Captain Marvel is a average movie, nothing really stand out and nothing really bad, definitely nothing marvellous at all. It a decent stand alone movie but as the major key role of MCU next phrase this movie is a failure, lazy script, soulless acting and funny 10 years old logic, one the worst MCU introduction movie so far.… Expand

The movie is boring and mundane. Using the same old formula. No character arch or growth for Captain Marvel. If you miss this movie, you won't be missing anything at all.

The film might have worked if The casting cerew had gotten the role right. If they want to continue with this character and have her effect the MCU going forward she needs to be recast or cut entirely.… Expand

A bit of a mixed bag really, this doesn't seem like an MCU film, the tone of it was out of whack, something reminiscent of Green Lantern but better. There seems to be some inconsistencies with the rest of the MCU films but will have to checkA bit of a mixed bag really, this doesn't seem like an MCU film, the tone of it was out of whack, something reminiscent of Green Lantern but better. There seems to be some inconsistencies with the rest of the MCU films but will have to check them out to confirm. I struggled to enjoy this film even the jokes were misplaced as evident by the rest of the cinema not engaging either. I love any fantasy, sci fi spectacle but this fell short and couldn't keep me engaged. I think Brie Larson was miss cast in this role, I know she's a great actor but I think she does better in more dramatic roles, she was totally unconvincing as Captain Marvel and I struggled to invest in the character. Carol's relationship with Maria was difficult to accept or believe, there seemed to be no chemistry or emotional investment between them. I think Charlize Theron would have made a better Captain Marvel, she has the stature and gravitas that is required to bring the character to life.

Sam l Jackson was great as Nick Fury but what is the MCU without him, he seems to carry most of the film for me. However, the digital de-ageing was a bit hit and miss, sometimes it looked good but at other times it didn't even look like him at all which took me out of the moment on a few occasions.

Ben Mendelsohn was another highlight, he played the antagonist beautifully with a great menacing quality, the depth and believability of his character showed in spades.

The CGI again was also hit and miss, for the most part it was OK, not great. At times it was like watching a well rendered cut scene for a AAA PC game and other times, cartoon like, as I mentioned earlier it reminded me of Green Lantern.

This film was marketed as a feminist film fighting sexism (and Aliens), did this reflect the sexism of the 90's? At the time I was at UNI studying "Social Theory and Communications", basically a liberal left viewpoint and a big part of the course involved media manipulation, prejudice, sexism and critical theory so I was quite sensitive to any form of sexism. This film was more like sexism from the 80's where the older generation were still living in the world influenced by the 50's and 60's and were still using the phrases like "Smile, it may never happen" or "Cheer up". In essence Carol throwing off the shackles of patriarchy actually belonged in that time as by the end of the 90's, in the UK at least, equality was ingrained into society so status, rights, and opportunities between the sexes was on a level playing field.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was not entirely feminist propaganda but still had light touches to it. The things that bothered me was that Captain Marvel felt more like a Phase 1 film and didn't meet my expectation especially after the incident of Infinity War. This movie felt like it should have been released 10 years ago rather than now. Brie Larson as Captain Marvel didn't show much emotion or expression making me feel distant from her as a person and not easily likeable. Captain Marvel also reached the level of invinciblity at the end of the movie and I was not quite able to relate to the character. Other superheroes like Ironman and Captain America had flaws which every regular human can relate to but not with Captain Marvel.
Overall, it was a pretty average movie making this movie the third worst Marvel movie after Thor the Dark World and The Incredible Hulk.… Expand

Poor script that seems to follow a cookie cutter approach that result in a movie struggling to live up the hype, not helped by the wooden acting from larson, one would imagine the amazing samuel l jackson could atleast balance the movie outPoor script that seems to follow a cookie cutter approach that result in a movie struggling to live up the hype, not helped by the wooden acting from larson, one would imagine the amazing samuel l jackson could atleast balance the movie out but he is not given much to work with.

