Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings reviews are pouring from all corners as first viewers are telling us if it is a good movie or not.
The movie is many firsts, and it must reach some level of achievement to be considered good. For example, it is integral in introducing the other movies in the MCU Phase 4 project. Additionally, as the first Asian superhero getting its standalone film, it could open the door for other heroes from that part of the world.
With its record-breaking opening weekend Box Office earnings of $71.4 million, it seems on the right path already.
“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” could be a cultural resetter like the “Black Panther” movie was back in 2018. Thus, it is understandable that people are already giving their two cents about it just two days after it began its theatrical run.

Professional wrestler, Evil Uno was taken in by the CGI. Meanwhile, a movie fanatic thinks that it has the best origin story, kudos to story writers Dave Callaham and Destin Daniel Cretton.
Another viewer had this to say:
Shang-Chi was great, some of the best cinematography and fight choreography I have seen out of the MCU recently. I just wish the film had better pacing because while I liked the characters and the jokes landed for me, there was way too much time spent on trying to be funny.

Another person feels that the humour did not hit as the makers expected, resulting in as few laughs as possible.
