#themarvels
I really relate to your comment about for some people it's getting hard to care about movies anymore.
Maybe I just don't have enough time anymore these days. But the only films I think I saw this year were the Mario Movie and Elemental which I thought were both just alright movies.
That's ridiculous if I think about it, I only saw 2 movies this year, but I genuinely don't really care for some reason.
People have different interests and that’s totally okay
The quality of movies have declined, it's just quantity over quality these days, feels the same for videos games too; Maybe most products overall.
That’s the thing, they are products… not movies
It's so pathetic that it's gotten to the point where people have to preface their review by confirming they aren't just a hater in order to legitimately give a negative review, and that people are so quick to jump to, "oh you hate women," just because someone may not like a movie that they like. Good review, BTW! The kitty is adorable. He looks just like my black cat Sunny.
Dude, you’re totally right! I’m STILL getting it in the comments. “I bet you liked Batman & Robin”. That’s why I was getting hot and bothered in this video about that… but yeah, just being honest. Thanks for the kind words man!
Okay
Last night I attended a live orchestral performance of Pirates of Caribbean score. I thought Brandon would have loved this!
Man, I sure would!
P.S. the creator of the bechdel test said it was never meant to be used seriously.
Hahahah ouch
I always respect your opinion Brandon but we definitely are on the completely different sides of the spectrum with this movie 😂 I absolutely loved this one, and felt like it was such an incredibly efficient return to focusing on the relationships of the three characters, and fixing the biggest issue with Captain Marvel previously, which was her not feeling believable on team because she’s too overpowered. By connecting their powers, jt forced Captain Marvel to work with others and not just cockily save the day. It was also so interesting to see her paired with a character who has a bad history with her and doesn’t think she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread (Monica) while also having her face to face with her biggest fan who despite previous unwavering faith in her, now sees that her hero can’t always save everyone (Kamala). Both comedic scenes I think you’re referencing really worked for me, and I also really loved the villain. There is a short scene where the villain is on her home planet and the citizens are watching her and it was so effective in making you understand why these people are following her. Even the visual language of some of the costumes, framing, and space-ships fit within the Kree/Captain Marvel design. It’s not perfect, but I seriously loved this, and that was even before the ending/post credits scene. I’m sorry you didn’t have any connection to it, because for me it really really worked.
Hey Sasha! Really great to hear from you again! Actually, my friend I saw this with, I told him to subscribe to your channel because I think he’d love your content (as do I… I should comment more lol). Yeah, I liked that scene too of the villain talking to her people on her planet. Do you think it’s because I didn’t like Captain Marvel and haven’t seen Miss Marvel that I couldn’t connect to some of the character moments and get into what was happening with their powers? Cause I get what you’re saying, but when watching the movie I just felt like I was the one kid playing with a bunch of new kids on the playground who are all in on some joke that I know nothing about. Like I mentioned, the theatre was in an uproar… and I REALLY wish I had the same experience as you!
I think this is really interesting because I went to see it today on the recommendation of someone else I respect as much as Brandon. I think the issues with this movie are about timing and thematic resonance for some part, and foreknowledge of these specific characters as well. I really meshed with Kamala through the ms marvel series and what I saw here was a continuation of this that really worked for me. I did notice some real problems with some parts though, like the lead into the bollywood style planet tonally clashed with what came before. also, the part where Kamala's mother came on the screen, telling Kamala she can't go on missions in space, that really grated badly. The short scene with Tessa Thompson was really bad in my eyes too, it really did not work at all for me. There were other issues with timing such as when Carol was floating in space and everything was silent, there really needed to be more time for us to feel what she felt. there was also apparent foreshadowing that didn't pay off, such as how Dar'ben was using the bangle to interact with carol's powers but they never tried that with Kamala's bangle. That was perplexing. I also think Dar'ben's backstory really should have been a prologue.
@@CymruCreator I definitely agree with what you said about Dar-Benn's backstory; they waited too long in the film to explain this and that's not fair to viewers to have them relying on story information that the MC did something bad without us seeing it. I think thematically, I walked away from this one thinking about how a team allows for hard choices not to fall on a singular individuals shoulders, and that "standing tall doesn't have to mean standing alone" as Valkyrie says. I agree too that the Ms. Marvel tone carried into this movie really worked, but also thought the singing planet of Adalarna worked - totally fair if it didn't for you.
