The Man with the Iron Fists

The Man with the Iron Fists Review



Is iron a suitable replacement for the human hand? The blood in our hand contains iron, so doesn’t that make us all have iron fists? These are all questions we have to ask ourselves and a medical professional when we are in doubt.



Pre Conceived Impressions and Expectations

The first time I ever heard about this movie, I thought Eli Roth, Quentin Tarantino, and some guy with a ridiculous name 'RZA' all making a Kung Fu movie, I was intrigued. All of Tarantino’s movies are hit or miss with me. I love “Reservoir Dogs”, but absolutely hate “Kill Bill”. Then I saw the "Quentin Tarantino Presents" banner on the poster and was worried. There has been a lot of junk that’s been released. I’m looking at you “Hell Ride." But I thought to myself, what do I have to lose if I don’t hype this up?!



The Film

Since his arrival in China's Jungle Village, the town's blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools for destruction. When the clans' brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon. As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against soulless villains, one man must harness this power to become savior of his adopted people. It stars; RZA, Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu.



My Thoughts

Let’s throw the story out the door; This movie is about the fighting and craziness. It’s over the top but with style and is a great time if you judge the movie for what it is. If any of you are a fan of RZA’s previous work; “Wung-Tang Clan”. You know that the guy has a mad passion for the genre. In every scene there is attention to detail that is superb. But RZA does fail on actually making the film from a technical level. It’s not too severe that it takes you out of the experience. Everyone does a competent job for the part they are given, but don’t expect an award winning performance. The fight scenes are some of the best I’ve ever seen! There are moments that will blow you out of your seat and into the lap of some random stranger. Expect an awkward moment if it happens!



My Recommendation

Go see this movie, but don’t expect an amazing story, remember it’s about the craziness.
For these reasons I rank The Man with the Iron Fists an 8/10
