The Marvels Review: A Fun, if Flawed, Space Adventure

The Marvels has been fighting an uphill battle all year long. Its original, perfectly serviceable trailer received intense online criticism. It is the sequel to a billion-dollar-grossing film that sparked a wave of toxic outrage aimed at protagonist Carol Danvers and star Brie Larson that, somehow, has never died down. Not to mention a follow-up to the stories of WandaVision’s Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Ms. Marvel’s Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), spurning disgruntlement from casual fans overwhelmed by the need to watch multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe shows and films to stay up to date.Its box office predictions are concerning. Superhero fatigue might be setting in, and the SAG-AFTRA strike has prevented its cast from properly marketing The Marvels throughout the fall season. And this was all before Variety dropped its exposé detailing the juicy behind-the-scenes kerfuffles happening at Marvel Studios these past few years. But despite the challenges the film has faced, The Marvels is a fun, action-packed time at the movies thanks to director Nia DaCosta and a charming cast.The Marvels doesn’t hit the narrative highs of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 or Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, but it makes the most of its sci-fi premise with strong group chemistry, comedic timing, and a willingness to just be weird. At the very least, it does a better job exploring Carol Danvers’ flaws than Captain Marvel, building upon her actions in the last film and how the fallout still weighs on her decades later.RELATED: Disney+ Marvel Legends Show Gets New Episodes Ahead of The Marvels Release
