Nate H. reviewed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Review from the comment
Chinese epic meets Star Wars makes for a very interesting combo. And while Shang-Chi is pretty fun, it lacks in what I thought would be the obvious strongpoint: the fight scenes.
Maybe I was expecting too much in a Disney flick, but even the Netflix street level Marvel series like Daredevil and Iron Fist had better fight scenes. Shang-Chi's are not bad, in fact if you don't watch a lot of martial arts movies you will probably think they are pretty good. But in reality, Ten Rings borrows from a lot of movies and doesn't expand on anything it steals from fight scene wise.
My other big negative is there was a little too much cuteness for my liking with some of the creatures present here. But after that, everything is a big positive. The visuals are gorgeous in every aspect. Simu Liu and Awkwafina have a fantastic chemistry together and of course Tony Leung and Michele Yeoh kill it as usual. I will be interested in seeing what comes next.