Action scenes are hard to follow and most of the movie you are spent wondering what is going on, to only have it be revealed by exposition.

Given the highs of the series such as captain america the first avenger it feels as if this movie has fallen flat by attempted political commentary over substance, while marketing itself as a landmark moment for feminism (sorry did these people claiming this not see wonder woman?).

Given this movie could have worked if elements were toned down, better editing was placed in to make it flow better and larson given acting lessons.

But we all know this will be ignored and blamed on trolls and males.… Expand

Sam Jackson was top notch as always but he alone couldn’t save the film. The story and acting, on brie’s behalf, just weren’t up to the MCU standards all the previous films have set. People go to movies to escape the bs going on in the ‘real world’ every day, be it politics, society clashes, blah blah. Just make good films and stop hiring people who for one can not act and secondly care more about promoting their own agenda instead of the actual movie they starred in. I hope End Game follows tradition for the MCU and doesn’t set captain marvel up for a huge role in the future of the MCU or else everyone will suffer; the fans and your bottom line.… Expand

But I think the writing out stunk her performance. Yes, Larson was terrible. She has no unique style or charisma and is quite bland and not worthy to headline a big budget movie that needs the audience to actually care about her character. The combination of misguided, amateur writing, and Larson's bizarre acting, made the Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel character seem like a hollow, impossible to relate to robot. And that's saying something when it took Anthony Daniels like 2 minutes to make C3P0 interesting in Star Wars A New Hope. Even the radio controlled R2D2 was a more sympathetic character than Captain Marvel.

Yeah, I know Larson is getting bashed harshly, but I'm not going easy on the critique because of that. She was playing a heroine, but came across like Sean Young's Blade Runner replicant or Kristanna Loken's T-X from Terminator: Rise Of The Machines. As I watched the movie, I couldn't stop looking at Larson like I would a car wreck. It was surreal and creepy. I'm not familiar with her acting but surely she does not act like that in every movie. But as I said, the story and all of it's many bad ideas was the worst thing about the movie. Marvel & the writers made their first misstep by setting it in the 90s all so they could retcon the MCU's past and make Danvers the first Avenger. The movie seemed to drag forever and contrary to reports...NO ONE SHINED IN THIS MOVIE!! Sam Jackson's Nick Fury was supposed to be younger but he seemed like a tired old man. Clark Gregg should have been used better. The bits with the cat were one of the worst things in any movie, EVER! The finale was like watching Superman VS The Riddler. I can't even call that a final fight. I am amazed that Marvel would make such a bad movie, even though Doctor Strange, Spider-Man Homecoming and both Ant-Man movies were flat lined bores. Infinity War was vastly overrated. But Captain Marvel....so bad it's possibly worse than Iron Man 2 and Thor 2.… Expand

It's our responsibility to check people just like we are checked every day. Sorry, I went off on a tangent.) honest opinions will make sense to them.

The Good: I really liked the Stan Lee tribute and cameo at the beginning of the movie. The Captain Marvel origin story is pretty good. Some of the acting was good. The special effects were good. The cat was great.

