Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Joe the Plumber wanted to see a movie, and we settled on Shang-Chi, because we didn't know anything about it. 

We went to the IMAX theater in Elk Grove in mid-afternoon, and discovered we were the only people in the theater. 

I was sad to learn it was a movie in the Marvel Universe. I hate the Marvel Universe.  You have to know extraneous details about the Universe first in order to understand the movie, but it was already too late. 

More or less OK movie. I liked Akwafina in her role - the girl sidekick, just like in Crazy Rich Asians.

Good special effects. The plot was so tired, though - the Empire Strikes Back again, and again, and again.

One thumb up.
