I'll make my own mind up if and when I can be bothered to watch it, but in the meantime, I have a feeling Mr Jahns is on point.

Some more reviews, some of which maybe a little more negative than those glowing ones posted already, just for some balance.
Variety - "in “The Marvels,” the bits of absurd comedy tend to feel strained, because they clash with the movie’s mostly utilitarian tone."
variety.com
Indiewire - C- - "This film actually attempts to be new and fresh but it’s all ripped away for more of the same. That “same”? It’s not working anymore, and if “The Marvels” shows us anything, it’s a fleeting glimpse of what the MCU could look like, if only it was superheroic enough to try."

NYPost - "Using a tried-and-true MCU tactic, the filmmakers attempt to cover up the many flaws throughout with a bandage of lunacy. There is no compelling character development to speak of, but don’t worry because there’s a planet called Aladna where everybody sings instead of talks."
nypost.com
The Irish Times - 1/5 - "It’s not just that it’s not very good. It is hard to watch in the sense that a tree is hard to defibrillate. This chaotic, ugly, incoherent picture barely seems intended for exhibition."

Telegraph - 1/5 - "'Higher, further, faster' ran the original Captain Marvel’s rousing tagline. “Have we reached the bottom yet?” would be an apt one for this."

The Guardian - 3/5 - "t is all, of course, entirely ridiculous, but presented with such likeable humour and brio, particularly the Marvels’ visit to a planet where everyone sings instead of speaks."

‘The Marvels’ Review: Even in Its Best Moments, This Scattered Superhero Sequel Demands a Total MCU Reset
Nia DaCosta’s “Captain Marvel” sequel has moments of real originality and charm — which only makes the rest of it feel like such a baffling waste.

‘The Marvels’ review: The worst MCU movie yet
If you thought “Eternals” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” were low points for the limping Marvel Cinematic Universe, strap in for the ride to abject misery that is “The Marvels.”…

The Marvels, review: the superhero franchise sinks to a new low
The shortest of the films is also the most interminable, a knot of nightmares that groans with the series' now-trademark VFX sloppiness

Loads of justice woke warriors will be downvoting this, purely because it has three women in the lead roles and only one is white.
That’s the critic’s average. The audience score hasn’t started yet

Yeah, I'm sure that's the only reason it's getting **** reviews
Soldato
Wow, brainwashed much?
Why would you think it would get 80 lmao the entire saga has been a failure

Care to elaborate?

Reading some reviews and watching the trailer, it looks like its going to bomb.

$400m worldwide tops.
I’m yet to watch a single one of them. Bar Spider-Man it does not sound like I’ve missed much.

Can we keep this thread about the actual film, not the standard anti Disney/woke/female characters etc. stuff
Why was my post deleted and not the post that originated the conversation?
Which is just as off topic etc
