    I´ve red a few reviews... Yes it´s the first season and it´s very good. In my opinion the presentation of the main character takes too long more o less 7 episodes. people don´t forgive these .

    The only thing it would need is more "iron fist" and less kung fu fights... but in the other hand the choreografi of the fights are the best i´ve saw.

    This is better than the critics are saying, the fight scenes are awesome and while it's quite slow, I wouldn't go so far as to say it ever gets boring. This is a good set up for the defenders.

    This is a solid addition to the others, not in the same league but is still easy to watch. The ending leaves a bit to be desired but hopefully will work with others

    This show is good, ignore the clueless critics. I find it hilarious that some of the same critics that panned this show gave Luke Cage good or decent reviews when that show was utter garbage. This is probably the 3rd best of the Netflix Marvel shows but its miles ahead of Luke Cage.

    This is the best Marvel Series since the KingPin DareDevil one. For sure better than the critically over rated Cage and Jessica Jones. Give it a shot for yourself. The only reason it gets a 9 is because the lead actor is not how I see Danny Rand at all and I've been an Iron Fist fanatic since the Heroes For Hire.

    I cannot fathom where the negative reviews for this come from- I have loved all of the Netflix Marvel universe programs and could not wait to watch Iron Fist when I saw it was coming out. I binge watched the hack out of it this weekend and could not stop saying how I thought this was the best one yet!! Can't wait for the Defenders this fall!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am not sure what show the critics were watching, but I really feel they missed the mark. Not every character needs to be dark and gritty. Finn Jones nails the combination of earnestness, naivete, and warrior-monk spirit that are Iron Fist. I honestly had no idea that he would get what makes the character so special in the comics. Iron Fist isn't your typical batman/wolverine/daredevil/cage/jessica jones hardcase superhero and should'n't be played as such. Jessica Henwick also is an awesome Colleen Wing as are the Meachums.
    The story had me hooked and I actually enjoy the slow boil of the show as Danny finds his place in NY. A few other things I loved about the show:
    1. The very different fighting styles - Danny's style is very internally focused, very different than what we have seen so far in most shows. Tai Chi, Wing Chun. Maybe some Bagua ? . . . very cool mixing up the fighting styles of each Defender.
    2. Homage to the 70's kung fu flicks. Some Heroes of the East in there with the Japanese vs. Chinese styles as well as others . . .
    3. Some great character placement from the comics. Loved seeing the Netflix take on Bride of Nine Spiders . .
    At any rate - I was seriously worried after reading the early reviews - I am SO glad I went to watch it myself.    … Expand

As in Daredevil, the Hand reveal themselves as the other side of the hero's coin -- except here, the Hand is far more subtle, realistic and understandable, with Bakuto as a somewhat idealistic if communist-leaning leader, willing to teach Danny important techniques his own masters neglected. I love the leading women of the show, including Claire, Colleen, Jeri and Joy. Madame Gao is also very fun to watch!

    This is very odd from the critics. It may not be better than daredevil Season 1 & 2 but it definitely beats Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

    With iron fist he is portrayed as a super hero at least while there is still more they could do and add to portray him as he is in the comic books and should be on a tv show still a good start and alot closer and more true to comics then other recent on screen adaptations of marvel books. Keep in mind we are talking about fantasy and science fiction here it's not meant to be like our real world and that is why the comic books are beloved in first place because people want just that and expect something different from the world they live in and characters and worlds we can only dream of ever becoming, being, or seeing period.

