The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

Beautiful, moving film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

My friends and I used to hang out in the living room watching old kung fu movies. It was always fun to turn the movie volume down and play our own soundtrack. We would laugh at the hyper-drama scenes. and accept the old school kung fu. I liked the movie. I liked the soundtrack. I like the fact that we were not the only ones with this idea on our minds. Tarantino supported this for a reason, he liked the Idea obviously. Sometimes it is good to watch a movie like this and just have a laugh or two during the Dramatic scenes. Cast was picked out well. Soundtrack was selected well. (Wu Tang was a nice touch, reference to the old school Legends Of The Wu Tang movies)

This movie was terrible, beyond god-awful. I had so much expectations for this movie. but I was extremely disappointed. I was really hoping for Good Acting, Good Fight scenes, and a good tribute to Kung Fu Films. But Instead, we have senseless bloodshed, Senseless sex scenes, senseless dialog, lacking hand to hand combat, and just straight up sucks. I was hoping to see a couple of hand to hand combat, especially from Cung Le who is a good MMA and Kickboxer with great martial art skills.but It's all about swords, daggers, and other deadly weapons. I like Kung Fu Films and I like Wu Tang Clan. but this is Sh*t. I would rather watch the Drunken Master, Shaolin and Wu Tang, The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Snake in the Eagle Shadow, and Fist Of Fury over this pile of dog-turd.

i have been big fan of Rza with his music score hip hop style had my taste in it. it was so good this movie involved Quentin Tarantino was a presenter of this flick i have wish that if he directed this movie not Rza but Rza try but everyone not end of liking it that much. i don't even or like Eli Roth he is not that good director or screenplay well this movie was screenplay buy Eli Roth director that i Wish he could never been involved in movie i don't trust Eli Roth and his terrible as movies.Rza was Director and cast himself in movie i thought it was brilliant film he made with good characters making new age 70's 80's Bruce lee mixed with Quentin Tarantino film with Warriors,Ninjas,Assassins i like that idea for movie what people saying it's bad movie what do they expect this movie to be ? i have enjoyed this flick with Martial Arts a lot of kicking as bloody as kicking intense ninja movie, Plot of film made a lot of sense to me it's noting like dark knight or inception or any another Martial arts movie this movie is had bigger budget but it looks like low budget flick i don't know why people have BIG problem with him as main character he was never been that bad with his acting he had no problem with characters i know Rza doesn't do Martial arts like Michael jai white and Wesley snipes style but rza is different he wanted to make this movie when he was in childhood but he's dreams comes true but he made movie i expect, Kicking ass Martial arts,bloody,Bruce Lee 80's new age style,Tarantino, that's what i expect but i was fine with RZA but i expect a bit different like Real Martial arts like Wesley Snipes or Michael jai white in film they are real or Van Damme or statham any Martial arts actors indeed to be in this movie but i was fine with RZA.Another cast Lucy Lu, Russell Crowe was has excellent performance in film cool name jack knife i love knife idea, Rick Yune that's problem he was always villain in fast and furious,die another day,Olympus has Fallen but him playing different character was just fine idea, Dave Bautista as Bass Body was just looking bad ass weird looking idea of character he is like man of steel but in different way one of tough fist few of MMA cage fighters witch had good idea to put people just don't know it that well that they not actors this movie suits them well in my opinion. movie had well shot, well Gore silly staff in it, Perfect CGI the fights were very good but i don't get it these modern day movies they jump very high that's what i find very bad it looks dumb when these fighters or ninjas jumping high i know people Had trouble and pain to watch this movie for me i had no problem i knew who is RZA was he's hip hop music and some of his movies were great, showdown between Dave and Rza was awesome great idea, rick yune kicked a lot of asses cutting ninjas up Russell crowe had funny and awesome character who made Me laugh with his jokes i had no problem Lucy lu did some of kung flu i have watched this movie in theater like 3 years ago it amazed me a lot 10.10 non stop action,gore fast placed that's how i like it but there's thing i really hate Eli Roth was worst director of all time i wish rza never got him in involved in this flick. everyone check out this movie if you like gore,Rza music,Kung flu,fast placed with mixed of Kill bill,Enter the dragon style, Revenge of ninja

Seeing and hearing about this film gave me the impression it could be awesome and different then other fighting films and with stars as Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu I was hoping for something great, but it doesn't really reach that high on the scale.It does have a lot of good things, there are some great fighting scenes off course those are some of the most important scenes of the film. It have some great, strange and odd characters, but they really fit into the universe. It is filled with action and adventure and the story is an okay one, but it takes itself a bit too serious.I was entertained and had a good time watching it, but I feel it could have been something more and could have been better in many ways.
