Our Review
The Marvels (2023) is a action and comedy film from Movies. It runs about 105 minutes. It premiered on November 10, 2023. Viewers rate it 5.4 out of 10.
What The Marvels Is About
After exacting revenge on those responsible for the death of his wife and children, Frank Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs far deeper than New York’s criminal underworld. Now known throughout the city as The Punisher, he must discover the truth about injustices that affect more than his family alone.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 105 minutes and it leans into its action/comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, Samuel L. Jackson and Nia DaCosta lead the cast.
Key roles include Brie Larson as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel; Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau; Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel; Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury; Nia DaCosta as Director.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, comedy and sci-fi have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 5.4/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2023 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and comedy viewers.
How The Marvels Compares
If The Marvels lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole The Marvels is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Brie Larson and Teyonah Parris doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/comedy roots, It has held up since 2023 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Marvels is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and comedy lane, the audience score holds around 5.4/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 5.4/10. Watch it if you want action/comedy you can settle into.
