The MCU may be having a crisis moment, but director Nia DaCosta's freewheeling entry, starring Iman Vellani, Brie Larson and Teyonah Parris, isn't the culprit.
This fall, there’s been much hand-wringing over the state of the Marvel union. In the not-so-distant past, each Marvel movie was an easy slam dunk at the box office, if not necessarily with critics. But things have since been shaky and “The Marvels,” the follow-up to the 2019 film “Captain Marvel” , has been the recipient of a lot of online ire with regard to the waning days of Marvel madness.
When Carol touches a glowing intergalactic rip in space-time — a “jump-point” — her powers become entangled with Monica and Kamala. Every time they use their powers, they body-swap, which makes things quite complicated for teenage Kamala, living with her family in Jersey City. An early fight scene set to Missy Elliott’s “Ratata” features the body-swap confusion, and has a swingy, dynamic flow and rhythm as the trio crashes from outer space to Kamala’s house to Nick Fury’s S.A.B.E.R.
