    I really can’t find anything positive to say about Iron Fist season 1. This season is evidence that while Marvel has had a lot of success with both movies and TV shows in recent years, they can still be hit or miss.

This season is evidence that while Marvel has had a lot of success with both movies and TV shows in recent years, they can still be hit or miss. IF is a huge miss, and it’s disappointing that it’s a miss since the story behind this show could’ve been really engaging and interesting had everything else not been executed so poorly. The writing, directing, action and acting are all nowhere near as good as they are in other Marvel Netflix shows and all should’ve been done differently. The scenes are awkward and don’t flow very well, and the chemistry between the actors isn’t great either, which makes so many moments in the show feel like a drag. The action and martial arts scenes are ok at best and if you’re looking for some really good fight sequences I’d recommend you go look at Daredevil, which has top notch fight choreography. There are also some plainly stupid moments and plot points in the season that just make it ridiculous. There are things that shouldn’t have been included in the season and areas that should’ve gotten a lot more focus. The acting doesn’t help much either; Finn Jones wasn’t the greatest casting choice for Danny Rand and doesn’t play the part the way it deserves to be played. Jessica Henwick does a decent job of portraying Colleen Wing but she isn’t enough to keep the season afloat. There are some moments in the show that have promise, but they don’t generate enough momentum to really get the show going and make it exciting. My best advice with this show is to binge watch it and get it over with as quickly as possible so it doesn’t feel like a joyless slog or to not watch it at all to save yourself the boredom. IF s1 is a big disappointment and I hope the character is able to earn redemption someday, hopefully in the MCU.… Expand

    What's the opposite of "Marvel?" ... Annoying, dragging, indecisive. A lengthy melodrama that has some good technical points and stand-out actors, but fails overall to engage under the orchestration of a dull, dragging, unnecessary script! Predictable and what's not predictable doesn't add to any excitement. This series is the definition of Mental Garbage.

    Things I would rather do than watch this awful actor play an awful character with awful dialogue in an awful plot line: anything else!

    This is by far the most horrendous Marvel production yet made. Baaaaaaad.

    Iron Fist more like Iron Complete Bollocks Ass.

    If Iron Fist was a show consisting only of the actually interesting stuff, it would be three to four episodes max instead of 13 goddamn episodes. Danny Rand/Iron Fist and Colleen Wing are the only good things about this thing. When they're on-screen, the show is alright, sometimes even quite cute. I liked their chemistry and every time    Iron Fist more like Iron Complete Bollocks Ass.

Danny Rand/Iron Fist and Colleen Wing are the only good things about this thing. When they're on-screen, the show is alright, sometimes even quite cute. I liked their chemistry and every time they were in the show something was actually happening.

    But about 60-70% of the show is dedicated to a storyline focusing on Rand Enterprises and its staff, and it's one of the most lifeless, annoying, frustrating, stupid and repetitive storylines I've seen so far. Seriously, that storyline is absolute bollocks. Complete tosh. Dreadful. It is so obviously filler and so out of place that there wasn't a single moment I was enjoying it. The characters Ward and Joy are terrible. They're completely empty and lifelessly acted. Even after just a couple scenes of that business stuff that repeats itself over and over again I was hoping for anything else. The badly edited action scenes that happened probably once every two episodes felt like heaven after watching Ward and Joy talk about stuff over and over again. At one point in the show Ward's dad, Harold, becomes a bigger character and he joins the stupid conversations too, and he was at times even more annoying than Ward. The show never shows, it just tells and it's awfully uninteresting.

    Luckily the show somewhat improves in the later episodes. We start to get more of Danny and Colleen and a lot more happens than just constant talking. Some of the dojo scenes were pretty fun and had some cool soundtrack choices and in episode 12 we get a lot more action too even though it's still pretty badly shot and there isn't really a feeling of weight in it. Sometimes Danny looks like he only has to dodge and everyone flies to a wall and sometimes he struggles against one freaking guy. It's definitely better than any of the Rand Enterprises stuff but not exactly something I'd care to watch again.

    Even if the final few episodes were better, they came far too late and still had some of the terrible stuff in them too and by the end I was just glad for the show to be over. All in all, Iron Fist is bollocks. Not recommended.    … Expand

    I was looking forward to the series as it was something more magical in marvel tv, it started off great but about half way through it got stupid and ridiculous, Finn Jones is a terrible actor and he's like a crying baby throughout the series, Jessica Henwick stole the show and her acting was fantastic, she held the series together with an interesting character and a strong performance.

    I liked it well enough to watch the first season,: this show is about a boy who, after a tragedy grows up in a monetary and learns a powerful ability.

    I find it to be the weakest of the Netflix hero series, but the show stands alone on it own merits; namely, good characters, decent acting, interesting setting, and a budget to support it.

    I will also say, that it is somewhat pretentious.

