Iron Fist (TV Series) Immortal Emerges from Cave (2017) User Reviews

So slow...

[rclec · 6/10 · 14 July 2022]

Other fights in this series have been pretty fair - though the incredible variation in Danny's skill is laughable. Tremendous one moment, absolutely pathetic the next.

The first fight scene - to the death and all that - was excruciatingly slow, almost like they'd been told to move in slow motion.

Sad, had great potential, but no wonder it was canned...

Plenty of action

Plenty of action and random fighting in a show that doesn't resemble at all the first couple of episodes. The character of Danny remains an annoying hollow in the centre of the episode but others, such as the welcome Rosario Dawson, are much better.

I like the show but ...

The biggest problem here is with the staging, which is the director's responsibility. The dumbest thing Danny does in the whole episode is to let the Spider Lady - someone he's come to fight to the death - walk around behind him. Has RZA never seen Enter the Dragon? "Never take you eyes off your opponent, even when you bow," advises Bruce. So what does Danny do ..?

As other reviewers have mentioned, the martial arts on display are quite variable, excellent one moment, amateurish the next.

Anyway, we'll see if it gets any better ... mostly I just want to get through all the Netflix shows so I can watch The Defenders ... then I can form an overall opinion ...

Neither plot nor wit to be found.

If all you care about is fighting, you'll probably enjoy this episode. You'll have to ignore that Danny is an idiot even during fights, but so be it. If you expect a reasonable story or smart and entertaining dialogues once in a while, just like I do, ... it's so so so bad. It's Luke Cage bad.

Moralism

The fight might me good, but, when asked if he would kill danny and be the iron fist, than the "soul" was louder and won, like, wtf, would be so much better the other way.
