Dunno Its disney+ day on the 12th celebrating the anniversary of it or something and this is the first promotion / trial I've seen in a few months so I'd be surprised if it wasn't included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks amazing and the cast was pretty decent (wasn’t sold on Angelina Jolie as Thena, but the rest were good). It’s not a top tier MCU film, but a good entry in the latest phase. 2nd cut scene connects to one of the upcoming films I’m most excited about. Good effort, looking forward to Hawkeye and Spider-Man rounding off ‘21. I wasn’t overly impressed, I think the film at times got boring, but perversely would have been better as a series to flesh it out. I thought Richard Madden was very wooden, yes in a way the character of Ikarus invited that, but there was more that could’ve been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chindie Posted November 12, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 Very much enjoyed Shang-chi. Not perfect but any means but a nice, fresh entry in the series. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Shang Chi is well worth a watch, some good wuxi a and choreography on the fights, I'd have been happy with more if I'm honest, more of the dad vs gangsters too, was dubious about the final 3rd but I think it actually managed to make itself different enough from the usual superhero stuff to be quite good Spoiler for the 2nd after credits bit Spoiler The sister getting a TV show? She and the 10 rings don't seem worth exploring more in film but of they bring back the fighting ring and throw B characters at it a TV series could be good, not a clue what the central story arc to that would be Edited November 13, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted November 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2021 Started watching the What Ifs. Finding them very self indulgent and a tad over the top/going to far. Are they worth sticking with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very self indulgent though and absolute nonsense in some bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it is ridiculous and makes no sense and some is very heavy handed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely low tier marvel 6.5/10 Felt exactly the same. Probably my least favourite out of every film so far but still good. Just shows how amazing the MCU is. Eternals next. I read some of the comics last year in lockdown (I never read comics) so intrigued to see how it's portrayed on the big screen. The new Spider-Man trailer has got me almost as excited as Infinity War + Endgame did, really can't wait. Spoiler Toby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