    So when bringing marvel or even DC comics to life on screen peruod they should stay true to the comics as best they can both script and casting wise and keep the real word and its politics out of it because when fans watch these shows and movies that are fantasy and science fiction btw that is what they look for and expect to see and don't like their childhood memories and pop culture messed with period do that with new stories and characters not existing ones. All i got to say while they should and can do more to be more true to the comics and i didn't like the daredevil adaptation but with luke cage i saw promise and it started to get better for marvel shows even though still not there but with what they have done starting from the luke cage tv show and onto iron fist tv show now there is alot more hope for future of marvel shows and they surely now look more promising then before.    … Expand

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get into a real and thorough review on Iron Fist, something that businesses like People's Magazine and Rolling Stones Magazine are incapable of producing these days.
    Marvel's Iron Fist is the 4th series in the Marvel TV universe, which is produced by Netflix and Marvel Studios and directed by Scott Buck, starring Finn Jones as Iron Fist/Danny Rand and Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing. I absolutely adored this show in just about every aspect, and really the only issue I had with it was some scenes in each episode seemed to drag a little bit, but besides that the show was fantastic and is probably the best entry in the Marvel TV universe since Daredevil. This show definitely is the most action packed Marvel show to date, and boy am I glad they saved most of the action for this show before The Defenders. The best part of the show for me was how true it stayed to it's original source material without making it look and feel ridiculous in any way if you get what I mean. The acting was great and the chemistry between Finn Jones's and Jessica Henwick's characters were beautifully executed, to the point where I thought for a split second that these two were really together as a couple in real life and not just in this series. The choreography for the fight scenes were handled very nicely and is some of the best small screen fighting I've ever seen on a television show to date, and the origin story and story in general was handled very nicely. In my honest opinion, I think this show is one of the best things showing on Netflix right now since Daredevil, and these people who call themselves "critics" need to learn how to give us quality reviews again without bringing racial and gender politics into everything because social justice doesn't sell and suede opinions on something most people are interested in and never will, so there is how you write a spoiler-free, non-bias (for the most part), and non-SJW review.

    (Quick little side note for any SJW's reading this, a white guy was cast as Iron Fist because the comic book version of Iron Fist is a rich white guy, pick up any Iron Fist comic book and you'll find out really quick, and any of you saying that he should be an Asian because "Iron Fist" and he is a Kung-Fu master are actually the ones who are the real racists because that is a very racist thing to even think, that's called stereotyping)    … Expand

    So far I'm half way through the series (the same amount of episodes that the critics got to review it) and I can say I agree with the critics on several things. Iron Fist is without a doubt the weakest of the Netflix Marvel shows so far, it's the only Marvel show that has noticeable plot holes and Danny Rand is a bit of an idiot.

But that all being said it's still a 6.5/10 show in my opinion and I'll explain why.

    Yes Iron Fist is weaker than Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones. The main reason is its lack of social commentary or not really it's lack so much as it's inability to approach it in the correct way. The clear commentary it is trying to make is a individuals versus corporate interest type of commentary. This is made clear by Danny's number of changes he wants to make to Rand industries when he's back in town. Unfortunately the show approaches this with little care by making Rand industries look evil in many aspects but at the same time making Danny look like a complete and total madman.

    Secondly there are some plot holes. They largely revolve around character motivation. Both Colleen Wing and Joy Meachum both do certain things that seem to go against their character. For Colleen it's her eventual cage fighting and for Joy it's her never ending flip-flopping on Danny while at the same time she's a decisive business woman.

    Thirdly you have to talk about Danny Rand. In my opinion Finn Jones portrayal of him is fine but he's written in a way that puts him in between having a sweet childlike naivety and being a madman for justice. The way he approaches situations is the main reason that he gets into trouble and it appears that he didn't learn social skills while growing up in K'un-Lun.

    Lastly, I have to address the idea of cultural appropriation a bit. In my opinion Iron Fist could have made great commentary on this aspect but instead they ended up with a show that was somewhere in the middle of being a straight crowdpleaser for classical Iron Fist fans and trying to highlight this issue. I feel like Danny correctly embraces his adopted culture but he does it so awkwardly that it can't help but come off a little bit like a white guy doing kung fu in a 1970s movie. It's clear that that they were cognizant of this criticism but opted not to really address it at all which is odd since other Netflix series (such as Master of None) address it perfectly.

