Think some of the best fight choreography seen in House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and add in a layer of Marvel modernism and you’ve got what the Shang-Chi team has delivered. Read more

I was wildly entertained throughout. Bring on Phase Four.

The film has a surprisingly complex antagonist, well-choreographed action fight scenes, heart and humor thanks to the committed performances from Awkwafina, Liu, and Leung, and excellent mythical and fantastical surprises along the way that keep you on your toes. Read more

This is the best Marvel has done in quite some time. Not only was all the action thrilling but it was funny without coming off as forced. Read more

I loved that the fights were all important and not just tossed in to provide gratuitous gratification. And the fight choreography was on par with classic Martial Arts movies. There was a kind of balance to each one. Read more

An excellent entry into the MCU with great characters, strong performances, impressive worldbuilding and engaging themes. Shang-Chi is a great character wonderfully played by Simu Liu with a familiar yet engaging character arc around him finding purpose and wrestling with parental expectation. Read more

A new phase for the Marvel Cinematic Universe is heralded by a fun new hero, a strong villain, an exciting film and a hell of a lot of cool action. Read more

A plucked indie director, a strict critical darling heavyweight crossing the Pacific after decades to make his Hollywood debut, a raucous comedienne dialing it down, and a host of fresh faces, including a charismatic lead, came together to adapt a very non-household comic book property with all the winking wuxia love in the world. The result is a fully realized success. Read more

As the film progresses, it’s not Shang-Chi and the various supporting characters that are unamusing, nor is it the ludicrous action shots or the vehicle chases overloaded with computer imagery; it’s the legend of the ten rings, brimming with meaningless, devised-on-the-spot lore, that really bores.

From a filmmaking perspective, it was hard for me not to think that this was just doing a serviceable job of what many wuxia films have done better. Read more

With every beat of the story feeling like an intense relapse of forced tension, the film becomes stupefyingly excessive in its last third, making the big Asian stars Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh seem like puppets. Unfortunately, and despite the charisma of its first Asian lead, this Marvel adventure is less cool than it thinks it is. Read more

Over het algemeen is dit niet Marvel's slechtste of beste werk, maar een aangename middenweg. Een bovengemiddelde Marvel die doet wat hij moet doen en positief opvalt dankzij de Aziatische invloed. Read more

Marvel-film volgens het boekje, maar ook niet meer dan dat. Read more
