Honestly, just a damn solid movie. Some of the absolute best action sequences in the entire MCU—including the instant classic bus scene—and with a script that’s funny at times and has a ton of heart. Kevin Feige and company totally nailed it when casting Simu Liu, who is a natural in the title role, an Tony Leung as Wenwu is one of the most layered villains in the franchise’s 13-year run. Sure, some of the usual problems are there—some overlong training montages and a bit of incoherent CGI—but ultimately the movie is really, really, fun, and should probably be even more fun upon rewatch.

MCU understanding needed? This one takes place after Avengers: Endgame, so some references to those events are made. There are also more than a handful of references to Iron Man and Iron Man 3, of all movies, so knowledge of those will help. And there are a few more cameos from throughout the MCU (both in the movie and during the credits scenes) that would help to understand all of what’s happening. But all that being said, it’s also a movie that—for the most part—would make sense without any MCU context. Just a really good action movie.
