Yeah it looks like Iron Fist director is on this rather than Daredevil one or whatever. People on GAF are pissed too. I think its due to cost cutting. Quality dropped big time during Iron Fist itself. That show was terrible.

Its the same in episode 2 too. Who the f**k directed this? How can there be a camera angle that is tilted? Whats the fun in changing cameras in fast cuts? These f**kers need to get fired for ruining action scenes.
Seconded.. not just crappy Camera angels but the story so far has been really boring.. barring daredevil arc I don't give a damn about anyone else. I hope later episodes are better.

so am I the only one who liked iron fist ?  Yet to complete the season finale, but so far it has been good.  Didn't find it boring at-least !  They could've used better actors though, none apart from colleen wing look convincing !

Yes you are the only one I know. It was terrible, I couldn't watch past 2nd episode. Even the GAF topic for Defenders has this title:

 

Marvel's The Defenders |OT| Featuring The Worst Iron Fist - August 18th on Netflix

I thought it was average.Definitely not as good as Daredevil or Jessica Jones.
 
That I agree, it's pretty average stuff, but it's not unwatchable like arrow.

If I've to compare nf shows, I enjoyed Luke cage more than jj, the hip hop soundtracks were terrific ! Daredevil takes the top spot though, that show really set high standards for tv superhero shows.

lol I am a marvel fanboy and even I haven't watched Iron Fist coz of bad reviews. Makes me wonder just how bad arrow, flash and other DC crap is :lol: 

 

I think arrow/flash are more on the cheesy/campy side of things, where as NF superhero shows are more nolan-esque - dark and brooding.

 

Problem with iron fist is, the casting is way off and most of the actors look unconvincing in their roles.  There's little to no character development for danny or colleen wing. The villains are not introduced properly and their motivations might seem shallow.  Also, it doesn't help when they keep recycling the same Madam Gao, nurse Claire in every damn show. 

 

So - why watch it ? Well, if you watch it as just another action-adventure TV show, which is what I did, I think one might find it to be quite a decent show.  There's still colleen wing who's good (I think she will soon spillover to other NF shows like defenders and luke cage) and some of the martial arts fight scenes are choreographed quite well. Especially I liked the ones where danny fights the drunken master at the factory entrance and the fights where he challenges "the hand" in madam gao's lair.  Overall , yeah, like I said before, it might be pretty average, but I found it to be still better than arrow/flash :P

 

Now, coming to arrow/flash - the first 1-2 seasons were good.  It was cheesy but still entertaining.  But then, it became one big romantic/family/soap opera style with the lead actors becoming some kind of emotional train-wrecks with too many romantic/family subplots, which is when I stopped watching !
