I am a white male in his mid 50s - and almost let this one slide because apparently, this is one for teenage girls only... Nothing could be further from the truth!
This six part superhero mini series was as close to perfect as it gets. The casting was FANTASTIC, and the characters they played anything but cliché. The cultural exposure was a privilege, a reminder that there are warm-hearted families and communities of diverse religious backgrounds everywhere in the world.
The plot was solid, the locations great, the special effects seamless, the sideline stories enhancing - I was very impressed!
To be honest, this one had slipped completely under my radar, but I wanted to fully appreciate the characters in The Marvels. Otherwise, it's a bit like watching the second instalment of Dr Strange without having first seen Wanda Vision. I'm so glad I did!
If anyone who had anything to do with the production of this ever reads my review: My hat is off to you!
When considering how to rate this, it came down to a simple question: What could detract from a 10 star rating? I couldn't think of anything.
