In reply to WockerDaw. That would be true, if the writer didn't make false statements about said source material.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this review of Iron Fist. It’s true that the writer appears to not be familiar with Danny Rand’s portrayal in print, and as such he shouldn’t comment on it. However, I find all the rest of his criticisms to be on target.

I disagree with the criticism of Marvel’s Netflix shows as a whole, though.

The way I see it, the series started out _exceptionally_ strong with DareDevil, continued at almost the same level with Jessica Jones– and have been in a slow decline ever since. DareDevil season 2 wasn’t as good as season 1; Luke Cage was a sad shadow of what it could’ve been; Iron Fist has me shaking my head in sadness, and even laughing at things that aren’t supposed to be funny.

Looks to me like Netflix is trying to ride the Marvel money train for as far as it’ll coast, without giving it the fuel it needs to keep going strong.

A bit harsh but largely on point with sulky, emo Finn Jones. Also I’m glad you mentioned the power inconsistency, it’s not just marvel, the DC shows are even worse for this, the Flash can move at light speed and could take anyone out before they blink, yet fights at normal speed so people can strike and shoot him, obscenely ridiculous. Oliver queen has bested the world’s top assassin and was personally trained to take over his role as Demon head yet gets beaten occasionally by thugs and common soldiers.
Supergirl is immensely strong and fast (Kryptomians are amongst the most powerful beings in the universe) and virtually invulnerable yet has trouble against random aliens and metas.
Annoying.

This is like the 800th alert in my email I have received about Iron Fist. I think you guys are so proud of this shitty biased review. You only got six episodes , right? So, you didn’t get to watch all the episodes. Granted dialogue wasn’t great, but there’s no need to just DOG it mercilessly.

I would argue that making a show about Marvel’s MR KUNG FU should have some Kung Fu in it. We have all seen Bruce Lee,Jet Li and enough Raid movies to know what a decent fight scene looks like,even Daredevil had some terrific fight choreography,so I was expecting at least that from THE one character who is supposed to be the ultimate in that form.I can kick faster than Danny Rand,you can’t get an actor who has supposedly been training for 20 years to get a few moves in 6 months prep. And it was boring,the biggest disgrace.

People brutalizing the review are the actual fanboys. Iron Fist is as mediocre as TV dramas come, the writing and acting are below par.

In reply to brian.

What and u speak for everyone now? My two cents is invalid because u disagree or because of ‘my kind’ whatever tf that means? You love me? Correct and incorrect exist as a binary, bro, one half of a two part system could not have a ‘most’ or ‘least’ designation, it’s one or the other, start making sense, pal, and forbid you actually defend your position on the show, since it’s easier to only be sarcastically dismissive!

so the fucktard critic thinks Danny gets headaches? when he thinks about his p[ast? peopel with no imagination who cant comprehend sci fi or fantasy shouldnt review it. this is like someone saying i hated LOTR ( but they hate fantasy anywya) if you dont GET the material, your opinion is worthless to begin with. Iron Fist is flawed and the weaker of the 4 Marvel Netflix series, bu tits still very enjoyable

In reply to WockerDaw.

If they’re making idiotic and false statements about the source material and then using those statements to justify their opinions, then yes, the reviewers at least need to know what they’re talking about.

This is another review that can be safely ignored.

Read a comic. Then go drink lead paint. This review shouldn’t be allowed to exist

In reply to Strahd von Dread. No one needs to read the source material to review a tv show. If it doesn't exist on its own merits they've clearly failed to create a show with any crossover appeal.

In reply to HowDoIUninstall. This website hates DC, don't you read it? Also ignorance of d-list comic characters is hardly a bad thing. Also, reviews are opinions, welcome, Neo, to the real world.

In reply to Strahd von Dread. Show sucks, character sucks and lead actor especially sucks. He looks like he should be hosting a white wine tasting show, no way does he sell action franchise headliner. Reviewing this mediocre slop is a waste of the writer's time, no wonder it's shoddy, it's written with contempt. A reviewer is under zero obligation to coddle egos, nor spend weeks catching up on source material for an article they make 50 bucks off of. Get over yourself, nobody cares about Iron Fist and this half-assed show won't change that. Go out and get a writing job and do better.

In reply to HowDoIUninstall. Just finished iron fist its actually really good not as good as Daredevil and Jessica Jones but better than Luke Cage (not hard). The critic just give it bad reviews because they are so politically correct. Look on rotten tomotoes at the disparity between the audience and critics ratings.

“As the character in the comics was never remotely wealthy and privileged to this degree, it appears as if the Marvel/Netflix team created the character as a 1%-er so he could essentially be the money man who will eventually bankroll The Defenders team.”

The moment I read that was the moment I knew you never read a goddamn Iron Fist comic. You clearly don’t know who the character is.

You sound like an ignorant DC fanboy who isn’t just trying to give a bad review to iron fist with false claims ( Danny Rand IS a wealthy character), but you’re also desperately trying to make other Netflix shows look bad based on your personal opinion and not actual facts. Iron fist might be bad, since most of the reviews seem to agree on it, but the rest of the Netflix shows have had great reviews so far, so you’re either trying to give them a bad name in order to attract more readers, or you’re too amateur to know the difference between an actual review and a personal opinion. Probably both.

You guys really need to tighten up your proofreading. Goddamn. And claiming “As the character in the comics was never remotely wealthy and privileged to this degree” is just false, and entirely ignorant of the source material. You’ve just invalidated your opinion, like so many other so-called professional critics who have no clue what the fuck they’re talking about.
