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".
作为虎迷+漫威迷的我而言，真的是等的望眼欲穿，虽然效果还是不尽如人意，但能看到就好。这大概是最没有存在感的漫威英雄了，所谓的十环好像也没啥特别的功能，而这十环帮感觉还没洪兴人多，得亏了梁朝伟的出现，让这部电影在情感层面不至于太过单薄，但也正是这样导致电影失衡更加明显，当伟仔深邃的眼神遇上表情木讷的尚气，让人很难去理解这个英雄的做法。不过东方元素的运用还是比花木兰好些，至少那条龙血统够纯正。
在美国的电影院看普通话电影，华裔英雄骑着中式巨龙斩恶魔，我们就是龙的传人
Destin Cretton讲故事还是扎实的，父母爱情贯始至终grounded本片，文戏武戏都不错，故事线和人物动机清晰，光这点就强过太多商业片了。梁朝伟继灭霸后最佳反派，加上Awkwafina，就是各种艳压男主。(看完彩蛋意识到marvel has become the equivalent of tiktok for me omg
选角确实不好看，但眼睛并不小，满大人也解释了名字，整体下来没发现啥大毛病啊
【特效双语】《集结：尚气与十环传奇幕后制作》花絮特辑BV1QY411H7tQ 2021/12/23
小时候，妈妈给了尚气一本天龙八部，习得斗转星移再加上乾坤大罗移打败了老爸，然后又从星爷那儿学会了从天而降的掌法，叫做龟派气功，加上技能拈花指打败了噬魂怪。整个感受就像看到神龙却没有爪子一样总感觉缺点啥
感谢西方审美，让我在超级英雄主角身上看到了一张跟我一样的普通人的脸
能预料到这多半就是一道电影版的左宗棠鸡，但实际看下来的尴尬程度还是超出了预期。浅表的符号堆积配上漫威的流水线模板，剧本的直给程度直追八、九十年代的二流港片，至于摄影、美术、后期特效这些，最多最多只能算行活水准。撇开银幕外的各种争吵，以最平和的心态评价《尚气》也不过是：乏味，庸俗，不尴不尬。硬要凑优点也不是没有，梁朝伟的表演着实没跌份儿，刘思慕的口音比预想中好不少。
梁朝伟太帅了 高潮部分跟姐妹互摇对方在电影院直喊牛 鸡皮疙瘩起一身 片尾居然有两个彩蛋 还好没早离场
没看出来哪里辱华了，仅仅是男女主角选角审美不符合东方审美罢了。看在他们说中文的份上我觉得也没那么讨厌了。老王的出现真是让我眼前一亮，陈法拉那么多年了还是那么好看。
不提剧情和设定，这个东方龙的特效是我看过最炫酷和生动的了
要说的太多就不写短评了，直接播客串台见吧。一句话：梁朝伟，世界第一的爹地。
梁朝伟连演个超英反派都这么迷人，印象中确实很少看他演父亲。
真丧气，我吃过的盐比你吃过的饭还多？我看过的烂片，比你看过的新闻联播还多。特效经费烧出来这么个东西。远离尘世的桃花源很有国际范，竟然会中英双语。武术设计像是双人现代舞。
强烈安利尚气！想看爽片的同学，全片一场接一场打戏每一个都设计得不一样，有视效很炫、让人眼花缭乱的那种，也有借鉴东方武术，刚柔并济的王家卫式美学。想看内涵的同学，本片对中西文化的融合真是really one of its kind，特别有意思。
褪去超级英雄的外衣，这片子本质上就是一个家庭片，格局甚至不如《黑豹》，且叙事风格的内核杂糅倾向严重。尽管这里面存在着大量的中文对白，但这对白很显然是美国人期待用英语去理解的，犹如《卧虎藏龙》那样，虽然在动作元素以及人物场景设计存在着大量的中国风，但故事的内核依旧是美国人的套路，父亲犯错，儿女补锅，这要放在中国就得是百善孝为先，而这里面的儿子为了世界和平居然连我要杀了我爹这种话都能说的出口，这方面的思路差异其实就很明显了。梁朝伟这个角色实际上算是成功的，人物的情绪和情感线相对比较完整，甚至在他教导他儿子去报仇我都觉得这是一个理所应当的思路，但是故事的展开也确实以此为分水岭，尚气并没有去杀人，反而害怕躲起来了，这里面的心理变化欠缺说服力，但却让梁朝伟的角色魅力更为充实。ps.杨紫琼眼神有点差啊
身為漫威迷每部都去電影院，除黑寡婦。很推薦尚氣去電影院看。 當下看完也覺得乳滑，但漫威電影一直都是在宣傳美弟價值觀的 不是嗎？ 看電影本來就是寓教於樂，
还凑合。看得出来已经非常努力的在加中国元素了，小心翼翼的把所有雷区全都避开了，奈何定义权这件事不能商量
两星半。再好的演员也cover不来的全面崩坏的剧情逻辑。我真的脑子里槽点太多塞住了吐不出来了
【YVR-5th】三星半。很中规中矩的英雄寻找自我的故事，但完成度蛮高的，对中国文化很尊重，对可能敏感的话题也处理的很好。
