Dazzling fight scenes and wild fantasy action propel this martial arts superhero flick. The family drama is surprisingly engaging similar to Black Widow. There is a lot of imagination and creativity with the different action scenes and the different creatures that appear in the film.
Simu Liu is likable if a bit bland as the protagonist. Awkwafina is actually not that annoying as his friend and sidekick. The standout is Tony Leung. He is very good as the villainous Mandarin (the real one as they explain).
The fight choreography is some of the best in the entire MCU. And it doesn’t cut away from the action like Snake Eyes did. In fact, this does play out like a far superior version of that movie.
