This movie just at times sticks it nose to comic book lore and the jokes fall flat in my opinion and that's how Nick Fury lost his eye??????????????BS!!!

The acting by the Brie Larson is wooden and emotionless and lacks any charisma that other mcu characters had. The script is poorly written and doesn't work at all. Given how previous marvel movies have been solid this is a let down in comparison.

I've seen wood planks which could outperform Brie Larson. I've seen tuna sandwiches that are more entertaining than Captain Marvel.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The CGI was poor Samuel L. Jackson and Goose the Cat were the only good thing about Captain Marvel. Brie Larson's Emotionless performance lacked acting range and she is boring and uninspiring. Nick Fury how he lost his eye to a cat was a complete disservice to this Marvel character. Jude Law and Mendelson could not save this snore fest of movie. Annette Benning even though she is a good actress could not help the movie either. Make sure you have a caffeinated beverage when watching this movie. Brie Larson had no weaknesses was powerful throughout no real challenge for her or character devolpment. The fight sequences were lackluster and dull the villains are underdeveloped. Save your money and skip this movie.… Expand

In short Larson is a monotone automaton with little to no personality, I found a few instances where she showed some emotion and interest but they were few and far between. As to the story in my opinion it is too disjointed, the flashbacks make little sense and don't provide any character development. Speaking of character development, there is none for any of the players in this movie we literally are not invested in any of them and for me the one person who stood out and made the movie for me was who I would consider one of the "main" characters in the film was Coulson...that says something when the rest are just there with little to no standouts in performances. In short better than The Green Lantern but not by a lot I can't say it doesn't have its moments because it does but I certainly wouldn't sit through it again, if you are a Marvel fan then go see it by all means you will not be blown away but again that's just my opinion.… Expand

Angels of death
The show really shows it is an adaptation of a video game made in rpg maker and in a bad way. It feels like no one put any effort into the writing and no one ever stopped to think about what it was they were doing. TheAngels of death
The show really shows it is an adaptation of a video game made in rpg maker and in a bad way. It feels like no one put any effort into the writing and no one ever stopped to think about what it was they were doing. The characters are mostly terrible especially the main girl whose only character trait is she wants to die. It is not that she has depression or anything(that could have been explored with nuance and understanding) instead she is simply edgy for the sake of what i only assume is shock value. She barely has any dialogue and when she does it is the same thing over and over. The other main character, zach has a good character design and voice actor but not much more than that, they attempt to develop his character but at least for me it did nothing to change my opinion on the character. The other side characters are nothing special, being quite typical for something in the horror genre. One side character who appears towards the back end of the show is a religious figure and that brings me to my next point. The show tries to have "hidden" themes and things to say, the main one being its comments on religion. It crams in religious language and imagery in the back end of the series but not intelligently whatsoever. Instead it feels like the show is saying "this isn't just a normal anime, we're smart and are teaching you something" without realising there isn't really a message in the show, just a lot of threads that lead no where and give me the impression that the show is up its own ass and is so impressed with itself. The show is also riddled with plot holes and elements that simpy make no sense, from a character spending half the season with a hole in him bleeding out yet being absolutely fine in the end to the main girl who up till this point had not been violent and very quiet decides to controll a minigun and mow people down for some reason. It's a mess. Another thing is that the shows main genre is horror yet it seems not to know how to display horror on screen. The show relies on lazy jump scares and empty shock value which is completely ineffective and at some points laughable. It fails to be even slightly unnerving and this is from someone who avoids horror movies like the plauge because he is essentially scared of them. I must admit i did not get to the end as the end of the series was aired as specials after the main show had finished and that gave me an exuse to stop watching this trash. It genuinely gets on my nerves that people think this is good and especially when i see the female lead character high up on lists of best characters of the season or whatever the list is.… Expand

From the casting of Brie Larson and her appalling anti-(white)male rhetoric, the non canon story line, the OP status and future predicted role she might play in Endgame, the major vilification of the fan base from Marvel, Larson, Kevin, mainstream media, etc.. and the taking away of the public's voice on review sites such as RT.