The Bad: The pacing of the movie is off (especially at the beginning). Too much story crammed into only a 2h 4m movie. Tons of expositions. The forced puns and jokes aren't funny (no one in the theater laughed at the obvious attempt). Bre Larsen's acting is mediocre and her range is lack-luster. The writing is kinda sketchy and bad in places (especially on WHY Captain Marvel is so over-powered and nigh God-like). The plot seems oddly familiar -- certain scenes are exceptionally reminiscent of Captain America. Captain Marvel has ZERO weaknesses -- at no point during the film do you feel or sense that Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers is in any danger. The "secrete" end credit clip honestly kind of turned me off from wanting to see Avengers Endgame. The way they portrayed it made it seem like Captain Marvel is completely taking over and will come to the Avenger's rescue and defeat Thanos all by herself.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ojito que van spoilers...
Bien, a lo que nos toca. Desde hace ya algunos días he venido escuchando y leyendo críticas de esta película, no quería creerlas pero tenían razón. La película es demasiado genérica, creo que la aparición de Collson fue lo único que realmente me llamó la atención y el homenaje a Stan fue lo unico que me gustó.
Yo no sé mucho del universo marvel; pero que los skrulls solo buscasen ser rescatados me pareció demasiado predecible, no me presenta algo que me mantenga al borde de la silla. Vamos, realmente solo quería saber como perdió el ojo Fury y hasta eso fue absurdo, en películas anteriores el dijo: La última vez que confié en alguien, perdí un ojo. Supuse que Carol, El Skrull (no recuerdo el nombre) o alguien cercano lo haría, jamás de los jamases pensé que sería el gato, y jugando al final de la película; eso fue un insulto muy grande. En fin, no deja nada establecido para End Game ni es relevante, supongo planean una secuela luchando contra los Kree pero me presenta la duda de como será. Se presenta a Ronan como el lider Kree y los guardianes ya lo vencieron, entonces no logro ubicar en que momento es que Carol va a luchar contra él sin presentar un problema argumental con las películas de los guardianes.
En aspecto técnicos no es mala; pero no destaca ni es visualmente atractiva. Concluyo, no es buena, si la van a ver que sea en DVD o en día de descuento porque no es ni relevante ni lo suficientemente entretenida como para un plan de fin de semana en pareja ni con los niños.… Expand

The introduction of the most powerful hero has the same character development and depth of the pizza delivery person in your favorite private movie. Disney played the Michael Bay card of a linear predictable action flick to appease an audience that just wants action without story. If you have any interest in the MCU then this is an awful way to introduce this character and spits in the face of Stan Lee’s vision that “I just tried to write characters who are human beings who also have superpowers”. This character lacks anything that it means to be human. We all sufferer from inadequacies in many manifestations but Larson just stumbles emotionlessly through this movie as she was sponsored by Prozac.… Expand

I went into this film with such high expectations given that it's the final MCU film before the highly anticipated Avengers:Endgame, and the huge push it got from Avengers: Infinity War post credits scene, in addition to all the official newsI went into this film with such high expectations given that it's the final MCU film before the highly anticipated Avengers:Endgame, and the huge push it got from Avengers: Infinity War post credits scene, in addition to all the official news that suggested Captain Marvel is going to be the face of the MCU and arguably its most powerful character. You might say i'm not being fair for holding an origin movie to that tremendously high standard, well, for the reasons i listed above, this isn't your Captain America: The First Avenger or your Thor origin film, it's a completely different ball game. We were told that this character is a game changer therefore, I expect no less.

I thought the movie was really disappointing in every way imaginable, it was such a let down! Nothing worked for me here, the writing was bad for the most part (except the major plot twist in the movie), the lead character's performance was stoic, bland and monotonic that I never felt sold. Carol Danvers lacked depth, she had no heart or let me say; her heart wasn't in it. Samuel L Jackson was acting out of character, which really turned me off, that is NOT the Nick Fury we know from the MCU, had it been a different character I would have probably liked it, but not Nick.
There wasn't enough of the remaining cast to say anything about them (apart from Ben Mendelsohn's Talos perhaps the only highlight of this film, besides the plot twist, of course).
The pacing in the first half was awfully slow, and the plot wasn't all that fresh, it was originally supposed to focus on Carlo Danvers trying to find herself and her re-discover her past, but they show none of that. All they show is few, quick random flashbacks here and there.

