An enjoyable blend of wuxia, fantasy, and superhero movies. It’s pretty much the same structure as all other Marvel flicks with a slightly different taste. Shang-Chi lacks charisma but is well supported by the other cast members.
As usual with these films, the writing is outrageously bad. For example, the Ten Rings organization is supposed to be a lethal army that influenced the history of mankind for centuries, but when they come out, it’s literally a dozen people in a ninja suit. Their leader is introduced as a cruel man who lived for thousands of years, who owns infinite wisdom and godly powers, yet he is just an idiot who gets fooled by a phone fraud. Also, the film keeps pointing out that men and women should be equal, yet Shang-chi’s sister stays two ladders below the comic relief characters. I would pay a fortune to attend the screenwriter meetings for these films and see how they review the script.