I'm so disappointed in the people who hold no stakes or interest in the Marvel franchise or its fans (especially of the comics and the MCU) who have invested so much in this brand, and what they are doing to this beloved world of superheroes.

I'm simply disgusted in the whole process thus far.

About the movie itself.. nobody really liked captain marvel in the first place, the comic has been repeatedly restarted the last few years.. and that makes it a strange choice in the first place.
Movie captain marvel is ridiculously overpowered and self centered..
There is a feminist undertone throughout the movie.

I didn't like it at all, and when demanding people go see it and accusing people of trolling if they don't review it positively justifies my ultra low score.

Anybody feel free to see it and enjoy it if you can but understand that for original comic (book) fans, the way things are shaping up lately (2 years?) is unacceptable.… Expand

It doesn't help that the lead is played by Brie Larson, who on this film lacks any kind of charisma or likability, which would be fine if the character was an anti-hero, but she isn't, she's just simply unlikable generally.

There are three things to like in this film, Samuel L Jackson and Jude Law's performances and Captain Marvels cat, Goose, they are the true and dare i say only stars of the show.

If they make a sequel to this, they need to leave out out the man bashing as it's getting old now, and change the lead actress, due to her inherent unlikeability.… Expand

That being said, the only highlight of this movie was Nick Fury - who is only there for comic relief. The main character (captain marvel) is a charisma-less block of wood with zero personality, unless being bipolar is a personality. The best way I can think to explain the plot is to compare it to Rogue One. It's all over the place, and at times feels like it doesn't know where it's going - the pacing is an absolute nightmare. Overall, this is a movie that no one asked for, and that no one needed.

If this is how most super hero movies are, I think my staying as far away from them as possible was the right call.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off to all the Marvel fans that know your comic history… You are going to hate this movie as it breaks a lot of comic lore. Walter Lawson in now Wendy Lawson. Fury’s eye is lost because… well not going to spoil it but WHAT!?!?! Monica Rambeau is a little girl who’s mother, Maria Rambeau is Carol’s best friend from her previous time on Earth. Frank Rambeau doesn’t exist. Ok so there is a few of the lore breaking parts and if that starts your blood boiling avoid the movie.

I posted an “honest no spoilers” review on RT and it was removed because “I’m trolling”. Therefore, this review has spoilers at the end.

This is a perfect example of bad writing, poor directing and wrong casting.

Brie Larson is a miscast. She obviously isn’t cut out for this part as when it switches from serious to banter her body language and facial expressions look fake. In the beginning it is established she is too emotional but during the movie she lacks emotion. They have Carlson for that. When she tries to banter, she just comes off as petty and smirks. Her combat scenes are jumpy from bad editing. Not sure if this is because she lacked the skill to simulate combat or just bad editing. If I had my choice Yvonne Strahovski would have been in the part as she has the talent and combat skills from her previous roles.

Samuel Jackson is good at his part. They did a wonderful job making him look younger in the film and I do have to applaud the art team for this. However, his character is another story. Nothing scream who the heck is this as the scenes with the cat. Fury has always been a smart tough character until here where is inexplicably trusts aliens and acts a fool at times.

Editing is a nightmare. Enough cut scenes to make your head spin and eyes ache. CGI is ok and if you want explosions you got them. In fact every so often they toss it in to keep people awake.

Spoilers below

The movie starts out with a series of dreams/memories of Carol Danvers/Vers time on Earth. In this memory is a woman, Wendy Lawson and the memories end when the skrull shoots her. She wakes up and it is revealed she doesn’t remember her past. Soon she meets the Supreme Intelligence who imitates the woman from her dreams/memories. After that onto her first mission where she is captured on the alien planet where the mission takes place.

When the Skrull are probing Vers mind they somehow discover the planet in question is Earth. Vers breaks free and fights the Skrull of course escaping the ship in a life pod. In this life pod she crashes to Earth so some how they made the journey to Earth instantaneously. Yet later it takes days for backup to travel the distance.

After crashing to Earth she meets a security guard who witnessed this crash during the middle of the night. Asking for communication equipment he points her to a Radio Shack and the pay phone next to it. Suddenly it is day with the police and Shield arriving. Guard still sitting there and Vers is calling her squad from the pay phone she upgraded. Apparently several hours have passed before anyone responded to the call made by the guard when she crashed.

