Review of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) by Miccael — 13 Sep 2021
As a standalone movie, this is great introductionaty MARVEL movie.
But this does not mean movie has no problems. The pacing wasn't that great, The "villain" is not really a villain, he is also not a good guy, although movie tries to show the good in him. His motives can be relatable, I get that, but the actual villain of the movie is quite generic.
What I can give kudos to this movie is that they managed to stay away from shoehorning other MARVEL heroes and rely on them to promote this movie or be a partial reason to see it (SpiderMan Homecoming as an example). Martial arts parts are great! But then....they are turned into CGI-fight. Movie needed more martial arts and less specticle. I feel like there are a bit too many characters here...and not enough time for all. Second half is a bit...well, more MARVEL and less Shang-Chi / Martial arts. That is a bummer, I wish I saw more action and less CGI.
But it was enjoyable, jokes worked and definitely looking forward to more.
