Valonqar Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 CALLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven't seen the movie but read the spoilers and I totally called it months and months ago heck since the director was announced that Captain Marvel would make an appearance mid-credit in this case cause Brie and Destin are BFFs!

SpiderByte Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I don't usually like Awkwafina but she was enjoyable here as comic relief. Although it becomes blatantly clear that the sole reason she goes on the adventure is so theres a justifiable reason why anybody speaks English in the movie whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Atreides Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Spoiler Just letting people here know that me saying Tony Leung was the standout of the ensemble was a filthy lie. Ben Kingsley was the #1 here. Dude had me in stitches the whole time lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Really enjoyed the end credit and very funny ties considering the director. But I'm not sure how the other character is "back to normal"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertman2 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm so glad I didn't have Spoiler Ben Kingsley being a supporting character in this spoiled for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 There was a moment half way during the movie that I thought "This is lagging a little" and then I realized it's cause Tony Leung hadn't been on screen in five minutes. I'm a whore, okay. This is excellent. I have a lot of feelings, but this was good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseOfTheSun Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 “You can see Morris?” Has got to be the funniest line I’ve seen in a movie or tv show in a long time. tony Leung is a beast perhaps I need to watch his stuff from China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. I do wish they explained how he could understand the creature though. Also, I'm wondering if they're waiting until the sequel to explain the origins of the Ten Rings or if they'll have a bigger tie to the overall MCU.

Hero is probably one of his few Chinese films worth watching, I imagine similar action to Shang-Chi based on some of the more fantasy centric parts of the trailers (for Shang-Chi) Speaking of Tony Leung haven't seen the movie (for obvious reasons ) but saw an article about the director and cast talking about how a decent amount of the film is in Mandarin which I imagine is the language that Wenwu speaks the majority of the time. Makes those speculations that his English had been dubbed pretty hilarious in hindsight. Also the film being subtitle heavy makes it even more impressive that it is a crowd pleaser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exomassey Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I LOVED Ben Kingsley and Morris. They should have been in it more. They sort of come in and disappear towards the end. Hopefully they will appear in another project. Post credits: Also it was cool to see Cap Marvel and Bruce (Where Prof Hulk go?). However the Ten rings signal thing went over my head, at least tell us what’s it’s calling out too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but they could've waited until She-Hulk to revert him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHeartJames Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Finally watched it (my thoughts) - Simu was great in the role and I've noticed alot of these new heroes kinda have their own thing going on cuz I remember earlier alot of the newer marvel heroes would have a Tony Stark esque 'quippyness' about them. - I know people find Awkwafina "annoying" but I can't help but find her endearing. Katy was great to me and also she said alot of things that resonated with me personally especially when it came to not really knowing your path and just dropping things the moment they get even a little difficult - Tony Leung WOW!!!!! absolute powerhouse. Wenwu stole every scene and made you wish he was on screen whenever he wasn't - My personally favorite fight scene was Wenwu sparring with Ying Li (his wife). It was like a long romantic dance - Trevor and Morris were great. I want a Morris Plushie - I actually really enjoyed how mythical it got in the 3rd act, seeing all the different animals known in chinese mythology (i think) was very cool - I didn't see any issues with the CGI expect sometimes you can tell the layout was green screen but it never took me out of it - I LOVE LOVE Shang Chi's sister she whooped every inch of ass, took no shit and ended up on the throne (WE LOVE TO SEE IT) - I love how they utilized the ten rings. Theres a thousand and 1 uses for them and I enjoyed how they were used for either combat to step on, a weapon to fight with or to jump really far - The post credit scene was great because the movie didn't go to far in the origin of the ten rings and now we know they're sending a beacon of some kind 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
