20 Jan Review of the series “Iron Fist”. Call an ambulance!

Everyone is used to it Marvel It produces film and television products that can attract the attention of millions- often straight-line, but ridiculous, overloaded not by dialogues, but with fights, moreover, masterfully, with a variety of decorations and impressive special effects.

The heroes of the comics of the American company on the screens are surprising and impressive – bright, like the characters of the video game, they, with rare exceptions, leave no one indifferent. And thereby the exception, it seems, was Danny Rand from " Iron fist " Marvel Television And Netflix. The project rating on Metacritic is 37/100, and on Rotten Tomatoes – 16%. Alas, quite deserved ..

Fist that should destroy the hand

"Iron Fist" partly resembles " Dr. Strandge "(Just do not count on the abundance of jokes): the main character went on preparation in the Himalayan monastery, is able to concentrate mystical energy in the hand and crush any obstacle and enemy, even the Buddha, if it rises in the way.

As a man named Danny Rand brought into the wilderness, where to withstand severe frosts on the shoulder only to combat monks in yellow rows? The answer is simple – in these places the plane of his parents fell into pieces. Danny is the heir to the billionaires, the owner of a control package of shares of the pharmaceutical company Rand Enterprises.

"Iron Fist" was shot in the sparse of the scenery – continuous repetitions and chamber.

Fifteen years after the accident, a rich orphan returns to New York in the guise of a barefoot homeless hipster (however, with neatly trimmed nails). Former friends, Ward and Joy Michoma, the children of his father's partner Harold Michom, do not recognize the “Ghost from the past” in the tape and write off the situation for corporate sabotage and the machinations of competitors. But it doesn’t matter, because Danny has a fantastic power, and she will help restore justice ..

The plot of the “iron fist” is served too sluggishly, the same flashback (the crash of the aircraft) is often repeated and quickly begins to irritate, and the dialogs are a real scourge of the series. Heroes are in no hurry to give out something important and sometimes frankly mixed, like a ray in conversations with a psychiatrist. Michomas put him in the hospital by force, and Danny, trying to impress a healthy person, tells the doctor about the parallel dimension, qi energy and the true purpose of the iron fist. Well, like a child, by golly!

Rand is very vulnerable, albeit superhero. Glorified – hit the psychiatric hospital.

Short phrases, which the main character gets off, and the general absurdity in conversations is not a reason to put the show deuce. In the end, the plot rod is much more important … if it was still here. After viewing the introductory episodes, you will not understand what evil the monk billionaire intends to fight with. The mysterious clan of the hand will appear on the horizon slowly, which at one time is spraced in " Ninja turtles ": Mask warriors covering trade prohibited substances. Here it is, the breath of penny cinema of the 1980s: evil ninja and “forbidden”, the formula of dozens of mediocre American films that unscrupulously operating oriental martial arts.

But this could be forgiven, because the iron fist is a child of the era, the face of a comic book forty years ago. Wolverine also went to Japan, confirming that Asian aesthetics does not harm the image of a serious superhero at all. The problem of the creators of the new series is in the passage of combat scenes, even plotly significant. Rand speaks fragmentedly and fights exactly the same. Fast installation focuses only on tricks, and not on preparation for blows, so that the lion's share of the acrobatics of stuntmen passes by your attention. How the fighter was in this place? When he managed to swing? A lot of questions, and in the end there is no intrigue in the fights.

Finn Jones aware of the criticism of the show. Its excuse sounds like this: "We shot for fans".

Sometimes, however, the editor is hackite, and we clearly see how slowly, carefully and stagnant the opponents are moving – as if disassembly is Milky Wins sister sites under water. Large plans are also failed, where, instead of understudy, Finn Jones himself is blown up (Loraz Tirell from " Games of Thrones ") That embodied Danny. The scenes of training and the “master class” in Dodzu Collin Wing, his friends, are especially indicative, you can’t call the fist with elegant and honed ”. Although it would seem – years of exhausting training in the monastery, strict discipline, thousands of sticks broken on the back ..

By the way, O Collin Wing – Jessica Henwick plays her, and sometimes she fights more convincing Jones. And in general, the second-plan artists are more interesting than the "main stars"-take at least Carrie-Enn Moss (Trinity from " Matrices "), Who again represented in the guise of lawyer Jerin Hogart, or traditionally lively livestock Rosario Dawson.

And how David Wenn tried! He, perhaps, portrayed the most making -up figure in this performance – Harold Michoma, officially declared by the dead co -owner of Rand Enterprises. Lives in solitude in a penthouse, sees New York only out the window and blames the clan of his hand in hermit life. On the one hand, Danny is too easily conducted on his speech, on the other hand, you can close your eyes for this for the sake of the first meeting of their first meeting.

Trinity and I would be glad to hold a spoon in his hands, but only a colorful dish was found in the grief of the props.

So controversial and often frankly tasteless turned out the first season of the Iron Fist. Soon Rand will return to screens in " Defenders " – Star Gulyanka in the company of Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Perhaps it is rehabilitated, especially since the damn dozen of solo series does not particularly reveal his image – even the case did not come to the superhero costume.

The series justifies the rating "18+". One of the wounds is shown extremely realistic – it turns back from the screen.

Danny Rand claims that the stronger it is peeled, the more clearly the personal purpose becomes. We hope that sooner or later the enemies will really direct him to the true path, and the adventures of this character will be more prudent.
