The Marvels

fresh

A perfectly enjoyable superhero flick. By comparison only, <em>'The Marvels'</em> is one of the weaker MCU movies (there are still 6 releases that I'd rank lower, mind) but there's still no doubting that I had fun with this one. Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani are a trio that work well together, Vellani is especially good.…

A lot of the hatred towards this movie was brought about by Marvel's lack of quality control in recent years, and perhaps rightfully so in terms of projects like Quantumania and Love & Thunder -- but this is, without a doubt, the most harmless and over-hated movie in this cinematic universe.…

After all the bad press about this movie, I finally watched it. I enjoyed the movie and don't think there was anything wrong with it. It's entertaining and has a bunch of action. I generally like most of the Marvel movies and I am happy they are still being put out there.

Who watched the Mrs. Marvel series already knew the tone the movie would have. It achieves what it wants, and it is fun and cute, not a cinema masterpiece (and it never intended to be). One things that annoys most people are the connections - literally to know much stuff here you needed to be catch up with all the movies and series related on MCU.…

Its not just that Larson is deeply uncharismatic, or that now the whole marvel thing reeks of try hard desperation to restart the previous two decades longest running gravy train. Its mostly that all of the marvel movies always have been, low grade cartoons for lame brained adults. The fuckheads who slurped it all are now pretending like this is any worse, it isn't.…

If this movie was 30 minutes I'd have 10 starred it. The rest just kind of falls into the typical colourful, bombastic garbage. Too much Marvel garble. I'm not the target for this by any means but if your kids feel ripped off and angry after watching it, congratulate them and discuss why. Fans of original Star Trek will find something familiar here.

A trashtastic conclusion to an epic failure of a series of movies. Maybe finally the M-SHE-U can rest in peace and we can get some actual good movies made.

When I first heard the title of this movie, I thought it was about a 1960s girls’ singing group. And, frankly, that would have probably made for a better movie. Writer-director Nia DaCosta’s third feature outing and the latest in the Marvel Universe paradigm is a wildly inconsistent superhero movie that tries too hard to do too much and doesn’t have a script to support it.…

When Kree ruler "Dar-Benn" (Zawe Ashton) unearths a powerful bracelet, she unleashes a power in it's sister being worn, decoratively, by the enthusiastic but a bit annoying "Kamala" (Iman Vellani) and next thing we find chaos ensues. It appears that her new powers connect her to "Danvers" (Brie Larson) and her slightly estranged cohort "Rambeau" (Teyonah Parris).…
