The Marvels Review | A Scattershot Sequel Succeeds with Fantastic Cast Chemistry

Brie Larson returns to save the universe in a scattershot sequel with a plucky teenage admirer and her aggrieved surrogate niece. The Marvels swings wildly between CGI-fueled action scenes, campy humor, and slivers of emotional gravitas. Banner cast chemistry between the likable leads lifts a convoluted plot with a dull and dreary villain. There isn't a second of real tension in the film, but personalities go a long way. Memorable supporting characters, including a wisecracking Nick Fury, alien Flerken cats, and a Jersey City family make the most of their screen time. I would have preferred a more substantive, focused adventure, but was generally entertained throughout.
