This film is so bad, i don't know where to start! It's just scene after scene of pointless dialogue. I've just finished watching the film and I couldn't tell you what it's about! This film should be offered by doctors on prescription for people that have trouble sleeping. Just pop this baby into your DVD player and you'll be in nod nod land in no time. If this film is worthy of an award then it should be for curing sleep deprivation. This film proves that even with an amazing cast of talented actors, acting their behinds off, you need some sort of semblance of a plot. Whoever wrote this, clearly just recorded a few conversations over the garden fence that his drunk neighbour was having in his garden and thought 'Yep, that'll do' When my baby son is older, I will use this film as a punishment for when he's naughty. I won't be grounding him or taking away pocket money, I will make him sit and watch Fences. I can guarantee after being punished once by me with this, he will never be naughty again.

The problem that I had with this series is that the main character wasn't believable or particularly likable. I don't care what his ethnicity is, but I firmly believe that if you're going to cast someone as a kung-fu master, he should be able to do kung-fu! The fight scenes in this were shockingly bad.

Also the character of Colleen was badly cast. Again, this character is supposed to be a sensei but she's not very good at Kung-fu!! I think the basic principle when casting someone in a martial arts show is that they can perform martial arts!

The good. Madame Gao. Brilliant! I can't fault her, she stole every scene that she was in and I actually found myself rooting for her to win, that's how bad the Iron Fist character was. Also, the Meachems - they were all great.

In all honesty, I'd love it if they just recast Danny Rand for the Defenders series and replace him with someone that knows martial arts, as he'll clearly just drag the series down (but that probably won't happen)

It's definitely the weakest Marvel series so far. The writing wasn't amazing but I believe with better casting it could have been so much better.

I like the taken films and I like Clive Standen - this was enough for me to watch this series. The pilot was OK, not brilliant but it showed promise - then episode 2 happened...it was rubbish. In all honesty i fell asleep 3 quarters of the way through, waiting for it to get good. According to my wife,who stayed awake (barely) it didn't. She then self tortured herself by watching episode 3 which i hear was just as rubbish. Needless to say we're done with it already! Stick with vikings Clive, you're better than this.
