MAX STEEL (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Max Steel begins well with a good storyline but thins to a trickle by the end of its story to leave its audience stranded on that waterless landscape that asks the question, do I feel entertained? While Actor Ben Winchell has high potential for future films, this movie serves best as a background running film while meeting friends around the barbeque grill.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The script is predictable and does not throw the hooks necessary to pull its audience into the story.
