The Marvels

Where: In theatres
What: Movie, 105 mins.
When: Now
Genre: MCU
Rating: NNN (out of 5)
Why you should watch: An over-used, convoluted plot device can’t take away from the fun of Captain Marvel’s (Brie Larson) genre-flipping superhero flick packed with plenty of action, amusing asides and virtually all major roles — along with most major ass-kicking — performed by women. Superfan Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) gains superpowers — don’t ask — earns Ms. Marvel status and is a steady source of amusing riffs on her, “How the fuck am I hanging with Captain Marvel?” marvelling.  Decent girl-power fun.
