Marvel Studios' SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, who must face the past he thought he left behind and confront his father, leader of the dangerous Ten Rings organization. The film also stars Awkwafina as Shang-Chi's friend Katy, Meng'er Zhang, Fala Chen, and Florian Munteanu, with Michelle Yeoh as Ying Nan and Tony Leung as Xu Wenwu. SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and produced by Kevin Feige and Jonathan Schwartz, with Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso and Charles Newirth serving as executive producers. Both the screenplay and the screen story are by Dave Callaham & Destin Daniel Cretton & Andrew Lanham. Review: A Fantsasy Martial Arts Action Film of the highest order - I was watching (fourth time) Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon recently with some friends not familiar with Chinese films and culture. One walked out scoffing, the other stayed with it but had negative comments. Some have a problem with martial arts, with fantasy, and the seemingly impossible stunts in action films. I went home and immediately ordered Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, as I think Michele Yeoh is a great actress, especially now older, wiser, mature, and fascinating to watch her depth of feeling and expressions in the roles she takes on in her midlife career (she was exceptional and brilliant in Everything Everywhere All at Once). Also I've been a great fan of Tony Leung and Akwafina (I did not know Sir Ben Kingsley had a role in the film - brilliant as always). I knew the film won some awards a couple years back. But... Wow! I was not prepared for this. The movie totally blew me away. I don't want to give any spoilers. It is a film to watch and be drawn into, let it flow with no preconceptions. It begins in Mandarin centuries earlier in China, but a short time into the film it switches to English in modern San Francisco, Some of the best action sequences I've seen in recent films. The CGI works seamlessly into the film and is about the best I have seen and I give praise to the team that worked on it, praise also to the film editors, the cinematographers, and to the director and his vision. The writers also must be given credit for making an essentially fantasy action film come alive in a way that you can imagine being young again and encountering your first film about good and evil, and the importance of good character, virtues and life values of family, friendship, love, loyalty in the confrontation with evil. It is visually stunning if not astonishing. The acting is superb by all, obviously the product of team work. It ends with a suggestion of more to come, and I for one cannot wait to see the next chapter. But first I am going to watch Shang Chi and the Legend of the Twelve Rings again and again. It is a total film experience, and for this I give it 5 Stars, two thumbs up. Review: A keeper - Awesome addition to the Marvel movie line up. As time goes by, I find Marvel is creating more and more films with grandiose supervillains to try to keep interest in their movies, but I think more and more of them are failing. This movie was written not only creatively, but smartly and quite engaging, completely self-contained, and introducing us to new and compelling figures, legends, and superpowers. The special effects were of course quite good, and I felt like I'd really been to a superhero movie when I finished watching this in the theater. I now proudly add the DVD to my superhero collection. Recommended.

Love it!
I love everything about this movie! Every single performer is stellar. The action is high energy awesomeness and all of the emotion of humor, sadness, betrayal and reconciliation are true and heartfelt. Ultimately, in spite of and partly because of great loss; when Shang Chi finally reconciles the two sides within himself, he becomes a super hero. In the last act, when Shang Chi has finally found himself, he is forced to make a decision to abandon his sister (she insists that he do this so that he can save the village), but Shang Chi refuses to make the same mistake he made years ago when he was still running from himself and the pernicious influence of his father. He tells her, "I'm never leaving you again" and saves her life. Then together, they save the village. This movie is the best Marvel movie by far (IMHO)!
