You can't make shit movies like GI Joe with Asians and go "wow diversity doesn't ALWAYS sell!" You're not selling diversity you morons. You make GOOD movies with diversity, not shit with diversity.

Jesus, this guy got PAID to write that? Anyway... I saw the movie yesterday and it was very good. Definitely one of the better Marvel films to date. Next up, Eternals which I'm REALLY looking forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if only white people could achieve a range of quality worth pricing against. It's like, yeah. Shit white movies don't sell either, where's the article on the limits of whiteness?

Kamusha Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I had fun with it but the first 30 minutes to me were marketably better than the last 30. Wish they kept the action smaller like in the beginning and focused more on the insane stunt work than the CGI spectacle. Hope the success of this means we’ll more eastern influenced action in Hollywood. More of this please. Kept hearing about the bus fight and it was really that good. And insane that it literally happens within the first 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 watched this since it’s on disney plus now. thought it was fine. the fight scenes were good especially more at the beginning (bus fight might be the best fight in the whole mcu) but all the other stuff felt lacking. especially the last conflict. giant cgi fest.

AbsolutSurgen Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I found it aggressively mediocre. Of the main cast, Katy was dripping with Charisma -- and almost eveyone else was boring. [Ben Kingsley was incredible too, for his relatively short screen time.] The rest made it a slightly-less interesting than average Marvel character -- and one that I had never heard of (so made it even less interesting). Worth watching, but not worth making a special effort to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I just saw this as well, and I thought it was pretty solid. Nothing amazing, but well done. The ten rings action sequences were pretty baller, and of course the bus fight in the beginning is epic. I really enjoyed the first 2/3's but when they get to Ta Lo as usual like many MCU movies the entire thing really deflates in the last 3rd. I enjoyed it, but nothing ground breaking at all.

Reputator Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Just watched it too. Really enjoyed it. Katy was great but I really liked Simu Liu's performance as Shang-Chi as well. And seeing Michelle Yeoh kick some more ass never hurts (the viewer that is). Special effects got really video gamey in some places though. But the fights had me sitting up in my seat and I call that a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
