francisofori Movie was trash. Seemed very rushed. Plot not explained well. Special effects were good, however everything else just ruins the film. The romance in this film seemed very stretched. Too much of a reach. We all know films love to get that romance between two characters who barely know each other but this one was just far too cringe worthy. Very disappointed with this film, was not able to finish watching it.

shirl-steward Despite the bad reviews, I actually found this film quite entertaining and for a kids film, rather cute. The special effects were great considering it is a lower budget film. In fact, I found it had more originality than most superhero plots. As far as the bad reviews, it is extremely unfair to compare this film to superheros films that have major stars and billion dollar budgets. With no major stars, it just doesn't draw as many movie theater patrons that first week. I give it a 9 only because I agree with some reviews that there could to be more of Max in his superhero costume. The kids in the audience really like the superhero persona and their outfits.

Michael Ledo Contains PLOT SPOILERS for those not familiar with the series...like me.Max (Ben Winchell) moves into his eighth or ninth house...back to his home town where his father (Mike Doyle) had died at NTEK in a tornado or explosion or both, but not an ordinary tornado. Max is interested in how his dad died, something no one talks about. As a teen Max undergoes changes and uses a device to release energy or else he will explode, but it is not puberty. It is tachyon energy and he needs the assistance of a silicon based creature called "Steel" go figure. Eventually Max changes into a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger with the help of Steel to save the planet from guys like Steel.This production was to strictly introduce the character without much action. It worked as well as Ryan Reynolds as the Green Latrine. Max freaking out and running off got old. They even said so in the film.The Power Ranger battle was a snooze. Steel reminded me too much of the film "Short Circuit." They needed a better voice...something like Woody Allen talking about...whatever it is Woody talks about. Now what I don't understand is why the Ultralinks who want to destroy the planet go out of their way to get Max Steel first. Seems he could be an easy work around. Is there something I am missing, or does the plot have that gaping hole...like no one knows who the super heroes are because they where half a mask or take off their glasses? Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Max hits a wall and starts to say the F-word, but stops.

Niall O'Hara I often watch low budget, generic action adventure films and find them predictable but mildly amusing. Unfortunately Max steel did nothing for me. The plot seemed to come out of no where and there was never a sense of impending doom or the world's end. The character development was lacking, with no real depth to Max, steel, his love interest or the main villain.The action was slow, uninteresting and uncommon. Max was only in his suit one time and all we saw was a bit of mediocre Karate.If you are looking for a action adventure film, I think that any of the Marvel series will entertain you more than this. If comic book heroes isn't your thing, then something like Hancock or the hunger games are definitely more entertaining than this. I feel bad for being so harsh as i know a lot of work goes into every film, but unfortunately Max Steel missed the mark in every aspect, it reminds me of spy kids to be honest.If you do decide to watch, just sit back, enjoy and don't think to much about it. As analyzing this film will give you no joy.
