The Marvels

While the titular Marvels make for an endearing, women-centric found family, the film’s hyperawareness of its role in a larger universe is its downfall.

It’s silly and makes little sense, but it’s such a fun time at the movies. And isn’t that why we go to see movies in the first place?

The Marvels is so poorly conceived and ineptly executed that it not only makes this a front-runner for the dubious honor of worst movie of the MCU but a contender for the worst superhero movie of all time.

DaCosta made room for The Marvels to be bright and playful, filled with characters that are impossible not to love.

You get the sense that everyone involved is going through the motions.

The Marvels is a vibrant and well paced film that's packed with extremely well photographed and choreographed action. It's also brimming with cast chemistry, and rocks a narrative that builds the team *and* the characters as individuals.

“The Marvels” delivers a fun, well-paced superhero movie anchored by three solid, charismatic performances.

Oh boy, I am so tired of the MCU... Now it's the same film over and over and over again.

This is false sophistication, especially in this case, when it covers up the visual ineptitude and chaos of The Marvels.

The whole "Captain Marvel" franchise is diluted and shredded in this average action thriller.
