Some of the best, craziest and wild action scenes, I have ever seen and the return of Trevor, Yay! The acting is amazing but the movie is let down by its cliche plot.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Shang-Chi y la Leyenda de los Diez Anillos, dirigida por Destin Daniel Cretton, es una emocionante y gratificante adición al Universo Cinematográfico de Marvel. Con escenas de acción maravillosamente coreografiadas y efectos especiales impresionantes, la película nos sumerge en un mundo de artes marciales y mitología, cautivando nuestros sentidos desde el primer momento.

Una de las mayores fortalezas de Shang-Chi radica en sus escenas de acción perfectamente coreografiadas. Cada combate y cada secuencia de lucha se siente fluida y visualmente impresionante. Los movimientos ágiles y precisos de los actores, combinados con el ingenio y la variedad de las coreografías, hacen que las escenas de acción sean un verdadero deleite para los amantes de las artes marciales y los fanáticos de la acción. La película equilibra hábilmente la intensidad de los enfrentamientos con momentos de humor y emotividad, lo que resulta en una experiencia emocionante y gratificante.

Además de las impresionantes escenas de acción, Shang-Chi también nos deslumbra con sus efectos especiales. Las secuencias que involucran los poderes de los personajes, la creación de mundos místicos y los combates espectaculares están meticulosamente diseñadas y ejecutadas. Los efectos visuales son asombrosos, creando un sentido de maravilla y transportando al espectador a un universo vibrante y lleno de magia. La atención al detalle en los efectos especiales se refleja en cada fotograma, lo que contribuye a la inmersión total en la historia.

Más allá de su excelencia técnica, Shang-Chi ofrece una historia sólida y personajes memorables. La película explora temas de identidad, familia y destino, añadiendo una capa adicional de profundidad a la narrativa. El protagonista, interpretado por Simu Liu, es carismático y creíble en el papel, transmitiendo una combinación de fuerza y vulnerabilidad que conecta con el público. El elenco de apoyo, incluyendo a Awkwafina y Tony Leung, también aporta solidez y complejidad a la trama.

Aunque Shang-Chi brilla en muchos aspectos, algunas partes de la película pueden sentirse un tanto apresuradas en términos de desarrollo de personajes y resolución de conflictos. Algunos elementos de la historia podrían haberse expandido o explorado más a fondo para mejorar la cohesión general. Sin embargo, estos puntos no afectan significativamente la experiencia en general y no disminuyen el impacto emocional de la película.

En resumen, Shang-Chi y la Leyenda de los Diez Anillos es una obra maestra visual que combina escenas de acción gratamente coreografiadas con efectos especiales impresionantes. La película es una prueba del compromiso de Marvel con la innovación y la diversidad en su universo cinematográfico. Con una narrativa sólida y personajes memorables, Shang-Chi nos lleva a un viaje emocionante y nos sumerge en un mundo de maravillas y artes marciales. Es una experiencia que cautiva y deja al público ansioso por más aventuras del héroe titular.

Definitely one of the better Phase 4 movies, along with Spider man. Despite some dodgy CGI here and there the story was heartfelt and the none CG visuals were great. Also nice to have an Asian protagonist in the MCU.

The story was very solid throughout the film, except for the final confrontation where random CGI dragons fight for no good reason after the main conflict has already been solved.

Both exciting and occasionally pretty funny, something I can’t say about Black Widow. Which didn’t leave much of an impression on me.
The bus fight made me think of Jackie Chan which is a good thing since his fights were always fun. When this film starts to turn into a fantasy with mystical creatures it got a little silly but was still entertaining.
Besides if there can be aliens, talking raccoons, wizards and gods. Marvel can introduce anything else they want to.

This is a great origin story with a better villain. The characters are likable the fighting scenes are some of the best in the mcu. It loses points for some misplaced humor but other than that I loved it.

Visuals are veryVisually stunning and profoundly entertaining. Shangchi and the Legend of the ten rings works with a formulaic plot, but this is brought to life with a very distinct and I daresay one of the best cinematography from Marvel. Visuals are very colourful and well-done, same as its locations and costumes; it also boasts one of the best Marvel fight scenes and choreography (I personally think the best). There is also a balance between the funnier first half and the more serious tone of its second half. The final act is grand and the CGI is beautiful to watch.