    Now despite all that criticism... Iron Fist is very entertaining. There's something pleasant about seeing Danny half-blunder being a business man, half-blunder being a monk and half-blunder being a super hero. His goofy niceness and naivety makes him more human. The show also features both the characters of Colleen Wing and Harold Meachum which honestly are much more interesting to follow throughout the series. Especially Harold, what are his motivations? The pacing is pretty good it balances the Rand business drama with action fairly well and manages to still have the gritty Netflix-Marvel feel.

    Is Iron Fist the best Marvel show on television? No. But is it damn entertaining? Yes. Am I still excited for the Defenders? Of Course.

    Give it a chance.
    When you compare it to Daredevil, of course you will be disappointed, but the main character of Danny Rand is barely 30, whereas Matt Murdock is definitely an adult. The dark and brooding Hell's kitchen is replaced with a more upbeat, teeny-bopper flavor, and I feel it fits.

    In regards to character development, it would be interesting to compare Danny to Spiderman and DC's Green Arrow. Spiderman in that it truly is indicative of the post high school searching for yourself kind of story. I don't expect to like Danny, in fact I kind of can't stand him in the first few episodes, as he represents the I know-it-all kind of attitude and then is faced with read world challenges and flakes or folds. The similarities to DC's Green Arrow on the CW is that Danny suddenly is a billionaire and has to understand how to navigate the nuances of politics as well as social relationships. Green arrow is silly, campy, and many times unbelievable. Iron Fist is rooted in the metaphysical and that he is the "chosen one" is even more hilarious as he has no idea what to do with this kind of power. Again a typical young adult who thinks they know it all, until they are affronted with the brutal reality of the real world.

    The acting is all right. But seriously, I am not expecting the Piano. I will say the Meachums are done well. So much so you have a brewing hatred for all of them. But there is beauty in each of the character as they represent the flaws of humanity. Whether it be power hungry, corporate greed, or selling your ideals for the love of the fight, all of the characters thus far are intricate and well acted.

    Finn plays between Chris Platt from Guardians of the Galaxy and the doped up hippie kid that lives next door. While his performance is not new and noteworthy, he does the character justice if he is acting as an adult in his early twenties.

    Ward and Joy are well acted. You hate them. You try and find a redeeming quality about them, only to be disappointed once again, that kind of dastardly feeling is reserved for Geoffrey Baratheon and Ramsey Bolton. I say it's well done.

    The breakout star in my opinion is Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing.) Through her you feel the pangs of trying to commit to something in your life and things just not quite falling into place. Hers is the story of following your passion, and it not being enough to pay the bills. Watching her fight is invigorating, and while she is no Ip Man, or Jet Li, it's nice to see someone that has a reasonable range of martial arts skill and what it would look like without the smoke and mirrors.

    It's a fun ride. It won't rock your world like Man in High Castle, but seriously folks it's a superhero movie.    … Expand

    The worst part is the music. It's just horrible. It's a mishmash of Mass Effect and Tron: Legacy for the ambiance music, with a rare touch of trance. Then the artist music in it is just the worst and actually detracts from the scenes.

    The acting is anywhere from adequate to moving. Finn seems to be VERY subjective to the director. He has some quite acceptable and even fun/impressive. Then he has others where it is just cringeworthy. Fortunately, that director only had that one episode. Jessica Stroup is about the most consistently good actress in the series, followed closely by Wai Ching Ho who will just creep you out at times (though the same bad director used her HORRIBLY in his episode). Rosario gives here worst performance from across the Netflix/Marvel series overall.

