Now in 2021, we're eager for those big popcorn thrills of old, of a time before lockdowns and denials and vaccine misinformation. A relatively fresh and welcome addition to the franchise.Īfter dominating the cinemas for over the last decade, Marvel took 2020 off thanks to that great menace even its own superheroes couldn't overpower. Shang Chi is a Marvel film that pushes iconic cultural identity by genre mixing blockbuster action with period-Chinese-martial-arts flicks while delivering the same value of quality entertainment that the MCU has for years. Aquafina's personal narrative also resonates a lot with this generation of uninspired young adults. I think there's a sincerity in the way Tony Leung and Simu Liu were able to bring to their roles that really pushed what could've felt like a trite ordeal. No, Shang Chi definitely shines most in its character themes and relationships despite their obvious nature. By the final acts of the film the urgency and drama of the antagonistic threat felt so disconnected from the "real world" and almost inconsequential. My only gripes really is that the movie feels too standalone despite plenty of supporting roles filled by existing MCU characters.

The movie leans effectively on Asian familial themes creating resonating character stories that play out in unison with an extravagant mythos of Chinese inspired fantasy.

Great watch! I thought I was over martial arts flicks having grown up on Hong Kong media but Hollywood really knows how to elevate the same style choreography with effective camera angles and impact shots.
