My personal opinion

I personally love this movie and would rate it a solid 10/10. 

I remember I could not stop laughing while watching it in cinemas. Ben Kingsley was HILARIOUS in the film.

I also love the friendship between Shang-Chi and his best friend Katy in the movie. Awkwafina was also GREAT in the film. 

My favourite quotes from the film are....
