Critics Consensus

Steel is a badly-acted movie that indulges not only in superhero cliches, but also the sappy TV-movie-of-the-week ones.

Its protagonist is good-natured, wholesome, devoid of moral flaws and acutely civic-conscious. But good intentions aren't good enough, and this Shaq attack is too broad and episodic to attract anything other than the most undemanding crowd.

Shaq, meanwhile should bag the movies and work diligently on those freebies. Knees bent, elbow steady, full follow-through... wish.

The Los Angeles Lakers' center, at 7-foot-1, is appealing and breathes much needed large life into a tolerable stinker of a film.

Reliant on a heavy formula of repetition and camp that's more obnoxious than cute.

Has the distinction of being one of those movies that's so bad it actually has some solid entertainment value.

Me and my wife were facing divorce because she wanted to cheat on me with my neighbour Quan, however upon viewing this cinematic masterpiece we both reach a magical orgasmic high. This rekindled our lost flame much to the Chagrin of Quan. However she still cheater on me with the mailman Siddique Singh. Great movie, beautiful writing and custom design with realistic details. Mr O'Neal's performance brought a tear to my eye. Please come to my house to have relations with my wife to save my marriage. From Dr Tom Brandis (PHD)

Bad cast, bad scenes, bad script, bad everything. Boring and a steel movie stand alone doesn't work. Shaq was not fit for this role.

This movie is literally the greatest movie ever. A masterpiece if you must. From the cuts and the edits to the Shaq Steel suit and hammer. I believe this is the greatest superhero movie ever. It utilizes the black escence Shaq. It uses the the art of human morals and good citizenship to help save his city. Definitely will go down in the book.
