Our opinion on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) :
A UFO combining martial arts and the Marvel universe, Shang-Chi is the (very) pleasant surprise of the new season in terms of entertainment.
With excellent ratings from American viewers (91% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing), the latest Marvel film fits in well with the studio's new narrative arc, with its traditional end scenes. All the while remaining captivating and (admittedly) very funny.
Legends Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh make notable appearances. A must-see for both action and Marvel fans.
