"The Marvels." is neither good nor terrible. It's just fine.
I know I'm on record as saying movies have gotten too long. But this one might actually be too short. The first act feels very disjointed and frenetic. It needed to slow down and spend a little more time introducing the characters and setting up the dramatic stakes. And the final battle also feels surprisingly abbreviated. I was also a bit lost because haven't seen the Ms. Marvel Disney show.
That said, the movie has a couple of memorable scenes (cat lovers will enjoy the movie) and the three leads are great. Plus, it's always fun to see Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.
But the most exciting thing to happen in the movie takes place in the mid-credit scene. And that's how you know it's not a great movie.
