    I saw this movie on opening weekend. It’s certainly not a “bad” movie. I don’t regret watching it, but I kinda regret spending money on it.

    The movie felt like Batman 1966, but with Marvel characters. I was almost expecting to see “BAM!”, “POW!”, and “WHIFF!” show up on screen. The reason I decided to see it in theaters was to form my own opinion, but if I had known it would be so campy, I wouldn’t have been in a great rush to see it. Not that I didn’t enjoy it - in fact, I loved it!

    Maybe if it was marketed as “A Disney+ Original Movie”, people wouldn’t be so harsh on it.

    Anyway, “The Marvels” isn’t that good of a superhero movie, but I think people are being too harsh on it. It’s not the worst of the worst, it’s just campy and mediocre.

    I don’t understand all the “it’s a bad movie” hate at all (apart deom the obvious haters)… i thought it was fun and certainly better than some of the movies that came before.

    Movie got a lot of unwarranted hate, it was fine. It wasn’t FANTASTIC or anything, but it was fine.

      Everything that stars a woman gets unwarranted hate. I heard the Fanboys going nuts and calling Echo “woke”. I watched it all and I can’t think of a single woke thing in it, aside from the main character being a native woman, which I guess is what’s driving them crazy

        My only real beef with Echo was I JUST watched What If Season 2 that had it’s own magical natives and I was like “Again? Didn’t we just do this?”

      Pacing was my biggest issue. Either make the film longer to give scene/characters time to breathe or cut even more subplots from the movie.

      I do agree it was ultimately fine, but there was a better movie in there.

    I thought it was delightful. Captain Marvel felt kind of forced in for Endgame, and her stand alone movie was unfortunately a bit forgettable, but I really liked the fleshing out of her character in this movie.

    I went to the cinema this evening to see it since I missed the original release. And it was very entertaining, I laughed quite a lot. Good jokes, good action, great team!

    I don’t get the hate at all… I’m glad I got to see it on the big screen!
