NPR - Mark Jenkins
Flashy and fun, and a nifty showcase for Yen.

The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
It's just too bad that Legend Of The Fist breaks up that action with long scenes of well-dressed men and women sitting around in nightclubs, talking politics.

Portland Oregonian - Shawn Levy
This isn't at the same level of quality as Yen's "Ip Man 2," which played earlier this year and was one of the best martial arts movies in a long time. But it is entertaining, even if it does ask you to suspend boatloads of disbelief.

Boxoffice Magazine - Steve Ramos
Pleasantly old fashioned, with plush period sets of '20s Shanghai and actual hand-to-hand combat.

Variety - Justin Chang
This superhero spin on a largely Eastern legend will appeal primarily to Asian genre aficionados on homevid.