The only misses this movie has are in how the ten rings (the organisation) is portrayed (we don't really see the impact the organisation holds), and the scale of the number of people involved in the battle between Ta Lo and The ten rings is also not well-done (it's too small.)

I loved this movie! Everything that came from Marvel in this phase apart from this movie has been hot garbage. I don't know if comparing it to anything before it will do justice to it.
The music was amazing, and the cinematography was amazing. The story was great and the characters for once felt like characters. The jokes often fall flat, but well we can look over that. Action is enough to keep you wanting for more and all characters are worth rooting for. Sadly marvel's movies don't feel like movies anymore, but this movie is something I can go back to. All major characters have their own things going on. There is development, conversations about their ideas, and their own battles to fight and win.
Compare this to any of older MCU movies, well I'd give it a 7/10. I still love the cinematography and music, the story falls kind of flat when they stick to their known marvel formula. It's redundant but at the same time new. Within Phase 4, this is the ONLY movie I'd suggest watching. (Spider man was only good because of the nostalgia trap)

Particular of an area of deja vu. We can say that it is aimed at the Asian market that Marvel tries to conquer with difficulty. The fight scenes are reminiscent of Jackie Chan's and I really like the one on a bus. For the rest pleasant but not transcendent.

Related media: I have seen all
The short review: First half great, final quarter ends up being the cliche Chinese mythological story-line that non-Chinese writers often write, but both writers are actually half-Asians! Shame! Shame! Shame!

Related media: I have seen all of the MCU films. The previous film, Black Widow, was disappointing throughout the film.

What's it like? The son of an immortal warlord escapes from his father to live in San Fran, but is then forced to go back to help his father to open a gate that supposedly holds captive the son's mother, who was supposed to have died over a decade ago.

Mid- or post-credit scenes: One mid- and one post-credit scene.

Positives: 1) There are many, many good physical fight scenes in the first half of this film.

2) As with other MCU films, there are a lot of effective funny jokes here, thus making this a fun film. (Black Widow was not a fun film.)


Negatives:

1) A cliche creature of Chinese mythology appeared in the final quarter that should not have been included in an MCU film, as MCU films have always been leaning towards science rather than mythology (apart from those concerning Thor, but these have been canon in the comics for a long time). The appearance of the creature and/or how it was portrayed just dumb down what could have been a good film. 2) The good physical fight scenes in the first half of the film completely disappear in the second half to be replaced with nonsense and CGI fight scenes. 3) No explanation was provided on how The Mandarin and his goons successfully navigated the enchanted forest to find the secret village. They should not have been successful. 4) The Mandarin's existence does not make sense. His base in a very mountainous region, and the presence of cars and roads leading to his base, does not make sense. Why is there no film on The Mandarin? How would the different age groups rate it? Children: Not rated for children.

Teens: Good.

Young adults: Good.

Medium age adults: Good. Old adults: Average. My rating: 4/5 (no half scores). Worth it to watch it in the cinema.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the first Marvel movie to star an asian superhero, i was really hyped for this film. Pretty good overall, but i feel let down by the ending. The whole USP of Shang-Chi is martial arts, so when the Director chooses to have the climax of the whole film be basically 2 giant CGI dragons battling each other, i feel this was a giant mistake. It's like watching Star Wars, only to find out that the ending turns into a dance contest. We watch Shang-Chi for the Martial Arts, so freakin GIVE US Martial Arts!!! Expand

The way camera follows action, rotates in sync with the movement etc I love it. Family drama was good and most characters were believable. The only issue I have is with Awkwafina’s character. It has to be the most unnecessary character ever. Literally added so that when protagonist is going through a stressful situation we could get a silly shot of Awkwafina showing Shang thumbs up. If you would cut her from the movie nothing would change at all. Not only that but it takes away a much-needed spotlight from Xialing. All those heartfelt conversations that Shang had with Katy he needed to have with his sister instead who had an important role to play in pushing the story forward. Marvel once again proves they’re not able to abandon silly jokes in favor of stronger narrative. Expand

Shang-Chi’s life got change when he and Katy are attack by members of the Ten Rings where he reveals his fighting skills in the process. However, the Ten Rings are able to grab his emerald pendant which is what they came for all along. With his pendant stolen, Shang-Chi along with Katy travel to a certain place in Macau using the postcard that were sent to him prior.

