Per Fandango:

A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, “Real Steel” stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

Yeah, I don't know what to make of this one, either....maybe a rental for some popcorn fun, but I can't see myself seeing it in theater...
 
I'm sorry but I think this looks AWESOME. I used to play Rock m Sock m robots for hours as a kid. The idea of controlling a fighting robot. How awesome would that be?
