Just kind of "eh," with a similar plot. After 21 Marvel films, I'm sure most people who have seen them all will rank this one toward the bottom. Most. It was nothing worth getting worked up over for fans or the press. Brie Larson, as others have pointed out, was unemotive and bland. There are some special effects I found on par with the first "X-Men" movie. I found the amount of direct references and nostalgia overwhelming sometimes. It ironically took me out of the movie knowing Brie Larson was born in 1989, the year NIN released "Pretty Hate Machine." Does Brie Larson know that? I doubt it. It just doesn't "feel" like 199X. Bad reviews are not meant to hurt the feelings of those involved in the production. No one is trying to hurt Brie Larson or her career by saying they don't like or want to see this movie. It's just an opinion, not "trolling."… Expand

So it only gets a 3.
In Endgame it wasnt possible to run this self-deception about her anymore, because she completely ticked out, as if it was a completely different character all of the sudden... as if she was put into a cage for 3 years and treated horribly by her captors and of course completely invulnerable and more powerful than EVERY super hero combined. Just unbelievably silly. Even She-Ra and He-Man has more weaknesses than her, and more importantly, they were much more human-like, not like a robot trying to indoctrinate people (actually mostly children, which is even worse) with SJW fascism. And after seeing interviews with the actress, it completely destroyed that self deception, when seeing the movie again. Even her coworkers dont seem to like her much.… Expand

Probably the worst Marvel Disney film to date. Everybody involved creatively, phoned it in as well as Brie Larson’s performance. I totally agree with all the criticisms stated before. Waste of money.

Captain Marvel goes from confident badass to even more powerful confident badass. The problems stem from a script that's a structural mess, but even the effects and make-up look underdeveloped. Captain Marvel looks fake zooming around in space and the Skrulls look straight out of a show like "The Orville" - not a $152 million movie. Captain Marvel deserved better and so did the cast. Brie Larson is a great actress, but she's got nothing to work with here. Under better direction this could've been a worthy film of its empowering message.… Expand

Boring and uninteresting (and *uninterested* it seems), she just doesn't engage the same way as other contemporary superheroine portrayals. Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Alita: Battle Angel (Rosa Salazar) both deliver far more riveting and passionate performances.

Despite solid performances by fan-favorites Jackson and Gregg, Captain Marvel is the weakest Marvel movie so far. It's quite surprising Marvel is betting on Larson's Captain Marvel to be their new flagship hero, much like Robert Downey's Iron Man has been since the birth of the MCU.… 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. Too much nonsense in this film, the generic all powerful being that can't be hurt by anyone or anything aside, some of the crap they pulled off here really ruins the continuity of the past 10yrs of marvel films and she's apparantly the new face of MCU going forward?? the fact my theater was not full would speak otherwise, I've never been to an openeing of a marvel film where the theater and auditoriums were not packed, for Captain Marvel however, there were too many empty seats.
The problem with the movies is just the forced aspects of it's political messages which they are not shy from shoving in your face whatsoever and it gets real stale after the first 10 times of hearing, I'm better than you at xyz "cause i'm a chick"
some people are saying this film is getting "hate" because its lead by a female...yet Alita battle angel is literally an badass female killing machine and the audience score for that is in the high 90's, WW could basically be the poster child for women and her film and audience score was amazing. So you're telling me the same men who loved those female lead movies are now hating on this simply because the lead is a female!? grow up, the film just isn't good and the actress is not likable.
Spoilers ahead...

one of the dumbest things for me was the fact that they explain how fury lost his eye in the MCU...to the cat in the captain marvel film...SMDH
and in end credits she shows up like a troll asking where Fury is in the current MCU avengers universe...… Expand

Larson's smug snout and constant overacting. Bland inconsequential stereotypical story with one twist that is seen from miles away. Main character is a cardboard cutout with inexplicably way too much power. As per the norm with Marvel bubble gum movies, this lacks any directorial style, the action fails to generate a drop of adrenaline, and the editing is messy. The story of how Fury lost his eye is diminished to some lame joke. Coleson's involvement is minimal.

