evolved-48563 - 10 January 2023 Geared towards younger children Young teens and pre-teens will no doubt be largely engrossed in this flashy film featuring serious and goofy characters as well as parental issues, typically of the "I hate dad" variety.
I also couldn't escape the feeling that Disney felt compelled to produce a Wakanda for Asians, not that it bothered me but it did seem derivative. On a more positive note, seeing reasonably well executed CGI representations of ancient Chinese mythological beasts was enjoyable.
My finger found the fast forward button on the remote in the first 1/2 and I used it liberally after that. You might think that disqualifies my review but it was mainly boilerplate exposition that I skipped.
roeelo - 19 November 2022 Major surprise! Legends, dragons, monsters - you'll find it all in this movie.
Fantastic battle scenes, and very well presented story line. The early scence in the bus was just the begining of this great adventure/action movie.
Personally I love the Asian story line, with the Far East scenic including the small details.
Marvel always knows how to have guest appearance, and here it's no different. As this movie is part of Marvel's Phase Four, it connects perfectly with the other movies that stated this phase.
Highly recommended, if you can watch it on the big screen it will be even better as the graphics and action scenes are just superb.
