For the most part each fight is always from a self defense angle. I did see some talk about him being too merciless and going for the kill, but I definitely didn’t see that. Certainly none of the street level fighters can handle him.Īs for Shang Chi himself, he’s definitely a great lead. It’s a very versatile weapon and if Shang Chi keeps those to use in combat for future films he is going to be very tough to beat. It’s very much in the style of what you would see in the Tron films. I also like the way the rings are used in combat. The creatures have really epic designs and lighting for their attacks. The effects are definitely on point as well. I’d consider the battle before that to be the true final battle for the combat while this is more of a general climax. It’s not quite as solid as the rest of the fights but it’s always good to see the creatures getting some hype. While this is usually more of an anime movie trend, the movie even decides to go for a little Godzilla type action at the end. Whether it’s the fight on the roof top or the climactic showdown, you can always expect a lot of hype. The battles continue to be solid throughout the movie though. Likewise, Widow’s first big action scene was my favorite so I guess I just really like the way these films tend to open. The hand to hand is very high energy and the train fight is probably my favorite fight in the film. Even as someone who did think that the Black Widow fights were really good, it’s night and day compared to this one. It’s really good with minimal use of cutaways so you can follow the choreography. Right off the bat the opening fight scene in the modern day sets the tone well. Can they protect her from this group led by Shang Chi’s father or is she already doomed? This means that Xu may be the next target so the two head off to go and help protect her. Shang Chi fights them off but not before they steal his pendant. One day the two of them are attacked by a group of assassins. They have a good bond of friendship going for them but Katy’s family want more for her. Shang Chi and his best friend Katy work for a hotel as they drive cars around and enjoy their job. Shang Chi and Xu Xialing are born and we then cut to the present. After that he ends up meeting Wenwu and they get married. That was definitely implemented really well. The opening scene is like something out of Dynasty Warriors as he can use his rings with such speed that it appears to be a forcefield which blocks incoming arrows. The movie starts by introducing us to Shang Chi’s father Wenwu as he wipes out army after army. You’ll have a blast from start to finish as you go through the journey. It’s got a great balance of action and humor so in the end this movie has a ton of replay value. This one’s been getting a lot of hype for the hand to hand fights and it delivers on this. It’s time to finally take a look at the latest Marvel installment, Shang Chi.
