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.… Expand

Having conquered kingdoms and toppled governments, he begins searching for a mythical village known as Ta Lo, but is stopped by guardian Ying Li. The two fall in love Li chooses to leave with Wenwu him. Years later their son, now living in San-Francisco, is attacked by assassins and must head back to China to face his past.

Shang-Li features a plethora of exciting fight scenes, but right up to the cgi laden finale, it almost feels like Marvel are following a check-list with these movies now. The result is a watchable, but ultimately inessential movie.… Expand

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.

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.)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pretty good movie, nothing more nothing less.
Epic fights with a very good villain but...the protagonist lack of development.
Too much scenes without logic like "The father that punch the gate setting free monsters...without stopping because he don't look up his head to see that" or "Shang-chi that learn in 30 seconds with the aunt 2 moves and magically know how to control the Ten Rings".
The Ten Rings are the freakin title of the movie and are merely a weapon, not the key of something.
Besides all these errors that well, are common in the MCU, the movie is simply an entertaining fight, nothing more nothing less… Expand

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)… Expand

Ну скажу сразу, фильм детский. Ну вот скажем, чем занимаются взрослый мужик и женщина ночью в постели? Правильно! Поют в караоке. В фильме нет ни крови, ни ссадин. Бойцы похожи на резиновых болванчиков. Отскакивают ото всех поверхностей без малейшего вреда для себя.
Ну боёвка не плохая, если нравятся такие фильмы как "Дом летающих кинжалов", "Крадущийся тигр, затаившийся дракон" или подобные.
Сюжет фильма лично мне показался странным. Опуская подробности, сын предаёт отца ради совершенно незнакомых людей и нас хотят заставить этому сыну сочувствовать.
Теперь о так сказать наполнении фильма. Итак это буквально клон "Чёрной пантеры". Есть скрытая ото всего человечества "деревня" - типа Ваканда. В ней естественно имеются супертехнологии не доступные цивилизации. Даже подбор актёров как в той же Пантере, только вместо негров азиаты.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some of the biggest problems Marvel movies have is a devolution into a messy CG blobs for a climax (Black Widow being the most egregious) and the painfully short time periods all the character development and earth shattering problems get neatly resolved in, similarly to the first Thor it happens in about a week here. Another is the over use of CG, I understand it's a great time and money saver but when the sequences are heavily martial arts related it really takes me out of the artistry and choreography seeing 3D models of the actors and stunt performers spliced into scenes and contorting in uncanny valley ways. With that out of the way, it's a decent movie. I've always enjoyed the visual splendour and dramatic movements of wuxia so it's great it'll be seen by a wider audience that have probably had very little exposure to it. High quality practical fight sequences are something that Marvel movies are lacking in (the Netflix Daredevil is amazing) so before this The Winter Soldier scratched the fight itch best. The actors all did a good job on their own and the way they played off each other was enjoyable.… Expand

Related media: I have seen allThe 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.… Expand

