In an action and exciting atmosphere, this series follows Danny Rand who is the young with incredible martial arts skills and a mystical force known as the Iron Fist. Season two starts with Danny and Colleen meet an old acquaintance. Meanwhile, we see Joy enters a new exciting adventure.
If you are one of the approximately six people who didn't groan at the first season of this plodding, dull headache of a property, good news: You will also not hate the second one.
Iron Fist still feels like a show in search of an urgent reason to exist, beyond the obligation to serve as one part of an intellectual property quintet that periodically intersects for team-up mini-series.
If the remaining four episodes are at least at this level, this is easily the most improved Marvel Netflix season and could stand as one of the best overall.
It doesn't blow the MCU status quo out of the water, but the action here is capable and entertaining - and they keep the set pieces loose and fun in a way that feels like a good fit for this character and world.
Its lead character doesn't deserve top billing, and maybe never will. So until Daughters Of The Dragon becomes a reality, we'll keep checking out Iron Fist for the rest of the fight card.
A willingness to laugh at itself grounds the show, making it feel more human, especially when so many other parts of it strain so hard to be taken seriously.
The fights lack any excitement, physically or emotionally. There are a couple of fights where it felt like a constant back and forth with a punch, block, repeat.
After seeing the first six episodes, this is what I got: the sophomore season is in fact better than its original outing. The fight choreography has had a marked improvement and the flow is significantly more fluid and the cinematography feels smoother.
