Rock 'em sock 'em robots: The movie

[Bladerock]

Well,i am obsessed with robots beating the crap out of each other. Transformers, Gundam, Megas XLR. If it has robots (and by extension, mecha), i'm willing to give it a shot (unless it has giant blue aliens that get mindjacked by humans or something. Then i don't.).

And i am intrigued by this movie.

From my research, it looks like it will just be a cliched "underdog trained by washed out pro" story with a side of "Father bonds with son". But i'm really hoping it will be an interesting take on it.

So, i'm optimistically crossing my fingers for a good "Rocky with Robots instead of Stallone" sort of thing.

I swear, if it isn't drawing concept frpm rock-em sock-em, I will eat my hat. It does curiously look good though. Maybe.

Luckily, they can't mess up established characters with this. As the toys had no personality or backstories to them.

Unlike that other robot movie...

so Hollywood officially ran out of ideas eh?

[Bladerock]

lol, they officially ran out of ideas in the 90's when they released titanic. Which was a remake of a remake of a remake of a movie based on an actual story.

Considering that the concept of rocky with robots hasn't been done all that often, i am willing to say this may actually be one of the more original ideas coming out this year.

Besides, if i can stand the millionth incarnation of gundam, simply to watch the mechas fight. I'm probably going to stand this one just fine...
