Critics Consensus

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings isn't entirely free of Marvel's familiar formula, but this exciting origin story expands the MCU in more ways than one.

The first half of the film is better, and I liked it much more than I was expecting.

It's a strong debut for a new hero, injecting diverse blood into the MCU in a way that does not feel forced or hollow. I just think the overall film is still less than the sum of its more outstanding parts.

Rated: 2.5/4

At its best, The Legend Of The 10 Rings is a lot of fun – fast moving, lithe and very witty.

Rated: 3/5

We have a film that serves as an important step in terms of improved global representation, but also serves as a spectacular rollercoaster ride full of enchantment and sentimentality.

After “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), MCU movies have been adequate, but not exhilarating whereas “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” leaves you wanting more because of the humor, character development, poignant, dynamic trajectory of the story

Top tier choreography! The visuals are really impressive and the story is executed very well. What a way to introduce this character to the MCU!

Al the chill movie guy

Shang-Chi is a breath of fresh air in the MCU, blending martial arts action, heartfelt storytelling, and stunning visuals. Simu Liu shines in the lead role, bringing charm, depth, and humor. The fight choreography is some of the best Marvel has ever done, and the cultural representation adds a rich, meaningful layer. It’s exciting, emotional, and fun from start to finish. Nearly perfect — just wanted a bit more from the villain. Still, a top-tier Marvel experience!

I've seen every martial arts movie that's worth watching. so to me this movie was mid in that realm. but as for a marvel movie it was really good. funny but not stupid. the action was well practiced, although sometimes a little too obvious. still, it didbita job making me like a character and world that we aren't as familiar with.

solid film with great action, weaker on the plot and final fight but it was entertaining enough to not hinder the film. can't wait for a sequel!
