It’s really amazing how much Trevor’s stupid moments hurt the tone of the film.. almost feels like that was studio mandated or something.. “Add more humor!!!”
Awesome review! Really curious to watch this one. I totally agree about Simu Liu. I love his comedic beats in Kim’s Convenience but when he acts dramatically he never sells me on it! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
I just watched Shang Chi last night and I wasn't entirely sold on Simu as Shang Chi. I think he was *almost* ready for the role, but he wasn't quite there for me 100%. I think he did well in the stunt scenes he was actually able to do himself (which I assume was at least half of the martial art scenes if not all of them). I just think the emoting part of it wasn't all the way there for me and his performance lacked quite a bit there because of it. I think if he had become more seasoned as an actor, it would have come full circle for me on the film. Otherwise I think the movie was pretty well done.
The amount of CGI in that final battle was dizzying, and it really took me out of the film. While it did look good on IMAX, it was WAY too bombastic and too far removed from the rest of the film. The practical aspects of the story really enhanced the film, but they completely shifted away from that in the end. I also thought Simu Liu didn't bring the emotional resonance like he could have. It was very "stuck." I still had a fun time, though, and I'm invested enough to see how this world will expand in the MCU and in future films. You made some really solid points here! 👌👌👌
@@brandonspencer5594 As someone who has only seen Dragon Ball Z a few times in my life, I can definitely agree that the final battle gave a LOT of that.
@@DMovieman I won’t lie,I usually don’t mind cgi fights in marvel and I totally get people are tired of them…..but I’m gonna defend this 3rd act just for the fact it gives off that vibe 😝
As you pay attention to the details of the trailer; I love how they snuck in the "wizard ornaments" because this connects them to Falcon and the Winter Soldier, when Sam Wilson said: "a sorcerer is just a wizard without a hat".🤣
Ima huge marvel. But I can’t seem to get excited for anything anymore. I haven’t even watched black window and Loki but if you say it’s worth it I’ll check it out
Was not impressed with this movie at all. Shang chi is the Master of Kung fu disciplines. This guy was shown some moves and those were seen in the trailer (Bus fight scene) after that, he's just running around throwing rings around riding a dragon. Was it fun to watch, yes one time after that you'll forget about it. He doesn't have the look of a warrior which I've said from the beginning and his fighting skills are not up to par. Sorry my score is a C+
Always appreciate honesty and thank you for sharing your thoughts and watching my review and who knows, maybe next time we see the character he may grow on you.
@@MovieFiles after I think about 30 minutes I turned it off I didn't find it to be funny I found it to be a little cringy..... but his comedy special on Netflix was really funny a few years back SMH
@@MovieFiles I follow him on Instagram and he had posted about people being haters or something to that effect.... and I thought to myself it may have been about that special...lol
Great review after being a little disappointed with black widow and extremely disappointed with demonic . I’m so excited for Shang-Chi as someone that a Hugh fan martial arts movies I hope this exceeds my experience
I’m excited to check this out (but not for 30 bucks if they put it on Disney+) As far as martial art movies lately, I really enjoyed Paper Tigers on Netflix
I don't think for Asian's, this film will have as much as an impact as Black Panther for the African, African-American's. Asia already has it's own huge film industry with whole Asian casts as a normality. So really nothing new for them in this aspect.
