The Marvels is an uproariously fun and action-packed comic book movie that's made all the more delightful by the heartwarming dynamic of the leads.
DaCosta whisks us through the story with plenty of wit, particularly from Kamala’s family.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie, with the low box office and bad reviews, but it is one of the better superhero movies to come out recently. It very well written; a balanced amount of comedy and drama. It's not at all confusing, if you're not familiar with some of the character's backstory. It's a concise story, that doesn't get overly ambitious. Highly recommended!

The incel nerd is a thing that be burned to death and must end. The movie is incredibly fun, action packed, a good plot. Kamala, Carol and Monica are very nice together. The movie doesn't deserve the backlash it got. Some random an fragile men can't stand to see a good movie having 3 female strong characters as a lead protagonist that they star crying calling it "woke". Doesn't make any sense.

DaCosta’s kinetic direction and intimate storytelling style lets audiences see this trio — whose lives collide in unexpected ways — from new and entertaining vantage points.
Clocking in at a welcomely brisk 105 minutes, it’s Marvel’s shortest film, but a lighter tone that occasionally borders on a sort of cosmic “Freaky Friday” doesn’t consistently make the movie fly, much less soar.
An irrelevant B-team affair which further suggests that the MCU can’t survive, short- or long-term, without the active participation of its most famous characters.
To say The Marvels is all over the place is to imply that there is an anchor to it somewhere. There’s not.
In order: bland, annoying and misused.
Really enjoyed it. The chemistry between leads was good and like the character in the comics the movie has tons of heart and fun vibes. I truly believe that without the strike action impacting the promotion of the film more would have been encouraged to see at the cinema rather than let those who have ill-intentions for the film persuade them to give it a miss.
Well worth streaming on Disney+ or rent/purchase on another format.

Not great, not terrible. Just pretty "meh" andinconsequential, despite some pretty zany ideas and good efforts.

Wow. So, i expected it to be SO bad. It has the WORST villain in marvel history, and a total cringe musical scene, but aside from that?? Really not bad!!! Kamala Khan, and her mother, are pretty funny. Action and plot were fine. Shameless tie in at the end?? OK i'll take it. Probably gets a bonus point for simply not being the worst Marvel movie of all time. That is probably Quantumania.

"The Marvels" stumbles into the cinematic universe with the grace of a misstep rather than the triumphant flight one would expect from its titular heroes. In an era where representation and empowerment are celebrated keystones of storytelling, this film misses the mark by leaning into a superficial portrayal of feminism that feels more like a checkbox than a genuine exploration of female strength and complexity.From the outset, "The Marvels" attempts to position itself as a beacon of female empowerment, yet it undermines this very goal with character development that is as thin as the paper it's scripted on. The protagonists, intended to be paragons of feminine power, are instead reduced to caricatures, their complexities flattened by a script that prioritizes spectacle over substance. This results in a portrayal of female heroism that is not only unconvincing but painfully regressive, wrapped in the guise of empowerment but devoid of any real depth or **** dialogue, which could have been a sharp tool for exploring themes of equality and sisterhood, often veers into the realm of cliché, offering up lines that feel contrived and hollow. This lack of authenticity in voice contributes to a narrative that struggles to resonate on any meaningful level, leaving the audience disconnected from the characters' journeys and the challenges they face.Visually, the film does little to elevate itself, relying on a barrage of CGI that feels both overwhelming and remarkably cheap. Action sequences, which should serve as the heart-pounding climax of character and narrative arcs, come off as uninspired and forgettable, lacking the creativity or impact to make them memorable. This visual mediocrity not only detracts from the film's attempt at empowerment but also reflects a broader issue of a lackluster effort in bringing these characters to life in a way that feels genuine and **** direction of "The Marvels" further exacerbates these issues, with a pacing that seems at odds with the story it tries to tell. The film rushes through moments that should have been pivotal, reducing potentially powerful scenes of female solidarity and triumph to mere footnotes. This hurried narrative not only robs the audience of the chance to truly connect with the characters but also signals a missed opportunity to delve deeper into the themes that could have made the film a meaningful contribution to the **** its attempt to champion a message of female empowerment, "The Marvels" delivers a rendition that is disappointingly superficial. The film's failure to engage with its themes in a thoughtful and nuanced manner results in a viewing experience that feels both uninspired and disingenuous. Rather than a celebration of feminine strength, "The Marvels" is a stark reminder of how far there is still to go in portraying female heroes with the depth, complexity, and respect they deserve.