Law, as usual, performs well, but lacks a proper script, and Jackson is one of the few bright-ish spots in this mess. How did it get a billion?… Expand

A film that doesn't respect that audience's intelligence, with a wildly incoherent narrative spun via a bland script, uninspired and overly edited action scenes, a wildly incoherent and poorly portrayed protagonist whose plank-like expression inspires no pathos whatsoever, and a jumble of mixed lore that not only clashes with what we already know of the MCU and reeks of retconning, with a sort of "oops, we forgot to introduce this character earlier, but they're super important and great at everything and somehow missing during the last 20-odd movies, so here they are, I guess?!" vibe to the whole charade. Mendelsohn and Law are the only ones who get out of this scot-free. There's something approaching the uncanny valley with how Samuel L. Jackson has been de-aged. I'm not exactly jazzed thinking about how much of the film's budget went into that effect, when they could have spent it actually trying with the weak action scenes. I mean, hello?! Infinity War and Black Panther both made over a billion dollars! They had time to do reshoots and rewrites, surely! There's no excuse for poor action, weak acting, or lazy storytelling in a major Marvel movie going forward. I'll be honest - the moment I saw that they were using the late Stan Lee's (RIP) Twitter account to promote this film was the moment I turned against this film. I felt disgusted for giving these corporate hacks my money and cheated that the man-hating Larson's character will be the new face of the MCU going forward. Whatever happened to all the characters we invested so much time and love in? Whatever happened to treating your fans with respect?

I'm going to see Endgame for sure, but after that, I don't know anymore... I'm getting burned out on these cookie-cutter films.… Expand

This film reminded me a lot of "Alita: Battle Angel"; so much potential to be amazing, yet ultimately falls flat on its face due to a horrible script and a bland Mary Sue protagonist. From a non-political standpoint, the film fails completelyThis film reminded me a lot of "Alita: Battle Angel"; so much potential to be amazing, yet ultimately falls flat on its face due to a horrible script and a bland Mary Sue protagonist. From a non-political standpoint, the film fails completely to create a world worth emotionally investing in. The lead actress has already been proven to have amazing talent as seen in "Room", yet in this movie she has the acting abilities of Kristen Stewart from "Twilight" and Milla Jovovich from the early "Resident Evil" movies.

Rather than this, the protagonist has virtually no flaws and is deemed a literal "god" by everyone for being perfect and all-powerful in every way imaginable. There is no struggle or conflict in this movie; just a poorly edited montage of explosions and deaths until the predicted end goal is achieved by the protagonist.

But the main crime of this movie is it's absolute failure to push it's third-wave feminist agenda.

It is clear that the focus on this movie was to push the third-wave feminist agenda to the extremes; that women all have the potential to be just as good, or even better, than men. However, to try and prove that point in a fictional movie only backfires on itself. That's because there's plenty of real-life examples of amazing woman that such supporters of this movement can be praised for, and because the film reasserts that the accomplishments of men are the golden standard that everyone else, including women, needs to try desperately to live up to or succeed.

Why do we have to have such messages forced and pushed in fictional worlds in order to be recognized or deemed "true"? Why can't women be amazing for doing their own things or for being themselves instead of only recognizing women that meet or succeed the benchmarks left by men? We each have our own strengths and weaknesses that compliment one another when we work together. Women and men are not inherently equal in virtue, but they are in value and for the things they are able to accomplish on their own that men will never be able to do. In conclusion, this film isn't even worth waiting until it's on Netflix to watch. There's nothing of entertainment or moral value in this movie that makes it truly worth remembering or recognizing.… Expand

Wooden acting from the lead actress and a confusing (and at times predictable) plot. I was so bored the whole way through that I checked to see if the movie was over about two dozen times and every single time I did, there as still far too much runtime left.

