Watch Steel For Free

Don't Believe the Hype

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Shaq does it again and again, hes a real champ for sure. I really liked the movie I watched it with some kids and as soon the movie was over the kids started to walk and do the thing like Shaq did. The kid was wearing a pan and stuff like that. LOL. I think that Shaq been doing some big and good progress when its comes to acting. He did a good job on Grown Ups 2 as Officer Fluzoo, funny name by the way. After all this is back in the late 90's and I most say that Kenneth Johnson had some good fantasy for sure. Annabeth Gish was hot in this movie and did a hell of a job too. Her latest acting been really horrible like her roll in Texas Killing Fields, terrible. Her roll in SoA was kind of (is that really her) I had to look it up just to be sure.

Uncle Joe: Well dip me in sh__t and roll me in breadcrumbs.Without question, 'Steel' is in the running for worst film ever made. However, it is a fun movie to watch to make fun of. You'll be laughing hysterically, but not as the filmmakers intended. Shaquille O'Neal's acting skills are kind of like Adolf Hitler's morals. They're seriously lacking. This movie does have some classic one liners like "Y'all stay cool now." a line Shaq delivers to a couple of old people he returns a stolen purse to, and my personal favorite, "Well, dip me in sh__t and roll me in breadcrumbs!". I highly recommend 'Steel' if you need a good laugh. I think I laughed harder during this than I did during 'Borat'. Grade: F

Let's get the worst facets of STEEL out of the way first. Yes, Shaquille O'Neal is a dreadful actor. Yes, he looks like the world's biggest sardine can in his Steel armor. Yes, the dialog is bargain basement. Yes, Judd Nelson makes for the worst comic book villain this side of Mark Hamill as The Trickster in THE FLASH television series. And yes, the film embarrasses itself even further by clumsily trying to deliver a we-must-stop-using-weapons-to-settle-our-differences message. Happy?STEEL is not a masterpiece in any sense of the word, but that doesn't mean it should be completely written off. It's one of those pictures that requires you to set aside your pre-conceived notions about good film-making and just enjoy the ride. Do that, and STEEL is a surprisingly amusing little adventure. O'Neal is fun, if not unspectacular, as our jumbo-sized hero, a do-gooder vigilante cleanin' up the streets with a big ol' hammer and souped-up motorbike. He's aided by wheelchair-bound hottie Annabeth Gish and an aged Richard Roundtree as his off-the-wall Uncle Joe.Our hero's climactic showdown with the one-dimensionally evil Nelson is incredibly cheesy, as are many scenes, but the film has its heart so firmly in the right place you'll be more than a little lenient. As usual, what Shaq lacks in talent he makes up for in charm and a deep likability that seeps right through the screen.STEEL is an uncomplicated film that seems custom-made for little boys, who will absolutely adore it. If you're in the right mood, you'll like it, too.

I do get angry when a movie is unjustly slated and I am angry now. What some people should appreciate is that some movies are not made in order to give us an insight into the meaning of life. They are just there to be enjoyed. I enjoyed Steel. It is a good movie about making a difference, a moral movie without any pretensions of grandeur. If someone said to me that the makers of this movie had the same kind of budget as those who made X-men for instance, then I would certainly of expected more. But I am sure they did not and made the best of what they had. Okay Shaq is no Olivier but so what!! At least he was prepared to give it a go and I think he did okay. All the actors did. To conclude I liked the movie Steel and if it was available to purchase in the UK and would buy it. Please do not watch a movie having prejudged it, be practical and know that there are limitations and not all film producers have big budgets. This movie was well told, and the actors did the job.
