Seeing another woman not being biased and standing up to bad movies is more inspiring than anything this film had to offer. D-

I have the impression that Marvel no longer knows what its audience is.

You gotta give it a bad rotten tomato on the website marvel needs to learn and get back on track

Hanna Montanan is the kindest way of saying that this is a terrible movie

It's not marketed as a kids film and is part of the MCU phase 5 so a D- minus grade is sufficient.

Give it a D+ …. It deserves to be on Disney + 😀

You mentioned a kid tagging along with a superhero and immediately Peter’s role in Infinity War came to mind. It can be done, which is why hearing about this films shortcomings feels like a tragic fall from grace…

Just saw it and I regret it🤦🏾‍♂️D-

The fact that I got up to use the bathroom and just decided to leave instead of going back🙄this is a D- movie

As a fan of Brie’s Captain Marvel myself, this was just a mess🤦🏼‍♀️a D- is well deserved

Hanna Montana! That’s the best review so far. It’s not for adults, it’s for children

Rate it D for deceptive. If it's going to be a children's movie it should be marketed as so

My initial impression after watching the first trailer was that this was like the MCU version of Disney's Freaky Friday where the main characters switch places. Your comments essentially solidified my thoughts.

May I point out that the villain's plot is the same as Spaceballs? "We wasted our air and water,so let's steal it from someone else!"

Yeah I’m sick of hearing from other reviewers “ ITS FUN!!”. I want the movies like Winter Soldier and Civil War . Those weren’t “ fun” movies , they were great !

This was a way more honest and helpful review than what IGN just put out.

Now THAT’S a very interesting and valid perspective, one in which many reviewers are not commenting about. And that is, by purposeful design or sheer lack of who their audience actually are, the movie was made for children, and more specifically, females in their early teens.

Thank you for your review, Alachia.😀 The test you gave showed that this would not be for me. And then your descriptions re-enforced the point even more for me. Disney always alters things to suit its own brand, albeit Disney took some time with Marvel. Stick with your adult grade.

It's a shame Disney doesn't do cartoons anymore.

Oh man this might be the best take I have seen on this movie. It makes a lot of sense. And I have seen a LOT of reviews on this.

Just discovered you Alachia. You have provided us the best and most coherent review of The Marvels I've heard all internet. Thank you.

1:19 funny you say that because that was my exact thought with love and thunder, when i walked out i said it almost felt like something Disney would have made for Disney channel.

I’ve been waiting for your review, thanks for the heads up ♥️ I’m going this weekend for the popcorn 🍿

Disney should start putting appropriate ages on their movies like they do their toys. I mean I am fine with them making a kids film but they should be honest about it and let people know what they are paying for up front. You are seriously one of the best reviewers on YT. Should have way more subs.

I think I'm gonna pass on it

It sounds like Marvel not only still has a villain problem but now they don't know who their audience is for their films.

Thanks for confirming my feelings about this. Nearly walked out, but still had popcorn left and didn’t want to waste it.

Thank you for your honesty!! Subscribed!!! Blaming men for not connecting to this material is a cop out. She hulk ,ms.marvel and The marvels are clearly for a new younger demo,but where does that leave 24-65 that love comics for 20 years ???

Thanks for sharing this particular perspective on the film. Makes sense given what Iv been hearing about it but what u said about this being the Disnification of the MCU something I hadnt heard before. Thanks for sharing.

The weird part is how captain marvel acted in every movie we've seen her in prior. She came across as someone with a no-nonsense wooden personality. Like someone that takes everything ultra serious. She was running around saving planets after the blip. Now they suddenly have her acting like a cartoon? Weird. That personality shift gave me whiplash. Ima sue disney to recoup by chiropractor bills.

I watched three reviews already including this and honestly it is so interesting and fun to me on how diverse perspectives can be despite the fact that the base ground foundation for those reviews from where those perspectives arise are pretty much parallel !

That annoying "like we're on a team" line is the most original way I've seen anyone try to explain the tone of this movie. What is odd though, if you watch the Official Teaser Trailer, they actually use a much less annoying take. 🤔

I remember when the original She-Ra series came out I was hugely excited about it because they had released action figures of all the characters, and the villains especially were amazing. Then the show premiered, and the villains were all acting goofy rather than evil so they wouldn’t frighten girls. I had the same reaction to Nick Fury in Captain Marvel, and this looks like more of the same.

How did I get tricked into watching a Hanna Montana movie. This lady is hilarious.

"Mickey Mouse version of Marvel" is dead on. Thank you for this review. Every one else just sh*t on it. The "This movie is not designed to work for me. It is a film for kids" sums it up.

Never seen this reviewer before, but I'm subscribing after this. Straightforward and honest, I like that!

