I didn't know what to expect when this showed up on Disney +. I was looking for some light hearted fare. That's what I got. A coming of age teen action/fantasy drama with an Asian protagonist and a great Asian cast. It was well done. A mix of fantasy and some real teen issues as well as a mild glance at the racism that Asians experience in American society today. Not enough to depress or anger anyone. Some heartwarming moments. Some predictability. Since I have zero knowledge of the comics or mythology referenced and zero knowledge of any Chinese language, I was able to enjoy it fully.
I understand now that there are those who will have problems with the way they comic book characters were portrayed. Also some complaints about proper Chinese accents. That's pretty standard now anytime Hollywood brings superheroes and super villians to the screen. This was a pretty well thought out film. The anti diversity police will not be happy. I say Keep going Disney!
