I personally am very excited about this movie. I am hoping to get a babysitter tomorrow, to go check it out!

Anyone else?

I am sick of Quintin Tarantino slapping his names on films he had absolutely nothing to do with.

I'm sure he does help with the process in some shape or form.

Plus they say QT Presents... it helps the director.

During the development process, Tarantino agreed to lend his name to the film with a "presented by" credit. In October 2012, RZA said that he and Tarantino had intended to crossover The Man with the Iron Fists with Tarantino's 2012 Western Django Unchained. The crossover would have seen a younger version of RZA's blacksmith character appear as a slave in an auction.

This is the extent of his contribution.

I am sick of how many "film buffs" try and correct me on that Iron monkey is a Tarantino film.

LOL

ETA - Those are probably the same people that thought Hero was Tarantino's new film.

Best yet are the performances. While RZA plays the title character he is not a particularly strong actor, and his passive performance means the rest of the cast have to pick up the slack, which they do in entertaining fashion. Lucy Liu successfully repeats that cool as ice killer vibe she rocked in Kill Bill as a brothel madam, Byron Mann is gloriously campy as the films main villain Silver Lion, and Rick Yune projects heroism as the films purest character, the honourable Zen Yi.

It’s Oscar winning actor Russel Crowe who steals the show as Jacknife, a British soldier whose loyalties are always in question. Knowing full well Crowe’s reputation as the world’s most serious actor (as lampooned by Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder) it is indeed a blast to watch Crowe let loose in a film that is as far from Oscar aspirations as any film could be, as he plays both charming gent and madcap killer with a knife so deadly serious that it would make Crocodile Dundee crap himself.

It all amounts to a fun time had with a genre movie directed by a filmmaker who knows exactly where his strengths lay, The Man with the Iron Fists packing one mean exploitation punch.

This movie will suck.


The REAL Tarantino movie, Django Unchained, is the must-see film of the year.
