In what is the first real entry into Phase 4 of the MCU’s film releases, Marvel’s latest blockbuster, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, had its World Premiere on Monday evening and social reactions are flooding in. What’s the take so far? Some are calling the movie “phenomenal and integral”
Official reviews aren’t due out for another week or so, but Disney is welcoming spoiler-free reactions online.
In many ways it feels like the least MCU movie of the MCU, and I think a lot of people will really love that. It’s a great standalone adventure/origin story and now I’m excited to see how Shang-chi fits into the future of this cinematic universe.

#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

#ShangChi is such a personal, family story at its core. That’s when it’s at its best.
The third act is full of surprises but sometimes is a little crazier than is needed. Ultimately delivers epic action and the intimate moments to land. Big MCU stuff.

Wow, #ShangChi hooked me! Funny, visually stunning, just dazzling. @SimuLiu blows it out of the park as does @awkwafina. Also, gotta shout out Tony Leung just because. @Marvel @Disney https://t.co/SwAyVUUBkk

#shangchi is like no Marvel movie you’ve seen. Love that it opens the door to a new world that I can’t wait to see more of. @SimuLiu literally kicks so much ass and he is perfectly cast. Got to see it in @imax tonight and this is how you want to see it. Looked and sounded perfect pic.twitter.com/43SaSxfx3m
