Review For The Man With the Iron Fists
Lunatic, slipshod, absurdly violent, horribly acted, and borderline incomprehensible. Ty Burr-Boston Globe There's little happening here except slavish imitation and embarrassing hackwork. Peter Howell-Toronto Star If Iron Fists is sometimes badly made, it is refreshingly badly made. Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice (RZA) is a terrible actor, an incompetent narrator, a mediocre writer and (spatter) paint-by-numbers director. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service "The Man With the Iron Fists" is the type of movie that feels like you are always coming in half-way through, even if you watch it from the beginning. As an exercise in genre, this is the highest compliment. Jordan Hoffman-Film.com At 96 minutes it is exactly 93 1/2 minutes too long. Kyle Smith-New York Post A scrappily authentic and entertainingly bloody tribute to old-school chopsocky films and taken purely on those terms, there's not a lot to complain about. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman The movie is undeniably colorful and action-packed, and gorier than a slaughterhouse floor. But something's missing. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com The violence is extreme and preposterous, the fights ingeniously choreographed, the producer Tarantino (his actual credit is "presents"). Philip French-Observer [UK] The fists, feet and digital blood go flying in this enjoyable, frenetic, largely forgettable chop-socky extravaganza about, well, about a man with iron fists who gets into lots of fights. Jim Schembri-3AW One is occasionally infuriated by the archness of the exercise. But there is a charming innocence to Fists' faith in the values of 1970s cross-cultural exploitation. Donald Clarke-Irish Times A vacuous but fun exercise in chop-sock style over substance. David Michael Brown-Empire Magazine Australasia Given the talent on board, this registers as a disappointment, but even with the clunky dialogue and subpar fight scenes, it's watchable fun. Stephen Lambrechts-FILMINK (Australia) Predictably, this kind of gleeful fanboy excess yields diminishing returns. RZA hasn't much sense of storytelling rhythm, and lacks Tarantino's gift for turning adolescent obsessions into something uniquely personal. Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia) It's so over the top that I just thought it was a hoot. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) Thank goodness for Russell Crowe who gives a sardonic, who-gives-a-damn performance as one of the good guys. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) The Man with the Iron Fists is as limp as last week's wet noodles. Russell Edwards-sbs.com.au Rapper-turned-actor-turned-filmmaker RZA is clearly influenced by cohorts Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth as he indulges in this crazed pastiche of 1970s kung fu action romps. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Self-defeatingly "Tarantino-esque". Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London A one-note pastiche featuring impressive wire-fu, bloody mayhem and CGI mutilation. Alan Jones-Radio Times The Man With The Iron Fists definitely isn't the most polished first effort. But if you approach it as a sloppy, OTT martial arts outing, you'll find the fun. James White-SFX Magazine As long as you accept some magnificently bad dialogue, this is silly, fun and ludicrous beyond belief. Alex Zane-Sun Online Psychopaths will love it. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] It's leaden, boorish and dull. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] The story is both dull and confusing with a profusion of characters scrapping over some fabled gold. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express an affectionate recreation of Shaw Brothers kung fu, but for all its inventive weaponry & varied fighting methods, its heady mêlée of sex & gore, its grand gestures and nostalgic stylings, it is also entirely lacking in any real substance of its own. Anton Bitel-Little White Lies
