Wasn't that bad. But the humor is atrocious. The fighting scenes were good overall. Not very good performances from anyone. Bringing mandarin back is so stupid.

One of the worst movies in Marvel's history. The script is bad and the protagonist boring. The title of the movie doesn't make any sense. It is unfair that only because of being a Marvel movie is an economic success.

It's a movie that is as equally unoriginal as Captain Marvel. It has a predictable story, Weak looking fight scenes with awful CG, and it does absolutely nothing to set up a sequel. I fell asleep multiple times watching this.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually appealing but this is easily the weakest entry for the MCU to date. This movie has literally no plot! Two hours of utter nonsense with no sense of urgency or real threat. The mains character's best friend is unfortunately present for the entire film, I found this actress to be incredibly annoying. Go figure she ends up saving the day during the film's climax with her complete lack of skill... yea I didn't see that coming in the first 10mins of the movie. So predictable!

The choreography is OK, I've seen better in film's with a much smaller budget.

The powers of the 10 rings seem weak compared to the comics origins. This makes the antagonist feel laughable in parts where he's meant to be perceived as a threat. This film is a perfect example of why fans are losing faith in the MCU.… Expand

Marvel movies have had a lot of setbacks recently. Shang Chi has a confusing and meaningless story.

I don't mean to come down on this movie so hard but damn I did not like Simu Liu at all, and he's the protagonist. I'm not even sure he's a bad actor, but he doesn't have the charisma to carry this kind of featherweight material.I don't mean to come down on this movie so hard but damn I did not like Simu Liu at all, and he's the protagonist. I'm not even sure he's a bad actor, but he doesn't have the charisma to carry this kind of featherweight material. Admittedly, he's great in the fight scenes but you can watch those as clips be cause the context is pointless.

That's the biggest problem with this movie, it just feels pointless from the start. The story isn't gonna wow anybody above the age of 12 and the protagonists isn't gonna be relatable except to small boys as "cool looking fighting guy".

Probably an okay rental for a wicked hangover.… Expand

This movie was absolutely horrible I honestly have no clue what the hype is. Almost every scene is predictable and the main characters are super annoying. Seriously, marvels future is bleak if this is what’s to come.

anyways, the movie was best reviewed by critical drinker - it could have been good but at every possible turn where they could have made it better or worse they chose worse. writing is terrible. its being review pumped right now as well - its so overrated everywhere they must have the scripts running overtime and paid a band of sycophants to show up in force.… Expand

Half of my theater walked out in the first hour. I hope they don't kill Marvel studios.
The reviews I read puffing it make me think they were paid for. No one in my or my daughters circles enjoyed it one bit.

Nothing memorable here at all. Boring as it gets. The first scene was the best part of the movie, after that, slow and monotonous with bland characters.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really excited to see this film based on the incredible movie trailer for it that I saw. It looked visually stunning and action packed… so much that I insisted to my wife that we see this in the theatre. We have not been out to see a film in the theatre for over 2 years, and I was convinced this would be completely amazing, and had to be seen on the big screen… so we went to see it on our wedding anniversary. I have never been let down by a Marvel film before, so it seemed like the perfect choice to reboot our movie theatre experience. It started out promising… had some great landscape shots and early fight scenes that were awesome… but then the next 30-45 minutes or so, all they did was talk and talk… back story, more back story and then for absolutely no reason, Ben Kingsley showed up to strangely enough reprise his character from Iron Man 3 - well, I guess the reason is that there would have been no other way to link him to the Marvel universe so they had to throw someone in there and make it seem witty, but I was getting pretty irritated at that point from the lack of any action that was shown jam-packed in the trailer… I understand the entire film can’t be wall-to-wall action, but please, don’t bore me to death with over a half hour of these people talking about stuff when they could be DOING stuff as well. They were just standing around talking about the past and then talked about it some more and then a bunch of lackluster stupid jokes … and THEN I couldn’t take it any longer… after the short fight scene with the father in the restaurant during the second half of the film, we got up and walked out after another 10 minutes of complete boredom - and in my entire life, I have only walked out on one other film in the theatre. The editor must have been really attached to some of this footage of everyone standing around talking, cause a good half hour could have been cut out of the film to help the pace move along quite a bit faster. In all honesty, the film really should be at 2 or 2-1/2 stars, but for some strange reason people are over-glorifying this film like it’s some rare treasure. Maybe because they blindly follow and put too much faith in Marvel… or perhaps because it’s the first true martial arts film in the Marvel universe… who truly knows… it’s the same as when people tried to defend the horrible 7-8-9 episodes of Star Wars, which were all utter garbage, but people felt compelled to stick with questionable positivity… so I in turn felt compelled to give this film a zero to help knock it down to where it should be so nobody else gets fooled walking into it. If you have seen the trailer already, leave it at that - and just wait until Disney Plus, Netflix or Redbox offers it… and have your remote ready with your finger close to the fast forward button, because you are definitely going to need it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring and painfully generic. Main character is everyman jackiechan type with zero personality. Its almost a copy paste black panther for chinese. The bus sequence is kinda fine and then it goes down hill into a hackneyed you can see it a mile a way family drama and turns into cgi wuxia crap by the end. Also disney inserted a plushie type character. Ugh. ben kingsley was by far the most interesting character in the movie everybody else is pretty stock. Abomination shows up but they dont do anything in with him.Made me rewatch og movies like the original Mortal Kombat and Big trouble in little china.… Expand

