Rated PG-13 for action/violence and brief language
When Kree Villan Dar-Benn comes into possession of the 2nd magical bangle from Ms. Marvel, she decides to break holes in the space-time continuum to try and save her dying planet of Hala. Because Dar-Benn is ultimately destroying parts of the universe by destabilizing several jump points when taking resources that help revive her planet, Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Ms Marvel must stop her. However, after Captain Marvel and Monica touch a corrupt jump point, they switch places every time they use their powers. Will they be able to control their abilities and stop Dar-Ben before she destroys the universe? Will Ms. Marvel get the second bangle? And will we ever see Chewie’s man-eating kittens again?
I’m a Marvel fan so this review is a positive one. If you are not a Marvel fan, you probably wouldn’t like this movie. It’s very confusing to someone who isn’t familiar with the MCU, as the plot weaves together many different characters and storylines that take place all across the MCU, which made the movie super fun to watch. However, parts of the movie felt a bit jumbled and felt a bit like fanfiction. That being said, I am a Marvel fan, and am not at all mad at that. The fighting scenes were so much fun to watch and everyone’s abilities were really interesting. Learning more about the bangles made all the difference to the Ms. Marvel plotline. I loved this movie and would recommend watching it if you have a good understanding of the MCU. If you want to watch this movie I would recommend that you watch Captain Marvel, The Avengers movies, WandaVision, and Ms. Marvel.

OMG THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!! There were so many easter eggs to break down and the post-credit scenes were so awesome! First, seeing this movie at the same time as watching Secret Invasion (cause I haven’t watched it yet) made the timeline a little fuzzy (not as much as the Loki season finale did), but it wasn’t too hard to catch on and figure everything out. Seeing the Kree and the Skrulls again was interesting and helped expand on a lot of character development. The battle scene on Aladna was so much fun to watch. Also, learning about Captain Marvel’s prince was funny. When they had to evacuate Fury’s space station with Chewie’s kittens was adorable and hilarious. I really hope that we get to see them all again because they made this movie 10x better.
Now, what I REALLY want to talk about is the post-credit scenes. Getting hints about new X-Men movies (literally my favorite movie series in the entire universe) AND the Young Avengers in the last 10 minutes of the movie was wild. I cannot wait to see how they bring in Monica for the X-Men. I also want to learn more about all the different timelines, alternate realities, universes, multiverses, etc. But the Young Avengers leaves me with even more questions considering that Wanda’s kids no longer exist in this universe and they’re a part of the Young Avengers. Also, what happened in Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness could play a huge role in what comes next. However, being introduced to Hulk’s son in She-Hulk makes much more sense now. I also really hope we get to see America Chavez in the Young Avengers as well. Anyway, that’s my initial thoughts and reactions on The Marvels.
