Early Shang-Chi Reviews By Asian Critics

I reviewed #ShangChi for Empire Magazine! I've been reading this magazine since I was a kid, so this means a lot to write for this place. https://t.co/EYKETCSeBi

REVIEW – #ShangChi is a triumph! A fiercely ASIAN AMERICAN superhero film that brings Hong Kong martial arts to the #MCU in an action packed, surprisingly hilarious, character driven film! They did it! #Marvel https://t.co/nU9FOESIDF

🚨🚨 Square up! Here is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for #ShangChi on @JumpCut_Online, “a blockbuster full of grace and values.”

This is also your chance to learn 2 Vietnamese adages on parenthood. That, to me, is the film’s soul & a permit to talk more about Tony Leung. #FilmTwitter #AAPI [1/2] https://t.co/8finS0RA1I

With a fresher take on an origin story and representation that matters, #ShangChi is well worth watching. @TheJonathanSim's review: https://t.co/FfHUvF9ggg

It took a while for me to organize my thoughts on #ShangChi, but one thing is for sure, the Asian community can finally see their stories be told through the Marvel lens. It’s an amazing leap forward in expanding the #MCU. #wenwu My review at @ThatsITLA https://t.co/NXNGtAQbNp

I wrote about #ShangChi and how it relates to the Asian American experience – a tragedy about fathers, sons, and the weight of filial expectations. Kinetic action with a voice, and the fanfare around @SimuLiu and Tony Leung is well-deserved.https://t.co/m31MEqaPOF

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a confident introduction to Marvel’s first Asian superhero, delivering the MCU’s best fight choreography and one of its most emotionally complex villains.

Shang-Chi, as the first Asian American superhero to headline a film in the MCU, is a worthy addition to the pantheon & Hollywood as a whole. I also loved seeing a new group of badass Asian women ready to shake up the movie-verse. Here's my review for @io9 https://t.co/eSmf5crXVF

#ShangChi is an arresting family drama that blends in fantastical creature effects and high-flying, ethereal wushu to devastating and gorgeous effect. Read our review. https://t.co/OC86dVkquK

When I stepped out of the theater, I had really liked #ShangChi! But as I wrote my review I wondered, did I like the movie, or did I like seeing Tony Leung in all his charismatic glory? My review for @slashfilm: https://t.co/4q57T6QFlm
