Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

For fans of cinematic spectacle, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings offers some of the best choreographed action sequences of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The first half of the film is better, and I liked it much more than I was expecting.

It's a strong debut for a new hero, injecting diverse blood into the MCU in a way that does not feel forced or hollow. I just think the overall film is still less than the sum of its more outstanding parts.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings at least continues the studio's track record of enlisting the talents of truly great artists. Here, that would be the commanding and charismatic Leung.

Great action, Simu Liu is a great kind of charismatic center for [the film].

The picture rattles along with an unpretentious vigour too rare in the Marvel universe.

Tony Leung is as good as advertised, but the rest of this movie struggles to live up to that performance.

Shang Chi's strongest element is how it handles relationships between family and friends.

Through the outstanding mix of long takes, impressive fighting choreography, and jaw-dropping stunt work, Simu Liu shines with his martial arts skills, but also in tackling the identity issues of the protagonist.
