Has anyone watched The Marvels yet?

If not, are you watching it anytime soon?

If yes, what are your thoughts?

I just watched it today and I thought it was just an average MCU movie. Not terrible, but not great.

Also, spoilers just in case

I’m not planning on watching on anything MCU related for a while tbh. I feel like they’ve been consistently pumping out mediocrity other than some shows like Loki, so I’ll wait for the bigger releases and hope that they can get their act together.

I haven’t heard anything great about this one either but it’s disappointing that they haven’t been back to form

The MCU might as well have died with Tony Stark tbh. They've only had very few good projects since then Loki, NWH (debatable), Shang chi (debatable), Wandavision. I've heard pretty bad things about the Marvels so I'll be avoiding this one too. It seems like whenever something MCU related comes out the bad reviews and reception reach me first before i can give it a shot lol. It happened with Moon Knight most notably.

Also, does anyone else find it so funny that they're having such a hard time making this Blade movie and Mahershala Ali almost walked out lol

Saw it today. It was middle of the road.

That’s kinda what I feel about the other mcu projects but the ending of Loki season 2 was shocking. He literally becomes the god of stories, just like the comics.

Imagine if we got that Loki in the game

Imagine fumbling an actor like him. If what they say is true, seems like they were screwing up on the blade movie too. Hopefully that’s good when it comes out in 50 years

Shang Chi was very good. No Way Home was excellent.

Their commitment to talent and quality ended with End Game.

I honestly feel like NWH has very little to offer besides fanservice. I went crazy in the theater, but the story is convoluted af and you notice the long pauses they throw in for the audience to cheer in individual watches. The last scene was perfectly done though

Judging by ticket sales very very few people.

The movie is below average. Boring Villain... plot is all over the place...
If you like watching fast paced action movies then you can watch it.
They go from one fight sequence to another fight sequence with a bit of exposition in between.
Just wait for it to come on D+

Pretty good movie. Could have been better. I would still recommend it to anyone who needs a movie to watch

ItsClobberinTime

After seeing how they did Kang in Quantumania and literally falling asleep five different times watching Secret Invasion, hell nah. Marvel movies and shows have been so mediocre lately (except Loki season 2 of course).

I agree with you only on the first watch. It doesn't hold up on rewatch. All of its value is in the fanservice and cameos but once you've seen them you're left with the actual movie which is not that good and its plot has many holes and weird decisions made throughout

Icy000

I'm not watching anything mcu related until they decide to make an x-men movie

Well post credit scene has you covered for a tease!

Extremely mid.
Captain Marvel isn't a good character.
Actors doesn't help either, nor does the writing

Marvel died in Endgame.
Very few titles hold my attention anymore. Only really excited for Blade and the next Deadpool.

Bendy

Im going to see it next week sometime as i watched every project as i base it on my own judgement than reviewers

Keltan

A moment I thought I was watching a Disney's Princess movie..
I watch it because of Goose lol

At this point it will be a miracle if Blade ever hits the theaters tbh lol

DrZola

I will watch when it comes to streaming.

I disliked the way Carol was shoehorned into the Endgame saga. While I adored Iman Vellani, the Ms. Marvel series was poorly written, choppily produced and introduced concepts that should never have been in a Marvel TV show (e.g., dimensional incursion and end of the world stakes, but no other hero takes notice?). Monica was solid in WandaVision.

But…the MCU is missing its leads. Who’s the alpha, male or female, among the remaining Marvel heroes? Is it Sam? Carol? Clint? It’s surely not Thor, who (while initially funny) has been turned into a slapstick silly character. Stephen is great, but he’s not Sorcerer Supreme any longer and apparently doesn’t bother to notice world-ending threats. Wong is SS, but his repertoire appears to be fire ring transport spells and training underachieving magicians to do magic tricks at Kamar-Taj. That leaves Scott Lang…enough said.

As for movies, I consider the Spidey and GotG films somewhat *outside* the core MCU, which leaves me with very few good projects *inside* the core MCU since Endgame. While I enjoy Loki, I blame Michael Waldron for making an abject mess of the multiverse in Doc 2 and somewhat in Loki 2. Doc 2 was an unmitigated mess that discarded much of what Loki 1 introduced about the multiverse.

Sadly, NWG and GotG3 feel like the farewell tour you get when your favorite player is a little too old for the game and gets his number called one last time before retirement. Neither was great, but both were so full of nostalgia and wrap-up that it felt like saying goodbye rather than being caught up in something new.

Oh well…early morning rant over. The question was will I watch Marvels and I will, but not for one cent more than I’ve already spent.

Yes, it was fun, nothing amazing, definitely not the disaster the incel crowd predicted.

I was actually hoping Brie’s deadpan, sarcastic and somewhat joyless Carol rendition played well when juxtaposed with Iman’s overly enthused fan-girl Kamala—sort of like the annoyance Roy Kent projects at other characters in Ted Lasso.

It’s honestly okay.

The three leads have great chemistry and the set pieces honestly aren’t bad but god is the villain so. flipping. boring. It’s Malekith levels of bad. I can’t believe i’m saying this but the movie could’ve used some extra time to fully flesh her out more. I also didn’t feel like the movie always had the right tone (especially towards the end) and the tonal whiplash as well from scene to scene was not working in this movies favor.

The post credits scene was hype af though

The boys and invincible raised the bar so hard i dont think marvel will catch up anytime soon.

It was pretty horrible

Lower tier MCU. Not as bad as quatamania or love and thunder, but not much better either. Most of my enjoyment came from Iman Vellani as Ms.Marvel
The future teases were better than the actual movie imo

Captain Marvel isn't a good character.

That's just an incredibly lame take imo. Carol has a lot going for her across her history in Marvel comics.
