Shang-Chi, Was it a good movie? and how well did it set up Doomsday?

First before we look at both our questions we will look at how I reviewed it.

In my review I gave it 4 out of 5 stars and wrote “horrible greens screens but good VFX, loved the premise of it and fighting scenes, over all a good movie.”

Many of the reviews I have read on Imdb speak the same about the VFX and how it’s a good movie.

Surprisingly good

I'll be honest - Marvel movies are not in my top 20 or even 50 but within the Marvel "Universe" I would say that Shang-Chi is in my top 5. I know, it's blasphemy and all that but think about it - is it better than Iron Man? I would admit yes - it's origin story is arguably better, and it's characters are a lot deeper. The Mandarin is a conflicted man, with evil but good as well, like real life. Is this movie better than The Avengers or Ragnarok or Infinity Wars? Hard to say, which means it's right up there with the best (of Marvel) in my opinion.Plus, I'm a sucker for Chinese movies with the Chinese language being spoken - 1 of my favourite of all times, if not my absolute favourite, is of course 'Hero.' The Chinese language and the artistry of it's culture are magnificent.All in all, well done Marvel, director Destin, and all those who worked to make this movie a reality. This is not just your average summer action movie; it's close to being a Masterpiece. And the humour is pretty swell too!

Another review says;

Simu Liu Brought It

Really entertaining movie. Actors were great Simu Liu brought it big time he is excellent as the main character. Awkwafina is hilarious and I wish she had more screen time. As far as Marvel movies goes, it's not the best one but still very good.

Onto its doomsday set up. I think it does well to set up doomsday very well I know so many people always ask why the shang-chi post credit scene is what it is, but I think it could be helping to set up dooms day and make shang-chi a big power house in the

MCU. I think he already is a very good hero and I will be excited to see him in doomsday.

Over all people think this movie is good and lives up to expectations, definitely not my personal favorite but it is up there on my list even though its one of the last MCU movies I needed to watch. It could have been better in places but still, a good movie.
