Here's what critics are saying about The Marvels, in theaters Nov. 10.

Does The Marvels soar higher, further, faster than Captain Marvel? According to critics who published their reviews Wednesday for the 33rd installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not quite.

The Hollywood Reporter:"As with most MCU offerings, the problem is in the plotting. The Marvels takes on more than it can responsibly handle in its brisk runtime , which means abrupt endings and discarded threads... still, when it comes to the relationship between the three leads, The Marvels delivers. Larson, Parris and Vellani have a natural and infectious rapport. Their undeniable chemistry anchors one of the stronger threads of The Marvels.

Associated Press:"The stakes feel immensely low in The Marvels, and it's not because this is a movie that spends a fair amount of time following cats or has an out-of-nowhere musical number. It's possibly that somewhere along way, Marvel movies just stopped feeling like events.

Chicago Sun-Times:"This is a direct sequel to the far superior Captain Marvel and takes place after events in the TV series Ms. Marvel, Secret Invasion and Wandavision, with the action set primarily off-Earth, on various green-screen ships and planets that aren't particularly stunning or original.
