Review of The Marvels

The Marvels (2023)
7/10
Not that bad.
17 April 2024
I actually thought this movie wasn't that bad. It was a nice brisk, fast paced, straightforward superhero film. And that worked for me. I understood everything that was going on and was able to pick up on the connections to the previous MCU projects that are connected. Mainly the first Captain Marvel film.

The Carol Danvers character was better here as well. More understandable and engaging than her previous appearances. We kind of see her get cracked open here and get a greater peek into her world. Kamala Khan is the best part of the film. She is just fun, endearing and hilarious. A real joy. And Monica Rambeau is fantastic here as well. I liked what they did with her story with Carol here as well as how they've showed off her new power set.

Finally, the action sequences were a lot of fun and well crafted. The one glaring issue with this movie is the villain. She's the weakest part of the film and is your typical run of the mill superhero movie villain. That's one area where they could have put a bit, a lot more effort, creativity into.
