#TheMarvels IMAX - predictably fun mix of action, humor & heart that #MCU always serves up. But not a must-see. Cast truly shines especially #ImanVellani and fight scenes are executed well, but story is a bit lacking. For the #Marvel faithful, others will catch it later on.

THE MARVELS … on the positive side Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel is a lot of fun. But plot decisions felt like they were just made up as they went. (A lot of, “Oh just do that.” “I can do that?” “Sure.”)

#TheMarvels worked for me. Female Avengers team-up movie packs in chuckles, cats, hairballs, and musical sequences. Much more episodic than a cinematic endeavor, but I think that's its greatest strength. Great post-credits. Loved my leading lady trio. Great visual effects. Jersey… pic.twitter.com/uWk9w4M4Og

#TheMarvels is breezy and quite entertaining, but it also feels slight. Despite connecting to so many previous Marvel movies and TV shows, it sets the table decently enough. But at the same time, there’s not a lot of character development or weight to the proceedings.

#TheMarvels is so much fun, action-packed goodness, but genuinely hilarious and exciting to watch from start to finish. I love my girls so much and seeing them fight all three together truly is so special. Higher, further, faster baby! pic.twitter.com/epEroO2ClU

Just saw #TheMarvels.

It's fun.
Not super duper INCREDIBLE but a good time.
There's some really dope action sequences and the fight choreography is pretty fantastic.
Just wish the villain was more impactful is all.
All in all, it was a decent time.
Mid-credits is exciting.
I’m happy to report #TheMarvels is really good!! Iman Vellani is sooo much fun as Kamala Khan she absolutely kills the role even more then she did before. Brie Larson actually get much more to do this time around and show off her vast range of acting abilities! The runtime is… pic.twitter.com/mZoAWAwbIt

All I wanted from #TheMarvels was to have a good time and that movie is stupid fun! Kamala, Monica, and Carol are so much fun together. The swapping, singing, and dancing played better than I thought it would. The cameos, my god those cameos! I’m so happy I saw this in IMAX! pic.twitter.com/seWhnb9fzX

#TheMarvels is the most fun I’ve had watching a superhero movie in a while! It’s hilarious, action-packed & full of girl power. Kamala was a stand out & so many moments surprised me. There was a great balance of the team, while dropping shocking bombs that will change EVERYTHING. pic.twitter.com/Zj6Lbc5xKn

I could write Twitter reviews for the next 10 years of movies without ever seeing one.
Those reviews do seem to be all over the place.Farmer1906 said:

The vibe is super excited that these didn't suck. Sure X, Y, & Z is horrible but a couple things were good. Hooray! Now shove it right in the middle of the pack for the MCU's 25 movies.

I saw some this morning that were "fun movie, confusing plot, 5 stars" then a handful of people from both the 1 star and 5 star crowd telling theor audience not to listen to the other side lol.
First movie since my son was born so I'll take the inconsequential fun. That's a win for me. But 2019-Me would be so disappointed.
Every movie and meal out feels like the greatest thing you've ever done once you are able to dump them off on a babysitter for a couple of hours.rhutton125 said:

This must be a pretty exciting moment for Iman Vellani, to be in a movie with Brie Larson and yet all the buzz is you stole the show.
Thanks and gig'em
If it was fun and funny, then why does the trailer feel so flat? The last trailer that was everywhere doesn't seem wacky or fun at all.
Probably bc you hate women

How long do you want to ignore this user?
No one should be surprised that Iman Vellani was the best thing in the movie. She's the only reason that I've considered going to see it in theatres.
My impression from those reviews is that The Marvels can be summed up in two words:
Fun
Forgettable
Fun
Forgettable

That was my review for The Batman!
‘THE MARVELS’ debuts with a 54% score on Rotten Tomatoes 🍅
— The Hollywood Handle (@HollywoodHandle) November 8, 2023
It’s MCU’s 3rd Rotten movie ever.

And this will officially be the first MCU movie I do not see in theaters... Have a feeling there are a lot of people who will be saying the same
Yeah, I'm giving serious consideration to bailing tomorrow. I was hoping for simple "fun" (and seeing it back-to-back with the Loki finale), but the plot sounds terrible, the cameos sound worse, and usually when there's even an inkling of hesitation in the first Twitter reactions, it's almost always worse than they let on, which the 54% now basically confirms. Will see how I feel tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to the married with children part of your life when you will be ecstatic to be able to see a movie like this to get 2 hours to yourself.
Quite the marketing strategy. Yeah our movie isn't that good but it's better than being around your kids. Come give us money

Ha, I don't care if it means missing meals, I will set aside enough $$$ to pay for a babysitter + a movie outing at least once every ten days or so.
Also, luckily, it's literally part of my job to see this stuff.
Btw, have you heard about this?????

Just walked out of FILM TITLE with a big smile on my face! A worthy addition to the FRANCHISE TITLE universe! It's always great to see MAIN ACTOR slip back into that comfortable skin of MAIN CHARACTER while NEW ACTOR was a much-needed breath of fresh air, perfectly embodying the spirit of CHARACTER I READ ABOUT ON WIKIPEDIA YESTERDAY right down to their signature OUTFIT/CATCHPHRASE/WEAPON.
The film takes a while to find its footing, but once DIRECTOR gains some confidence, the rest of the film is literally pitch-perfect! Great action, a few CGI missteps, and that cameo, WOW! It doesn't quite hit the same notes as OTHER FRANCHISE FILM THAT EVERYONE LIKED but there are big LAUGHS/FIGHTS and big FIGHTS/LAUGHS along with a few touching scenes that will have you recalling OTHER FRANCHISE FILM THAT HAD REAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
It's official, FRANCHISE NAME is back!
