Analysis:
For the first time a Marvel movie has a Asian martial arts touch. The movie has a different type of representation from the rest of the Marvel movies released so far. Director Cretton has used the commercial formula of Asian movies.
Simu Li goes through various stages of transformation as the hero and he has done his part well. The action sequences are all choreographed well. Each character and each fight has a personality expressed through a style of fighting. The movie is visually appealing and has a neat story as well. Overall Marvel has succesfully added a new hero to its kitty.
Rating : 4/5
