This was almost a near perfect Marvel movie, because it was almost a fine standalone flick, but they had to try to shoehorn in connections to the other MCU properties, which was frustrating, namely the Ben Kingsley faux-Mandarin given a bit too much screen time. Outside of that, and the obligatory CGI mess of a climax, this was so damn fun. I loved that it was a martial arts film with some superhero elements tossed in. The fights were awesome (especially the bus scene) and the casting was superb. Simu Liu, Meng'er Zhang, and Awkwafina made their characters come alive. If you're getting exhausted with Marvel flicks, this is a welcome respite that gives us something fresh.
