is a very similar movie to this one starring Sylvester Stallone called "Over the Top". The big difference is they replace robot boxing with arm wrestling but basically the same storyline.

[@ReelRejects]

Ah damn Andrew actually pointed that out but due to pacing of the edit had to cut that part. Now I regret making that decision

[@jasonkeene9834]

Glad someone pointed that out. I was thinking about Over the Top the whole time. Beat for beat, the same story. But yeah, Real Steel did it better.

Real steel wasn’t my cup of tea when I first watched it because I liked action more than the scenes, but it’s a really well done movie. The love interest is super underdeveloped but other than that, it’s such a vibrant world. Weirdly colorful characters that fit. And a standard plot that gives you all that you want. It’s literally a boxing movie with robots. I wish there was a sequel but this movie is awesome.

Yeah, thank you. I always thought of this movie as a guilty pleasure, because it seems that it works for me better than it should, as if I like it more than it deserves. But I think you removed the guilt, because it isn't just me. It's just a good movie, even if it is a bit Hallmarky, they did a good job. You've made me feel better about myself. Thank you.

I feel like Greg is always mean to Andrew. That kid is NOT Haley Joel Osment. But that kid definitely DID play young Thor in the first Thor movie. And the comment Greg made after Andrew pointed out that Hugh’s character saw the wedding ring. “Yes, he noticed it because of the close-up on the wedding ring.” Sounded antagonistic to me.

[@Alex-nh1hb]

I watched this movie so many times when I was little, this was so nostalgic

[@whimsofmim]

I eat dinner with my parents like twice a month and normally will sit and watch a little something with them afterwards, normally it's a crap series they're watching that I can't stand, so I normally leave after one episode. One night, they randomly picked this to watch and it was the rare time we all enjoyed what we were watching and I stayed to watch the entire thing. Sure, it's a kid's movie, but it's perfect for "family entertainment" and I thought it was fun for what it was. I was very impressed by theeffects for a movie from 2011.

[@jgarcia4721]

This movie is a family favorite. I have such good memories of watching this with our son. What a great experience.

[@eduardpeeterlemming]

In my opinion Real steel and Rise of the guardians are most underrated movies
