generic official movie poster …

Saw it on 9/8/21

Starring: Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Fala Chen, and Michelle Yeoh

Summary:

Shaun and Katy are valet drivers who kind of just loaf about and do karaoke when not on the job. They’re friends who met in high school.

Additional Comments:

  • Shaun is Shang-Chi who has some serious daddy issues. But who wouldn’t if their mother got killed in front of him when he was just a kid. Then, daddy dearest trained him to be an assassin.
  • Katy kind of seems to be just along for the ride, but she has her moments.
  • Shang-Chi and his sister, Xialing, both have pendants their father wants for a crazy quest to save their mother.
  • The beginning kind of took a while to get through, but it’s necessary backstory for the most part.
  • I’m not a huge fan of flashbacks, but I’m also not sure there is any other way to tell such a story. I did enjoy that the flashbacks expanded each time to give the audience more details.
  • There’s a lot of subtitles.
  • I love Michelle Yeoh, and she makes one awesome aunt to Shang-Chi and his sister.
  • The baby and young boy who played Shang-Chi in flashbacks were heart-meltingly adorable.
  • I missed most of the first special scene, but it was still a great experience.

Conclusion:

Worth watching. Maybe worth watching a few times.
