Reviewer notes
RecommendedOne thing that the MCU hasn't been spectacular at is branching out into other genres. Most have been scifi/fantasy fare. An attempt at horror with "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." Some more comedic entries like "Thor: Ragnarok." "Shang Chi" is their attempt to bring the classic Kung Fu fantasy genre into the fold. And it sort of works.…
RecommendedI'll be straight forward with you; I'm old. And I have a great pleathora of movie viewing history behind these eyes. Me being old, I am bitter most times from jealously of lost youth and a firey contempt toward lazy boneheaded braindead youth of today. But I digress...the review. My review will be short as are my praises, while my critique shall be terse. Deal with it. This movie is not bad.…
RecommendedI have to say that this was a surprisingly good movie. I say surprisingly because Marvel (or DC for that matter) have not exactly excelled in making even decent movies for quite some time. That the woke “critics” on Rotten Tomatoes gave it high ratings was a bit of a red flag as well but not only was the movie rather free from woke ramblings and preaching but it was a very fun and entertaining movie to watch.…
Recommended**Shang-chi** is the 25th film in the marvel cinematic universe, it is deep without canyons of emotion but also comedic (with occasional comedic failures). This film embarks the MCU into a different world where tradition intertwines with modern societal problem,the film tackles this elegantly with a few stutters at the seams.…