    The writing is about all that saves this series from dropping to a 5 or 6. The execution is often the problem. The obviously largest impact is the directing, followed by the acting and music. Perhaps a new producer might be able to get a hand (not a pun, seriously) this and wring the bad directors out and get a competent music director to perhaps bring in a little asian undertone to the ambiance music and chose some fitting artist music that is more fitting to the scenes.    … Expand

I wanted to leave my thoughts as follows. *No spoilers below, though I suggest you finish the series yourself before reading any reviews.*

    "The Iron Fist" tells a fantastic story and while it does start out somewhat slow, it does a fantastic job of character development for the entire cast. The slow beginning is attributed to explaining Danny Rand (Finn Jones) and his past, bridging the gap to the series beginning. It's an origin story, much like every other Marvel series first season on Netflix.

    Some critics had issues with Finn Jones' portrayal of the "Iron Fist" and I can only attribute that to his deliberately scripted naivety flying over their heads. The character has been disconnected from the world for the entirety of his teenage/adult life and entering the metropolitan mecca of New York city is strange to him initially. I thought it was a good representation of those events. He also goes through some powerful character development and ends in a great culmination as the character unravels his mysteries.

    The supporting cast of the series is amazing, David Wenham's portrayal of "Howard Meachum" and Tom Pelphrey as "Ward Meachum" steal the series. The dynamic and chemistry between them both is amazing and I found myself just as invested in their character arc, if not more, than that of Iron Fist. Both showed stunning acting capability and should be recognized for their fantastic portrayal.

    Jessica Henwick plays "Colleen Wing," the main protagonist's love interest. Some critics have suggested that it follows the same formula as other Netflix series. I however, found their dynamic unique and compelling. Both characters help unravel each-others past and surrounding mystique. It isn't simply thrust into the viewers face, and tells a complex tale with a engaging character arc. I actually found it more unique than that of the other Netflix series.

    Jessica Stroup plays "Joy Meachum" and while she doesn't steal the show, she deserves a mention for her formidable acting and plays her role to near perfection. She's a powerful woman dealing with the death of her father while trying to forward the success of the business empire she inherited, leading down twists and turns of complex situations and eventually finding out who she really is inside.

    Rosario Dawson reprises her role as "Claire Temple" as well as Wai Ching Ho as "Madame Gao". If you're familiar with previous Marvel series on Netflix you're intimate with both characters. Both play their roles similarly and very well. One criticism of Rosario Dawson's character throughout these series is that she seems to pop up at critical plot points. I do wish they'd introduce her more subtly. However, she ultimately delivers as intended.

    There are other supporting members of the cast that play their roles solidly, such as the mysterious Ramon Rodriguez as "Bakuto" and Sacha Dhawan as "Davos." I have nothing but praise for both actors.

    The fighting in the series is true to Marvel's style in the Netflix universe, with a touch of Ninja themed combat and more hand to hand violence. I found it enjoyable. It was a nice change from the typical masked warrior with his gadgets. It has more of a human mortal element to it and it had me more personally invested in each fight scene, though as far as "gore" it was toned down in comparison to the other series. In this situation it's probably for the best. The lack of a huge super hero ability and corny costume made me connect more with the character.

    The overall plot twists and turns with beautiful character development for the surrounding cast, and the tale that is spun kept me engaged from episode 1 to 13. I was never not entertained, and went into the series actually expecting the worst due to some of the critical reception. However, an engaging story presented itself and left me more than satisfied upon its ending, and I do hope a second season eventually transpires. You might want to resist the urge to binge watch and take in the series at your own pace, I found it more enjoyable that way. I highly suggest viewers give it a try blindly and use freedom of thought when watching. When compared to other Marvel Netflix series it holds up more than satisfactory. I believe most of the negative criticism comes from those not wishing for an "Iron fist' series, and yearning for more of their already familiar heroes or those they desire to be introduced. However, if you can put that past yourself and think of the series objectively you can enjoy the beginning of the "Iron Fist" from start to finish and leave adequately satisfied, and possibly wanting more. If there was another season in the works I'd hardly object. Iron fist was another fantastic edition to Netflix's marvel universe and if you're familiar with the superhero genre it will leave you ultimately pleased and wanting more!    … Expand

