Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

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.

Love the movie, so had to add to my movie collection.

I enjoyed the movie immensely and a friend was looking forward to seeing it.The price was definitely worth what I paid for it to have it at the event.I took it to.

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.

One of Marvel's Master piece. Great movie.

fun movie

I like to watch movies not read them. Decent film from what I could hear.

Excellent

Ponen que es en español pero es español de sud-america y no en castellano de España

Watching this movie in Dolby Vision and Atmos is a visual feast. Good one, to my collection

correspond parfaitement

Une incroyable découverte ! Un film incroyable, un Super héros qui entre dans le cercle très fermé de Marvel ! Les dix anneaux n'ont pas livré tous leurs secrets ! Affaire à suivre ! Je recommande !

A pesar de ya tener saturado el mundo del cine con películas de superhéroes, está película cuenta con un equilibrado sistema entre comedia y acción, la historia no cambia el cine pero cumple los efectos especiales son sublimes, para una tarde de cine está película es ideal, está versión viene doblada y subtitulada al español