A few minutes are spent trying to establish the story as Fury meets Vers for a few minutes before the obligatory attack from the Skrull. They establish the Skrull can take the shape of anyone yet with just a look Vers realizes that an elderly woman is a Skrull punching her. The Skrull have infiltrated Shield and Fury sees his first dead Skrull realizing aliens are real.

Jump to the scene where Vers is outside a bar when a biker pulls up asking her to smile (Cringe). When she doesn’t, he pulls his keys and goes inside. Vers steals some cloths off a nearby mannequin before stealing the biker’s motorcycle. But she get the key’s?

For some reason she arrives at a bar in the middle of nowhere seeing pictures on the wall of a jet involved in a top-secret project. With no explanation Fury is there and they banter a bit because now Vers cannot tell if he is a Skrull agent. She asks him several personal questions to prove he is human because Skrull’s have the recent memories of those they imitate. So, without knowing Fury she questions him about his personal past?

Que top-secret base where Fury’s thumbprint lets him on accompanied by Vers who doesn’t need a cover or credentials because… Yet, after asking about Wendy Lawson they get locked up in an office because bases don’t have holding cells. With his communicator that they didn’t take from him Fury calls for backup. Escape from the office, meet the cat and sneak into the records room by blasting the doors because nobody hears it.

Now the obligatory combat scene because people in the theater are TEXTING/READING MESSAGES ON THEIR PHONES. I walk out smoke a cigarette asking the guy at the door what the hell am I watching. Go back to at least finish the movie but by now I am also reading Reddit posts.… Expand

The film is completely lacking in gravitas, and substitutes it with dumb, wishful & twee grrl-power. Ruins decades-old characters for what comes across as a petulant, childish tantrum. Obviously the writers, directors and crew have no idea what good sci-fi is, or what good comics read like or good films, for that matter, and thus fail on every parameter they could have possibly failed on. The MCU was becoming, against all odds, an incredible franchise, well executed so far. This film throws all that hard work out the window, and drags it down into Kardashian-like inanity. A Forced, unrealistic plot, with obviously untrue girl-power tropes shoehorned in and all the legacy characters being thoroughly uncharacteristic in order to elevate this mediocre "hero". It comes across as little more than an indulgent parent entertaining a tantrum from an ill-behaved and untalented child. Stupid, "woke" people making stupid, "woke" things to justify their own stupidity, and making the rest of us endure it. Absolute garbage. I hope nobody involved with this twee atrocity is ever allowed anywhere near a film-set ever again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film completely destroys MCU continuity and introduces an absurdly overpowered character that totally diminishes any concerns one might have combating Thanos in the future. Carol Danvers' origin story is bereft of any element necessary for a meaningful and interesting character arc. All great MCU characters overcome some personal character flaw that results in the emergence of a better version of themselves thus becoming a true hero. Danvers comes across as a bratty tween overcoming nothing except for the universal "patriarchy" represented as a neck restraint which she casts off reveling she was perfect to begin with. No arc; no substance; just virtue signaling and preaching. I could reference the bland emotionless childlike performance of Brie Larson. I could discuss, in depth, the atrocious physics errors of the film. However, as the banal story of the film already serves to destroy the MCU anyway, what's the point?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Was not planning to watch this movie due to the controversy but as a Marvel fan I had to give it a watch. The movie has great special effects and fight scenes but the actual movie is boring. I was dosing off through the midway point. I remember falling asleep during Boogeyman(2005) and The Trolls movie with my kids (luckily the movie theater sold beer and no I was not intoxicated) I thought Black Panther was just average but it was way more watchable than this. My 7 year old was excited to see this movie and she also lost interest.
Guess they wanted to up Wonder Woman, another crappy movie by making Captain Marvel the most powerful woman alive. They should have went with a male version. Brie tried too hard and failed. She now believes she is the most powerful woman in Hollywood today. I've seen her in Kong and 21 Jump Street and the also sucked. The WTF part of this movie was Fury losing his eye to a freaking cat. This movie was Garbage and no offense to the band Garbage. The highlights of the movie were the songs from Garbage and Nirvana. Until Endgame then, but I expect Brie to stick her face in there as well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally didn't like how they used the skrulls in this movie. I was expecting something much more engaging and threatening then some homeless Skrulls just looking for a new place far away from the Kree to live. In the Comics, these two Empires constantly fought to expand each of their territory, and they didn't care if anyone got hurt in the process if they got in their way while doing so! I expected way more action on earth then we got, but instead we ended up wasting too much of the film in useless moments and on a story of refugee Skrulls that really made no sense! Why for once could they just take a known story that worked from the comics and developed that into the movie? Also, I may be wasting my time asking this question, but why did they have to once again use an infinity stone to grant someone their powers when that was never the case in the comics?! I just hate it that Marvel decided to take a movie that could have been good and over complicate it with things like the Cosmic Cube, which, I am not even sure if in the comic was an infinity stone at all. My final thought on this is, the movie is mediocre at best. The best character in it wasn't even a person but a cat and most of the time was CGI at that!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brie Larson felt like she just phone in this role. Her emotions in this movie felt fake to me. one scene u see a a fake tear role down her cheek seemed like she just put a drop of water there. i hope the recast her like they recast bruce banner after the hulk movies. its like she didn't take her role serious at all. Plot was not good it was almost like EA's Battlefront 2 story mode plot pretty much and that was not a good plot either lol. meaning she switched side pretty fast from being a kree hero to helping the skrulls after trying to kill them... so Skrulls are the good guys some reason... and Captain marvel is the reason teh avengers are called the avengers... she wasn't even well liked in the comics when the first avenger movie came out.. plus how come nick fury didnt tell the original avengers that aliens were a thing in the 1st avenger movie? if he met CM and skrulls years before teh avenger movie. alot of retcon in this movie its almost like what the last jedi did to force awaken. and lastly a alien kitty scratched fury eye out but soem reason fury keeps the cat next to him with his own little cat bed.. after that epic scene in winter solider where fury shows his eye. he still trust the alien cat that scratched his eye out.. oh and teh movie fights were kinda lame the first fight scenes were to dark to understand whats going on. and when CM was fighting her old allies u will see CM destroying them but some how her mentor gets the upper hand out of nowhere. which was liek ok? how did that happen? she is able to body smash a kree fighter jet and one of those giant ships that ronen the accuser used in GoTG vol 1. movie was BAD.… Expand