    I couldn't disagree more with the negative critic reviews on this show. It's actually been quite good. I still think Daredevil and Jessica Jones is better, but Iron Fist is really enjoyable. I've read the criticisms and the biggest ones I've seen are that the pacing is bad, the storytelling is sloppy, the villains bland and the lead Finn Jones not being convincing. While I understand the last criticism, I disagree with ALL of them.
    I found the pacing to be fine, if not better than in Luke Cage (the first half was solid and the second half felt like it dragged in LC). The storytelling is fine. I don't agree with the notion it's a slow grind. Each scene builds layers into the story, from Danny's time in the hospital to his encounter with each "villain." I say "villain" in quotes by the way because Joy, Harold and Ward Meachum each have several layers. I find this no more impressive by the way than in Ward Meachum, portrayed by Tom Pelphrey. There is a depth to his character that the actor conveys with subtle facial expressions. I think one of the highlights of the show is Ward Meachum and the simmering resentment you understand his character feels with each episode. As for Finn Jones as Danny Rand. Some people have said he seems more like a frat boy who took a karate lesson. This is intentional. Danny is a well meaning rich boy who tows the line of two worlds, one with spirituality and black-white views on the notion of material wealth, and the other being the elite world in Manhattan. Danny is jovial in his martial arts. At first it seems awkward, until you understand his background. At one point he says he was "trained for an enemy that never came." He has never had to see the real fruits of his labor, the finish line of his training, his purpose. So he's very much a boy with all these abilities with no one to appreciate them, no one to say "WOW, that's why Iron Fist was trained." Not only that, but he spent his life in a monastery longing for a life he so violently lost. The character of Danny Rand is accurately portrayed here, and Finn Jones brings a tenderness that I find endearing. It's a good foil as well for the brooding conflict of Matt Murdock and trauma of Jessica Jones.
    One last thing, the combat. I've seen criticism of the fight scenes and while I do agree Daredevil's were better, I think Iron Fist's are quite good. From the trailers it looks like Danny Rand is just playing around. This is intentional. Those you see him fighting were never a threat. They were an exercise and he didn't exert himself. Keep watching. There's a great scene in the second episode where you realize "oh **** Danny Rand can hurt people." His kung-fu background is the explanation for his water-like movements, and it works.
    OH, and Jessica Henwick is amazing as Colleen. Her portrayal of a woman with a strict moral code that's slowly crumbling because of her growing displeasure with her circumstances is brilliantly portrayed. She brings such life to the character, and she's a badass.
    There are a few issues with the series. The fight scenes could use better camera angles, but they are still quite enjoyable and up to par from what you would expect. There is an awkward "get-to-know-you-scene" in episode 5 that shouldn't occur where it does, but the scenes that follow more than make up for it.    … Expand

    Whilst critics reviews rated Iron Fist poorly, I believe they were overly harsh. Despite not being the best of the netflix series, Iron Fist was solidly entertaining, and lacked the cheesiness that caused Luke Cage not to work for me.

