American filmmaker Nia DaCosta’s upcoming superhero movie The Marvels has everyone on their toes. Based on Marvel Comics, the film will be released in the theaters on November 10. Ahead of its official release, a premiere was held in Las Vegas on November 7 accompanied by press screenings held in New York and Los Angeles. With the buzz surrounding the latest venture of the Marvel Cinematic Universe refusing to die down, the film’s first reactions are already out on X (formerly known as Twitter) — and they are all positive.
Check out some of the early reviews:
Washington Post reporter Herb Scribner wrote, “My early The Marvels review — Yes. So much, yes. This film is so much fun and exactly what a comic book movie should be. It’s funny, silly, short and sweet, action-packed. Loved the cosmic sci-fi moments. Plenty of MCU interconnectivity without being overbearing. We will be talking about this movie for years to come.”

Giving a positive nod to The Marvels, film analyzer Erik Voss opined, “THE MARVELS is an astonishingly wacky film. I had a lot of fun. Iman Vellani was born to be an MCU star. She elevates a tangled story into a Marvel nerd’s dream. Sometimes that dream wavers out of sync. But it sticks the landing.”

Clayton Davis — the senior editor of Variety reviewed, “The Marvels worked for me. Female Avengers team-up movie packs in chuckles, cats, hairballs, and musical sequences. Much more episodic than a cinematic endeavor, but I think that’s its greatest strength. Great post-credits. Loved my leading lady trio. Great visual effects. Jersey City represents!”

The assignment editor of television channel Dempsey Pillot’s verdict was, “Nia DaCosta’s TheMarvels is a delight! The power-swapping plot is cool & all, but the real fun comes from the stellar chemistry between Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris & Iman Vellani. Low stakes aside, it delivers some of Marvel’s best action & comedy to date! See it with a crowd.”

Some more reactions:
#TheMarvels is a solid MCU outing.Even though it doesn't break the mold, and its villain isn't anything remarkable, the movie is a ton of fun, and the leading trio are wonderful together.
Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel remains an absolute pleasure to watch—more of her, please. pic.twitter.com/DolMdCR8VW

#TheMarvels is a good time at the movies. Definitely not everything works, and there are two cringe-inducing sequences that threaten to derail the whole thing. BUT DeCosta can direct action sequences, it’s never boring, and the leads are all very good. ???? pic.twitter.com/sWmy19NAum— Clarence Moye (@ClarenceMoye) November 8, 2023
Despite everyone on screen trying their best, #TheMarvels feels like it lost its battle in the editing room. Scenes don't flow into each other & you can't tell when the first act or second act begins. There's a few really dope scenes but studio interference might be to blame.

#THEMARVELS is short, sweet, and a hell of a lot of fun. The main trio is a blast together and it’s great to have action sequences that are exciting again. Probably the most charmed I’ve been by a MCU film since No Way Home, and I can’t wait to see what this film leads to… pic.twitter.com/BA8lkRCjU8— Ross Bonaime (@rbonaime) November 8, 2023
The Marvels boasts a cast ensemble of Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, Samuel L Jackson, Zawe Ashton, Gary Lewis, Park Seo-Joon, and Zenobia Shroff.