You mean "black girl magic" didn't save this movie?🤣🤣🤣 Oh, Alachia, I'm glad you, and Derek the DA, and Nerdrotic, and Jeremy Jahns, and all the other KZfaq movie critics saw this movie so I don't have to.

I would say that the "Disneyfication" started earlier with Thor: Love and Thunder. That movie had the same cluttered, nonsensical storytelling and jokes. You can't take Taika Waititi's humor in Thor: Love and Thunder seriously and you can't take Kamala Khan's suffocating fangirling seriously. I would say the actress that plays Kamala is more sweet and endearing than how the character is in the comics, in the comics written by G. Willow Wilson and created/edited by Sana Amanat she's just insufferable, it's all about islam and her literally wanting to have blonde hair and blue eyes and be a mini Captain Marvel.

Thank you. You’ve confirmed what I thought it was going to be. I watched the Ms. Marvel show and kind of knew what to expect but this confirms it.

Thank you for your honest feedback. So much appreciated

A very insightful review which helped me understand who was this film made for, especially with the baffling trailers and subsequent cat marketing. I think Disney is in for a rude awakening when the box office bombs because The Barbie Movie audience is unlikely to go watch this mess.

Your review is so well done. Thank you for taking your time to share your thoughts and considerations. As for the grade, it's grade Disney.

I appreciate that you are well-spoken and come off as very intelligent. Good video!

I love this review! After seeing the film, I was trying to figure out the best way to describe it. It's a children's movie, nailed it AQ

Tyrone Magnus recommended this video, so I came to check it out.

Leading up to the release, I've heard a lot of projections that this film was going to flop. Don't know why your review appeared on my suggestions but I was curious what you'd have to say. Appreciate the honest review and after hearing it, I may take my nieces to see it. It's obviously not for me but I've been putting together a list of movies we loved as kids, that are fun and teach important life lessons and hopefully this movie has those traits. If that's what Disney was going for, it seems like they really missed the mark by not marketing it as such.

You are the first person I have heard describe this so perfectly. Other reviewers have complained about the failings of the MCU related to this movie without giving context and comes off as just a bunch of crybabies. Your point of view gives a sense of clarity in showcasing the energy and intent behind these films. Thanks and so love your sense of humor which has always been a strong point in your reviews.

you are 100% spot on. This is a kiddie film at best. Lots of young people in the screening I saw and most were young girls. Lots of dads and daughters at my screening. They loved it, so you can recommend this movie for children. Perfect for them.

That’s pretty much how I felt. I didn’t hate it because I was thinking it wasn’t an awful film for little girls. Then again, it wasn’t a FANTASTIC film for that target either. I actually found the first third of the movie , when the characters are mostly talking to each other with little moments of action, quite enjoyable. But when the adventure and action started then it became surprisingly uninteresting. The CGI is far from perfect, the gags became a little too cringy and the serious parts were not very engaging. The very ending was kind of ok, both the last scene and the post credits scene, although we don’t know how good or bad they will develope all that in the future.

Finally! Finally! Someone telling the real truth! This is great commentary because she addresses who it is aimed at, not the old Marvel fanbase, but young Disney goers. Thank you for your honesty, and who this is for!!! I have decided to follow you from now on!

I love your honesty, you gained a subscriber

the accuracy of this review! Thank you

Appreciate your opinion. Brutally honest and clearly laying out the one of the biggest issue with Disney/ Marvel. Ever since Disney has acquired Marvel it has been slowly turning into the Disney club. It’s designed to move away from the audience that brought them billions if not trillions of dollars and keep fanbaiting them with these garbage titles. This is definitely being done on purpose which is even more bizarre. Imo the term “diversity & inclusion” has almost single handily destroyed the franchise. Like Loki just did we need to change the Formula.

Best review ive seen. Spoke about all the points relevant to me. I was annoyed by that character in the trailer but even all the reviewers who hate the film said that girl is the best part of the movie. 😂

First time I’ve seen your content. Really intelligent and interesting perspective Alachia. Thanks.

Got sent here from some YT folks, Magnus to be specific. Great insight and makes me still wait until it’s time for a nap once it’s on D+ (if I still have it next week)

First time viewer 👍 A well written, good story doesn’t have an age limit.

Never go full Disney!

Glad to see you again, don't know why I didn't get any notifications since the last time, years ago (I'm subscribed to many channels but still) ; I was a little worried about your well being since I heard you talking about mood issues (not judging, got similar issues) Appreciate your reviews like always, keep up the good work 😉

Lol… your opening question about how we may regard that particular scene and it’s implications for the rest film we’re spot on 😂 Nice analysis

I am surprised that they didn't put Mickey Mouse in there! LOL! He could play the role of Mighty Mouse! LOL!