@@BrandoCritic I do think not having watched Ms. Marvel could have played into it, as she has such a key role here (as does her family, really) and so being familiar with them and their dynamic made their appearances in the film more exciting for me. You raise a good point about the "being in on the joke" as there is a lot here that feels like an amalgamation of previous appearances from these characters that I felt made the film more efficient whereas someone who hasn't been tuned in to every project may feel like storylines are being rushed or that not enough exposition is provided to truly care. It's something I switch back and forth on how I feel about the MCU - is it better to make movies for fans who know everything that is going on and reward them for that loyalty and scholarship of material, or does that make each project lesser as a piece of work because it relies too heavily on other context or stories?
It's like audiences are diverging into two distinct social species. People who like authenticity and people who like algorithms.
Weirdly, this film is currently at 61% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's more than Top Gun (57%), Taken (59%), Mars Attacks (56%), Man Of Steel (56%), Blade 2 (57%) and Spaceballs (57%)!
But then again, those were different critics at different times
@@BrandoCritic It's the Top Gun one that always sticks in my throat. I could dive into a mud bath of Top Gun mud and happily never get out again.
Haha and that’s okay. It doesn’t matter what others think
Yeah my friend called me last night to tell me what went on and it sounds absolutely terrible. I’ll avoid this like the plague.
Definitely
At this point, all we can say now is…Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Shawn Levy, help, save Marvel!!
Yeah, and just to slow down for a while
Lmao yea I think we’re all done now, so sad
I am haha
Yeah i was not fan of this movie either.
As someone who was not fan of first Captain Marvel i still went with open mind and hoping that its good movie, but this is once again huge letdown.
Only thing i liked in this movie was Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel, but most of movie i was saying to myself what the fuck i was watching 😵💫.
I really wanted to like this, but sadly it just did not work for me.
Great review Brandon and take care and stay safe 👍.
Thanks buddy
@@BrandoCritic Your welcome 👍.
@@BrandoCriticAlso this is my least favorite MCU movie right now 😒.
Could it be that people are just getting burned out on the super hero genre/movies?
Yes! It’s because not only are there too many, but the quality has REALLY been dropping
Yeah man Guardians 3 was the end for me and Marvel. Maybe I’ll check out future Spider-Man stuff just because I grew up loving the character but other than that I’m checked out. I just want to see Dune Part 2 😂.
There ya go!
And I was going to see it.
Sounds like we have a turkey for 2023.
Haha well, hope you like it more than me
😂 savings achieved! 💰
Hahaha take your girlfriend out to dinner. It will be a better investment that this movie
Kind of reminds me of Barbie. I sat through 2 hrs. of a boring film, just to get a chuckle from the very last scene. I love movies, just tired of the same old same old. Hey Roger🥰
Totally!
This sounds like a MCU version of a MTV Movie Awards sketch where the hosts jump into random movies but it is feature length
Hahaha interesting way of looking at it
Marvel has always been this. I was this during The Avengers. I was done after IM3. I actually enjoyed Love and Thunder but I had no expectations and hadn't seen a Marvel movie in a while. (caught parts of Endgame and really couldn't care - it was so up its butt)
Enjoyed the first half of Captain America - it had something to say in critique of war and propaganda. Last half was so juvenile it just was unenjoyable. Here's the deal blockbuster movies are juvenile and are spoonfeeding you tropes. Its nothing. Always has been. Corporate materialist culture is vapid nothing.
Sorry you had that experience
Consume product
and then get excited for next product
Ugh... totally
Who'd have thought making the same film 30 times with different characters would eventually get repetitive... I've never been a fan of the MCU but now we have fans of the MCU turning against it it is crazy. I miss films that would at least try to make you care. I shall be avoiding this like the plague.
Yeah… I genuinely was a fan back in the day too because in my eyes, the films were quality… not anymore
Not a Marvel fan here. I don't watch them. I don't care about them for exactly the same reason you finally came to realize. They don't offer any sort of memorable experience. They are the cinematic equivalent to junk food. Forgettable, uninspired, lazy, and repetitive. As soon as you leave the theater, you forget about it. The sad thing is that this is what the younger generation is used to, and studios will continue to deliver these types of films so long as people continue to consume them as much as they do.
Very true Mark. I don’t think this was always the case though… just sad
Did anything happen? (I just watched it)
Yeah… what a nothing burger
Wakanda Forever broke me on the second view. It was when I really started to notice the *formula*. That was when I felt depressed about it all. I still feel glimmer of hope though when I watched Loki and also when I am able to fanedit an enjoyable movie from out of the garbage they released. I haven't seen The Marvels so I don't know if it's salvageable, but it doesn't sound promising. This may be the film I cannot fix.
You do fan edits?? Interesting! Could you message me on Instagram? I’d be interested in seeing them
@@BrandoCritic I'm sorry I don't do Instagram, do you have twitter, Facebook, mastodon?
