We've brought you the social media reactions and a selection of reviews from critics (we'll be chiming in with our verdict soon), but it's now time to reveal The Marvels' all-important Rotten Tomatoes score.
As we write this, the Captain Marvel, WandaVision, and Ms. Marvel follow-up has a Rotten 58% on the Tomatometer based on 120 reviews.
That's neither a great nor terrible start for the movie and it appears Marvel Studios now has its third "Rotten" title; considering there's been more than 30 of them, that's hardly the end of the world. Still, it comes at a bad time for the studio, especially with so much talk of "superhero fatigue" and claims the MCU is on the decline.
The score is bound to change considerably in the days ahead, though we can't currently say whether it will go up, down or remain the same. Hundreds of critics have yet to share their verdicts, though, so it's still early days (this does nothing to help the movie's box office prospects, regardless).
For the time being, The Marvels ranks above Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (46%) and Eternals (47%) but beneath Thor: Love and Thunder (63%).
Fans are typically quick to say a Rotten Tomatoes score doesn't matter when it's for a movie they like, while those rooting for a blockbuster to fail are fast to tout them like a trophy. What will really matter is what regular moviegoers make of this figure and whether it deters them from buying a ticket this weekend!
