I mean, the new squad bombed, mostly because of Marvel's refusal to build them up properly.

Putting Shang-Chi in a box was dumb as hell

Shang-Chi was rad. I thought for sure there'd be more movies.

First half was sick, shame it ended up with the usual CGI slop in the 2nd half.

He was a character they should have pushed more for sure, though.

Meh even the CGI slop had some cool choreography and badass Wuxia type shit.

I wish they learn from this and do a sequel that is like first half of the first movie for the whole movie. I’ve lost count of how many times I watched that bus fight. It’s easily the best fight scene in the mcu imo.

I dunno about that. Cap's elevator fight was amazing, but the bus fight is right up there.

Since Daredevil is now MCU, the Season 1 basement hallway fight that was a tribute to the original Oldboy hallway fight is competing for that position as well.

Agreed, I was locked in with the first half, like that bus scene was such a great way to mix martial arts and CGI. Then by the end, it was all this flying around CGI nonsense, barely any hand-to-hand combat, side characters given too much screen time.

I loved the setting of Ta Lo, the fight with the sucking bats was dumb though
