I loved this flick. The kinda fun, heart and adventure I crave in super hero movies. Got a really bad rap and I'm not sure why. The same thing happened to Quantumania. Give it a chance if you haven't.

Shang Chi had its moments and was certainly beautiful. The cast was solid and the guys behind the camera have strong history. At the end though, I was left wanting in a way I have not been by an MCU film. Maybe I shouldn't have watched all those shorts on YouTube, I don't know. I was expecting Dr. Strange or best case Black Panther. What I got was a film that tried too hard to do too much. The plot was derivative and the story was mushy. The editors made suspect choices, laughs were in the wrong spots and it dragged in places. Nobody bats a thousand, Feige has come close. I'm probably the victim of my own expectations here. I'm not sure I'll even go to Eternals. I'm a sucker though, I'll probably pay up. It's may be my last if I walk out wishing I hadn't spent the money.
