_Steel_ is **so** far removed from the source material that I honestly feel like they could have made exactly the same movie, called it something else, and nobody would ever assume that it has anything to do with the DC Comics character. Oh also it sucks. _Final rating:★ - Of no value. Avoid at all costs._
