Not sure who this movie is catering to. Scrips is boring and doesn't make sense. Lots of holes and characters that are unrealistic. In short don't waste your time. I regret wasting mine.

I just saw Max Steel. It&#39;s not a masterpiece. It&#39;s very predictable, very CGI driven, and not always thought out all the way through. And still, it&#39;s a very charming coming of age story with the sci-fi comics element serving as an enhancement of teen age issues. So the coming of age problems of finding who you really are, who are your parents and who are your friends, all get extra dimensions.<br/><br/>The moment you see this movie, and the comics it&#39;s based on under this light, you&#39;ll enjoy it much more. The action scenes arriving mostly toward the end of the movie are more of a plot device accelerating the pace of the story while still making sense - inside the world constructed in the movie. This way we get to the very predictable conclusion in a reasonable time and without wasting long minutes on some more identity crisis and teen age angst.<br/><br/>Technically it&#39;s all very professional, the actors do their share, most of them don&#39;t shine too brightly but they all get the job done. If you don&#39;t expect something else, you&#39;ll get some cute fun.

Despite the bad reviews, I actually found this film quite entertaining and for a kids film, rather cute. The special effects were great considering it is a lower budget film. In fact, I found it had more originality than most superhero plots. As far as the bad reviews, it is extremely unfair to compare this film to superheros films that have major stars and billion dollar budgets. With no major stars, it just doesn&#39;t draw as many movie theater patrons that first week. I give it a 9 only because I agree with some reviews that there could to be more of Max in his superhero costume. The kids in the audience really like the superhero persona and their outfits.
