The Marvels 2023

★★★

Watched 17 Jan 2024

Despite the overwhelming number of negative reviews I came across on the internet, I was pleasantly surprised by my end experience. The pessimistic opinions had made me cautious, hence I decided to go in with lowered expectations. However, I must confess that I had a good enough time watching the movie, and it's definitely not as dreadful as many would have you believe.

While it may fall short in terms of its literary output, primarily lacking in an impressive outline for the main narrative, it compensates with its "innovative" action sequences and the infusion of silly humor throughout. The on-screen camaraderie displayed by the lead trio (Ms. Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Capt. Marvel) further enhances their approach.

A stronger antagonist would have made this affair more interesting, I reckon!
