It really is laughably, terribly bad.
In fact, it actually has us excited to see it purely for the pleasure of writing the review on it. Max Steel, for those that don't know, was a toy-line that became an animated TV series for a few years and then had a number of direct-to-video animated films. You know, the ones you'd see bunched together in packs of five for something like three quid with every purchase of a bottle of Dolmio.
Anyway, it's getting a film! Max Steel, not the bottle of Dolmio. Why, you're asking? Transformers and Michael Bay. They made an absolute metric sh*t-ton of money and confirmed the idea that you people will swallow anything if it's packaged correctly and features relatively well-known actors and twenty-year old white men with chiseled abs.
Congratulations, cinema audiences. This is what you have wrought upon the world.
Christ, what is Andy Garcia doing? Why is he doing stuff like this? Sure, he was in the Ghostbusters reboot and nobody's going to walk away from that unscathed, but COME ON. He's better than this. So's Maria Bello, too. A History For Violence? Lights Out? Honestly.
No word on an Irish release date, but we'd speculate it's going to be before the end of the year or, failing that, some time in 2017.
