The Marvels

a review by r96sk

A perfectly enjoyable superhero flick.

By comparison only, 'The Marvels' is one of the weaker MCU movies (there are still 6 releases that I'd rank lower, mind) but there's still no doubting that I had fun with this one. Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani are a trio that work well together, Vellani is especially good.

I liked watching the story unfold, it's told in a sharp enough fashion that I wasn't ever bored at what was in front of my eyes. The more humerous stuff is solid, the cat stuff particularly so; the standout being the 'let them do their thing' scene. Zawe Ashton's antagonist could've been done a bit better, though I think her Dar-Benn is more than decent.

I'm intrigued to see where they head with that teaser of an ending.
