The Marvels - 2 and 3/4 stars out of 4.

It's certainly better than the original and it manages to get by on the character interactions and some cool action scenes via the swapping gimmick. It's nice to also see consequences from the choices Carol has made and see how it's dealt with. It's not really a compelling story, in fact it's as standard as it gets for the MCU. It'll be rough for it to grab your attention outside a few highlights, notably the hilarious way the Flerkens "help" before the climax. Nothing really special overall. I'm just glad it checked off some of my boxes, even if some of the interactions could have been longer.

Stick around for a MAJOR mid-credit scene that tackles the fate of one of the characters and raising questions about the future of the MCU. It's the only post film scene so no need to wait.
