Review of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) by Marco34La — 04 Sep 2021

Another Marvel lackluster film. 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.
