Fast cutting is used to disguise the lack of spatial continuity. My complaint about the battling Transformers of the movies series is that they resemble incomprehensible piles of auto parts thrown at each other. It's no match for the competition, and when the desperate Charlie replaces it with another battered veteran, it can't even outfight a real bull.Įven during these early fight scenes, however, it's clear than the movements of the robots are superbly choreographed. Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie Kenton, a former boxer who is now hanging onto the fringes of the fight game as the owner-operator of a ramshackle robot he tours with. The movie's story, however, is not from the future but from the past, cobbling together Rocky's rags-to-riches trajectory and countless movies in which estranged fathers and sons find themselves forced together and end up forging a deep bond.
