Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is the 25th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the latest to receive a “Fresh” rating on the aggregate movie review site Rotten Tomatoes. With a current score of 92 percent on the site, Shang-Chi continues Marvel Studios’ streak of positively-reviewed MCU films.

Now, it can officially be said that all 25 MCU films have received a Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, from 2008’s Iron Man to this year’s Shang-Chi. In order to be considered Fresh, the overall amount of positive reviews has to make up at least 60 percent of all reviews listed for a title. It doesn't necessarily matter what the specific content of the reviews are — they are assessed and classified as either Fresh or Rotten.

The critics’ consensus for Shang-Chi on Rotten Tomatoes reads: “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings isn't entirely free of Marvel's familiar formula, but this exciting origin story expands the MCU in more ways than one.” Based on a current total of 130 reviews, 119 are considered Fresh. Since Shang-Chi’s Tomatometer score has consistently remained above 75 percent Fresh, it has earned the more prestigious title of “Certified Fresh.”

Other MCU movies to receive similarly high scores include Spider-Man: Far From Home and 90 percent, Black Widow at 80 percent, Black Panther at 96 percent, and Thor: Ragnarok at 93 percent. A majority of MCU movies dwell in this Certified Fresh range, with only a select few — such as Thor: The Dark World and The Incredible Hulk  — sitting at the lower end of the Fresh scale.

Here’s every MCU Rotten Tomatoes score:

  • Iron Man: 94
  • The Incredible Hulk: 67
  • Iron Man 2: 72
  • Thor: 77

It also makes us even more excited to catch Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings when it arrives in theaters this Friday, September 3.
