The Marvels

I've long since lost track of how the Marvel films are connected, so I'm not sure if this is a sequel to Captain Marvel or just some stand-alone thing, but after pandering to the black and Asian communities in the US, this is Marvel's attempt to reign in the Indian fans. You'll have to ask them whether it was successful.

Ms Marvel is a big fan of Captain Marvel, and fate will bring them together. When Monica touches a galactic portal that is stuck, she creates a trinity where the three of them switch places when using their powers at the same time. Captain Marvel crosses paths with the Kree again, and she'll need her new companions to beat them.

Who says India says Bollywood, and yes, there is a song and dance scene here. Yay for that. The plot is bland, the performances are pretty bad, and having another kid in the lead didn't improve things. The only good thing about The Marvels is that is clocked in well under two hours, making it a little less painful than some of Marvel's other stinkers.
