Reaction: The Immortal Iron Fist is another successful collaboration for writers Jimmy Ellis and Dwight Gallo. In fact, it is their highest grossing and most profitable collaboration yet.

"FINALLY! Finally at long last, the portrayal of Danny Rand, also known as The Immortal Iron Fist, has been perfectly executed. Luke Bracey, despite initial stiffness in his performance, eventually settles into the role towards the finale. While the film does offer a mediocre story, it's the spectacular martial arts sequences that truly steal the show. The Nee brothers demonstrate their prowess in directing action scenes, delivering, arguably, some of the most impressive fight sequences in the LRF Marvel Universe." - Marjin Blake Curtis, The Age (AU)

"Across their many Marvel collaborations, Gallo and Ellis have established a stable of films that feel like throwbacks to 70s and 80s action cinema. Heading into this, I was expecting an homage to '70s martial arts cinema but - while it is that - I was surprised to find Bloodsport to be just as much of its DNA. Bracey isn't the most charismatic leading man but the supporting characters are who really take the shine here." - Reggie Coscarelli, San Fernando Valley Sun

"I enjoyed the throwback qualities in The Immortal Iron Fist. We don't get to know the characters or their personalities a ton, but that's not the type of movie the filmmakers seemed interested in making. I thought the casting worked well - surprisingly even Luke Bracey, whose handsome stiffness actually worked well for a character like Danny Rand. My biggest problem with the film would be that for a big-budget martial arts superhero film, the fight scenes felt a bit lacking in originality and imagination." - Chrissy Lane, Manhattan Mercury

Rated R for action violence, drug content, language and thematic elements