Possibly the worst superhero movie Marvel has ever made. I didn't care about ANYTHING in this movie. The plot, the characters, the "stakes", none of it had any meaning to me. I have to wonder who this movie was made for in the first place. I'm a casual MCU viewer (wouldn't really count myself as a "fan" yet) and I failed to find anything of value in this movie, so maybe it's for more hardcore fans of the series? Certainly it wasn't for me.

If 1/10 was Game of Thrones Season 8 and 5/10 was Avengers: Age of Ultron (a painfully average movie), I'd give this movie a 3/10.… Expand

We're given no reason to care for her. She's cocky and arrogant (like many comic-book super-heroes), but has no redeeming qualities to offset that. Her stoicism doesn't make it any better. Imagine Thor without the character growth - where he KNEW he was worthy, no matter what happened. That's Carol Danvers, and it's off-putting.

The action is poorly-paced, poorly-framed, and so ubiquitous that it becomes boring. Think "Transformers: Dark of the Moon". I actually liked the action in Thor: The Dark World more. Let that sink in.

Hopefully the other writers/directors for her next (of seven or eight guaranteed films?) movies will have a more palatable approach. It has to be difficult, though, when the character is so unlikable. I don't necessarily blame Brie Larson for this, but she definitely seems to lean hard into Carol Danvers' poor traits. Maybe that was the way she was directed. I hope so. I can't imagine this character, as depicted by Brie Larson, fitting in with the rest of the Avengers. She seems the type that would have all the wrong kinds of friction with the other heroes.

I can't recommend this movie - not even for those few Captain Marvel fans. Maybe it's just a stumble out of the gate, with the next movie featuring the character being better-made. Let's hope so.… Expand

TL;DR I was starting to like Captain Marvel, even with Larson's bad performance, and then the third act made her a Mary Sue and ruined everything for me.

I disagree with people who describe this movie as meh, mainly because this movie madeTL;DR I was starting to like Captain Marvel, even with Larson's bad performance, and then the third act made her a Mary Sue and ruined everything for me.

I disagree with people who describe this movie as meh, mainly because this movie made me sad. There is just so much wasted potential as it is obvious that the premise itself has the works of a good story in between, but one which the movie fails to deliver.
The Story: The premise is very interesting but the main reason this movie doesn't work is the lack of tension. There is never a moment where you actually feel concerned for the well-being of the main character, and very few moments where you are concerned for the supporting characters. And even then, the tension is never allowed to build but is quickly dispelled. This is especially problematic here because this movie takes place in the past. If you remember how tensionless the action scenes with Legolas were in the Hobbit because Legolas is alive and well in LoTR, you know what I mean.
The script is poorly written which causes a lot of threads not sufficiently explored (i.e. the Kree-Skrull conflict, the nature of Danver's powers....)
You can pinpoint exactly where the movie kind off falls apart, which is the beginning of the third act. That's where Captain Marvel becomes... well a Mary Sue basically since she's infinitely powerful and has no apparent weakness. at this point you are just waiting for the movie to end because there are no stakes at this point really.

The Direction: To cut it short; bad direction. The movie doesn't have a distinct visual style, let alone one conducive of a particular mood. The line delivery of multiple actors are generally bad to the point that in some scenes I'd actually laugh and wonder how do these scenes made it into the final cut and who thought it was a good idea. The flash backs are in many cases not very well intertwined with the main timeline. The pacing however is OK.

The Acting: Virtually everyone outperfroms Brie Larson in performance (Except Mar Vell), which gets distracting very early on. Larson's performance is awkward, bland, emotionless and uninspired. In fact I can't remember how many times her terrible performance turned me off while I was starting to care about Captian Marvel and her conflict.
Action and special effects: Action is pretty O.K, special effects are very good.… Expand

Twisted storytelling ruins movie. I'm all for nonlinear approaches to origin stories, but clearly this approach didn't work. I just can't believe the producers and the director looked at the script and decided that it was ready to make.

