Shang Chi…..Free on Disney plus Mid October
Discussion
Took my daughter to the cinema for this earlier, despite my own reservations about it. Starts well, gradually goes downhill finishes with ANOTHER tedious CGI fest. Lead actor is total timber. Marvel need to do better than this. It’s better than the awful Black Widow but it feels like they aren’t trying anymore. Oh, and it’s free to watch on Disney Plus (if you have relevant subscription) from middle of next month.
Marvel should have used Iron Fist instead and done that properly. My advice, watch at home.

My son and I went to see it on Saturday. He said he enjoyed it but I didn’t see much that hadn’t been done before, just this time with an Oriental twist.
The Ben Kingsley and friend stuff was terrible and Shang Chi’s partner was really annoying. We’ve seen all the modern Marvel films and in my opinion this one was far and away the worst.
We went to the 8pm showing in Lincoln. I reckon there were maybe 30 people in there tops. I don’t know what the average post-covid audience is, but this was pretty poor for a Saturday night in the first week of release. I found myself looking at the other patrons about half way through the film and there were a couple on their phones.
If I’d have known it was free on Disney+ next month, I’d have saved myself £30.

Shang Chi, Jungle Cruise and a bunch of other stuff will all be released on November 12th https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/the-walt-disney-c...
I saw it at the weekend. It wasn't their best film and it wasn't their worst either.
That said, it didn't hold a candle to the first Iron Man. Hopefully this can trigger & carry the next chapter in a similar way once the next few films are out and we can see what the easter eggs are, but it's a good job they didn't lead with it.
Still, it will probably sell well in China and if that gets cash in to fund other films then that's all to the good.

The MCU output has really declined post Endgame. The films all still turn a profit but they are becoming really formulaic. The Eternals film looks tedious and I have no interest in seeing it at the cinema.
That's my feeling too. It's like they've used all the big hitters up and now we're getting the also-rans. Shang-Chi had a decent run in the comics back in the 70's on the back of the kung-fu craze (see also Iron Fist), but the Eternals never did much. Black Widow was a supporting character at best.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
