The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been a source of entertainment for millions of fans worldwide. However, its latest offering, “The Marvels,” has sparked a range of reactions. This review aims to provide a comprehensive look at the film, drawing on various perspectives.
“The Marvels” brings together three beloved characters – Ms. Marvel, Professor Marvel (Monica Rambo), and Captain Marvel. The chemistry between the actresses playing these roles is commendable, and the emotional thread between Carol and Monica works well. Kamala, in particular, shines in her role, reminiscent of the Tom Holland type character.
However, the movie falls short in several areas. The writing is criticized for being horrendous, with the movie seemingly having no clear direction. It starts off chaotically, then begins to form a team, giving the impression that it’s finally finding its footing. Then, something unexpected happens, leading to further confusion. The lack of a clear plot and the presence of a forgettable villain are additional drawbacks.
Despite these shortcomings, there are moments where “The Marvels” breaks from expectations and becomes weirdly interesting. There are a couple of cool scenes and sequences where real chances are taken. It feels like a unique movie is lurking underneath all the cheesy special effects and explanations tying everything back into other parts of the MCU.
Heading into the movie, there were rumors of poor test screenings and behind-the-scenes turmoil. Despite this, an open mind was maintained due to the fondness for the three main characters and their previous incarnations in Ms. Marvel, WandaVision, and Captain Marvel. The actresses playing these characters were also well-liked.
The idea of a female-centric Marvel film with a woman director was appealing. However, the movie turned out to be a disappointment, easily the worst MCU movie yet. It was a painful realization, and there was no joy in reporting this.
The movie was quick and short, lasting only an hour and 45 minutes. While this meant that the whole world wasn’t at stake, it also resulted in the movie feeling underdeveloped and rushed. The emotional connection between the three characters and their backstories felt forced and shoehorned in.
In conclusion, “The Marvels” is a mixed bag. It has its moments of brilliance, but they are overshadowed by its many shortcomings. It’s a disappointing addition to the MCU, but there’s always hope for improvement in future movies. Whether you’re a Marvel fan or not, it’s worth forming your own opinion on “The Marvels.”