This movie is nothing special, it is yet another superhero movie that has the same tired, boring, and awkwardly paced storylines that have plagued most superhero movies in recent memory... and there in lies the problem, there is mass fatigueThis movie is nothing special, it is yet another superhero movie that has the same tired, boring, and awkwardly paced storylines that have plagued most superhero movies in recent memory... and there in lies the problem, there is mass fatigue set in with these MCU/DC movies because they get pumped out every year or so, and while there are great ones mixed in between, the majority of these movies just blend in with one another and Captain Marvel suffers the same fate.

Brie Larson, regardless of her politics, just did not bring anything to the table, I don't know what it is about her because I know she can be an incredible actress, but in this movie, she seems to be so wooden and emotionless that it's hard to tell if she is trying to come across as stoical or this is not a role she was suitable for. I haven't seen her enjoy a role since 21 Jump Street or Room.

The rest of the cast is borderline forgettable, I enjoyed some of the buddy talk between Danvers & Fury, and there were some fun quips between them, but beyond that I struggle to remember parts of the movie I thoroughly enjoyed because I could just see where the plot was going and it wasn't enough to captivate me. I honestly caught that feeling of waiting/hoping for it to end so I could see how this movie will connect to Endgame.

In all honesty, outside of Civil War, Infinity War, Guardians Volume 1 & 2, and Homecoming, I have not enjoyed this 15 year stretch of MCU movies because I feel like there were just too many and that a superhero movie is only gonna go one way. I don't want to delve into a plot analysis because I don't want to ruin any potential spoilers for people who want to see this, but it was a tad too predictable if you consider previous origin story movies.

+ Great visuals
+ Fun moments between some characters
+ I can still appreciate the theme of motivating girls/women to achieve their goals and go beyond their limits

- Brie is not at her best in this role
- Forgettable characters
- Predictable plot
- Awkward pacing
- Predictable character arc for Danvers (no weaknesses)
- Terrible marketing campaign
- Some hamfisted political themes

If this was any other Marvel movie I had the same complaints about, it would be a 4 or 5, but because this movie seriously lacks fun and interesting characters, has the same blueprint as every other superhero film, and decided to politicize its marketing campaign based on personal feelings and ideologies, this a solid 3 for me.

I have no doubts in my mind that this film will do good in the box office, every MCU film does usually, but for the love of entertainment, can we please just leave politics out of movies and their promotions? I think it would be great for younger girls to see this and takeaway the fact that they can pursue their dreams like anyone else, but when the overarching message is that White Males are the problem and we should see them as the bad guys, then this will set a bad example for them in the future.

Also, side note, while Metacritic has not been too terrible with the purging of troll reviews like other sites (something about a tomato) based on user scores, if you're going to delete the reviews that give 0/10 (which I totally agree should be deleted) that are made by trolls to trash the film and its ideologies, then why is it okay for the 10/10 reviews that people leave to "balance them out" remain on here without even seeing the film... There needs to be consistency, not hypocrisy.… Expand

I don't know if it was the distortion of her origins or the way Disney/Marvel portrait the male antagonist character as a weak figure trying to keep Captain Marvel down. Their relationship is portrayed like a couple were the man is keeping the woman down and it wasn't until she leaves him that she finds her real power. This movie is trying to channel the energy of Wonder Woman, but it is missing the heart that made Wonder Woman so compelling and for that reason, it fails at delivering and connecting with the audience. The one bright spot is Samuel L. Jackson's, Nick Fury. He is the one redeeming part of this movie. He is funny and engaging. I only hope they can redeem this character in the upcoming Avenger: Endgame or Disney/Marvel would've squandered one of the most powerful and complex characters in their roster.… Expand

The recon to the MCU is insulting, and wait until you find out what happened with Nick Fury's eye.. it's absolutely insulting. This is why I don't want to watch movies with sjw nonsense surrounding it. The script they gave her was bad, her acting was mediocre, but I can't blame her, they didn't give her a lot to work with, she did her best with what she could. This movie is by no means a 1 or a 5. At Max it Should be a 2.5. WW was great, Alita was great, and so many other female lead movies are great, but those who push an agenda, apparently can't write a half decent script.

