Leave your thoughts about The Man with the Iron Fists.
| HitFixDrew McWeeny'The Man With The Iron Fists' may not be the most accomplished or polished film of the year, but it may be the most heartfelt... |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeThe blood spurts, the knives shoot out, and the fists fly - but The Man with the Iron Fists never takes off. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe Man With The Iron Fists has the same advantages of many musical debuts. It's the product of a man who has been storing up ideas, setpieces, characters, and gags for a lifetime, in preparation for the magic moment when he'd be able to unleash his full vision on the big screen. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaRZA's obvious and infectious affection for the genre carries the film past its equally obvious rough spots. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttWhile fun and made to fully maximize the stylized action, the movie is the work of a serious student of the genre rather than a master with a gift for reinvention. |
| Dread CentralHeather WixsonFor those who grew up on a steady diet of kung fu movies, The Man with the Iron Fists is everything you'd want in a modern fight flick and more. |
| We Got This CoveredBen KenberRZA's directorial debut, The Man With The Iron Fists, shows a lot of love for the kung fu classics and martial arts movies which inspired it, but it doesn't quite have that feel of exhilaration that they have. |
| Boxoffice MagazineJames RocchiIt's a real film, and a fun one, made with gonzo good humor and plenty of action from the opening brutal battle over which the sound of The Wu-Tang Clan's 1993 single "Shame on a N***a" roars. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonIf Iron Fists is sometimes badly made, it is refreshingly badly made. It has a homemade charm that comes from a sense of having gestated in a lifelong obsession. |
| The Film YapNick RogersEqual parts Jack Burton and Richard Burton, Russell Crowe bellows and bloviates through the entire movie. That's a compliment to this lovingly cheeky and aggressively choreographed, if not overly exciting, valentine to shabby-grindhouse martial arts. |
