Finally an Asian superhero! 💪😀 Been hearing rave reviews and watched the trailer a couple of times has got me excited and definitely gonna catch the movie. And the best person to watch with is none other than my movie buddy, Cindy. We must have telepathy, she started to asked me before I could do so. 😊 We set a date to go on my special day 21 September. (Alright, I know this is a much delayed blog that I wanted to write but either didn't have the mood or time to do so. haha.)
Part of the reason that I wanted to watch the movie being also because one of my favourite thespians, Tony Leung was in it. His first Hollywood movie. I was curious how Tony would act out this villain character. Well, he never disappoints. As the lead actor who plays Shang-Chi, Simu Liu puts it - he uses his eyes to act. And also could tell that he put in a lot of effort in his english dialogue. It paid off. He spoke so well in the film.
I particularly like the scenes between SImu Liu and Awkwafina. They have such natural chemistry, And definitely after this many people came to know about Simu, including me. 😊 My movie buddy, Cindy said that she finds Simu Liu and Tony Leung look alike, really look like Father & Son. LOL. But it was sad that Tony's character, Wenwu died in the end. He saved Shang-Chi, bequeathing him the rings before being killed by the Dweller-in-Darkness.
With the fight sequence and action-packed from beginning to end, its quite a fun ride I must say. There's not a single of dull moment. The graphic were amazing too, particularly the towards the ending scene of the dragons. The CGI looked very realistic and not like in some cheapo asian ones that I seen before. But then, its Hollywood. They have the best technology for effects, CGI and animation.
And lastly, of course were the amazing cast. Other than Simu Liu, Tony Leung and Awkwafina, there's Michelle Yeoh, Fala Chen, Zhang Meng'er and Sir Ben Kingsley.
This has gotta be one of the best films in 2021. I'm looking forward to the next one. 😊