With a title like "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" you would think you would have a pretty good grasp of who Shang-Chi is and what the Ten Rings are. By the time the superfluous post-credits roll, you know virtually nothing about either of these things. Shang-chi is a bland, boring, cardboard cut-out of a character who knows a little bit of martial arts. The Ten Rings are ten rings that do power stuff and make you immortal. Where do they come from? What is their power? Why do they make you immortal? How did Shang-Chi's father acquire them? All these pivotal questions are unanswered and honestly by the end of the movie, I don't really care anyway. The best action that you would expect from an advertised as "martial arts movie" is in the first 30 mins. The bus scene was well done, despite at times coming off as clunky. It just made me want to see more and more impressive fight sequences. With the exception of 2-3 moments not long after, you won't see any more martial arts again. The movie proceeds to drag at a snail's paces for another 1.5 hours. Halfway through the film, for the first time ever, I checked the time to see how much more I had to endure. Shang-Chi's father and sister are confusing. Flip-flopping from wanting family togetherness to loathing everyone in the room with virtually no reason as to why. Best part of this movie was Awkwafina's Katy who was the ONLY character to have some semblance of a "Hero's Journey". Shang-Chi was not just a passenger in his own vehicle, he was virtually left behind to blend into the background. With the consistency of Disney/Marvel's subpar offerings beginning with WandaVision onward, I would either wait for this movie to be available for free (if you MUST watch it) or go back and watch the Infinity Saga over again for a much more enjoyable experience. The MCU died with Tony and Steve, it seems at this point like Disney is far too desperate to say goodbye when they had the chance.… Expand

Other than having an all Asian cast, which is mostly put to waste on over-americanized script, there is nothing inspiring about this film. It's as if Marvel uses a cookie cutter for its scripts with the obligatory goofy comic moments and earnest back-stories to try to please everyone. The only thing it does is make for incoherent film making. The movie had moments and perhaps if were edited down it would have made one mediocre episode in a TV series, but instead, it goes on and on for over 2hrs 15mins where it devolves as the minutes go by, ending with a silly over-the-top ending with dragons that look more like rainbow unicorn toys than anything mythical. This is NO Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon -- nor does it compare to 2017's Wonder Woman. With not much else being release - if you have nothing better to do, then sure go see it. Someone needs to talk to Marvel's VFX Supervisor. Good grief - the character animations were dreadful.… Expand

Great fight sequences won't make this movie less boring. It really has it's moments but it also sunks into the WTF territory and slow pace of scenes bridging movie acts, makes it hard to watch. Trevor from Iron Man 3 returns as an unfanny companion to the main characters. Marvel took some lessons from Monsterverse movies and this time as a subplot we have two mystical mythological creatures representing chaos and order (or good and evil) entagled in fight against each other. No Shou-Lao or Fing Fang Foom references anywhere. Also... Mandarin is a chicken stew. The most developed character is Shang Chi's father. The worst and out of everything is the Razor Fist, turned into some bulky mindless drone. The story is more straight than Zuckerberg's confused reptilian face, reassembling the plot of LOTR movies... go from point A to B. Overall... not a good flick FOR ME. Also Kevin Feige started damage control weeks ago before the movie premiered, now I know why.… Expand

A missmatch of ideas that make zero sense sprinkled with a large amount of woke and pandering to the chinese market that will never see this movie.
Combine that all together and you get this movie. Avoid like the plague.

The usual boring cliched story with no depth. It's all exponentially downhill after the bus fight which was one of the two good things in the movie along with the mandarin character. Visual effects were good and unnecessarily exaggerated at times.

It felt like the whole movie was hollow, characters forgettable, sound design was awful and by deities whose names have long been forgotten by time fight scenes felt just yawn inducing and stolen from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or Kung Fu Hustle. The story wasn't that much better, things just happened and characters were just there in the scenes. Then the randomly changing the dialogue language from English to no idea, maybe Mandarin? Just keep it with one after leaving to China, don't just randomly go from English to Mandarin.
I do hope this isn't a glimpse to the future of MCU because it won't last much longer if this level of movie becomes the norm. But hey, they managed to make Thor better after 2 failures so there is a chance.
Maybe next time.… Expand
