Movie Review
Grade: D-
I used to be a comic book fan, especially of DC Comics. But one comic I never was that thrilled about was Steel; the artwork was bad and most of the stories seemed the same. For some reason, he became rather popular, despite just being yet another spin-off of the Superman franchise.

DC Movie, by Micha

I saw the movie some time ago, and as a DC Comic fan you will like this movie. There where some parts which could be better but i always want see movies about superheros. If you like JLA you will like "Steel - the movie"
