Review of The Marvels

The Marvels (2023)
5/10
Uneven and static - for a force made of LIGHT!
27 January 2024
This is by far Marvel's most uneven movie. From acting, to script and action it may feed the stomach, but leaves the soul empty.

While Marvel has struggled since Endgame, there have been some very good entries. With infinity powerful heroes, something special had to challenge them. So some random. Person with no developed back story or motive is underwhelming.

While the acting overall was strong. These are good actors after all. The script was noticeably shocking. While Marvel has recently embraced the 'silly', it is poorly contrasted with sharp moments the attempted to be emotional and forced moments of drama.

While the action is fine, the 'shtick' of their power switching is so forced and has no impact on the plot, character development and lends no lasting impact. More like the soft buzz of a fly in the background you find obnoxious than the the loud roar of creativity.

This movie has all the hallmarks of an NFL team, down by 21 with 3 minutes left throwing a crazy 50 yard touchdown to make it a 14 point game... Cool in the moment, but overall utterly insignificant.

5/10.
