RESULTS: Here's How You, ComicBookMovie.com's Readers, Rated THE MARVELS!

@willyburz - Thats exactly how I feel about it.

@Tonic24k - I had 2 voodoo rangers during the brisk run time. Didn't even Have to miss anything to pee thanks to the fast run time
Pizza analogy I'd a good one. I just really enjoyed the movie. It felt like it came from an experienced movie director and it knew what it wanted to be. It's no dark knight. It's no winter soldier. It's a fun time at the movies, similar to Iron man 1 on the fun factor

@Scarilian - The problem is people like you. The fact that you cannot wrap your head around people having opinions that differ from yours is crazy. You think the movie is broken? ok, that doesn't mean that it is. that's just your opinion. when you realize that you are just a random person giving your own opinion online rather than stating facts, things will become more clear for you.
I liked the movie. some people didn't. which is fine. the only thing I clown in regards to the movie are the many losers hating on it without seeing it. someone on Facebook was at least truthful and said that they wouldn't see it because it is female lead and filled with minorities, while others hide behind the word "woke".

@DarkeyeZ - you're confusing stating facts with having an opinion... If, for example, actions in a movie don't have any logical sense (like switching powers only when it's convenient to the plot, without any explanation), that's a fact. And sometines opinions will help us also discover and understand the facts. Reality is not defined by your feelings. If something's black it is black, my "opinion" that it's white, would be just plain stupid, you kknow? It's nothing wrong to have fun watching objectively bad movie.

@DarkeyeZ -
Nope, it's just broken. You can enjoy the film, but being ignorant of its factual flaws does not make them disappear. The writing is not consistent between scenes, the directing is a mess.

It feels like you've missed Captain Marvel 2 where she would have went down a darker path getting revenge on the Kree Homeworld and fighting Ronan as was set-up at the end of the first film (Leading credence to my idea that the movie was supposed to be set pre-GotG1)

Carol has no idea who is behind the disrupted 'jump network' and then the next time we cut back to her she suddenly knows it was Dar-Benn despite no new information getting relayed to her.

Kamala will get teleported wearing her costume and then fall from space in her civilian costume. Monica will get teleported wearing her spacesuit without the spacesuit going with her. Carol knowing their powers are linked will fly into space to fight Dar-Benn despite knowing a teenage girl (Kamala) is linked and would either be swapped in atmosphere OR in space which would result in her death.

Kamala, Monica and Carol get linked because they are all connected to the jump network either by touching it or wearing a bangle... Dar-Benn was shown wearing the bangle at this time so should have been linked.

Captain Marvel's character is assassinated due to poor writing. She committed an attack on the Kree home-world that resulted in a galaxy spanning civil war that resulted in the destruction of the planets atmosphere, water and even somehow their sun... then she spent 30 years doing absolutely nothing to fix it. The film claims she never went back to Earth, which we know to be a lie, and that she was actively avoiding Monica because of her reputation somewhere that Monica would never encounter or know about. Singing World is attacked because Dar-Benn knows how deeply Carol cares about it... and Carol never goes back or even gets in contact to check if they survived after their water was stolen.

It's less offensive than the previous film as its not actively hating masculine roles, but it's still trying to be a female focused movie and to do that the only other male characters in the film, Nick Fury, is so incompetent that when his space station is in danger the panicked staff don't trust him and run around the station like headless chickens refusing to follow his plan.

"I liked the movie. some people didn't. which is fine."

It's fine if you like it, but it's a broken movie. I'm not sure how much was the director, writer or reshoots/delays and the runtime being cut from nearing 3hr 30m to 90m. The singing planet segment was supposed to be the entire second act of the film lasting around 45m-60m on its own for example.

@WarMonkey -
Yeah, if you enjoy 'popcorn movies' that's fine. I do find it weird people would view it as a 'popcorn movie' though, just does not have as much action, comedy, etc... that I thought people would want in a 'popcorn movie'.

It's odd to see so many people praising The Marvels as if nothing is wrong with it because they enjoyed it from a 'popcorn movie' perspective. People can enjoy badly handled films or scenes of badly handled films without trying to praise them as being good.

I still have aspects of the Transformers live action franchise I enjoy and watch over, but like you, I am aware the quality of those films is not good from a writing, narrative or directing perspective.

@WarMonkey -
1st movie had a lot of racism, sexism, etc...

While I like the idea of Sam and his car having a bond it's kinda fighting against a fairly generic story-line of him trying to 'win the girl'. It's something that helps tie the film together, but the pacing is awkward.

You also have a lot of loose ends, Barricade gets beaten and implied he's repairing and then he never shows up again. Frenzy can get dismantled and survive but none of the other Transformers can? The Allspark gives life to a bunch of objects and machines and the movie forgets about it. You have the subplot involving the hackers that don't really do anything important in the movie.

I enjoy the film for what it is, but I wouldn't call it great personally.

@Tonic24k - That tracks. Statistically speaking they need to weight the poll to get a true measure of where people stand.

16.92% of users haven't seen it, so they can't rank it on a star level.

Of those who have approx. 78% give it an above average (3 stars or higher) rating. That tracks pretty close with the 84% RT audience rating. So filter out the haters and it sounds like a decent movie, even if not incredible.

We'll see it soon. Hard to schedule it in with a 2 year old.

@marvel72 - Which equates to 16.92% not having a valid opinion on the movie.

@Tonic24k - I mean if 90% of Americans not interested/don't plan on watching that could mean over 300,000,000 in the US alone are/do so never got why anyone ever feels the need to say they are not interested or didn't watch cos kinda meaningless to how good/bad and or sales end of the day.

We all like differing things and have differing rankings ultimately and someone mostly into serious high quality drama will oft want a fun popcorn flick from time to time :D

@marvel72 - Agreed. It’s a complete Disney teen romp com shite fest and they shouldn’t be given the idea it good as they’ll just make more the same. It’s nothing to do with the cast or characters or even the storyline to a lesser extent, and it’s all to do with the creative team and the style in which it’s written in and tye tone they have set.

@RoberTiger - I can’t make you do anything 😉

@mountainman - "I don't want to see it" is not a valid gauge of the movies quality, it is only a valid gauge for the movies marketing.
You can't have a valid opinion on a movie you haven't seen. So anyone who chose that option should be removed from the poll.
People that saw the movie and did not like it have a valid opinion, those that hate the movie but didn't see it are just sheep jumping on the hate train

@DarkeyeZ - I’ve never said that the movie is bad. I’ve said it doesn’t look interesting to me. That is a valid opinion for someone that hasn’t seen it.

@McMurdo - R.I.P Roger thank you so much.

I miss the hardwork people use to put in for movie posters.