By far the worst MCU movie, once she has her powers there is no excitement to be had. She is basically Superman, and what made Superman interesting is the fact he fought against people who are equal to his strength. This movie should not have been made, the fans wanted a black widow movie so badly, and it would've been better if we had one. Don't trust the professional reviewers as they have come forward that they do "access journalism", which means that if they leave a bad review, they won't be invited anymore.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have become genuinely concerned with the film/Creative Industry. In short this title feels completely isolated and lost. This continuous flow of political pandering and playing it safe is hurting Marvel. A brand that has left us with a legacy of characters we have come to fall in love with; building a unique global relationship with the comic heroes. Jackson (Nick Fury) manages to retain any credibility bringing the notes of nostalgia with perfect delivery. Nevertheless the rest seems to fall short in a soulness and lifeless display making the audience feel very little for the cinematic experience and narrative. Unfortuntely my biggest fears were brought to fruition with CM's integration into 'Endgame'. This fundamentally feels like the wrong decision and further highlights the dissociation with the core audience. I would strongly advise others to save their wallets and keep their expectations low which is saddening to say. In summary the Disney affect is not always popular or positive. I hope the collosal void between the 'journalistic' perspective and those that fund these usually great experiences of escapism is duly noted.

The character development is absolutely terrible, it's actually worse than some random anime. Carol faces no struggle (unless you consider playing baseball as a girl a struggle), and the shocking plot twist that's supposed to be life-changing gets wiped away after 5 minutes, all while her acting/expression conveys little emotion and is unnatural. The "hero" gets unlimited power for basically no sacrifice, struggle, or hardship, if we compare her to the likes of Ironman or Thor or Captain America.
The boss fights feel like I'm watching Dragon Ball Z. She suffers DC Superman syndrome, you can leave all other characters at home and the result of the fights will be the same.

3. Should have used Girls just want to have fun rather then I'm just a girl for the big fight.
4. The editing seemed very slapped together.
5. Most of the dialog seem monitoned most of the time except for Fury and 1 or 2 others moments. 6. Most of the main characters and secondary characters were basic.
7. Not once did I ever feel like the Main character has in trouble or in danger of even losing something it was just OP story with no real point but to put in a character that's to OP for someone's reasons.

The story is horrible, the acting of Brie Larson ridiculous.
She acts like a B-Movie villian, not a AAA super hero. The story is lame, the CGI weak, the acting doll-like and endeavored seriousness.

Brie Larson is a complete miscast as Cpt.Marvel. It is unsympathetic and has no potential for identification. Emily Blunt would have been a much better choice for the role, but Disney has opted for an actress who understands neither the character nor the MU and rather invites her with her questionable theses to racial thinking.

Good Job Disney! Very Family friendly!

About the manipulation of the Box Office by Disney and its affiliates regarding Cpt. Marvel, let's ignore it. It speaks for itself and the confidence in their character and the franchise.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a terrible movie- had some good laughs, and Samuel L. Jackson as Fury is, as always, a delight- but by God, Captain Marvel the character was BLAND. I've heard some people attribute this to the memory-wiping/brainwashing she endured, but come ON. At no point in the movie was she anything but a Strong Female Character(TM) that made a few smart quips and kicked butt.

Like, let me highlight a little bit of this for you with a **SPOILER**: There's this part where she apologizes to the Skrulls for participating in the Kree's (more or less) genocide of their race. Talos says it's cool, war means everyone's hands are dirty, no harm done. I'd argue that her fighting for the Kree is the most controversial thing about her in this movie (the rest is, as I said, bland beyond words).

