Love this movie

Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) continues to protect the skies and our universe. A new enemy named Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton) has arisen, looking for a pair of powerful ancient armbands that she hopes will restore her home planet, Hala. While Dar-Benn successfully finds the location of one bracelet, she is annoyed the other is still missing and perhaps somewhere within the universe. Around the same time, Carol ignores Nick Fury's (Samuel L. Jackson) orders and begins to investigate a strange wormhole that appears. Something unexpected happens, and Carol discovers a significant change in her powers: she is now connected to Kamala Kahn/ Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), who is currently on Earth, and Captain Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), an official astronaut working for S.A.B.E.R. Now, this trio of unlikely superheroes must figure out how to use their powers together - a highly wacky and complex task- and work tightly as a team to prevent Dar-Benn from finding the second armband. Matters become more complicated when we discover Ms Marvel is wearing the second armband. Naturally, The Marvels is part of the well-known Marvel cinematic universe and has been directed by Nia DaCosta, known for her recent work on Candyman (2021) and Little Woods (2018). In this new instalment, we see the return of Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel in the leading role, and this time, we have new characters joining her, whether she likes it or not. For those unaware, it's helpful to go into this new film with knowledge of Captain Marvel (2019), WandaVision, featured exclusively on Disney+, and Ms. Marvel, also available only via Disney+. Still, being well-educated in the Marvel universe is not essential, thanks to minor flashbacks in the film's opening. As the newest film in the Marvel cinematic universe, The Marvels delivers a fun combination of sci-fi and adventure. The latest instalment doesn't go too deep with its story but has some playful fun with its unique concepts, characters, and planets. While I'm grateful for the fast pace and runtime, some edits between scenes are distracting. The endless amounts of sci-fi babble gave the vibes of a television series, and the comedy led to differing opinions among the audience. For those curious, yes, the end credits are rewarding and enlightening. Still, as a new film, I appreciated its direction, but it only slightly improved some of the more recent entries. * This review has been written for Sanity.
