Shang-Chi And The Legends of The Ten Rings: Let’s start off with the trailer shall we
So in this film we start off in a creative way…..it starts off is the first 10 min is in Japanese which I find creative in my opinion, in these 10 min we learn that Xu Wenwu aka the Mandarin conquered lands for centuries using these 10 bracelets on his wrists called the 10 rings yeah let’s talk about that quickly so the developers decided to change the 10 rings into bracelets because they thought the fans would be to stupid to be able to tell the difference between 10 rings and the infinity stones, yeah don’t ask me how….anyways so Wenwu falls in love with a woman he tries attacking they end up falling in love and marring then having a son and a daughter….well get to that later so later in future in modern days our main character named Shang-Chi is living in San Francisco with a lady friend of his named Katy, and they both work as Valle people at a hotel where they park peopled cars for them….but unfortunately some guy gives his car to the 2 most irresponsible people on this planet these 2 people because Katy decides to take it out for a joy ride which Shang-Chi joins….oh how wonderful u guys act like kids….btw if u think that’s weird well after there job they say maybe we should go home and go to bed u know be responsible but nope instead they lolo get this go to karaoke night and sing the night away lolo sorry I loved that scene it makes me laugh
Anyway so next day when they head to work on the bus a group of henchmen who works for Wenwu tells Shang-Chi it’s time to come back plus there gonna need the necklace he has….don’t worry it’s important for later….he refuses heck even Katy says u got the wrong man but he shows off his mad kung-fu skills and damn this is where the film gains my attention because this film sets itself up to be less of a superhero film and more of a martial arts film which I like that….so good job, btw this entire fight scene cracks me up because while he’s fighting the henchmen a group of people start taking there phones out and one of them starts live recording what’s going on lolo…..priorities aren’t I right?….so anyways after this he goes home tells Katy he has to go locate his sister that he has a sister he comes from a family of a gang called the ten rings lead by the Mandarin….so Katy says she’s coming along….ok then so they leave and go to China to find his sister….where they find out she runs a underground fighting ring where they get a glimpse of get this Wong and Abomination fighting in the wmring uh oh…
Anyways somehow Shang-Chi gets duped into getting into the ring to fight someone turns out that someone is his sister so they both fight each other…..afterwards they ask for her help, which then the Mandarins men come in to attack them…here for the next uh 7 min we get a cool martial arts fight on the side of the outside of the building, then the Mandarin comes in and says where going home so they go home and they bring Katy with them……so over dinner Wenwu tells them about his plan get this everyone he wants to use the 2 necklaces bis kids have to go put it into a mountain in a special hidden valley that people have trouble locating so he can free his wife because he hears her voice….screaming out to him….uh huh u sure ur not going insane? Actually funny enough he is turns out if u wear those rings to long they do drive u little mad and attracts the attention of an ancient evil….wonder if that be important for later
Also, Wenwu references the Mandarin from iron man 3….he says people in America hired an actor to pretend he was me and call him the Mandarin, hehehe people were afraid of an orange……oh haha we get it because Mandarin is another word for an orange
Anyway, so our main characters don’t agree to go with this plan so he locks them up In a cell where guess who they find? That’s right it’s the Mandarin aka Travis from Iron Man 3 still played by Ben Kingsly….anyways he’s holding a mystical creature in his hands, so anyways they escape from the cell and head to the hidden village….so they make it there they warn everyone about the threat that about to come so they defend the city because they can’t allow the Mandarin to open that evil gate
Also Shang-Chi reveals to Katy that the reason he left his dad is well 1 he was ans still is evil but 2 thr night there mother died, he wasn’t home to save her the reason she died is because he passed someone off so they came for revenge and wanted Wenwu dead but since he wasn’t there they decided to kill the mother instead because I guess that’s how that works I guess…so he blammed his son for many years also he put his son through tense training until the day came he located his mother’s killer and was sent to go kill the guy but after he did so he ran off to San Francisco where he lived with Katy but in doing so he left his sister behind who he promised he’d be back…..he would always watch over her, but for those years he was gone the sister was left alone with her dad who didn’t care for her….wow that’s harsh and that’s just depressing but Katy is a great friend she supports Shang-Chi that’s sweet
Anyways, he and the ten rings group make it there and they go into a battle, btw guess who joins the battle….a dragon lolo also Katy join the battle she’s using a spear……anyways the fight continues but Wenwu goes to the gate, and opens it up releasing the evil anyways also Shang-Chi fights his dad first but as soon as he opens the gate up and evil comes through so it kills Wenwu but before he dies he hands Shang-Chi the rings….so now he has them….anyways so he and dragon are able to push back the evil behind the wall and save the day the end………so they both return to San Francisco, go to a bar to drink but then a portal opens up and Wong comes through calling out for Shang-Chi and tells him they nedd to follow him so do they….also there’s 2 post credits scenes here’s the first one
Where Shang-Chi is at the sanctuary where banner and carol Danvers are on Skype call trying to figure out the mysterious markings on the rings which they can’t figure out so that’s weird….oh well that can be figured out later instead for now Shang-Chi and Katy and Wong go to karaoke night and sing the hotel California song lolo such a lovely place such a lovely place lolo….the second end credits scene is of thr sister becoming the new Mandarin
So overall I actually loved this film I truly did I highly recommend it I enjoyed myself…..I’ll give it a solid 10/10 it’d worth a watch