I'm absolutely disappointed of how the "new face of the MCU" turned out to be.… Expand

I was so bored during this movie. By the time the pace FINALLY picked back up near the end, it was too little too late. This entirely forgettable entry into this massive film franchise is completely skippable. You won't need to see this to understand what's going on in Endgame. Yes, there will be this new Captain Marvel character in Endgame, but all you really need to know is that she existed back in the 90's and finds her way back to the action "in the nick of time" once Endgame rolls around. One thing to note: Your experience of the MCU as a whole may be lessened if you see this movie or accept this movie as canon. They literally retconned Captain Marvel as the BEGINNING of the Avengers, as well as the battle for control of a certain macguffin that was central to phase 1 marvel's climax. They also introduce a plotline where there's little reason for the Kree to have largely ignored Earth all this time since the 90's. This is a pretty big plothole.

How does this rank compared to the rest of the MCU? It's right at the bottom; near but below Thor the Dark World and Iron Man 2. If Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 are both 2/5 stars, this one is 1.5/5 stars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched it last night (luckily my theater reward system gave me a free ticket for a movie so no wasted money). Right from the get go, the initial scenes didn't really serve to draw me in. Much of the movie I spent wondering what was the point of X scene or Y scene etc. Sadly, I was also spending time watching the time to see if the movie was near its end. **POTENTIAL SPOILERS INC** The de-aging of Coulson and Sam L Jackson was pretty bad in my opinion. It wasn't good enough to sell it and in various scenes including Sam Jackson's action scene it just didn't look right. Brie Larson's fighter pilot friend was actually pretty good as I got a lot of her emotions and how she felt when she lost her friend (Brie), and her connection with her kid was great as well. Compare that to Brie's emotions/acting I was honestly unimpressed. For an Oscar winner she wasn't able to really sell me her character or convince me to care about her. In many scenes when she tried to crack jokes or have snarky comments it came off forced and unlike her (maybe a "I'm trying to be the new RDJ"). I'm all for powerful superheroes but in this entire movie she made short work of all her enemies without really much of a struggle at all and at the end Jude Law versus her was anti-climatic. I think MCU really had a misstep on this one and one of their biggest mistakes was trying to shoehorn a superhero right before endgame and the last mistake was casting Brie as Captain Marvel, she doesn't really fit the character. I would say you could easily tell she was an actress trying to play a superhero which didn't work at all. I would recommend skipping this one and going straight to EndGame. You can literally read spoilers online and save yourself 2+ hours and a movie ticket.… Expand

One of the defining traits of a hero is the willingness to sacrifice for the good of others. The one sacrifice she makes is to blow the core of the ship, but it seemed more out of spite then in service to others. The rest of the movie is Carol being to powerful for the enemy to deal with. She flaunts her powers around immaturely as if expecting others to respect her because she has them. This is a trait I attribute to antagonists more then protagonists. This would have been a fine trait to have if it ment character growth, leading to her humbling herself.… Expand

Just watched this film this morning and i really regret watching this in theatre.
Let's start with good things :
- First opening action scene is really good
- Nick Fury was good and funny
- Sounds and visuals are good obviously coming from Marvel

Aaand everything else just falls flat to the ground i think Brie Larson here is terribly miscast she is really good in a slow dramatic movies but here it just doesn't work always stone faced even the smiles seemed very fake and cringe , director of this movie tried so hard to push this female power feminist ideas that she forgot to make a good movie in the first place.

The weirdest scene is when she all of a sudden starts flying out of nowhere and she is not even excited or surprised it felt so weird , also they overpowered her so much to the point where it seemed unrealistic to me that this irrelevant character is stronger than thor or hulk and all this came from a jet engine blast too what a joke.

Overall very disappointed in this film i would give 2 out of 10 to this film and for the sake of Nick Fury i give 3 i really hope Endgame is better than this .… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was bored frequently during this movie. I can only remember one fight scene and the rest were pretty forgettable. If you put aside the fact that Brie Larson was not the right choice for this movie, it's still a Marvel movie that nobody asked for, about an unpopular marvel character. And according to the credits scene, now we're stuck with Cap Marvel in the MCU moving forward. She will be a significant character and I'm losing interest fast.… Expand

