The Marvels is a disappointing and dull sequel that fails to live up to the expectations set by its predecessor, Captain Marvel. The movie suffers from a weak plot, poor character development, and inconsistent tone. It tries to juggle too many elements from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) without giving any of them enough attention or depth.

The plot revolves around a Kree villain named Dar-Benn, who wants to use a pair of Quantum Bands to destroy the universe. She somehow manages to entangle the powers of Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan, who have to team up to stop her. However, the movie never explains how or why this happens, or what the Quantum Bands are and how they work. The movie also ignores the previous arcs and motivations of the three heroes, and reduces them to one-dimensional stereotypes. Carol is a cocky and arrogant leader, Monica is a bitter and resentful follower, and Kamala is a naive and annoying fan-girl. Their interactions are full of forced humor and awkward chemistry, and they never seem to learn or grow from their experiences.

The movie also suffers from a lack of focus and direction. It tries to connect to various MCU properties, such as WandaVision, Ms. Marvel, Secret Invasion, and even the X-Men, but none of these connections are meaningful or satisfying. The movie also shifts between different genres and tones, from sci-fi to comedy to drama to horror, but none of them are executed well. The movie is too short to explore any of these aspects properly, and the result is a chaotic and confusing mess.

The Marvels is a waste of time and talent, and a stain on the MCU. It is a poorly written, poorly directed, and poorly acted movie that does not deserve the attention or praise of the fans. It is a marvel only in how bad it is.
