The Marvel movie with the highest rating on Rotten Tomatoes

“Shang-Chi” introduced the title character, played by the handsome Simu Liu, as the son of an immortal gangster named Xu Wenwu (Tony Leung). Shu was granted immortality through ten magic bracelets that he wore up and down his arms, and could be controlled with his mind. Shang-Chi was trained in martial arts as a boy and was expected to be an assassin for Xu, but Shang-Chi left the family business over ethical objections and became a servant in San Francisco. Shang-Chi’s backstory is slowly revealed to his best friend Katy (Awkwafina) after the two encounter high-octane super soldiers on the street one morning.

What follows is a complex Marvel adventure involving a magical bamboo forest, deadly dragons, a resentful sister, a hidden kingdom, and a portal to Hell. Michelle Yeoh has a small role, and Ben Kinsley returns as Trevor in Iron Man 3.

“Shang-Chi” was well reviewed, with an approval rating of 92%, based on 344 reviews. No one included it among their best lists of the year, but almost everyone agreed. Moreso, several people logged on to Rotten Tomatoes to give it a positive rating, giving it a 98% audience rating, which is now called Popcornmeter. More than 10,000 people have liked it. However, one may want to treat this number with caution; One does not have to watch the movie to give it a positive or negative score on Popcornmeter. In fact, some films tend to be bombarded with criticism by online “fans” who simply want to move the needle on films they object to, without anyone seeing them.

But 98% is still impressive, even with salt.

In terms of critical rating, “Shang-Chi” is the ninth highest rated in the MCU, behind “Thor: Ragnarok” (93%), “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (93%), and “The Guardians.” From “Galaxy Holiday Special” (94%), “Avengers: Endgame” (94%), “Iron Man” (94%), “Agents of SHIELD” (95%), “Black Panther” (96%), and “Ms. Marvel” (98%).
