Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Movie Review

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 16:10:03 +0000

Back and on the big screen, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings shows there is life left in the post-Avengers world for a big epic Marvel adventure. There is also room for growth as the expansion of the MCU continues. Having female leads carrying films and giving respect to non-western cultures are just a few welcome additions.

Shang-Chi… taps into a father and son dynamic and features a refreshing lack of romantic entanglements between its two leads. Shaun (Simu Liu) and Katy (Awkwafina) have good chemistry together, one that is buttressed by their friendship remaining platonic. Shaun has extreme hidden talents that emerge but this doesn’t change his character’s accessible nature.

Blending fantasy and real-world elements into its entertaining mix, it features some of the most physical action sequences yet seen in a Marvel production. The martial arts on display are both artistic and expertly choreographed. They skirt the fine line between dance and fisticuffs with a virtuoso flair.

It’s not a complete departure though and the filmmakers cannot resist the urge to ramp up the final reel to epic proportions. The end result provides the movie’s weakest moments. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings plays best when it keeps the action between its protagonists based in a believable version of reality with light sprinklings of the fantasy world.

Watch the thrilling, brand-new trailer for Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings,” featuring Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), a young Super Hero whose journey of self-discovery unfolds in this never-before-seen origin story.

Destin Daniel Cretton, the film’s director and one of the writers, is excited to bring Shang-Chi’s story to the big screen. “Shang-Chi’s main problem in his life is rooted in not knowing who he really is,” says Cretton. “He has to learn how to own every part of himself. If he doesn’t allow himself to look at all of it—the good, the bad, the light and the dark—and to own it all, he won’t be able to reach his full potential.”

Shang-Chi’s journey is told with stunning visuals, the MCU’s signature spectacle and displays of mind-blowing action, along with the talents of a diverse, stellar cast and a relatable story. Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings” opens in cinemas on September 2.
