I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
If Disney was hoping that hyper-positive reviews may avert a box office cliff for The Marvels, that does not appear like it’s going to happen. While last night’s social media embargo lifting brought many positive impressions of the film, today, now that full reviews are live, The Marvels has debuted with a disappointing, all-important Rotten Tomatoes score., which makes it the third worst-reviewed MCU movie overall and only the third Rotten scoring one ever.
The 53% for The Marvels is lower that the main MCU projects that it spawned from. Captain Marvel had a 79%. WandaVision, which contains Monica’s origins, has a 91%. Ms. Marvel, Kamala’s origin, is the single highest-rated MCU project at a 98%.
We’ll see more critic reviews in soon, and audiences will give their own opinions tomorrow. Then everyone holds their breath for the opening weekend numbers, which should be something to see.
