So many points throughout the film I questioned why... the lead guy... WHY!!! The choices made in the film, WHY!!! So many points just didn't work, I loved Max Steel as a kid, this film is just a bad joke. But to those who enjoyed it, fair does to you, everyone has to enjoy something, all I say to any film or show, check out for yourself.
Okay I loved the animated max steel when I was a kid (the 2013 one) and this movie came out when I was 10 and I was hyped to see live action max steel
But this movie was just boring there were only a few scenes with max steel in his suit and I didn't like it even when I was 10 I loved the show because of all its cool action and cool villains I loved it but this was just boring i wanted cool action also I'm surprised by how many people like it that's fine by me but I just found it boring I had to wait like 1 hour in until max steel was in his suit I kept thinking "when is something cool gonna happen?"so I don't recommend it for epic cool action lovers.
The acting is some of the worse I've ever seen. Storyline really wasn't delivered right. Reaction to certain situations in movie wasn't handled properly outright ignorant. I found it hard to stay and watch the whole movie. Really bad bad movie overall.
I remember a cartoon that pretty much was the same deal, except that cartoon more had a base on action sports which was what I was expecting with this film but as it turns out there was another more recent cartoon, this movie was based on.
Max is a kid who moved around a lot and he discovers why when he moves to the place were his mom and dad met and it triggers the energy spectrum that gives him super powers.
The formula was straight forward and it should have worked but all it did was doze me off, literally snoozing. Thought the movie did have some interesting surprises, but I spent most of the flick trying to keep my eyes open to pay too much attention.
Will say I enjoyed Andy García's role in this film. Far different than anything I've seen him in before and he most likely did it cause it was fun to do and he looked like he had fun. So that was enjoyable.
Max Steel could have been so much better, but it's not. So it's not worth watching. Should have based it on the 1st cartoon I guess.

This movie was pretty good, people who are saying this is a remake of Shaquille Oneal's movie Steele is completely wrong this movie has nothing in common or anything to do with the movie called Steele. First off the movie called Steele with Shaquille Oneal completely sucked and bombed and Max Steele is based on a cartoon called Max Steele and is 10x better than the crap movie called Steele. Max Steele has been a cartoon since 2001 and I have been waiting for a movie about the cartoon series. Of course it's going to not be a great movie but it is a good movie for families to watch. Maybe a console game would be good but not based on the cartoon.

Steel: [regarding Sofia] I don't know, Max. It seems like that girl creature must have put out some kind of mind control virus on you. We should probably kill her.
Max McGrath: What? No.
