“Max Steel” (*** out of four) was a likeable adaptation of the comic book and cartoon series about a high-school teenager (Ben Winchell) who is turned into the turbo-charged superhero Max Steel and is befriended by an alien robot who guides him as he tries to evolve into his new powers and also solve the childhood mystery of the death of his father. Winchell’s strong and sincere performance helps make this into an imperfect but surprisingly entertaining teenager/comic book drama. Highly similar in story and structure to “Spider Man” but also highly better than most critics have said.
