Finally got a chance to watch this over the weekend since I'm not doing theatrical.
Good, solid Marvel movie. Really liked how they translated the rings into the MCU. I think those will level up the character quite a bit from the comics. I thought Simu Liu did a nice job. His acting was a tad flat in some scenes, but I think that's partly due to still trying to figure out the character. Awkwafina was a smart choice because she was able to inject a nice balance of humor. Tony Leung was very good. Michelle Yeoh is an absolute treasure. Loved the fantasy/mystical elements and creature designs. Fight scenes were of course outstanding. The 3rd act did devolve into CGI overkill to a degree, but audiences have come to expect that level of action. 7.75/10. I'd probably rank it around #8 or #9 or so among Marvel movies. Looking forward to seeing more.