But this apology is undermined by two things:

A) Captain Marvel is also a victim of the Kree. She has been manipulated into helping them in this fight. They took advantage of (or deliberately wiped) her memory/lack thereof, and so the average viewer could dismiss it as "It's not REALLY her fault, she was brainwashed."

B) We never actually SEE her participating in any of this slaughter. We see her participating in a recovery mission that ends with them being ambushed by the Kree (i.e. blatantly painting them, to us and Danvers, as the enemy). We never see her actually doing anything morally questionable towards them- if Marvel/Disney wanted to paint a picture of a deeper character, a solider who has committed wrongs (intentionally or not) and needing to atone for them, it would have made for a much better character.

But silly me: Then she wouldn't be a ROLE MODEL for little girls, and God knows that's all female characters need to be. Strong enough that she can flatten her enemies without a real fight (she BARELY even got knocked around in that big fight towards the end), never makes any significant mistakes, and is easily trusted/accepted/forgiven by all the right people.

We have a word for that. It's a "Mary Sue", and despite what Certain People whine about that term, IT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT.

Bad show, Marvel/Disney. You could've made Captain Marvel a beautifully developed personality like Iron Man, Thor, Wonder Woman, etc. Instead you chose to play it safe so you could sell toys and brag about how you made a female superhero film and how ~feminist~ you are.… Expand

I know there has been discussion outside regarding cast comments, and sincerely, I just went into the movie and forgot about those things, as what matters for me is the film itself, and its ownFirst, this is a review of the movie itself. I know there has been discussion outside regarding cast comments, and sincerely, I just went into the movie and forgot about those things, as what matters for me is the film itself, and its own merits. I am a big fan of the comics and the MCU, and so although I wasn't familiar with this character, I was looking forward to her introduction and understanding how this will impact the MCU. I also know that having a very overpowering character, like Superman, is harder to relate to, so I went into the movie already willing to give them some slack, but hoping they could pull it off and make an awesome movie.
Unfortunately, for many reasons, the movie is simply bad. And yet, it had many things in it that show it could have been much better, so maybe there is hope for a sequel in the future, and are definitely things that can be changed. Let me explain. I think the easiest way to describe how I felt during the movie was that I cringed a lot.
First, I had heard that the main Actress Brie Larson was a really good actress. I can't comment on that as this is the only movie I saw with her, and I definitely want to see other of her works now so I can get a better opinion. But in this movie, her character was portrayed in a very abnoxious manner in most of the film (you know when a person can't be nice or kind to anyone, but just wants to act like a know-it-all jerk?). I don't know whose decision this was, maybe she was asked to portray it this way. There are though some better moments, in particular in the ship with Fury, and with her best friend's child, that she is more likable. I just wish we had seen more of that. I think the tone for her came off unnecessarily cold and again, the way I felt was that it was just being abnoxious. Now, I think this is something that she and they can change going forward, but it did not help when they are introducing us to a new character. This is even worse taking into consideration that they really need audiences to like her, given how difficult it is to connect with such an overpowered character, as is Captain Marvel's case. So, her acting was way off, and I don't know why, and I don't want to put in question her capacity, hence my wanting to see other works from her.
Anyway, moving on. The second most impactful problem is the production and editing. The movie is a long string of moments that should be of either emotion or great action, but that fall flat. I really feel they wanted those moments to be really grand and epic, and I think they actually could have been, but they just felt rushed and unearned, which actually turned them into really cringy. And this is the problem for me, I think that Captain Marvel's story was actually all there, there were lots of good pieces, which were presented, but the way they brought this together, the timing and presentation was beautiful visually, but was just rushed and felt really off for me, personally. So I really feel that it wasn't a lack of compelling story or character motivation, just the way the final cut flows. Those emotional moments, and the action, they were lacking either some more development, or not to be rushed or so obvious. The Skrulls (and Ben Mendelsohn) were great, it was always nice to have Fury and Coulson (I'm a big fan of the Agents of Shield, Coulson is such a charismatic character). Ok, having been unbiased about the movie, I do need to address honestly the Feminism question. I am a person who really enjoys that there are movie with strong female leads, with great stories to tell. And I think Marvel has a lot of potential they still have not taken advantage in terms of female characters to tell more stories about (I mean, Scarlet Witch and Black Widow have been great until now, and I would love to hear more of their stories, and have them lead their own films, i think they deserve more attention. And the actresses have done great!).
I know that some of the directors and cast were open about the feminism part. I have no problem with that. I just feel that it was cringy to force Director Fury to act dumb in some situations, just to give Captain Marvel an air of "gotcha", hey, let me lead you. That is just not necessary. I think audiences deserve much better. I loved Alita, which had a great female character and was an awesome movie. In this movie, I felt they always had to prove that Captain Marvel was better than the men around her, and sincerely, it was cringy. The movie is bad, because Brie Larson's acting is bad, and the production was way off.
But, I think those are two things that they can turn around I and sincerely hope they do, and if they do, I will enjoy watching what they do in a sequel. Ah, did I mention I loved what they did with the Skrulls? Well done on that point! And yes, that cat it is cool!… 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. Brie Larson is horribly miscast, her attempts at being "spunky" feel awkward, forced and unlikable. Her playfulness feels aggressive and defensive instead of innocent. A part of it - but not all - is her face. I think she has a very unfortunate facial structure that just doesn't really allow her to carry this kind of "high status female"/vamp charisma the role would require, and her acting does not come close to compensating for it either, with her mostly seeming like her real life self that can't find the balance between genuine banter and arrogance, usually trending towards the latter.