But Brie Larson acting was terrible. I was shocked. Brie did not act very well and her athletic coordination does not exist. They need recast Brie Larsons role in the movie. It got to the point I was not sure if I was watching a Girl power movie or a Captain Marvel movie. The movie was just a bad movie. I was bored and checking facebook throughout the movie.… Expand

The film is very boring and too childish. The main character is boring and uninteresting. The worst Marvel movie and the worst cast

Я надеялся на хороший фильм, но увы.
Второстепенные персонажи интереснее главной героини, они перетягивают все внимание на себя. Так же не понравилось как некоторые актеры играют, возможно это из за плохого сценария . Но смотреть скучно, неЯ надеялся на хороший фильм, но увы.
Второстепенные персонажи интереснее главной героини, они перетягивают все внимание на себя. Так же не понравилось как некоторые актеры играют, возможно это из за плохого сценария . Но смотреть скучно, не затягивает. Тупые шутки, которые не смешные. Фиминистический настрой фильма очень сильно проявляется.
Зря потратил деньги на фильм.… Expand

A movie is meant to entice its audience with stuff that makes way for its characters to be explored. With Captain Marvel, one of the major issues lurks with this aspect and that's not helping it when we see the bigger picture in Endgame. TheA movie is meant to entice its audience with stuff that makes way for its characters to be explored. With Captain Marvel, one of the major issues lurks with this aspect and that's not helping it when we see the bigger picture in Endgame. The dialogues without the character being fleshed out felt out of place at many instances. The other major issue prevails in the messy structure and pacing towards the climactic build-up that leaves the viewers scratching their heads.The heroics marketing and capitalizing on its 'higher-further-faster' theme does not have enough justice or engage with the audience watching it. I feel this as a total wash-out with the already tested formula using the female led superhero aspect as its only true distinction from the rest and that to its unfair advantage. A clear disservice to MCU fans.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Good

Goose The Cat steals the show
Ben Mendelson as Talos the Skrull is a decent enough villain
Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is great as usual

The Bad

Brie Larson is terribly miscast and seems to possess only one emotion, bored and disinterested
when she tries to be funny, it just comes across as forced and falls flat every time
Captain Marvel is too OP, and as a result, its difficult for people to relate to her
Nick Fury gets the idea for the Avengers from the name on the side of Carols fighter jet
a cat is responsible for Nick Fury losing his eye, A CAT
Shield acquires the Tessaract when the cat coughs it up on Furys desk, totally retconning the events of Captain America The First Avenger
men are portrayed as either bad or incompetent throughout the movie
during one of the fight scenes, a song is played that is supposed to be some kind of female empowerment, but is just cringe worthy… Expand

In short, the story simply lacks heart. I was looking forward to this two-hour long addendum to the end credit scene in Avengers: Infinity War. Sadly, there are far too many easily avoidable flaws here to capture the imagination. I supposeIn short, the story simply lacks heart. I was looking forward to this two-hour long addendum to the end credit scene in Avengers: Infinity War. Sadly, there are far too many easily avoidable flaws here to capture the imagination. I suppose the good news is that Thor: Dark World has more company at the bottom of my MCU faves list now. The bad news is that Nick Fury's bizarre "meh" reaction to losing his eye near the end also sums up well my reaction to this film as a whole. Lazy writing and careless stewardship over the MCU continuity created wholly unnecessary disappointment for this fan.… Expand

Ok ok, first off I'm here on Meta Critic because if you review it on Rotten tomatoes and it's not positive they just take it down. This is propaganda. On to the movie. The special effects are good as always. However, it falls off a cliff inOk ok, first off I'm here on Meta Critic because if you review it on Rotten tomatoes and it's not positive they just take it down. This is propaganda. On to the movie. The special effects are good as always. However, it falls off a cliff in almost every other respect. I feel like watching a movie or reading a comic is all about escaping reality and just having a good time. So watching a comic book movie should really be about that. Instead politics and SJW stuff is being jammed in my face. I'm over it. I regret giving them my money.… Expand
