Without Lee's charisma or guidance, the movie never sparks to life.

Reviews for Circle of Iron
Five years after his untimely death, Lee's vision project was finally made. Whether or not it's truely his vision, the world will never know. One thing is for sure though - this is one confusing, self indulgent and often tedious film.
By downplaying the physical and emphasizing the cerebral (or in some cases, the spiritual) Lee was looking to take the genre to another level. For that alone (Circle of Iron) is very important.
(The) total lack of unity, while seen as CIRCLE OF IRON's greatest liability, could also, however, be its biggest asset