When Alachia is unhappy, Disney will be unhappy.

Gotta be the most spot on review for this movie I’ve seen, so far. “OMG, we’re a team….” sums it up perfectly.

I never thought about that point, but you really hit the nail on the head.

There are two possibilities: Either they wanted to make a movie for a niche audience of little girls, OR they wanted to make a mass-appeal movie and failed miserably. Disney are ABSOLUTELY not going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to make Marvel movies that appeal to a minority of the audience. They HAVE to appeal to a wide audience, and therefore it is clear this was just a massive failure.

I agree so much with you. Disney has reworked Marvel and Star Wars to meet its brand's slogan. That is to say: When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you Even Rian Jonhson's so-called subversive The Last Jedi was in fact a construction to format the product in this sense. The last scene of the film was a blatant example. Sad result. Merci beaucoup Alachia. ❤

I think you've made an insightful point that a LOT of the predominantly adult reviewers are overlooking - Disney have made a kids Marvel movie. Consequently they ought to be reviewing a kids film from an adult perspective whereas they've been treating it as a standard MCU entry and misunderstanding it. An interesting theory. Where you've lost me a little bit though is giving it a 'C' rating when you appear to think that - as a kids movie - it's actually rather good. Surely a 'B' or 'A' is more in order.

You nailed it. I left thinking, ‘this is like they let a pre-pubescent girly girl write the script & they had no edits.’ Every stereotypical female trope was incorporated. Girl power! Lol omg. Your review is rock solid.

I give it a D-

D- D- D- D- D- 🚫🚫🚫

Thank you for this review and your perspective on this movie. Its nice to see a fresh take which is not mocking this trainwreck nor blatantly fawning over like the IGN review.

A girl giving a brutally honest review?? Wow! I think I’ll subscribe. Give it a D- please & thank you😊

F

Alachia , you have my full respect … I am SOOOooooooo with you

You make several excellent points I had not considered, a good review of this divisive film.

I went to see this last night with my wife. I would agree wholeheartedly with you that my kids would enjoy this movie. Especially my 6 year old. They would totally love the cats scene. The big problem for me is having to watch it again if I bring them to the theater. There were so many wtf moments. My wife turned to me so many times to ask how it was possible for things to happen, and I had no answer. I could not explain how nonsensical it was.

D-

Perfectly explained, outstanding opening observation. 👏

When you said the movie felt like a Disney Channel movies I lost it 😂😂😂 because i have not heard anyone described it in that way but that's the best way to described it😂.

I missed the Netflix/Daredevil-Defenders series from when they first streamed, super happy all are on Disney+. Been very sparingly watching them in order..currently on Jessica Jones S2. It’s NOT for kids, and it kicks ass!! Dunno if we’ll see that kinda quality again for a while😕

First time ive watched your content and im sold. Your perspective is sound and well thought out. Thank you for the test. It a no for me.

Here because of a shout out by Tyrone Magnus, 😊 great review, keep up the good work 😁

Honest, non-sugar coated review. I like it! Thank you for your upload.

I came here from Tyrone magnus channel 😊 New subscriber

Your review is spot on. Btw, children's movies can be high quality if they create it with effort and integrity - which recent MCU movies obviously aren't.

Good review, seems like a straight to video movie

I like your quick assessment method.

Marvel is Saved!

First time stumbling upon your channel. I appreciate your assessment of this dumpster fire of a film. Another way to determine if you'd like this is, 'Did you like Thor - Love & Thunder?'

Give it a D, because its not a stand alone movie, its a movie as part of an universe already aimed for adults. You cant do John Wick 1 and 2 for adults, and then 3 for kids. It doesnt work like that.

Love the test at 30 seconds in. Brillant

Dumpster fire hell no

Woow... thanks for your honesty .

PERFECT REVIEW. Saw it yesterday. These are my exact thoughts

You went in expecting Goodfellas Joe Pesci, but what you got was Home Alone Joe Pesci.

This happened to me with Star Wars in 1999- eventually your fandoms become children’s fodder 😮😅

The last trailer they released was pulling on the nostalgia and serious tone from Endgame. For that reason alone (ie. their false advertising) this film deserves a D-. Thank you for your honest critique.

That's a very interesting angle they took with this movie, considering that the Ms. Marvel Disney Plus show didn't have any views or fanfare. It wasn't bad quality wise, but not a significant success in terms if appeal and views.

Im sitting here thinking........More people are watching reviews than watching the movie... Haha!

The first Marvel movie that I really loved was Hulk wherein Eric Bana was there. Man it was such a great film. Now I'm not sure if Marvel would ever create another hero movie with that caliber.
