This was good for what it was.
That said, I liked the movie well enough for what it was--Marvel's take on the kung-fu genre.
I don't mind Awkafina but she sounds like she's been smoking 2 packs a day for the past thirty years. Maybe that's part of her appeal?

Okay, that made me so not want to watch this movie.
I mean, I will, but if the purpose of that trailer was to generate interest it missed the mark by a looooong way.

Lol, man; that whole segment was probably my favorite part of the movie from start to finish at that establishment. Tons of visual noise, super Final Fight/Streets of Rage vibes. I think what would have made that shit 10/10 instead of 9/10 for me, is if they went a little more The Warriors with it and showed off some background factions..
unrelated, but the mental vibes i get.

Oh damn, no I totally missed it. My brain says I caught it but my memory says otherwise; pretty sure I mentally checked out during the whole bedroom sequence. I'd give this movie a second watch just to see that alone lol.. but imma wait til I can get it free. I did see the Kungfu Hustle poster. Saw a lot of love letter moments toward Hong Kong cinema throughout the film. I didn't realize Yuen Wah was in it, or that Brad Allan was the stunt coordinator til the In Memory.

1080p bluray rips of Shang Chi are out, i'd assume 4K UHDs follow in a few hours. Movie is on Disney+ in 3 days free for all subs. Disney is also announcing IMAX format movies on D+ the same day, wonder if Shang Chi does that (no clue what cameras it was filmed on)
Weirdly AMC is cutting its own throat celebrating Disney+ day in 3 days as well, offering $5 disney movies in theaters

theatrical and imax versions are up on D+ now
saw it today, meh. Not horrible, but not really a MCU movie either. It was a decent Jet Li/Ip Man/chinese kung fu movie with an insane CGI budget that jammed in some MCU references on the sides. Awkwafina was so goddamn awful with her harpy voice, how the fuck does she keep getting cast in movies.
my interest in MCU movies keeps dropping every time, I'm not really sure which I like more Black Widow or Shang Chi but both are extremely mediocre and bottom tier MCU movies. Super predictable, lead character had no charisma, his younger sister looked way older than him, and the dad was a talking plot device, not a real character.
i guess if you've seen every MCU movie might as well watch it, but honestly at this point stopping at Avengers EndGame is the best choice.

Yeah watched it tonight on the Imax version. I agree that it was not really a superhero movie. For what it was, a martial arts movie, I enjoyed it. Not great, not terrible. Fight scenes were good.

I watched it again for the first time since the initial release. I still enjoyed it for what it is, but I admit that I like martial arts movies in general more than a lot of people so it kind of is what it is. I've always kind of enjoyed that the MCU has kind of incorporated genre movies into the mix.
