Amazon.com: Shaquille O'Neal plays a relatively recent DC Comics hero named Steel, an Army weapons engineer who dons a steel suit and does battle with various bad buys, including a weapons dealer (Judd Nelson) whose market is criminals. Sooner or later, somebody had to give Shaq the opportunity to finally prove he doesn't belong in movies, and this silly 1997 action movie--in which O'Neal could not possibly look more wooden--does the trick. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Very Under Rated Movie
This was a solid movie. Too much garbage comes out today that is "critically acclaimed." With $16 million they did a nice job with the sets, filming of action sequences, and special effects to make this movie far more than watchable. A little chessey but very entertaining. There are solid moral lessons that are taught here that the youth of today need to see, understand, and embrace. Shaq's acting, contrary to popular opinion, is pretty good. Very easy to root for STEEL. A man's man. Kids, especially black kids, need to see strong black men take control of thier lives and make a positive ... Read More
Rating: - Someone....kill me now
What is this.... I'd rather watch a penny collect rust than watch this again. OMGAWD. Shaq should be sent to Guantanamo Bay for this. I think this movie is an indication of the forthcoming end of time............
Rating: - The songs are probably the best thing about this film.
I've not seen the film, but I dig the hip hop and soul soundtrack. I suggest for others to seperate the songs from the film and write accurate reviews about this product.
Rating: - Unspeakably awful.
First of all, I apologise for reviewing a... gnnn, can't bring myself to even write it but.. must... a VHS version of this film. Ughh. Video - what WERE we thinking? But I have to - because Steel has never been released on DVD (I collect comic book movies and TV shows on DVD, so I had to buy a copy of this on DVD). And you know what? I would bet my entire Spider-Man collection that it'll never see the light on DVD either. Whoever owns the rights to this is probably keeping it quiet through sheer embarrassment.
Steel, then. Due to my collecting, I have seen some of the worst movies ... Read More
Rating: - Ugh...
I just finished watching this abysmal excuse for a movie on TV with my kid. All I can say is that I enjoy my kid's company, so the 2-plus hours spent on "Steel" was not a complete waste of time, but no thanks to this turkey.
Folks, we all know Shaq's acting is on a par with his free-throw shooting, so expectations are pretty low going into a movie like this. In fact, low expectations account for my giving two stars instead of one --- this actually could have been worse.
However, while Shaq's acting is what we might expect, the movie as a whole displays a sloppiness in ... Read More
