Part 10/11:
Shang-Chi is better than many anticipated, and despite its flaws, it’s an enjoyable, well-choreographed martial arts fantasy that stands out within MCU Phase Four. It’s a film that benefits from low expectations and a lack of heavy promotion, making its performance somewhat surprising but ultimately respectable.
While it may not break box office records or reshape the superhero genre, it signals that Marvel can produce a solid film outside the usual formula—though it remains to be seen whether this is due to quality, timing, or a lack of competition.