    It is worth noting that pacing continues to be an issue for these series, and that Iron Fist contains less comedic elements than other series. The show does however do a good job of presenting Danny Rand as a character, playing up a combination of naivite brought on by living outside the world and emotional trouble papered over by a calm exterior, played well by Finn Jones. Whilst the casting of a 'white saviour' is problematic as many have stated, it is only a little more pronounced here than in Batman or similar. In addition, Rand's role as an outsider in both worlds due to the young age at which his training began is used as a more significant plot point than would normally be expected, especially as his background becomes more clear- this does not excuse the issue, but the situation surrounding certain decisions in the plot does derive more meaning, and emotional significance than many takes on the trope. In fact, a more jarring casting decision seems to be that of Davos, one of Rands friends from the monastery who is explicitly stated to be a local, yet speaks with one of the most obvious south of England accents I have heard in American TV. Apart from this, Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing provides a more grounded counterpoint to Jones' cheery optimism and bravado, getting the part spot on and forming a major draw to the series. The side characters are well played and mostly interesting, though the aforementioned pacing issues do lead to their stories being a little convoluted.
    In terms of the main arc and themes, loss and revenge feature heavily after the mid point of the series, whilst duty is another important factor in Rands development- I do however think the themes were a little unfocused and patchy perhaps because the writers lacked a good way to pair Rand's optimism and naivite with the more serious emotional aspects of the character. Iron Fist also takes a reasonably well discussed look at the cult like set up of the Hand, making good parallels with less respectable real world organizations and cults, especially given the mix of mysticism and pragmatic organization involved.
    For fans of Daredevil, the re-ocuring Hand are explored in more depth, with a generally good appreciation of the previous story-telling. It is especially notable that the events of Daredevil S2 seem to have quite depleted the army of ninjas available to them, with their leaders resorting to more conventional gun wielding goons at times- while this may be a reasonable plot point, as it seems unlikely the supposedly secret Hand could have literally hundreds of ninjas hiding just in New York, it does remove some of the threat from the hand, who are overall messier and less sinister than their previous counterparts. There is a notable exception to this, in a scene which directly calls back to one of their most nefarious activities, but otherwise their evil seems limited by comparison to Nobu's efforts in Daredevil season 2.
    Overall, whilst Iron Fist suffers from the same pacing issues as previous Marvel-Netflix collaberation's and lacks the intimidating bad guys of Jessica Jones or Daredevil, it is entertaining and is, even in its worst moments, on a level with some of the better seasons of non-MCU super hero TV. In fact, the only regard in which it suffers by this comparison is that, in being somewhat late to the party, it can be fairly criticized for lacking originality, given the reasonably well trodden path of its setting and world.    … Expand

    Far, FAR better than what the critics suggest, The show has problems but it's still better than the CW stuff. It has similar problems to Luke Cage, slightly sluggish execution, lack a main villain, but other than that it's still fun and enjoyable to watch.

    i had given this show a rating of 10 earlier. This was primarily to combat all the hate that the show is getting for no reason. I have now changed it to 8, because I think a rating of 7-8 better reflects the quality of the show.

    Is it great? No. Is it good? Definitely. It's a shame that you can't rate the critic reviews as helpful or not. They did a shameful job. And I don't even know why. In the comic books, the character is white, and his being white is integral to the story. I'm Asian and I don't care about your crappy politics, but it seems like a double standard when a Finn Jones is cast to play a white character that is white in the source material and the show gets mercilessly chastised, while Idris Elba gets cheered when he's talked about as being the next James Bond, who has been traditionally white.

    Every initial critic review had a score of less than 40, which I think held back later reviewers from giving it a higher score. That not one of the critic review has a positive score is very telling, when far worse shows have a lot better critic reviews.

    As to the quality of the show, as I mentioned before, it's not a masterpiece, but it often does a good job. There's some stilted dialog, and sometimes you feel like the show isn't going anywhere. But mostly you'll be kept entertained. I agree with other reviewers in that it's on the same level as Luke Cage and Daredevil. The actors do a fine job, but there's nothing truly original about any of the characters. Although you don't have a standout action sequence like in the two seasons of Daredevil, the action is overall pretty good.

    Go watch it for yourself. DON'T TRUST THE CRITICS ON THIS ONE.    … Expand

    Following on from the excellent Daredevil and Jessica Jones, as well as the decent Luke Cage series, Iron Fist is very disappointing. The show moves too slowly and could easily have been reduced from 13 episodes to 10, or even 8, episodes without losing anything of significance. The action scenes, which are surprisingly few and far between for a show about someone with legendary martial art skills, are also a disappointment and pale in comparasion to other Netflix Marvel shows.

    A further issue is Finn Jones in the lead role. He’s not a bad actor by any means but he lacks the charisma or screen presence to carry a show in the way that someone like Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) does, particualry as the bad guys are largely men in masks with no personality of their own.
