So, he's been around for a while. Marvel took a big chance making a movie with a headline character that most of the MCU audience will have never heard of and does not come with a tagline of 'superhero'.
The release of the movie was joint cinema and online streaming which created much of a stir. The fate which also fell to BLACK WIDOW and caused major upsets.
So, the movie did not arrive under the best conditions which is a shame because this is a good film. Plenty of really good choreographed action sequences mixed with some nice humorous moments.
Characters and nods to previous movies, and a mid end credits sequence keep the movie grounded in the MCU. |
I watched this on Friday when it appeared on Disney+, I wasn't really paying attention to the buzz or lack of and didn't even really know what to expect so when the majority of it was performed in Mandarin I was pleasantly surprised. Then when Michelle Yeoh popped up midway through I might have said "Yeahhhh!" out loud to my TV screen
Really enjoyed it!!
