There's little doubt that
Real Steel's biggest problem is its excessively deliberate pace and unreasonably overlong running time, as filmmaker Shawn Levy, working from John Gatins» screenplay, has infused the movie with an incongruously epic sensibility that all - too - often threatens to negate its positive attributes - with the fairly pointless (and surprisingly unpleasant) robot - vs - bull brawl that opens the picture effectively setting a tone of regrettable sloppiness (ie Charlie goes through two robots
before settling on his final
fighter).
While I appreciate that the pre-fight lobby is actually a modified version of the training mode you can use to test your
fighter out with
before stepping into the
real ring — which I think is a great idea and I hope that this makes it into the final version of the game — Street
Fighter V is an extremely complex
fighter that takes more than a pre-match sparring session with an A.I. character to properly learn.
