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.

"The Man with the Iron Fists" is a classy trash with a senseless and messy story, no character development, spoken in English and with an irritating hip hop in the soundtrack. In the environment of China, the pretentious RZA wastes budget, a wonderful cinematography and a great cast in an unfunny and violent parody of Wuxia that never works.
Nov 2, 2012 · The Man with the Iron Fists is an off-balanced and bloated martial arts film that barely gets by on its gorgeous set design. Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 17, 2013
Nov 3, 2012 · Rza makes a successful screenplay writing debut with The Man with the Iron Fists. The movie is a homage to classic great kung fu films and Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu are pitch perfect.