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

This movie, and all the other MCU movies that have come out in 2021 so far, are such a clear downgrade from even Captain Marvel and Thor 2 that Marvel seems to think people will just keep watching them, no matter what bottom-of-the-barrel characters they make them for. If the quality of their Disney+ series are any indication (not including the disappointment that was Wandavision), Marvel knows it’s just a matter of time before they transition fully to a mini-series producer. They don’t even have any Avengers movies planned, much less any compelling characters to put in them. Their real Black Panther is dead, so now we have to settle for one of their made-for-movie characters in the lead; Captain Marvel and Black Widow were only ever just placating to social media to make up for their old executive’s anti-female-lead texts (and Black Widow is dead anyway); Guardians of the Galaxy can stand on their own, but even they don’t have anywhere to go after Endgame. So, what is the plan here? How long can Disney convince this new audience of trend-chasers to buy and overrate their products once their products are no longer trending on Twitter? The Multiverse already drove a bunch of the ORIGINAL fans away from the comics by exposing their inability to make up new characters, choosing instead to just plug different demographics into existing IPs; now they seem poised to carry that trend over into their movies. This movie is substandard, at best. It’s not the worst movie of the year, so if that is where they’ve lowered the bar, good for them. It looks to me like Marvel has decided to take the Transformers/Fast & Furious approach to movies by focusing on markets that have no interest in storylines and just want to see action scenes with generic hip hop beats/hard rock guitar soundtracks. Oh, I’m sorry, they switch over to more traditional-sounding Chinese folk music during the generic final battle. They still approach the battle like a Transformers/Fast & Furious battle: all the main characters happen to escape certain-death situations while all the background characters seem to die from even the simplest strikes. I’m sure that will help them achieve their bottom-line, especially if they can keep convincing certain groups that these movies are indicative of some sort of social victory; but those special groups will run out eventually. They will have to make a compelling movie again, at some point. The other problem with these movies, though, is that they have exposed their old movies for the formulas they were built out of, guaranteeing a diminishing effect on subsequent watches. Infinity War is fun to watch the first time; on second viewing, it is far less fun and you start to notice all the basic points that they have to hit (If I see one more character enter the scene and slowly look up to reveal their face, I’ll eat my own hands, simply just to keep myself from paying to watch another one of these movies). On third view, if not by the second, it’s actually pretty grating to sit through, aside from maybe the movies made about the core heroes that the original Avengers was built around. They have no real compelling stories, or really, any stories at all. These movies are made for Millennials (I am a Millennial, so I know firsthand) and Gen-Z, who are more interested in being involved in a trending topic than actually caring about what that topic may be. As long as they can take a selfie to show to everyone that they saw a popular movie before anyone else, that’s where they get their dopamine fix for the day. It’s all about those retweets, upvotes, and likes. Once these movies don’t achieve that, they’ll move on to the next Squid Game or meme that will get them those clicks. These movies are as vapid as the “fanbases” that pretend to care about them. Let that be a lesson to any creative, don’t throw your core fans under the bus so that Twitter will make you a trending topic. Topics come and go on Twitter and no one cares once that trend is over. And, for all of you that overrated this movie: your experience at the theater and the movie itself are TWO SEPERATE THINGS. Having fun watching a movie does not mean that movie is objectively good. If you don’t know how to critique something, just don’t.… Expand

Yes the films a little racist to white westerners but only as much as white western films have been towards Asians since day dot. Though its a shame to see the need for reverse racism at all but that is Disney's attempt to appeal to an extremely xenophobic nation.

Overall not bad but there is alot better out there in marvel universe and outside. Ironically despite the pandering it was banned in parts of China and hilariously criticised for being offensive because the western Chinese actors had the audacity to mention that their families 'fled communist China for a better free life'. That comment alone is apparently unacceptable to the Chinese state ministry so if it gets banned don't be surprised.

The cast is good though we are meant sympathise with a sexist, mass murderer and evil dictator (again propaganda). Their acting is fine with the stand out being awkwafina. Simu liu is ok but nothing special. Michelle yeoh is always excellent.
Sound and music is nothing special.

The martial arts is good but not jackie Chan good or as good as many actual Asian action films. The cgi is a really mixed bag sadly with some very lazy effects side by side with visually striking wonders.

Once you get past the Chinese propaganda, the western pandering to the Chinese government, the blatant product placement including a ten min bmw advert...Once you get past all that junk...there is a fun funny action packed movie to see.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 9
Acting: 9
Plot: 9

Similar to 2018’s Black Panther which featured an African superhero, Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings features an Asian supehero on the big screen for the twenty-fifth instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Originally slated to release during Chinese New Year, the movie was delayed until now due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Xu Shang-Chi (Liu) is a parking valet in San Francisco along with his best friend, Katy Chen (Awkwafina), whom they both lead an easy and carefree life. 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.… Expand

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.

