_Steel_ is **so** far removed from the source material that I honestly feel like they could have made exactly the same movie, called it something else, and nobody would ever assume that it has anything to do with the DC Comics character. Oh also it sucks. _Final rating:★ - Of no value. Avoid a ... t all costs._
This movie sits firmly in the "It's so bad that it's good" category. If you watch this review, you will see exactly why this is the case... https://odysee.com/@SpaceIce:8/shaq's-movie-'steel'-proved-sledgehammer:8 ...
