The Marvels Review Round-Up - All The Scores Including Metacritic
The Marvels Flerkin
Reviews have dropped for the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe release, The Marvels.
The latest MCU movie features Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel, and S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau, body-swapping, quipping and kicking back against Kree revolutionary Dar-Benn.
The movie has reportedly suffered from reshoots and poor test audiences, and comes following an expose of the Marvel movie business that claimed the studio is struggling with a bunch of internal problems, from actor legal troubles, to reduced budgets, poor CGI and indecision about where the crossover franchise is heading.

Reviews seem generally impressed with the trio of main characters and their interplay, and the film falls into the fun and weird category. Others suggest the movie isn’t essential, but not a complete disaster either, which leaves it with a Metacritic rating of 51.

As some of the reviews have suggested, The Marvels seems to suffer from being entangled in the complexities of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We think we've got a solution to reboot the MCU with fewer superheroes.
