I might've given it 2.5* but Google wouldn't let me. The sidekick character was surprisingly un-annoying and provided most of the laughs in the movie--for which there's a lot, and are probably the best upside to the movie. Great fight choreography is ruined by garishly obvious CGI. The CGI is just insultingly bad. When they reach Ta Lo, it looks like a Skittles commercial FFS. There's a LOL moment that reminded me of The Neverending Story and I couldn't shake it. Just disappointing overall.

I liked parts of the film but as a whole; it simply wasn't my cup of tea. The Matrix meets Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon. The father son dynamic was interesting to see. You don't get much of a clear "father bad guy/son good guy" thing. Unfortunately the little sister daughter who feels left out is exactly that in throughout movie. I almost thought she'd have a better place in Black Widow as a widow or in Ant-Man 3 ally or enemy to Wasp

The visuals of this movie are breathtaking. The choregraphy during the fight scenes was so beautilfully put together and was unlike anything I've seen. The plot moved at the perfect pace while still mainting room to build suspense, the storyline was easy to understand and follow. Even though this is the first movie with Shang-chi and a few other characters, connections to them have already been built. Marvel set a new bar for themselves that I assume is now too high.
