The Marvels Reviews

A cosmic blast of fresh air and a feel-good time that never takes itself too seriously. It's full of laughter, exciting fight sequences, and a powerhouse trio that each get their moment to shine. These characters were made to be seen on the big screen.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 29, 2025

While the plot might give you the feeling of any other superhero movie, what makes it different is the treatment and the sheer dynamics between the three lead characters.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 23, 2024

Although there’s a terrific body-swapping fight scene early on, the film generally favours laughs over combat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 11, 2024

This narrative is pure comic book ridiculousness done correctly. The Marvels has its fair share of action and dramatic moments, but more than anything else this film strives to entertain the viewer.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2024

The Marvels could have been so much more, but with evident overproduction, nonsensical dialogue, bad editing, and a keen lack of vision to say anything substantive, it is yet another loss for Marvel Studios.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 7, 2024

... go along with all the talk about mysterious alien bangles, wormholes on the fritz, jump point surges, malfunctioning light-based powers ... Eventually, we land on a story about family, female friendship, and Flerkens ...

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 6, 2024

It does go higher, and further, but puts a little too much stock in faster.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 5, 2024

Unlike the more recent superhero movies that are lengthy and burdened by questions about origin and identity, The Marvels is a breezy entertainer that does not doesn’t take itself too seriously...

I thought the superhero fatigue was real for me, so much so that I completely opted out of Blue Beetle. But Disney does what it does, and since it insists on continuing its now sprawling universe, I couldn't help but be intrigued by The Marvels.

The Marvels has its moments but can’t overcome the same old problems we’ve watched plague the MCU for years.

No amount of body-switching gimmickry can save this film.

If you want something a little bit on the more frivolous side for fun, give it a shot. Couldn't hurt. But it's hard to recommend to anybody who takes this stuff more seriously.

Marvels” has a lot of bonkers, jump the shark moments that I loved and hated at the same time. There is a colorful, musical sequence; the Disneyfication of Captain Marvel, which really infuriated me and made me want to get a twirl to fully see the dress

A superhero film so anxious to satisfy everyone, everywhere all at once, it ends up inciting dread whenever its foolish coven of superwomen are trying to act like people who like each other. The Marvels is as enjoyable as a turn in the pillory.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 12, 2024

The cinematic superhero slide continues with this disappointing follow-up to the superior Captain Marvel.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 26, 2024

It’s a joy to watch these superwomen support and empower one another.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 25, 2024

The Marvels deserved more love than it got and is one of the more accessible, you don't *need* to have watched all/any of the other films to enjoy this science fiction romp following three super women as they team up to save the universe.

The Marvels was a perfectly fine hour and forty-ish minutes, with some fun character interaction and some decent superhero action, the only issue is it just didn’t have the drive or gravitas to really pull me in. Not bad, but not great either.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2024

This one has some truly weird sequences and the best use of “Memory” from Cats maybe ever in film history.

| Feb 13, 2024

The weakest and least buzzed-about Marvel film in some time – and it’s a shame. There was such a big opportunity here and they blew it.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 12, 2024