During their travel, Shang-Chi reveal his past to Katy. He is the son of Xu Wenwu (Leung), the real Mandarin, who trained him as an assassin for years and he fled to the San Francisco during one of his mission. When they arrive to their destination, the place turns out to be an illegal underground fighting club run by his sister, Xu Xialing, who also fled from their father. However, she deny sending the postcard to Shang-Chi and they are ambush by the Ten Rings who come for the other emerald pendant in the hands of Xialing. Despite their best efforts, they get capture by the Ten Rings and brought before to their father who wants their emerald pendants for something.

Just like Black Panther done with the portrayal of African culture, the movie has done a great job in the portrayal of Asian culture. Asian audience will definitely find it relatable like myself. Even better is Mandarin language was used in 1/3 of the movie to make it feel more of an Asian superhero movie. The casting of Asian actors are very well done and they all gave the best performance. Simu Liu and Tony Leung are the best performers in the whole movie. Their on-screen relationship between father and son are really heartwarming despite their opposing roles and both of their characters are well written. The fighting scenes are very well shot and with this movie being as Asian superhero movie, you will get the feeling that this movie is like a martial arts movie.

I also like how the movie made some references to 2013’s Iron Man 3 and how the events in that movie affect this one. This movie also redeem the Mandarin into a better character after the infamous plot twist in that movie. One of the character from that movie, which I will not say who, also appeared in this movie and gets a character developement as well. Although the plot of the movie is like other MCU non-origins solo movies, the story is still interesting and heartwarming at the same time. The story is not complicated to follow but I would recommend to watch Iron Man 3 first to understand about the Mandarin and how it lead into this movie.

There is no doubt that is one of best movie in the MCU to date and I hope to see Shang-Chi again on the big screen either in another solo movies or team-up movies. I could say that his movie and future ones will turn Shang-Chi into a household name like Black Panther. Remember to stay back for a mid-credits scene and a post credits scene which is most likely a setup for future movies in the franchise.

Shang Chi and the legend of the ten rings is a fantastic origin movie, with on spot impressive visual effects, acting, pacing and characters. The story was fun to get along with, and the characters were very likeable. I'd say this did a better job than most Marvel solo origin films this time and I'm actually impressed by the character of Shang-Chi without prior knowledge and based solely on this adaptation! A fun weekend watch and memorable experience! Expand

As such, I approachAs an Asian descent, I grew up watching Wu Xia films of all kinds. Tsui Hark, John Woo, and eventually, Zhang Yimou were great influences for me as well as their respective stars, be it Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Donnie Yen. As such, I approach Shang-Chi with great expectations, especially in lieu of some really glowing reviews. However, what I saw was simply a 'great facsimile' of these great film makers. On one hand, it is so obvious that Disney is really, really pining for the Asian market, especially for the Middle Kingdom. Mulan, Raya..and now Shang Chi were aggressive plays to get into this market. However, I can firmly conclude that such efforts backfired. For one, Asian film makers have grown sophisticated and utilized techniques that Hollywood has employed for ages. And of course, there is a policy by the Middle Kingdom itself: you can display Western movies, but if you make Chinese films made by Westerners and with so called 'Western values', we would look at them with great scrutiny. Shang-Chi obviously plays more to an Asian American sensibility, of going back to your roots after emigrating to a different country and become a 'foreigner' yourself. However, it rings hollow to people who have remained in these countries. And for crying out loud, I have no offense against Simu Liu who seems to be a great guy, but if you are casting Tony Leung as his father, one of the greats of Asian cinema, he is simply outclassed immensely. Kudos for giving what is essentially a comedic relief role to Awkafina, who is a great comedian by the way but in no way a good 'leading lady' for this kind of flick. These factors alone and that sense of being derivative of the so called 'greats' diminished my enjoyment of this film immensely. Since it is not available 'free' with your Disney plus, it is a pretty good watch. But in comparison to the great 'Phase 4 shows' available now on the service, Shang Chi is inferior to those efforts.

