The Marvels First Reactions Call Latest MCU Movie "Utterly Delightful"
The Marvels, the latest MCU movie, premieres Friday, November 10th.
The MCU needs to learn the right lessons
prevnextI’m astonished by how accessible #TheMarvels is, even when it has to pick up the threads of multiple shows. My crowd was audibly reacting to things I saw on D+ months ago, and it was great.
The MCU needs to learn the right lessons from that connectivity going forward. pic.twitter.com/uk5dqwWKnf

It deserves so much more credit
prevnextI’m hoping against hope that #TheMarvels becomes a sleeper hit, because it deserves so much more credit than it’s getting.
If you’re already shortchanging this movie before even seeing it, or you suddenly only care because of potential cameos, that’s depressing.

Ensemble cast is great
prevnextLook, #TheMarvels is no more mid than most of #MCU Phase 4 & 5 .
The ensemble cast is great; the entanglement mechanics are impressive & fun – but the “story” and character development are both messy and half-cooked, as is the 3rd Act battle.
Ending & Credits scenes are 🤌🏾🤌🏾 pic.twitter.com/1aPVJUyT72

Exciting MCU stuff
prevnextThe Marvels is a fine MCU entry.
Carol, Kamala, and Monica are really great, especially together in very creative action scenes! First 25 minutes really rocked, exciting MCU stuff by the end.
Villain is forgettable. VFX vary, both good and bad. Some silly scenes didn’t work. pic.twitter.com/dflCP2hOPX

Genuinely hilarious
prevnext#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

Cat lovers will be happy
prevnext#TheMarvels is very entertaining! The switching among Marvels played quite well during action scenes making the fight much more fun ! I am glad that kitties play bigger roles this time . Cat lovers will be happy. Kamala and her family still scene stealers. pic.twitter.com/QpnGo1YQUY

More episodic than a cinematic endeavor
prevnext#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

Charming and colorful
prevnext#TheMarvels has serious script issues to be sure but it’s so charming and colorful and fun it’s easy to overlook. Imán avellano steals the show. Teyonnah Parris and Brie Larson are great. And give me more Flerkins any day. pic.twitter.com/8E6TDEPHAm

Wholesome and wacky
prevnext#TheMarvels is so much fun — wholesome and wacky and joyful and moving, with some really inspired, inspiring sequences that more than make up for occasionally iffy plotting. It also restores something desperately needed in the MCU: hope for what comes next. ✨ pic.twitter.com/ulSY4SiJAn

The Cameos!
prevAll 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
