The Man with the Iron Fists is quite an oddity in modern cinema: a big budget kung fu movie released wide. It's an ambitious effort for lifelong martial arts enthusiast and Wu-Tang founder RZA, who adds the role of film director to his eclectic career.
Filmed on location in China with an international cast and crew, featuring complex fight choreography and CG sequences, The Man with the Iron Fists is a mighty complicated affair; maybe too complicated. Some of it works, some of it decidedly doesn't, but in the end it's chaotic fun despite its flaws.
The story seems complex, but is simple at its core. Several warring factions have converged on a small village in feudal China, all after the same thing: a supply of the emperor's gold. Jungle Village, as it's called, becomes the backdrop for a series of escalating fights and the village's famed Blacksmith (played by RZA) is caught up in the intrigue, as his legendary skill at crafting weapons is in demand from all sides.
If you're a kung fu fan, a Wu-Tang fan, or a fan of martial arts in general, going to see this is a no-brainer. For everyone else, it might be more of a mixed bag. In places The Man With the Iron Fists is a jubilant action movie, but it's uneven. Those able to look past some messiness will have a lot of fun.

Nov 2, 2012 · The action in Man with the Iron Fists - which is really the big selling point of the film - is just okay. Some of the fight choreography and 'wire-fu' acrobatics are wonderful and exciting, but too much of the film relies on tightly-framed quick-cut editing techniques and CGI blood spurts. There are hints of classic martial arts flicks peppered ...

Nov 1, 2012 · At its most vehement, The Man with the Iron Fists is more cinematic for the ear than the eye: RZA cooks up a strong brew of clanging metals, crackling flames, and rivers of CGI blood that gush from sword slices courtesy of Evil Dead F/X maestro Greg Nicotero. The wire-fu scenes are beautifully choreographed, but pretty crudely edited; despite ...
