Trailer: Shang Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings

I almost fell asleep watching the first one on Disney Plus.

I know Hollywood wants that Asian money but I really had no interest in Shang Chi prior to the first film, I don't think I'll have much interest in the second.
First was fine, about as mediocre as something can be without crossing over to bad.

I'll download once it hits the high seas.

So many people love this movie and respectfully I just don't think it was that good

Hold on let me be clear it wasn't BAD

And I think the lead did a great job

But honestly I can't stand Akwafina. She took me completely out of the movie. Her voice and acting didn't work for me.

However I liked their chemistry and unique brother sister vibe.

Loved all the Asian cinematic touches from the old Shaw brothers to Crouching tiger and the wushu loved it. Good acting overall. Looked good.

But I fell asleep.

That bus scene was incredible

(Sidebar: wtf do superhero movies have against public transportation buses specifically? I digress)

But it was just okay

That's why I'm always the outsider on here about these types of movies. These so called fans subjective as f**k. I don't see the consistency at all. They hate the fan service when I don't know it's not something THEY would have done? But some member berries are okay if what? You like them?

I don't see how Shang Chi Captain Marvel and Antman Wasp Blue Beetle are THAT much a difference in quality to explain their respective box office.
 
I could have been great without the shanggrila and the big grand battle at the end.

Almost every fucking Marvel movie this phase had a unnecessary battle royale at the end
 
The sequel to a movie in which the "hero" is beaten by & overshadowed by his far more capable and far more competent, self taught little sister.
- Pass.
Even worse they killed off the real "Mandarin} and replaced him with her.

Yep.
The whole Mandarin angle of the MCU is completely fucked up. Rather than making him Ironman's primary nemesis and a threat to the entire world, they turned him into:
- A phony actor.
- A vengeful nerd.
- A lovesick widower.
And now his (Marysue/girl boss) daughter is in charge of his criminal empire with zero training & no real credibility.

Disney ain't trying to get The Mandarin right...
