Marvel goes Asian-American. Apparently, Shang-chi is a lesser known Marvel hero, but since I'm largely unaware of anything Marvel outside the film sphere, it didn't matter much for me. My only real interest in this film was to see how Tony Leung would do, though it's a good thing I kept my hopes low.

Shang-chi is a typical "USA does China" film, stuck in uncanny valley. There are quite a few parallels with the cheesy Chinese CG fests that have plagued Chinese movie screen though. The CG's a bit better, the aesthetics are a bit worse, the result is pretty much the same. Very mediocre film making that will be quickly forgotten.
