A pretty solid marvel take on Chinese cinema cliches with many grand fight sequences and a Hey There Daddy called Razorfist. Shang Chi himself is a little dull, constantly dragging the film into flashbacks that don't help to flesh out the character so much as just accumulate detail and give us the same dull character played by younger actors. Awkwafina does decent scene stealing and some of the marvel in-references drag the film down slightly (yes the events of Endgame were huge but at this point pretty much every subsequent Marvel product has references to it - time to stop looking back and start looking forward - admittedly this may not have been as much of a problem if original release schedules were followed but at this point we're two and a half years on and still bogged down in this)
