6 Thoughts on The Marvels
The Marvels has arrived in theaters and the writing is on the wall: this one isn’t doing so hot. The critics haven’t cared for it, the box office is very disappointing and it’s not going to be a good ride, probably. But I don’t care about any of that. I very much enjoyed this film and had a good time at the theater!
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I am an unrepentant Marvel fanboy. I have enjoyed pretty much all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe output, with probably Secret Invasion being the only stinker in my opinion. I was prepared for The Marvels to live up to all of the negative hype, but it was a blast! It was funny and entertaining, and well worth a short, breezy watch. I have never missed an MCU movie in the theater and I’m not about to start anytime soon.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on The Marvels. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the film. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryThe Marvels Looks Super Fun!
Comic-Con has delivered a ton of fun trailers so far, and the first one I’m going to post is the new trailer for The Marvels, the next big MCU movie. This is the sequel to Captain Marvel, and it teams her up with Monica Rambeau from Wandavision and Kamala Khan from Ms. Marvel. That’s a lot of TV show connection, but considering I have seen all of these movies and shows, I’m excited.
I think this trailer looks super fun. The energy is good, the color palette looks really nice, and the characters are definitely the strongest part. Iman Vellani is gonna kill it as Kamala on the big screen. To say nothing of Teyonah Parris and Brie Larson, who also look great in this trailer. The whole thing looks fun and I’m definitely looking forward to this one.
The Marvels comes to theaters on Nov. 10.

Brie Larson is Captain Marvel!
The casting announcement we’ve all been waiting for was finally announced at Comic-Con Saturday night: Captain Marvel will be played by actor Brie Larson! Her movie won’t come out until 20-freakin’-19, but it’s still pretty cool to finally have the role cast. Hopefully we’ll see her cameo in an upcoming flick, like the first Infinity War movie.
The resemblance is uncanny!
Unfortunately, I don’t know very much about Brie Larson. I’ve never seen Room, so I only really know her from her small role in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, which was a fine role, but probably doesn’t show off her acting chops very much. Still, I love Captain Marvel, so here’s to finally knowing this solid casting.
Now they just need to cast Ms. Marvel
Here’s hoping 2019 will get here soon rather than later…though I’ll be freakin’ 35-years-old by then. Jeez louise…
