Watch The Man With the Iron Fists Movie Online No Survey Making his debut as a big-screen director and leading man, RZA-alongside a stellar international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu-tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero in nineteenth-century China who must unite to destroy the clan traitor who would destroy them all. Since his arrival in China's Jungle Village, the town's blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction. When the clans' brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon.

Review For The Man With the Iron Fists |
As befits a Tarantino-endorsed production, the anachronisms, one-liners and clashing acting styles are ostensibly part of the fun, but both the martial arts and the slightly dull narrative patchwork are too choppily edited to gain much of a foothold. Ben Kenigsberg-Time Out New York
Lunatic, slipshod, absurdly violent, horribly acted, and borderline incomprehensible. Ty Burr-Boston Globe
There's little happening here except slavish imitation and embarrassing hackwork. Peter Howell-Toronto Star
If Iron Fists is sometimes badly made, it is refreshingly badly made. Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice
The blood spurts, the knives shoot out, and the fists fly - but The Man with the Iron Fists never takes off. Alonso Duralde-The Wrap
"The Man With the Iron Fists" is the type of movie that feels like you are always coming in half-way through, even if you watch it from the beginning. As an exercise in genre, this is the highest compliment. Jordan Hoffman-Film.com
The Man with the Iron Fists is an off-balanced and bloated martial arts film that barely gets by on its gorgeous set design. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered
When you team with Eli Roth, who has the writing talent of a sociopathic thirteen year old boy on Ritalin, what can you possibly expect but swill? Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
A scrappily authentic and entertainingly bloody tribute to old-school chopsocky films and taken purely on those terms, there's not a lot to complain about. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
The movie is undeniably colorful and action-packed, and gorier than a slaughterhouse floor. But something's missing. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com
The violence is extreme and preposterous, the fights ingeniously choreographed, the producer Tarantino (his actual credit is "presents"). Philip French-Observer [UK]
The fists, feet and digital blood go flying in this enjoyable, frenetic, largely forgettable chop-socky extravaganza about, well, about a man with iron fists who gets into lots of fights. Jim Schembri-3AW
One is occasionally infuriated by the archness of the exercise. But there is a charming innocence to Fists' faith in the values of 1970s cross-cultural exploitation. Donald Clarke-Irish Times
A vacuous but fun exercise in chop-sock style over substance. David Michael Brown-Empire Magazine Australasia
Given the talent on board, this registers as a disappointment, but even with the clunky dialogue and subpar fight scenes, it's watchable fun. Stephen Lambrechts-FILMINK (Australia)
Predictably, this kind of gleeful fanboy excess yields diminishing returns. RZA hasn't much sense of storytelling rhythm, and lacks Tarantino's gift for turning adolescent obsessions into something uniquely personal. Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia)
It's so over the top that I just thought it was a hoot. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia)
Thank goodness for Russell Crowe who gives a sardonic, who-gives-a-damn performance as one of the good guys. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia)
The Man with the Iron Fists is as limp as last week's wet noodles. Russell Edwards-sbs.com.au
Rapper-turned-actor-turned-filmmaker RZA is clearly influenced by cohorts Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth as he indulges in this crazed pastiche of 1970s kung fu action romps. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
Self-defeatingly "Tarantino-esque". Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London
A one-note pastiche featuring impressive wire-fu, bloody mayhem and CGI mutilation. Alan Jones-Radio Times
The Man With The Iron Fists definitely isn't the most polished first effort. But if you approach it as a sloppy, OTT martial arts outing, you'll find the fun. James White-SFX Magazine
As long as you accept some magnificently bad dialogue, this is silly, fun and ludicrous beyond belief. Alex Zane-Sun Online
Psychopaths will love it. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
It's leaden, boorish and dull. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
