I’m going to see this tonight, but for my money, if marvel was intent on getting into the kung fu aspect of their lore, I really would’ve rather them go with Iron Fist. Except to do it good, and right. Not like that hot garbage, steaming pile of crap that Netflix put out

Mandarin felt like the main character.


They should’ve started Shang-Chi narrative with the assassination assignment and it should’ve been 2008, where he missed his window/or changed his mind
….to kill Tony Stark. (Falsely blamed by evil Dad) then he goes into hiding.

The early CGI was weak, but I understand why the good money was used for later

Would’ve benefited from less green screen.

The Ten Rings essentially make Shang Chi a target.

Katy/Kathy? jokes were a little flat.

The good-
Bus fight scene. Wong.the tourney. The comedic chemistry between the leads.
Karaoke. The mystical creatures. Trevor Slattery.

Middle of the road Marvel. But if you’re an Asian pop culture fanboy you’re going to love it.

The Suicide Squad was better.

Just saw it. It was fine. The climactic fight is the same reason why Transformers movies are so lame though. The hell do I want to watch two CGI dinosaurs fight for? That shite does nothing for me.

Overall a good origin story, mid-tier Marvel movie.
