The film was released in theatres on November 10. I went to see it last week when it was released and loved it. This is a movie that has haters and lovers and I’m the latter one. I really enjoyed it and watched it with a big smile. Iman Vellani was especially amazing as Ms. Marvel. Brie Larson and Teyonah Parris are also great in the movie. And there are some fun cameos as well, especially at the end of the film. So don’t listen to all the critics and go see the film for yourself. You won’t regret it.
