LatestMax Steel is a science fiction–comedy, CGI–animated series. It is a re-imagining of its predecessor of the same name, as well as being based on the Mattel action-figure also of the same name. Max Steel premiered on March 25, 2013 on Disney XD.
Acting
Sam Vincent steals every scene as Steel's sarcastic AI.
Visual Effects
Surprisingly slick CGI transformation sequences for 2013.
Writing
Self-aware humor that winks at its own toy origins.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Len Wiseman directed the pilot despite being known for dark R-rated action like Underworld and Die Hard 4.
This 2013 reboot completely erased the 2000 series' more serious tone and Max's secret agent father, alienating original fans.
