Great film overall, would recommend seeing
I enjoyed this film very much. The visual effects and story were 4/5.
There are a couple moments that led me to eye roll, namely when they end up in Ta Lo and their Aunty makes an anti-patriarchy statement about the women being treated equally and training right along with the men. It wasn't enough to ruin the film, but I didn't feel it was necessary to halt the plot just to make this point.
I'm glad that the father had a redeeming moment, rather than completely trashing his legacy.
In all, I would recommend this movie. It has a great plot and ties in nicely to the larger MCU.

I legit thought this was the best Marvel movie in a long time I’ve watched so far (until I watched Spider-Man: No Way Home which was legit awesome). The story plot was very interesting and captivating. It was woke free in my opinion. An enjoyable movie for sure.

Surprisingly refreshing film considering Disney's descent into oblivion
Disney have been putting out some awful shows and films recently, but one for me that bucked that trend was this movie. I found it refreshing to explore a superhero that traverses across West to East as I enjoy the juxtaposition of those two cultures.
Katy's character is pretty good considering the actress can be very annoying in real life. I can't help but wonder a girl-best friend is to give some female representation, but that doesn't really bother me as she's not automatically a badass for no reason like some newer films treat female characters, so no complaints there. The most woke element is the 1-dimensional sister character who's girl-bossed her own way to the top of her empire on her own with no man helping her. Her character is unlikeable and seems uptight and as a viewer, I don't particularly care about her.
The woke elements are easy to overlook in this film making it mildly woke for me.
