Synopsis
Drawn into a hidden world of myth and martial arts, a young man must face his past and the powerful legacy he tried to escape
Review
Vibrant and fast-paced with slick choreography and strong supporting performances, though the emotional core doesn’t always hit as hard as it should. The film leans into fantasy spectacle at the expense of its more intimate themes, losing focus in the final act. Enjoyable, but stretched thin by the end.
This movie is part of our complete MCU retrospective.
