    Awkwafina was one of the best parts of this, she was funny as hell throughout it

    The first two acts are infinitely better than the final act. Hard swing into standard marvel light show ending.

    also BK did not need to be in this at all. So forced and incredibly awkward.

    fight scenes were great, the bus scene was very well done. Jackie Chan in his police story days should totally have been in this

    I thought BK fit in perfectly given his character and the narrative of this film. Would have been a really weird loose end to never bring up again when the 10 rings are a big focus in this.

    Could not have been more excited to see Trevor again, don’t know how they kept that a secret

    Fun fact:

    Yuen Wah, who plays the old man in the village (Guang Bo) also shared the screen with Bruce Lee in the films Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon.

    I just think it’s fascinating that we got an actor from those films in this.

    The only problems I had with this were the length and the lull in the middle.

    Cast was great. Really liked Meng'er Zhang. I always like Awkwafina. Loved Trevor.

    The bus scene was probably my favorite part. 8/10!

    I really enjoyed this. All of the acting was top notch. Secondary and tertiary characters really shined. BK was definitely a highlight. Can't wait to see how they use him and his sister in the future.

    Mild complaints: Kinda too heavy on the comedic relief with three different characters plus Wong and knife hand. Third act leaned way too hard on Falkor CGI messiness. Stingers fell flat for me.

    Thought this was great. Really loved the fight scenes. Wish there was more toward the end. The acting was great. Awkwafina’s humor fell flat for me but I thought her more serious acting was really good. Especially her reactions to Shang Chi telling her he went through with it. Even though it got pretty crazy with the CGI I thought it looked great with one exception. When they first met the aunt you could clearly tell those were reshoots or just not green screened that well.

    only things that took me out of the movie was how was Tony Leung 1000 years old and not shooting blanks, I know he had magic rings but still; also problematic age gap much
    also they kept saying Shang Chi went away 10 years ago but he left when he was 14 and he was clearly in his early 30s, same with saying he knew Katy for 10 years it had to be at least 15 if they met in high school
    also how did a 15 year old get a house and enroll in school
    I liked how cool all the cgi creatures looked
    Awkwafina was definitely used well in this, and the last dragon got to meet another dragon
    I thought SImu did well and I liked the idea of Shang Chi being a crossfit himbo that checked out and it will be interesting to see how he fits into the mcu

    I loved it.
    It’s the first thing I’ve seen Awkwafina in. Maybe I’ll check out The Farewell soon. I want a stuffed Morris.

    God all the fight choreography is so good. Finally something tops Winter Soldier.