Solid popcorn movie that didn't give me any of the feels.

Pros- Solid fights and stunts. Solid performance including ALL Chinese talent acting in their non-mother language. Even Awkwafina had a good performance. She was out of her league compared to the other actors but kept up.

Cons- The lead actors put a sour taste in my mouth before seeing the movie. Simu Liu with his talk about Hollywood hating Asians and Awkwafina vowing never to do an Asian accent in her performances but okay doing "ghetto" accents. Fortunately, I quickly forgot about that thanks to their performances.

For most of this movie, our leads were passively reactionary. No clear, strong goals. Also, they never had to overcome character flaws. Boring characters with very charming performances. The climax was spoiled by our lead discovering his "power" by defining his self-worth in a vague way that I still can't explain.

Ele foi interessante e divertido de assistir, mas isso não quer dizer que tenha sido tão bom assim. Em termos de origem, é de longe uma das melhores performances da empresa. O filme nos apresenta os personagens de forma que nos faça criar um certo carinho por eles no decorrer do filme. O problema principal do filme é a desconexão acelerada a partir da metade dele. Tudo começa a ser ainda mais rápido para que a conclusão chegue logo. A sensação que ele transmite ao acabar é que você queria mais tempo de tela com menos velocidade para o maior desenvolvimento da lenda maravilhosa que o filme nos mostra desde o começo.

En-US: It's been a long time since I've seen fight choreographies so well done in a movie. It was interesting and fun to watch, but that's not to say it was that good. In terms of origin, it is by far one of the company's best performers. The film introduces the characters to us in a way that makes us develop a certain affection for them throughout the film. The main problem with the movie is the accelerated disconnection from the middle of it. Everything starts to be even faster so that the conclusion comes soon. The feeling he has at the end is that you wanted more screen time with less speed for the further development of the wonderful legend that the film has shown us since the beginning.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The fight choreography alone makes this movie a must-see for any kung-fu movie lover. The references, actors, and costumes, made me nostalgic to watch some Crouching Tiger. My only real complaint would be how formulaic the story felt. I thought they did a wonderful job fleshing out Xu Wenwu and creating a motive that felt worthy of his actions. However, it still followed a relatively typical Marvel trope of "Guy who must defeat his father figure in order to become a superhero". Visually the ending was stunning, the fight between the eldritch horror and the dragon was nothing short of epic. The music and sound design felt really good and balanced well in the theater. Expand

Been watching a lot of Marvel lately with my partner to help her catch up with the rest of us in the MCU, and this was the most recent piece of the MCU so a little burned out but still had a good time with this one.

Visually it is stunning, one of the most beautiful Marvel movies with a lot of interesting stuff to come in the later half.

Shang-Chi as a character is all good, he is likable and an absolute badass when it comes to fighting, he just didn't hook me all that much. Didn't feel like he had a whole lot to him that I really latched onto, but not bad either, I look forward to seeing more of him in the MCU so he can be expanded on further. A quick comment about the character Katy but I am not a huge fan of her, a lot of what she says is just cringeworthy jokes that really don't land in my opinion, its not that I didn't like her, I just felt a lot of what she said when it came to the humour side was not landing at all for me.

The story I am overall happy with, it is the same type of Marvel Superhero Origin story you'd be accustom too, a coming of age story basically which isn't a bad thing, follows this format because it works, it was just a very easy story to follow and enjoy.

The fight scenes were some of the best you will see in a Marvel movie, some long takes that are just so impressive to watch and very limited shaky cam, the choreography is amazing so its great we don't have to deal with cuts in the shot or shaky cam.

The music was composed by Joel P West who I had not heard of until after watching this movie, not familiar with his work but I absolutely loved the score to this film, it is easily one of my favourite parts (tied with the visuals and combat).

Final thoughts - I mean if you want to keep up with the MCU then you will watch this movie anyway, but I think most people won't have their expectations too high for this one, but will be pleasantly surprised if they decide to watch it.
