Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
This quasi-martial arts plus sorcery plus Marvel's superhero styling is a unique entry in the comic book superhero sweepstakes.
Fast take on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: The film starts off well and establishes legit Deadly Hands of Kung Fu bona fides, but before the midway mark we're shifting into Disney film territory, and by the end its completely gone Disney, more or less the same thing that happens to The Marvels, that is, the Disney film mentality takes over and the Marvel film mentality has been reduced. If only the movie had stayed within the story range of just about any issue of Deadly Hands of Kung Fu.
