Iron Fist on Netflix review: Avoid it
RottenTomatoes.com gives Iron Fist a dismal 19%
Jessica Henwick has some good scenes but you can see her acting. It's hard to watch.
Daredevil should have been their marker. This doesn't come close. Danny Rand's character is all over the board. He's a peaceful David Caradine type living in the park, then an angry rich boy yelling in a restaurant, not Iron Fist the defender of kunlun. Doesn't make sense nor does it carry the plot.
The fight in the Dojo will make most viewers cringe |
The villains are weak and feckless, the foreshadowing is vapid and predictable.
I was really looking forward to this as a call back to my youth with the build-up to Iron Fist, Power-man team up. Still in a quandary why producers decided to lean on Danny Rands angry spoiled rich guy persona to build a legend of a sacrificial warrior into a legend. Seems obvious that wasn't the way to wire a character new to the watching public.
Sorry man, I just cannot suspend my disbelief on this one long enough to ignore the shortcomings.
