Action Fantasy Movies Go Full Chop Suey


SHANG CHI AND THE TEN RINGS

ACTION/ADVENTURE/ FANTASY

PLOT:  The origin of the martial arts and mystic fighter from the Marvel comics of the same name.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  The fight scenes, the beautiful magical lands and the comic relief by Awkafina and his evil father Xu Wenwu (Tony Leung). Surprise cameos what you wouldn’t expect.

WHAT IS WRONG:  The origin villain is not Xu Wenwu but Fu Manchu in the comics but many Asian Americans dislike the character so they made changes.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  YES if you like Marvel movies and the character.  Delayed so many times because of Covid- 19, it is worth the wait.

 

SNAKE EYES

ACTION/ADVENTURE 

PLOT:  The origin of the most popular character of GI Joe.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  The fight scenes and Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) is very attractive and a good actor.

WHAT IS WRONG:  In this film his origin is different than in GI Joe and he is a loner but speaks while in the other movie he does not talk. 

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  Only if you like Golding and the fight scenes.
