Critics Consensus

Bereft of characterization or even satisfying rock 'em sock 'em, Max Steel feels like futzing with an action figure without any childhood imagination.

I'm really surprised this movie hasn't got the recognition it deserves, I remember watching it when I was a kid and found it extremely enjoyable, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who's looking for a great and enjoyable film to watch at night.

Great movie, excelent performance, true to the source material and awsome effects . Only drawback: not enough background music. There are scenes that would benefit from some songs.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Honestly I don't get why people are insisting the movie was bad, I understand that it was a little slow paced at times but there was so much info the movie had to give to the audience about the origin of the aliens and stuff that if they had just dumped it all on us at once it just wouldn't have worked. The movie was great and i was blown away by the CGI. The movie had some issues but it definitely didn't deserve all the hate it got.

A movie based on a toy should be a whole lot more fun than this.

Rated: .5/4

TheWrap

A spectacle without the spectacle, an autumnal, amorphous blockbuster that just sits there, suspended in mid-air, as you soak in its ceaseless banality.

AV Club

Given that the character began life as a hunk of plastic with a cool name, it's hardly surprising that writers have reshaped his biography on the fly, with all the consistency of kids playing with their toys in the backyard.

Rated: C-

Max Steel is what happens when the sole rationale for your film is 'People used to like this toy.'

Isn't just ugly, but it's boring, and it's a shame considering the concept at least has potential.
