This film is somehow way more depressing and worse than Ant Man Quantumania. We honestly thought Eternals was bad, but that was only the beginning. It was only going to go downhill from there.
Watching this movie felt like watching a beloved friend in a coma fighting for her life. It was sad, frustrating and ultimately hopeless. So much potential squandered right before our very eyes.
Much has been said about the Girl Power aspect of this story, but it doesn't mean jack when the characters are so thinly written. After the big character tension build up between Carol and Monica, with the latter resenting her for not coming back, their fractures mend themselves very quickly. There is no chemistry between the the two at all.
The villain is Bland with a capitol B, and highly forgettable.
Nick Fury is actually pathetic in this movie. He doesn't at all act like the Fury we know and love. He was more in character in Far From Home when Talos was impersonating him!
I don't think I've ever had this much of a bad experience with a film since Cats. And it is telling that there actually features a ludicrous scene involving baby flerkens and the song Memory.
What the actual hell, Marvel?
The only good thing is that it is mercifully short, and Iman Vellani does seem to be enjoying herself in the role.
Once a great studio, brought crumbling down on itself. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

Lower, Further, Slower
Written by a 12-year-old for other 12-year olds.
Went to see this movie with my 17- and 11-year-old granddaughters. One is a Ms. Marvel fan and the other is now. For me I was hoping for something that children and adults could enjoy. But, no only kids will enjoy this silly mess.
I enjoyed the Captain Marvel movie and thought the criticism was not warranted. I also loved Wanda Vision and the introduction of Monica Rambeau and I was hoping for at least a good continuation of her story. I didn't watch Ms. Marvel because I'm not a teen and I knew it wasn't for me; and after watching her parts in this movie I'm glad I stuck to that.
All three actresses are good and of course Samuel L in always a pleasure to see, but none of the other characters including the so-called villain were the least bit interesting. Most of the scenes were just downright silly. I hope they continue Monica's story with better writing and I wish Marvel would stop being silly and go back to making movies for adults and kids.
The worst Marvel movie to date (which is saying something). Awful.
2019's "Captain Marvel" wasn't too bad, for a superhero movie, but its sequel "The Marvels" is an unmitigated stinking disaster - the WORST Marvel movie to date (which is saying something). Set a decade or two after the original, Brie Larson (via Samuel L Jackson) teams somewhat inadvertently with Teyonah Parris & Iman Vellani (awful) to save Gary Lewis' people (what happened to previous leader Ben Mendelsohn?!) from evil Zawe Ashton. Director Nia DaCosta (who also co-wrote this tripe with Megan McDonnell & Elissa Karasik) creates a headache inducing, fast (as if bizarrely sped up), frantic, thoroughly annoying, tiresome piece of garbage. Absolutely dreadful.
