Marvel’s much-awaited movie ‘Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ has been released and marvel fans are going crazy over it. It is the 25th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the 20th film which features a storyline based on a distinct superhero or comic book character. The film has been running in the theatres, and it won’t arrive on the Disney+ streaming service for 45 days, and it will be happening for the first time with a Disney-produced film during COVID-19.

Fans of the MCU have similarly expressed that the film story was so genuine that it even made them cry. Protagonist Simu Liu in the movie is remarkable as a lead, with his natural mystique and impending energy-boosting scenes. The Shang Chi cast also includes the Malaysian superstar Michelle Yeoh, who has been everywhere from Star trek to Hidden Dragon. Yeoh has always been a treat to watch, and she is a captivating draw for Shang-Chi as well. The villain of the movie is played by Hong Kong screen legend Tony Leung, known for engrossing romantic drama in the ‘Mood for Love’ and the crime thriller ‘Infernal Affairs’.

Marvel has delivered its first Asian-lead superhero stand-alone with Shang Chi. And this film has been making waves upon its release with several fans praising the film and expressing their love for marvel. People are also appreciating the fight sequences and martial arts performances in the movie. Speaking of martial arts influences, William Pope cannot go wrong with the action genre. William was the cinematographer on The Matrix and its first two sequels, and he has certainly shown his magic in Shang Chi as well. Incredible action is about choreography of course but also cinematography, and hence William benefits Shang Chi because he is bringing expertise to the screen. The uniqueness of action scenes blended with martial arts and some classical combat methods create an element of finesse in the movie that further enhances the experience and sets Shang Chi apart from the other fighting sequences of MCU.

Another most worthy choice is the movie director Destin Daniel Cretton, and also co-writers Dave Callaham and Andrew Lanham, with the devotion of an authentic experience. The Mandarin language used in the movie is also quite intriguing. And in that matter, Shang Chi’s greatest achievement might be helping normalizing subtitles as well. According to Deadline, the film has worldwide earned a total of 139.7 million. In India, the movie has collected a gross total of Rs 7.50 crore in the first two days of theatrical release from 3rd September.

With its Asian leads, Shang Chi is making history in the cinematic universe, that too in a global pandemic. Several fans have also talked about how Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings might just be the best solo film that Marvel has released, so far. And they have been raving about the movie with several talking about how their minds were blown at the experience. So, here’s a small glimpse of what do marvel fans think about the Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