The feminism stuff (including the marketing) annoys, the jabs at immigration - while sacrificing the source material - annoy as well (which is basically the entire storyline), her powers feel very unearned within the context of the MCU and also aren't properly explained. In particular, humans aren't supposed to be able to withstand the power of an Infinity Stone. I guess a lot of it could be more forgivable if it was a completely standalone movie in its own universe, but that's not what it is and not what it is marketed as either.

I admit it's not as bad as I expected - my expectations were indeed extremely low. The movie execution still shows baseline competence that I guess you can expect from a Disney production, it's not a complete disaster in every way like Ghostbusters 2016 was. They likely have so many experienced people in the technical department that even some flaws in the story, acting and direction cannot throw it off. The cinematography seemed okay to me, but I'd have to see it again. Incidentally, that's the one part they didn't diversity-hire a woman for. But it was still not good at all in the end. I suppose a good analogy is The Last Jedi, which had very related flaws, but still was nice to watch due to Disney's technical competence.… Expand

Captain Marvel has been shoved down the throats of comic readers for decades, but nobody has ever really got into the character so it has been reinvented time and time again. Here we have another blatant attempt by Marvel to make Captain Marvel happen, but falls face first due to a lackluster story, two dimensional villains, and poor acting on Larson's part. I feel really sorry for Elizabeth Olsen, Scarlet Witch was dumbed down in strength for the big screen and it's clear she has been sidelined by Marvel for Captain Marvel to swoop in and save the day. But this isn't a character we are invested in, not like Olsen's Scarlet Witch. Marvel had big shoes to fill with this movie, and it simply isn't up to par with other movies in the genre, in terms of visual style, special effects or acting.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My expectations were low, and I was still disappointed. There were a lot of flaws with this. A lot that felt out of place. Honestly, Sam Jackson felt like he was Morgan Freeman in Driving Miss Daisy. In every scene they were together it felt as if Fury was just the focal point cause he had to be. At no point in the movie did I feel like Larsen was a focal point. No scenes really made me feel that she was this omnipotent defeater of Thanos. It felt like they retconned the entirety of their implied universe. There was so much that didn't make sense. So the Skrulls are now misunderstood victims? What? Mar-Vell was a woman who had the tesseract on earth to save the Skrulls? Larsen never spoke, never gave a triumphant speech, never took center stage at all. She felt like a side character in her own movie. She didn't steal any scenes at all. The bland crescendo flying through space destroying things while Ronan cowardly left was incredulous. He stood up to Thanos, DEFIED THANOS and he cowers to her? I do not understand the point of this movie. It was poorly formulated, mediocre and just left me indifferent.

