After I missed it in Theaters, I caught it on Streaming. Was it a missed kick or a dragon kick?
The Good
* The Film has a large, epic Plot that features strong Characterizations and motivations.
* The Action Scenes are quite fun and shot more dynamically than many other Marvel Films.
They're shot more like Kung-Fu Films, you know.
* The Film is a visual delight, giving us great locations, fantastical sights and big fight effects.
* Simu Liu has a strong, sometimes subtle confidence that makes him a good Lead. I need to see more.
* We get a number of callbacks and references to the MCU, from subtle background bits to a returning Character that somebody demanded.
The Bad
* The Plot takes an odd turn or two as the Third Act, going into Fantasy you'd expect from a Wuxia Film. It may not be for everyone.
* As good as making the bad guy somewhat relatable is, it might also make you not root against him. Is it bad to be this nuanced?
* All of the world-building for the MCU is going to happen in other Films.
