THE MARVELS' Rotten Tomatoes Score Has Been Revealed

THE MARVELS' Rotten Tomatoes Score Has Been Revealed

With the first wave of reviews now counted, a Rotten Tomatoes score for The Marvels has been generated, and you can find out how the Captain Marvel sequel is faring on the Tomatometer after the jump...

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!

Do you plan on watching The Marvels in theaters?

In The Marvels, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe.

When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as "The Marvels."

The movie stars Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, Samuel L. Jackson, Zawe Ashton and Park Seo-joon.

The Marvels is set to arrive in theaters on November 10.

@KennKathleen - “We’ve been through a period where it was wonderfully reassuring for studio executives to feel that their franchise properties could go on forever and be predictably successful. But you can’t deny filmgoers’ desire for novelty.” - Christopher Nolan

@Gabimaru - most are, we just won't great movies. They're capable, but they're pandering to the general masses that will eventually make them lose their ass, see example here

@Blergh - agreed. It use to be angry reviews, but Jahns has been going in that same direction for a while now.

The best comment in this little thread. People take this dickhead - Jeremy Jahns - seriously?

I don't think anything could be done to salvage this. I always thought this would be the last hurdle of their rough patch to overcome. One last bandaid or scab to peel off before the healing begins. I truly believe and hope that 2024 will be the year the changes Iger is enforcing will be able to be noticed. They'll be ringing in the new year with a TV-MA Echo so that is a good start. Hoping for the best with Brave new world and Deadpool 3.

@MCUKnight11 - Nobody is going to watch Echo.

I mean, a few will watch it, but will probably be the least seen MCU series by far.

Only reason some people will watch it is the Daredevil cameos.

And BNW will most probably bomb too, Falcon America is a B or C character in the MCU, I doubt many people will be interested in a Captain America movie without "real" Cap/Rogers/Evans, even with the Hulk stuff.

Could be wrong, but the only real hit in that list will be Deadpool 3 with Wolverine.

@MCUKnight11 - similar to iron man 3, people will look back on these phase 4 and phase 5 productions less harshly. I'm saying once we begin to have pay offs. If they land Kang Dynasty and secret wars, these productions will be remembered in a different light?

@SethBullock - honestly think a bucky cap film could've did decently since he's the focus of the last two. But they decided it was better if to keep him as a side character

@SethBullock - Agreed, 2024 is going to be another rough year for the MCU apart from Deadpool 3. I don't think many people other than dedicated MCU fans are going to be fussed about Cap 4 or Thunderbolts.

@SethBullock - I'll watch clips on YouTube just like all the other shows aside from Wandavision, Loki, and Ms. Marvel.

@MCUKnight11 -
Phase 5/6 cannot be salvaged at this point. Even if they identify the problem they are too deep into it. This is media releasing on-top a 50+ hour pile of poor writing that has been Phase 4/5.

At the moment they think they are failing because 'the media is not serious enough' hence us getting Echo, Daredevil, Blade and Deadpool as the projects they are talking about currently. Until they acknowledge the issues with writing and the reliance on prior material they'll never be able to fix the issues.

Even if they want to fix the issues, they are trapped with a film slate they announced. We only have Captain America 4, Deadpool 3, Thunderbolts, Blade and Fantastic Four left before we get the team-up films that are meant to bring together the entirety of the MCU and additional Marvel films that are completely unrelated.

• Captain America 4 will be a box office bomb, it features an Israeli superhero as they battle a guy with extendable teeth and relies on a 2008 film that the MCU has ignored the entire time and a Disney+ series people disliked because the main character supported terrorism.
• Deadpool 3 may survive on nostalgia, but it's using up the X-Men nostalgia prematurely so Secret Wars will suffer
• Thunderbolts is repeating all the same mistakes as The Marvels
• Blade due to age rating will limit audience and is pretty much a throwaway film
• Fanta5tic if it happens has too much brand damage to do well, all the prior films have been varying levels of bad and the casting will be divisive, the decision to shove in Galactus like Dormammu in Doctor Strange won't go over well with fans.
• Kang Dynasty is reliant on Phase 4/5 characters nobody knows/cares about with a primary antagonist who nobody fears or values as a threat, a generic CGI Kang army awaits.
• Secret Wars acting as a part 2 will suffer due to Kang Dynasty and at this point not even multiverse cameos or OG Avengers will be enough because they've blown their load prior and they have to bring back Kang again.

People knowing a reboot is coming also won't help, similar to how DC films have been performing. We know a reboot will happen so why bother being invested. Why not just wait for the new status quo because none of these stories or characters will matter.

@SethBullock - I imagine Echo will be a B plot Kingpin origin story, and a better origin of Black Widow-like underworld espionage. That, with a sprinkle of Kill Bill, may make this worth a watch.

Bonus points if the Winter Soldier is used to take out a threat, or possibly come for Echo/Fisk.

@Taonrey - This is a good point. After this, for what reason would Marvel even want her back? The character can go away tbh lol
