At first, it felt like I am watching not a MCU movie: it felt just different.
Clearly, Shang-Chi targets the China Market and invites us to embrace the Chinese culture and suddenly, I liked that part about the movie. I've watched few Chinese movies and yet I like this one a lot.
Pros: Cool action, scenes and music. Actually a decent plot. A thorough backstory (given the movie runtime).
Cons: What I really dislike in recent MCU movies is that there is always that one person who is damn silly and ridiculous but is never fun for me: they are always apparent and it's totally clear what's their role in the movie - to make you laugh by their silly jokes and them being sort of 'the third wheel'. I feel cringe. Sorry.
Speaking of visuals and unique creations: it didn't impress me. Instead, it felt somewhat underwhelming. I am not saying it was terrible but I definitely seen better VFX production in the MCU and my expectations are higher than what we get in Shang-Chi.
In conclusion, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings impressed me and at the same time slightly disappointed me.
In the end, it was just a good one for me.
