I watched Shang Chi over the weekend, and I enjoyed it. It had a good three acts, from introducing the new hero, giving him some complications, and going into the final confrontation. It is a general style that Marvel has perfected well, and it worked in this instance. The main character was someone I enjoyed cheering for, and his companions all had time to shine and contribute to the story. We even got to see some characters from other movies return and put their stamp on the movie. It is one of the joys of a shared universe that makes each movie feel like part of a larger whole. It helps them all. I give Shang Chi two rings up.