Twitter! @BrandoCritic
@@BrandoCritic I'm not sure what's occurring, i think maybe my comments are being flagged as spam. I tweeted at you on twitter but I can't dm you as you're not following me. I hope this comment works XD
Okay I fixed it. Try again
3:30 I've just watched the trailer, after you've warned me about it, again at your 3:30 , the trailer sucked, looked like a parody of the MCU. So to watch the movie?!!! Hell no!!
Yeah, I wouldn’t have watched it either
I pretty much agree with everything you said
Thanks buddy
I find this video very surprising because I can definitely see people having issues with the film, but to say that there was nothing good is very strange to me.
But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I guess I'm with everyone else in your theatre that enjoyed it.
"There was nothing good is very strange to me." - But that is the thing. Art affects people in different ways for different reasons. I WISH I was enjoying myself as much as the rest of the theatre... but I wasn't... thus, I have to be honest about my experience in my review. I don't judge ANYONE for liking this movie. Not at all
Seriously, why did you go to the theater?! Why waste your money like that?
I didn't waste my money. I work for a website called MovieSceneCanada and I saw it for free, on the condition I create a video about it
@@BrandoCritic Oh thank God. Sorry still about the fact you had to watch it and how little you enjoyed it. Hopefully we have another lightning in a bottle like No way home or Guardians 3.
I just wanna see good movies man
That's what I call manipulating human emotions.
Hahaha like a toxic relationship
I was debating on seeing this movie but ultimately decided to skip it in theaters and see Five Nights at Freddy's for the third time instead I deserve a better movie experience than this. and after hearing your review the MCU is not doing very good which is a shame because I literally watch Miss Marvel to prepare for this movie but after hearing some of the reviews I ultimately decide to not see it.
3 times?! You must love five nights at freddys
@@BrandoCritic yes I do. it is my comfort film to see in theaters. I do love the games every time I see this film I appreciate it more and more I deserve a way better Movie experience than this.
@11:45 - "you just don't like women heroes" - and yet I'm the guy who saw all the Resident Evil, Wonder Woman, Alien(s), and Underworld movies, etc. - love to hear that one! These same people claim its "so important to have representation" but so far as I can tell there's no significant white male character(s) in 'The Marvels' so why would I be able to enjoy it? No representation = no identification with characters = no enjoyment of movie, so why am I being told I have to enjoy a movie with three female leads or I'm a bigot? So tiresome!
Yeah, I don’t listen to it anymore. It’s just noise
When you're a movie fan,a gamer, musician and or music lover and you have no emotion for that piece of art, (if you can call it that) something is seriously wrong. I'm so sorry this happened to you when you saw this movie,man. I'm glad I'm not watching it.
Thanks man. It's okay haha. It's just a movie, but in order to review it, I need something to review
Feels like everyone who didn't take this as a kids movie had a really bad time.
Yeah… I agree with that. I think that’s a bad take. There are plenty of kids movies that are masterpieces
I liked the first Captain Marvel movie when I first saw it in theaters, but it has not aged well at all and that movie fucking sucks.
I’m definitely not watching this
Also, Captain Marvel even in the comic books I never cared for her and she’s an even bigger asshole in the comic books.
Ms Marvel is a good character in the comics and way better than Captain Marvel
Thanks Cole
oof that bad? lol
I really didn't like it
Oh yeah Last Knight was a big nothingburger
Totally!
The Marvels is fine.
Glad you thought it was fine
Okay, let’s play nice children 😂
It’s not that people hate women in movies, it’s just that they want to see hot women being dumb and whining about men and makeup instead of strong independent women doing fine without a man. In general audience love the damsel in distress cliche story lines.
I don’t think that’s true at all
Good point...
The problem isn’t the movie, the problem is the misogyny in superhero movies. I bet Brandon that you prefer movies like Fantastic Four (2015), Green Lantern (2011) or Batman & Robin (1997). Did any of those movies gave the emotion that was missing from The Marvels? I think not.
So stop being so hard The Marvels.
Nope. I hated all those movies for the exact same reason. Nothing to do with misogyny (like I mentioned in the video). A bit rude to assume that to be honest. That’s like me assuming people who like this are dumb… when that’s not the case.
Totally! Completely missed what I said in the video
Ladies and gentlemen, the classic “Oh, if you didn’t like The Marvels, then you’re a misogynist” guy🤣🤣
Just review it like a Michael Bay transformer movie.
I resent that. I loved most of Michael Bay's Transformers movies
What do you mean by that?
@@BrandoCritic don't watch the movie you've already seen more than 5 times. You already know what's gonna happen you could've done this review without seeing it
“You could have done this review without seeing it” … 🤦♂️
