Shang-Chi has certainly led an interesting life. His father wields the ten rings, making him mighty and immortal (he's over one thousand years old). His mother was from the hidden city of Ta Lo, but has since passed away. Shang-Chi was raised as a warrior and expected to do his father's bidding, but fled on his first mission, leaving his beloved sister behind. Ten years later, his father comes knocking with shocking news- mother is calling to him from beyond death's gate, and he will free her. But is this real? And if not, can Shang-Chi stop his father before it's too late?
I'm not familiar with the comics, but this one really fell flat to me. The second Marvel disappointment in a row (I wasn't thrilled with Black Widow either), this one had amazing visuals and action sequences but fell flat everywhere else- the story was poorly executed, character development lacking, and several bizarre plot points made for an unsatisfying (and, at times, ridiculous) experience.
