Early Shang-Chi critic reactions call it ‘phenomenal’ and ‘integral to MCU Phase 4’

The first Shang-Chi reviews are in for the anticipated next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the response has been stellar so far, with comments calling the movie “phenomenal” and even “the best superhero film of 2021 so far.” The early Shang-Chi reactions from critics and influencers were posted on social media following the movie’s premiere last night, and it looks like fans are in for another success with the newest Marvel Studios hero.

What do the first Shang-Chi reviews say?

First Shang-Chi reviews

The first Shang-Chi critic reactions are in, and they have been incredibly positive so far. Despite the release date for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings being September 3, the movie’s premiere was last night, with a lot of press and influencers being invited. While the review embargo still isn’t up yet, and press previews not coming until later this week, a number of the critics who were invited shared their impressions on social media — and are universally positive so far.

Influencer Brandon Davis was one of the few to offer any criticisms at all, suggesting that the final act is a little bit “crazier” than was needed. Otherwise, his reaction was one of glowing praise, also noting that the movie’s action was “absurdly epic.” He also called it “loads of fun” and “integral to MCU Phase 4” — possibly as a note towards the post-credits scene, which usually offers big teases for the next Marvel movies and Disney Plus shows coming up. Black Widow’s credits scene featured a major hint towards the Hawkeye TV show and Shang-Chi itself, so it’s possible Shang-Chi may play to the multiverse and even this year’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Shang-Chi will release in the US and UK on September 3, before following on Disney Plus 45 days later. In addition to bringing in the multiverse, the MCU may be building towards a Dark Avengers movie, so look out for any hints about either when Shang-Chi comes out next month.
