Summary
Reviewers say 'The Marvels' offers fun, quirky moments and enjoyable performances, particularly from Iman Vellani, but suffers from a convoluted plot and underdeveloped characters. The film's humor is divisive, with some finding it entertaining and others excessive. Visual effects and action sequences receive mixed feedback, and the reliance on Marvel tropes is criticized. Overall, it's an enjoyable yet flawed Marvel entry.

I just want to know who is responsible for MCUs phase 4 and how he or she can still be employed
There are 0(zero) good movies and only 1 or 2 tv shows that are watchable over a total of 20 productions and this is one of the bottom ranked ones. Marvel did a fantastic job over the decade, earned trust of fans besides billions of dollars and they are wasting it like there is no tomorrow.
I don't know how a franchise can change so drastically from hero to zero.
I have watched every marvel movie out there and this is equally as bad as she-hulk.
Story is definitely boring, protagonists are boring, antagonist is boring, action is boring, battles are boring, some scenes are absurd and ridiculous.
I have absolutely nothing good to say about this movie. Don't waste your money or your time.
Looks like the movie is only made to make money in India.

By far the worst Marvel movie so far, I am extremely disappointed. After the mess that Thor 4 was, I was hoping that Marvel learned its lesson, but it seems not. I am honestly happy this movie did bad at the box office, that's what you get for ruining such a great character (I loved Cpt. Marvel from the comics).
What makes it bad:
I also found two good things eventually:
These writers should never be hired again.
What makes it bad:
- Action moves way too fast from one scene to another
- No character improvement or growth by the end of the movie
- Things just happen with no storytelling
- Not serious enough, too childish for my taste
- Too many goofy moments (singing, really? We've come this low, Marvel?)
- End scenes that try to set the context for next movies seem forced and unnecessary
I also found two good things eventually:
- I liked the villain and her story, sympathized with her a bit
- At least the movie was not long.
These writers should never be hired again.
Carol Danvers is attempting to save the universe, but her incredible powers become entangled with those of Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau, they must unite to save the world.
Ouch, what can you say, this is surely one of Marvel's lowest points, I honestly don't know who the target audience is, or who this is going to appeal to, young teens only maybe? Anyhow, this was an absolute mess.
The writing was clearly problematic, it doesn't gel, it is genuinely all over the place. I do very much wonder if huge sections of this film cut? It can be the only answer, it just doesn't flow at all, and that short run time...
Special effects, some were pretty good, some were poor, I just wish there was a greater focus on plot, it just seemed like 100 minutes of CGI, noise and random events.
Brie Larson, I'm not sure about you, but to me she looked totally disinterested and bored by the whole thing, what I didn't see, was someone committed to the role. I thought Samuel Jackson was rather good, but again poorly served by the script.
It didn't look great from the trailers, and in reality, it's another clunker from Marvel Studios.
4/10.

The MCU has absolutely overstayed its welcome. Post Avengers Endgame, these projects have been feeling more and more like content than cinema (except the rare surprises like GOTG 3). Superhero fatigue, they call it and this movie does practically nothing but to amp it up to 11.
You watch the trailer, you know what happens. You bet on originality, you end up homeless. There's nothing new for me to say that I haven't already said about any of the other MCU content as of late. It's so generic that I'm confident a year from now, no one would remember this movie even existed. With every new MCU project, the jokes-per-minute ratio keeps getting worse, the villains are a writer's version of a stock photograph (I can't even remember the villain's name in this movie and it hasn't even been a day since I watched it), the CGI is so out there you can almost see the CGI artists' tears on screen, and it's getting more and more difficult to tell each MCU project apart cos they're all just the same.
The only few positives I can identify here are actresses Iman Vellani and Brie Larson (Larson, who seems much more relaxed and settled into her superhero boots), and maybe the flashy action sequences. Otherwise, there's nothing here to watch, nothing here to experience and nothing here to enjoy. What a shame.

Anyone who heard the news about this project knows that the production was a nightmare, and it shows in the final product here. It's like they couldn't figure out what direction to go, so they made 4 versions, and blended them together. Which would explain the high budget, the 5 delays, and the reshoots. Kamala's character was probably the best part of the movie. I promise you, the script did her no favors, but she stood out. Her acting was in line with her character. This was probably an exciting opportunity for her, and she wasn't going to let a bad script, and production problems stop her from giving a great effort. However, the story, the dialogue, the musical gimmick, the weak villain. It just didn't work. I don't think the blame lies solely with the actors, or even the director, who did lack the experience for helming a movie with a budget this size. I think Disney interfered heavily with the production, which almost always yields bad results. I think it was doomed to fail. They put so much pressure on this being successful, they forgot to make it coherent, unique, or interesting.
Did you know
- TriviaJust like in the first film, Brie Larson had to use a stunt double in scenes where Carol is in the same room with Goose, due to her being severely allergic to cats in real life. Except when Goose is CGI of course.
- GoofsIn Home (2023), Nick Fury leaves Earth with his Skrull wife Varra for the S.A.B.E.R. space station. However, she is nowhere to be seen in the film. This is not a continuity error, though, as Varra stated that should would help Fury get started, but couldn't stay. Presumably she's already returned to Earth when this film opens.
- Crazy creditsAt the very end of the credits, you can hear the meows of a young Flerken and the sound it makes as it regurgitates a person.
