Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
梁朝伟好帅！打戏很多前半段都还不错直到去了世外桃源，最后打怪兽太无聊太俗套了。6.5分，作为爆米花电影合格，比wakanda好多了，但也就这样了。
挺失望吧。本来期待的是十环牢牢锁住Simu Liu的双手与双脚，Tony Leung凑近他长满胡渣的潮红的脸颊用气声念道，“尚气，爸爸吃过的盐比你吃过的饭还要多”，结果最后又给我整了一出金刚大战哥斯拉，累了。
男女主的主角光环比十环厉害多了，比如奥卡菲娜一箭穿喉就拿了个十环的成绩。
满大人的坑能填真的舒服，父子故事也算完整也不俗套，蛮好的。妈妈的演员就选的很美啊，所以Awkwafina的参演怎么能说侮辱华人呢，Awk一向以演技取胜好吗，演的挺好的，比妹妹好多了，不愧是Awk。
全片几乎没有外景自然光线，都是棚拍特效画面，明显的游戏CG质感。开场十环和映丽的打戏居然也做出旋转慢镜效果，在大罗村的景别和怪兽仅仅是勉强及格的水准。这部是近十年漫威电影里，质量最接近大陆国产奇幻电影的一次。
之前大家讨论度很高的ruhua其实还好，里面更多是一种自嘲在，没至于到戳肺管子。最让我无语的还是an American girl saved the world，对着元华被抓走都只能干瞪眼的美国人，突然灵光闪现拯救所有成为战斗转逆点，主角打打斗斗抵不过人家一箭封喉😅整套戏由这开始急转直下，主角光环从此在我脑海模糊，who was the protagonist😅❓
没有任何刻板印象，全程充满了对中国文化的尊重和理解。很难想象能有一部一半以上对白都是标准普通话的漫威电影。
去掉刻板东方文化的壳子就是个冒险片，但是剧本没有很敷衍或者很大的硬伤，武打和特效也在线，这就比《长城》《花木兰》之流强多了，观感接近《功夫之王》，长辈爱说教，奇珍异兽满地跑，21世纪了穿着魔改汉服住山里大宅子，小兵整一群黑衣忍者，东方龙面露凶相……好莱坞拍别人文化的电影可真容易啊，都不用深入当地文化仔细研究，拍出来的东西本地人都能欣然接受，其他国的人更会认为你国文化就是这样，为弘扬本国文化而努力创新却因为细节不符被指指点点的人只会深深感到无奈
②请忽略男女主颜值
虽是标准套路漫威系列电影，但让角色做到说中文，发音还挺标准，龙也不是坏东西了；形式上回忆部分采用了不可靠的叙述，不断展现真相；特效部分虽奇观式也很精彩，所以不让在国内上映，确实有些大可不必！梁朝伟是真老了，而且现在刘思慕身边好小只啊。陈法拉是真很恬静的那种美，除了有点缺乏记忆点外，真的不错。刘思慕确实有些发鳃，但身高与动作还是可圈可点的。奥菲卡娜女演谐星确实不容易，而且他演得越来越好，就是仪态需要注意一下。尚气的妹妹好飒啊，尤其澳门打斗那段，被吸引到了，确实比男主要有魅力，妹妹可以单独搞个电影！杨紫琼真是宝刀未老，太佩服了！我看到那个演员时我都惊呆了，那不是本金斯利吗？！我才发现中国人的世外桃源生活，不就是小国寡民的自给自足的小农生活吗？！
娱乐性很足，加州旅馆和王加大分，中西混搭很尽力了但是还是很让人恼火，中文英语一放一起就抽象得不得了
Talo的美术风格真的很像王者荣耀？梁朝伟感觉其实也就是个常规的中国爹？看个热闹还是挺好的，能把满大人这么圆回来也不差
不能说难看，只能说毫无新意——西方可真爱弑父这个题材；倒是动作场面的确不错，整部电影与其说是拍给我们看的，不如说是拍给游离于双重文化的abc——从这个角度来看，就有意思多了。当然，最离谱的肯定是杨紫琼对着刘思慕说你长得真像陈法拉。P.S.女性几乎承担了片子一大半的功能性角色。
中西大杂烩，至少很欢乐。打戏很不错，起源电影能排前三的。这里面感觉就陈法拉中文说的最好。。。
打戏和最后龙的特效真的好好看。
尚气的上映在asian American群体里可以说是个大事 甚至有人直接买光一个影院然后给粉丝送票的 除了显而易见的演员例如亚裔演员和东方元素 还有就是在院线停止一年多之后此片的数据好坏是 对于亚裔电影人们的事业有着很大影响的 亚裔演员和东方元素在漫威在好莱坞出现的影响又goes all the way back to representation
由成龍、《臥虎藏龍》到《別告訴她》奧卡菲娜一代的亞裔影視既視感，就像《黑豹》最動人處是反派心裡一直記掛奧克蘭小社區，那《尚氣》是電影中能自然生成亞裔文化感性，與英雄電影看來無法結合的陰性描述。設想是紐約街頭成長的美籍華裔們，所浸淫混合文化世界裡，並從聽小時候溫柔母親口中神秘又古怪的家鄉傳說，以及渴望與其實看來不怎麼壞，只不過寂寞又一直在外打拼而有所隔膜，（還要像周慕雲）老父可和解。尚氣質問父親，就算母親沒有死，就算她真的被困在家鄉，你以為救她出來，她又會回到你身邊嗎？同樣對孝道、父子對立，善惡的認知與描寫，骨子裡對個人價值的肯定是現代的，令這部披着東方元素、關於身份、家庭衝突與成長的奇幻英雄電影，在無法擺脫某種樣版之下，不至於陳舊與迂腐，亦是中國奇幻影視依然無法達到對角色的描述與深度。
各位漫威姐妹可以放心食用！
剧情舒服，没有政治问题，国内不让上映大概率是怕特效细节吊打各种武侠电影吧
