Ugh...
I just finished watching this abysmal excuse for a movie on TV with my kid. All I can say is that I enjoy my kid's company, so the 2-plus hours spent on "Steel" was not a complete waste of time, but no thanks to this turkey. <

>Folks, we all know Shaq's acting is on a par with his free-throw shooting, so expectations are pretty low going into a movie like this. In fact, low expectations account for my giving two stars instead of one --- this actually could have been worse. <

>However, while Shaq's acting is what we might expect, the movie as a whole displays a sloppiness in overall production that makes what could have been a mediocre effort a downright bad one. It looks more like a made-for-TV effort than a theatrical release --- bad editing, mediocre sound, amateurish camera angles --- the production values are bargain basement. Actually, I have seen After School Specials that were more professionally executed than this. <

>Thank God I did not have to waste money on this. Nobody should be monetarily rewarded for this badly-produced piece of junk.

It's a giant! It's a robot! No it's STEEL!
John Henry Irons is a man you don't want as an enemy, because for these simple facts He's like seven feet tall, Used to be in the army and is an army of one, and is the super hero STEEL. Here is another super hero movie with an "S" involved. STEEL has no super powers but what he dose have is a metal suit that protects him from harm and has a big giant jackhammer as his weapon! The movie starts off with a tank being blown up, death, drama, and new advanced weapons! That's only in the first minute! You have a whole movie after that and can watch thrill packed adventure, suspense, gangs, the bad part of town, and STEEL. The music is good too. Five bucks says all boy's 5-12 will like this film because I'm not a boy anymore and I liked it. Kid's it is a must see and parents it makes a good stalking stuffer, so enjoy!
-Other movies I recommend with this movie are Superman, and Supergirl.

So bad, it's good...
I give this movie 2 stars simply because I feel a one star would be cruel. But take my word for it, this is not a good movie at all. Actually, it's so bad it's funny. The film stars Shaq. There are so many things wrong with that last sentence, mostly the part about Shaq being in a movie. Shaq is not a good actor. Heck, he isn't even decent. The movie's script doesn't help him much. He plays John Henry Irons, a retired soldier who learns of a madman's plot to sell high-powered weapons to other evil people. The madman is Judd Nelson. There are also so many things wrong with that sentence. Nelson is completely miscast here, and his performance is so weak, it wouldn't surprise me if the filmmakers tried to find someone who they knew would make Shaq look good. It doesn't matter. They both come out looking pretty ridiculous. The movie's only saving grace (except its unintentional humor) is Richard Roundtree. Roundtree steals the show and every scene he's in by just smiling and dealing with the fact that he's the only first-rate actor in a movie of second-rates. Sure, he's also unintentionally funny, but he's the only one in the cast who I think wanted to be. If you like cheesy movies with dumb plots and terrible acting, "Steel" is the place to go. Actually, I'd probably recommend it for that reason. But don't see it expecting a solid plot, good acting, cool action, or even witty one-liners. So see "Steel," just don't expect anything from it.
