Charles Solomon

Los Angeles Times

Simultaneously overblown and underdeveloped, "Iceman" fails equally at showcasing the talent of its star and resolving its baroque plot.

Andy Webster

New York Times

The delirious blend of over-the-top wire work and comedy recalls the To classic "The Heroic Trio," and a sense of brash, goofy invention prevails.

Village Voice

The story is unnecessarily muddled and confusing in the telling, and the athletically gifted Yen is overshadowed by largely mediocre CGI effects. Revisit the original instead.

Radio Times

The jarring shifts between puerile fart gags and scenes of torture are seriously misjudged, and the ambitious action finale leans too heavily on CGI to generate any real excitement.

Rated: 2/5

The Straits Times (Singapore)

Hopefully, the second instalment of this two-parter film, slated for release later this year, has got the puerile humour out of its system to focus on only the action.

Rated: 2.5/5

Screen-Space

Law's lame-brained concoction aims to be, in equal parts, a martial-arts opus, low-brow crowd-pleaser and mystical history lesson; what emerges is an often incomprehensible mash-up that plays murky, amateurish and puerile.

While not as bad as critics say it goes through the fish out of water motions but Donnie Yen (The Lost Bladesman, Seven Swords) is always a fun lead

A good movie. Not the best, but if you want a movie with good fights and good effects and are not worried about an unresolved plot, then this movie will not disappoint.

Its over-the-top silliness and, otherwise, absurdity overshadows the already ridiculous plot, but having in mind that the film's intentions are never to take itself seriously, and deliver the right dose of action and fight sequences, we can easily tolerate the cartoonish characters and poor writing, but in the movie's defense, there is enough to enjoy, from the stylish props and the always enjoyable presence of Donnie Yen, who's perfectly self aware the kind of project this was meant to be.
