I saw it. I enjoyed it so much. Like you, I thought the outrage among a certain segment of fandom after the first Captain Marvel movie was ridiculous. There was one line from the first movie that was annoying, but it was one line and Brie Larson is awesome. But if someone complains that The Marvels is too "woke", I can assure you they're stretching. It's a very organically told story where the three heroes are female. There is no beating over the head with lectures.

But aside from any of that garbage, it's just a really good movie. I find the scripting to be significantly better than the recent Marvel films I've seen. The interplay between the main characters, particularly Carol and Monica, really worked well for me.

I think it's good to see it ASAP to make sure the box office reflects its quality. But if you don't see it this weekend, I would advise avoiding social media. There's a mid-credits seen it would be very cool to be unspoiled about. They put something that feels like a credits scene before the credits, so the big teasers are actually right before the credits and then mid-credits. There's no scenes after all the credits that tells any story, just a bit of gag audio. Now, I'm someone who stays through the credits of every movie anyway.
