Watched the Marvels today and loved the movie. The reviews and the initial box office returns had made me a little skeptical on how good the movie would be as it has apparently the lowest opening weekend of all Marvel movies ever. I think that this is because there are a vocal group of people who don’t like the idea of a non-white male centric movie and that resulted in a poor opening weekend.
The movie was good and most of the jokes were actually funny and from what I could tell the entire audience loved the movie. The villain of the movie was a bit 1 dimensional their motivations could have been explored more in detail and other than the Marvels not much focus was given to the supporting cast. Even with that though the movie was a fun watch. My Niece Sara who watched it earlier this week apparently loved it because of all the cats in it. So that is another point to consider.
The end credits scene on the other hand was wow! It really opens up the stage for a massive new set of stories and crossovers. So I am looking forward to that.
