For a character I hadn’t even heard about prior to the announcement of this movie (and I feel I’m far from alone here), Marvel Studios did incredibly well at introducing Shang-Chi’s background and origin story.

I thoroughly loved the fight scenes - they were choreographed wonderfully (especially the bus scene). The CGI was somewhat impressive too, with some utterly stunning scenic views.

Katy (who has my new favourite voice ever since seeing Raya & the Last Dragon) is possibly one of the funnest, funniest and brilliant sidekicks known to the MCU. Whilst in the grand scheme of saving worlds, she’s a fair bit useless, I will happily have her along for the ride.

With Bruce looking a bit grey, having a broken arm and being incredibly, well, human… this makes me think that we may we be viewing this from a different universe. I noticed a distinct lack of Doctor Strange. And Abomination was pally with Wong!? All things that don’t quite add up yet. That said, The Blip was still referenced a number of times. I suppose we will have to see what happens in the next Marvel Studios instalments.