    Iron Fist starts promising, gets boring and near the end it's just unbearable. The Danny rand character is so hateable, half the time he acts like a 10-year-old kid with personality issues and the other half, like a 14 year-old girl on her period, the only bearable character is Ward, at least most of the time. Simply a waste of time.

Finn Jones was just not believable in the role. He was just so awkward when he fought or did anything with physical movement that it ruined the scene for me. Maybe most egregious, the fight scenes were almost hard to watch. There were multiple times where you could see no contact being made, illogical choices during confrontations, and just overly choreographed conflicts. Colleen Wing's character had better, more believable fight scenes than the main character did and she did a commendable job with the character pretty poor material. The Meachum family delivered pretty compelling portrayals of their characters and were one of the few positive of this series. Another problem with this series was the way the Hand was portrayed. In Daredevil, the Hand was a menacing, dangerous legion of mystical ninjas. In Iron Fist, they were a bunch of children and random dudes who took a few self defense classes at the local YMCA. Rosario Dawson was solid as usual, but even she couldn't help elevate the show with its poor writing. I disagree with a lot of users here who think politics played into the critics' reviews of the show. The show was just bad. However, I do think if any other actor with more of an on screen presence and the ability to make us believe he was a actually a master of kung fu were cast, then it would have made a huge difference.… Expand

There is a strong Martial Arts presence but all the Asian guys are defeated in droves by non Asian guys. All the white guys are bosses,rich, and are only misguided because they put family first. The lead artist is obviously not a martial artist.

    I got half-way through Iron Fist on my way across the country, and after the first episode, I thought "hey, this isn't nearly as bad as I was led to believe. It's not great, but it has some real promise."

    Unfortunately, with each episode, the show gets a little worse, not better. What happened, Netflix?

    Unfortunately, with each episode, the show gets a little worse, not better. What happened, Netflix? Your other Marvel-based shows has been so, but this one just has crappy writing and slow pacing. The "corporate evil vs. kind heart" scenarios are presented with a first grade level of nuance. The martial arts aren't very good and are remarkably inconsistent (Danny keeps teaching Colleen how to be a better fighter, yet he keeps getting nearly beaten up by lone thugs without much skill). The pseudo-profundities Danny keeps uttering are cringeworthy, both because they're terribly cheesy AND because they're delivered with an amateurishness that make him sound like a beginner attempting to sound like he thinks "a master" should sound. Colleen's classes are terribly cliched, both in how she teaches and how her students act. The pre-fight (and mid-fight!) poses that Danny adopts are right out of the worst 80s Americanized martial arts movies. I can normally laugh at silly martial arts stereotypes, but these just make me cringe. As I said, the pacing is way off, too. There might be 4 episodes worth of story here, but it takes 13 episodes to tell.

    The cast is pretty good, but the writers should cut their teeth on some low-budget, low-stakes shows to get some practice before tackling ANY network's flagship show, especially for a network that sets a bar as high as Netflix does.

    If you're a big fan of the Netflix Marvel sub-universe, Iron Fist is worth watching to follow the ongoing plot lines that'll weave together in The Defenders, but while it's not exactly a slog to get through, it's not a good show by any stretch of the imagination.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Besides the excellent cast (Tony Pelphrey has just too good acting and Jessica Henwick astounds in every aspect), Iron Fist sucks. I'm so sorry to come up here and say it but there isn't any other words to put it clearly.

    You don't know who the fact is the villain, if there's really a villain in this story. I know it could be mature if it worked correctly but in this storyline, where everything is about what is wrong and right, it just doesn't work. This series could use some great villain, with some badness, ugliness and power.

    Madame Gao is a good villain, but her plotline is unconclusive. She jokes everyone, she is immortal, she is a drug dealer and she can use the chi (better than Danny). SHE IS A **** BOSS. But then she is just aprisioned by the Hand (a organization where she has some kind of leadership) in a room and isn't abble to be rescued by the Hand (HER Hand) and she also isn't abble to kick the door off with her power.

    The Hand itself doesn't work well. It's just a bunch of teenagers trying to be sucessful in life: what is wrong with you, Danny??

    Daredevil kicks drug dealers asses, Luke Cage tanks a lot of bullets (specially from the police) and Jessica Jones drinks a lot and still have the time to save the city from a freaking crazy mastermind controller son of a **** (Luv U Killgrave). Danny can't do anything like that. Coleen is the real deal here. She kills the leader of the High School "the Hand" Musical. She is the one who has a katana and DOENS'T LOSE A FIGHT. WHAT A BOSS, I say.

    The other villain, the last villain, the main villain. Harald Meachum. What can I say? He is the worst villain from the Netflix superhero series. And any other superhero from Netflix (AKA Jessica, Luke or Matt) would beat the **** out of him, without being hit by a shot.

    Not even the fighting scenes are really cool. They're just generic. The kind of thing you can see in Arrow or Agents of Shield. It would be nice to see some chinese coreographys and mistic things from chi and Kun-Lun, but in the end I kept caged in business bull**** and familiar tragedy 80% of the time.
