Max Steel (2016)

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.

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.

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.

Normally i don't write reviews but i 'm really pi***d off about the time and money. Can't understand Hollywood, if Stewart Hendler can be a director, i guarantee that everybody on this planet can be. I quess they didn't watch the movie after they completed. I won't write about the writer, he doesn't worth for. He used all clichés.A bad version of transformers & Totally disaster of art.