Why then did it end up with so many poor decisions? From the get go the main character lacks a distinct and appealing personality. She begins already stronger than any of her companions (and levels up in power twice during the movie) and essentially waltzes through the movie without suffering any physical, mental or emotional challenges (not that this would have been easy to tell given how wooden the main actress is, her face is botox level rigid throughout). All they had to do was humanize her a little, have her get her ass kicked during the early stages of the film, have her be desperately running for her life when she gets to earth instead of strolling casually around as though she's at the mall. There's no sense of urgency or passion at all from the character and though they heavy-handily shoe-horn in some dramatic 'hero' moments (e.g. doing the rising from the dirt, brushing the dust off thing) there is absolutely no sense either that she has earned it or that she has the moral integrity to deserve such power. The film and character can't help but be compared to Captain America, a movie in which the main character shows his spirit as a stick thin weakling, willing to take a beating for his principles (and get back up again), throw himself on a grenade to save people who mocked him, and use his brains where others use superior physical power. The movie did a fantastic job of showing why he was a hero outside of his super-powers. Setting all this aside the movie also suffers from plot-holes, terrible music choices that clash badly with their scenes, and humor that falls way below Marvels usual standard. This could well be the weakest offering in the MCU and leaves me hoping any cameo in Infinity War is brief and unimportant.… Expand

Brie Larson was horribly miscast. From past films, she can obviously act, but gives little evidence of it here with her wooden, charisma-free performance. She keeps the same one-note expression throughout most of the film, whatever is happening to her.

Captain Marvel has no personality, character arc or growth as a person. She never really seemed to be in peril, which meant there was no tension or excitement in the movie and I never identified with her at any point.

The story is corny, the script is poor,(with a not-so subtle feminist agenda), some of the fight scenes are choppily edited and the special FX look cheap. Oh and the much-vaunted cat is a mere gimmick.

Several things are clumsily retconned to shoehorn this character into the MCU mythology. These revelations make no sense and leave the mythos all the poorer for it.

I gave it credit for the supporting cast, especially Samuel L Jackson who is as good as ever (despite the film absolutely ruining his character) and for some of the jokes.

Still, this is one of the worst, if not THE worst MCU film. If Captain Marvel is going to be the face of the MCU going forward, I may not bother with their films after Endgame.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not gonna lie. Not a fan. I hoped this would be a lot better than it was. It let me down. It was pretty mid, tbh. Fury, the Cat, the VFX and Talos ended up being the good bits. Seriously more trash than I expected and I was already let down with the direction they were going from creator/director comments but I still gave it a try.

How are you gonna have your main character be so OP without real reason or sense of scaling and then have little to no actual reason for the audience to care about her? I mean, come on.

Plus, what the hell was up with that girl song during the fight scene? Did something go wrong with audio mixing in post? Did you hire someone from a Netflix show to handle that bit or something? It was just jarring.

Also, girl power is one thing but there's no point in making the agenda so blatant that it harms the character. Oh, I fail at things, sure, but I need a man to tell me I can't do them before I work up the motivation to do anything?

Also, the cat and Fury's eye? Are you joking with me right now? Her Air Force call sign being Avenger instead of Cheeseburger? Fury not calling her for two end of the world events he had prior warning on but could pull it out seconds before the snap?

Not to mention rewriting Mar-Vell as an old woman and then not even making that woman a hero? Making Monica a little girl that looks up to Carol? Are you joking right now, Marvel?

What is this actual trash that you're feeding us?
