At long last, Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has held its Hollywood premiere, and is already garnering extremely positive reviews from those in attendance at Tinsel Town’s El Capitan Theater Monday night. While official reviews aren’t due out for another week or so, Disney allowed those in attendance to share their spoiler-free thoughts on social media in an attempt to generate some hyped for the movie.

Still over two weeks from release, hype shall be had because the reactions poring in are overwhelmingly positive.
“Shang-Chi is a movie that ended up on a ‘Wouldn’t It Be Great’ list where ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we could do this as a movie,’ probably twenty years ago,” Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige previously told Rotten Tomatoes. “It’s a great story of a young man that realizes his father is essentially one of the world’s greatest supervillains and one of the world’s greatest criminals. How do you process that? And how do you deal with that as a child? How do you evolve beyond that?”

#ShangChi is fantastic. It’s full of INCREDIBLE, beautifully choreographed fight scenes and full of badass women. Get ready to know Simu Liu’s name if you don’t already. Marvel has another hit on its hands. pic.twitter.com/3efV1kzJ7O

Distinct Vibe
I really dug #ShangChi! There is a lot not in the trailers (maybe avoid ads in the next couple of weeks I fear will show more?) and it has its own vibe and distinct elements that make it stand out and not feel like a standard origin story. And Simu Liu makes for an awesome hero.
