Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ★★★

"I have lived ten of your lifetimes. I have eaten more salt than you have had rice in your life!"

Eh. I appreciate the attempt at proper cultural representation, and quite like Simu Liu and Awkwafina as lead actors. However, this script does not do a good enough job of making me like these characters; the MCU CGI sheen feels bizarrely obvious (seriously, this was nominated for a Visual Effects Oscar®?); and Tony Leung is wasted as "the real Mandarin." Skewer me if you want, but I'd much rather re-watch Iron Man Three. At least Ben Kingsley was funny in that one.
