The Man with the Iron Fists Reviews

When I heard that RZA, the leader of the Wu Tang Clan, was coming with his own martial-arts flick, it sounded like something quite amazing. Eventually, it took me longer than expected to watch the damned thing and, after all, it turned out to be a decent watch but not much more, I'm afraid. First of all, in the contrary to RZA, even though I have heard of these outlandish martial-arts flicks from the 70's, I have actually never seen them and this movie was basically made for the fans of these movies. Anyway, in my opinion, the biggest mistake RZA made was to play the main character. I mean, it was pretty cool that that the main character was a black dude for once but he should have chosen a better actor like Chadwick Boseman or Michael B. Jordan as he certainly doesn't have the acting chops to play a leading man. As a result, apparently to cover up the fact he couldn't really carry this movie on his own, they added tons of characters which was just way too much for a movie lasting around 90 minutes. Still, as expected, the soundtrack was really neat and the whole thing looked pretty good with some rather insane but fun action scenes. To conclude, even though it was nothing really amazing, it was not bad and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
