'The Marvels' First Reviews Are In & Critics Have a Lot to Say About the MCU Sequel

The upcoming MCU sequel currently has a 54% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, among several mixed reviews of the film.

“I found myself smiling, and even bursting with laughter at points, because The Marvels is the most wall-to-wall fun Marvel movie or series since Spider-Man: No Way Home. (This is where I remind you that Guardians 3 was heavy, folks),” Matt Webb Mitovich from TV Line says. “The Marvels is a fun, funny and snappily paced, but ultimately slight, movie outing. Its ultimate legacy may be how it sets up the TV characters of Kamala and Adult Monica for the future, while its final two sequences, including a mid-credits scene, will have even the most cynical MCU fan talking, paving the way as they both do for fresh adventures involving a familiar face or two….”

“A narrative and visual jumble, and the clearest evidence yet that maybe we don’t need some sort of Marvel product in theaters or on streaming at all times,” Christy Lemire from Roger Ebert said.
