Teenager Max McGrath (Ben Winchell) discovers that his body can generate the most powerful energy in the universe. Steel (Josh Brener) is a funny, slightly rebellious, techno-organic extraterrestrial who wants to utilize Max's skills. When the two meet, they combine to become Max Steel, a superhero with unmatched strength on Earth. They soon learn to rely on each other when Max Steel must square off against an unstoppable enemy from another galaxy.

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.

.5/4

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

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

C-

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.

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.

Max Steel demonstrates a lack of absolute interest towards the public that should be directed. [Full review in Spanish]

I'm not sure what everyone's problem is. I LIKED this movie. Quite a bit, in fact. It's been several months since I watched it, but I remember it had some plot twists that were quite entertaining. There were some "big reveals" that caught you off guard (unless you already knew the story somehow). And Max's reaction to and handling of suddenly getting superpowers was both believable and entertaining. If you have Amazon Prime, you can watch it for free right now. It's well worth the time, especially for young teens.

This is a fun movie but it's nothing special. I don't mean that in a mean way, not at all because I quite enjoyed it really. The acting was good, so was the animation and the camera work. It's just wasn't great. I do want to say that I really enjoyed Ben Winchell as Max, he was very good. You know, it's a cool story and it's very enjoyable movie. You won't miss much if you don't watch it, but still, if you do, it's good.
