Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Movie Review


 Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Hit or Flop  

Shang chi may very well be the definition of mixed bag .
For me personally this movie delivered some of the most interesting and amazing work we've  seen in the MCU , But it also delivers some of the weakest.

It really is a case of two steps forward, and one step back.

Let me start with what I liked . 

Thematically this movie is a home run .

There are so many interesting ideas and concept that the movie plays with , and I really enjoyed watching them unfold. 

In particular, The file expertly examines the theme of family and does so under the very creative away . Also I really liked the majority of the performances .
Most notably SIMU LIU and Tony Leung as shang chi and the Mandarin Respectively .

Also , Credit where credit is due to its very apparent that this movie is trying to break the monotony and molo of being the "Typical Marvel Movie "  and I think it succeeds in doing so for a good portion of the runtime .

Finally the action is fantastic  and the Choreography Cannot be undersold, and the camera work is great . 

The Camera always  manages to be kinetic during the fights -Adding another dimension to the  action , But Not at the risk of making things difficult to watch .

Now onto the stuff I didn't like   .

Without going into spoilers , there are some characters and arcs that I just really didn't care for at all .
Personally I really didn't like awkwafina's  character . 

She just felt like the obligatory quirky friend and it felt like a rehash of the darcy from thor, 

Which is a character type I really don't like .  There is another character who I can't mention because of spoilers , but as much as I thought it would be interesting to see them they ended up really  overstaying their welcome . 

The middle of act of this movie is pretty awful . No exaggeration , I think it might be my least favorite section  of anything in the mcu . It's boring , overly expository uninteresting , and riddled with unnecessary humor . Its genuinely like a compilation  of all the things I complain mcu does , for about 30 minutes. 
Also , I wasn't  a huge fan of the finale . While the smaller scale moments were very grounded and emotionally impactful, this movie falls into the cliché of having a big CGI- fest that I was just not even remotely interested in .

Overall this movie is at its best when it focuses on the very personal struggles and journey's of its 2 main characters . 
We've  seen the mcu how ever . Unnecessary humor , shaky writing , and poor pacing really bog this movie down just as its starting to take off .


So I would rate this movie 6 out of 10 .