Living a normal life, his world is turned upside down when the past he has left behind comes back to bite him. Not gonna lie, I wasn't hoping much from this movie considering how disappointing Phase 4 has been but to my surprise, this turned out to be the most entertaining entry in this Post-Infinity Saga so far, particularly because I didn't leave it filled with a layer of disappointment that gets worse the more you think about it. It's not groundbreaking or different from what the MCU has given us before, especially when it comes to origin stories. In fact, it feels very reminiscent of the earlier movies that came in this cinematic universe following a lot of the same formula, part of the reason I enjoyed it as it reminded me of the good ole days where I was genuinely hyped about the MCU and getting introduced to all these superheroes without having any solid comic-book reading history. It's the usual Marvel schtick with a different skin but with good enough execution in certain parts that you get a steady flow of entertainment and hardly any major frustrations, if at all, from the entire 130 mins runtime. What I enjoyed the most was the action sequences, which were predominantly hand-to-hand combat and weaponry based kung-fu. With good choreography and cinematography, fewer cuts, non-shaky cam, and the actors performing a lot of the combat themselves, it was thrilling. The accompanying soundtrack was nice too with a mix of modern and East Asian tracks that flowed well with the action. The story itself, while ending up with the usual end-of-the-world trope that so many superhero flicks have, wasn't bad either. It was cool to see this side of the world in this cinematic universe and not having a typical Human baddie was nice as well. However, the writing was still not particularly good as the movie sorely lacked urgency and stakes. There wasn't that OOOMPH that would have propelled this movie to higher tiers. It played safe and light with a lot of predictable elements so you just sorta experience the events which play out mostly how you'd expect. The dialogue could have been a lot better as well with the same story beats the movie employs and would have given characters a lot more depth where the emotional moments could have been hard-hitting. The titular character himself felt lacking in energy and charisma. I did like the overall ensemble and how it all came together in the end even if full of cliches. I was worried about Awkwafina's character Katie and that she'll be annoying for the rest of the movie but I was pleasantly surprised by her relationship with Shang-Chi played by Simu Lu, it was sweet. I'm glad the humour wasn't in your face throughout and took a backseat at certain points as MCU lately has developed a habit of injecting way too much of their brand of humour and it hasn't worked for me. Not saying the comedy here was great as some of it fell flat on its face but some of it did work. All in all, despite its problems, despite the movie playing it safe, despite it being predictable, I had fun. I do hope Simu Lu gives a stronger performance wherever his character shows up next because compared to other MCU heroes, Shang-Chi himself is among the lower end for me for now. If you like the MCU, then certainly give this a go. If nothing else, you'll probably enjoy the action. And if I were to rate it, I'd give it a 6.8/10.… Expand

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

98%AUDIENCE SCORE on Rotten Tomatoes??Talking about manipulated! This movie was just ok. Way over rated. Comparing it to End Game which was a 10/10. I give this around a 5/10 and that’s the truth. A weak Marvel movie. You will see.

Formulaic, generic, bland and just boring. Had a lot of potential and wasted all of it. Marvel phase 4 movies have been a disappointment so far.

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.

Superhero fatigue is real. Wish this movie had come out in Phase 1, would’ve had a way better impact. Fight scenes are incredible but it doesn’t save the poor story and bland acting.

A fun watch. Tons of action, heart and comedy. Alexandre Chen gives a great performance and Awkwafina was tolerable.

HANDS DOWN TO THE TEAM, ESPPECIALLY MARVEL! This is what we wanted, to see Marvel as an instrument for diversity. Can't wait for the other Asian Marvel films, or maybe even better!

Worst MCU film to date. Another attempt by Disney to cash in on the Asian market. Stupid story, worthless characters,but, There are funky China men from funky Chinatown.They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down.It's anWorst MCU film to date. Another attempt by Disney to cash in on the Asian market. Stupid story, worthless characters,but, There are funky China men from funky Chinatown.They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down.It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part.Except for Ben Kingsley Academy Award Best Actor(Gandhi)(1982). Everybody was kung-fu fighting Those cats were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightning!
What a piece of CRAP! It wasn't IronMan that killed the Avengers, it was the Russo brothers!… Expand

Starts off well but drifts into the same old boring marvel formula. Acting and plot are average, aswell as most action scenes.

Shang-Chi es sin duda la película solitaria más épica de Marvel Studios por ahora.
