The origin of everything
As a good origins film, the 25th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe explains the origin of the 10 rings, which are not related to what was seen in Iron Man and Iron Man 3 (although in the middle of the plot an old man returns acquaintance from Tony Stark’s latest solo adventure)
The Ten Rings are powerful artifacts with which Xu Wenwu makes his way across China to conquer everything in his path and establish the 10 Rings as a powerful organization operating in the shadows of the MCU.
The meeting between Wenwu and Li, an inhabitant of the community of Ta Lo, a town where martial arts and Asian mysticism live in harmony, is reason enough for the leader of The 10 Rings to leave the life of conqueror to which he was used
Wenwu and Li form a family with their sons Shang-Chi and Xialing, two brothers to whom the legacy of both parents remains through their Kung-Fu teachings, until the death of the mother, which divides the mother into pieces. family.
Simple life
This brings us to San Francisco, a year after the blip that returned to half the population, where we meet Shaun, Wenwu’s son who after 10 years in the United States, makes a living as a hotel valet parking, next to her unconditional friend, Kathy.
Everything changes when some mysterious men, sent by Wenwu, fight Shang-Chi to strip him of a pendant that his mother gave him before she died, in a spectacular battle sequence, which despite having emotions, does not prevent Razor from Fist get hold of this I said.
With the stolen jewel, Shang-Chi travels to Macau, next to Katy, to warn her sister Xialing, whom she has not seen in years, not knowing that she is one of the most powerful women in the region by establishing a kind of fight club, where we see Wong, from Doctor Strange, and Emil Blonsky, Abomination, from The Incredible Hulk, in a cameo of a couple of minutes.
Family meeting
After fighting once more with the emissaries of The Ten Rings, Wenwu manages to reunite with his children, especially with Shang-Chi, whom he seeks to assume the leadership of The 10 Rings and seek in Ta Lo the way to revive his mother.
The stay with the organization of the 10 rings brings us the return of another old acquaintance of the MCU, Trevor Slatery, the actor who under the command of Killian Aldrich posed as The Mandarin (For more reference we recommend the short All Hail the King, the short included on the Thor: The Dark World DVD and Blu-Ray).
With the escape from the hands of the 10 rings, Shang-Chi and company find the mystical town of Ta Lo, where Shang-Chi discovers his father’s true plans, to which the hero undertakes another path of discovery before facing his father
Applause and boos
The remarkable thing is the new addition of oriental culture and the colorful martial arts choreography. The point against Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is that it is a Chinese film with a Western stamp, which has elements that have been seen in films such as Mulan and Raya: The Last Dragon.
Marvel Studios throws the house out the window and presents who in the future will be integrated into a new lineup of The Avengers, presents a new hero, but does not prevent his female co-stars from taking part of the show.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a good movie that introduces us to the new signing of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it does not offer a different proposal to the origin films of La Casa de las Ideas, where the power of the hero still it is not fully explored.
The two post-credit scenes deserve a separate mention from this review with spoilers, especially the one shared by Shang-Chi and Katy with Wong, Bruce Banner and Captain Marvel, who are intrigued by the 10 rings.
