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

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.