The story reverses 50 years of one of the most basic elements Marvel canon that cuts across the whole Marvel universe, in order to identify one race as symbolic of the downtrodden and another as a symbol of the evil white Western Patriarchy. It is painfully transparent and dumb. Even worse, this movie completely destroys the character of Monica Rambeau, turning her into a cliched black child of a single mom. Even though in the comics Monica has a good father and becomes Captain Marvel, and the leader of the Avengers, years before Carol Danvers does.

I had heard many of the viewers criticisms but waited to see it to come to my own conclusion. This is the worse MCU movie to date. There are many things that make this movie the worst. First has to be the missed casting of Brie Larson as many critics have said her performance was wooden and lack luster with little to no change in expression through out the whole movie. It seemed the she doesn't take her part seriously and phoned in a poor performance. In the comics she is a strong leader, independent, positive, and heroic. None of these characteristics show up in Brie Larson's performance. Even at the big heroic part of the movie was flat and just a bunch of CG confusing stuff thrown onto the screen. Part of her performance must be blamed on a terrible, awful, uneven poorly written script. There were times where the dialog was so stilted from one character to the other it seemed like a poor high school play. Ex-specially the scenes between Brie L. and Samuel J. which many were played as the humorous (humor-less) scenes. The music was another of the problems with this movie. Unlike Guardians of the Galaxy where the music was well edited into the movie and enhanced the scenes. In this movie it was jammed into this movie to the point where it was jarring and took me out of the scene. The feminist agenda has to be talked about in this movie. In no other MCU movie up to now has an external real world agenda was forced into a movie that it changed the movie to the worst. I'm a long time Marvel comic book reader and was amazed and upset that the true origin of Captain Marvel was totally dismissed. The original Captain Marvel was male Kree warrior who decides to become one of the cosmic heroes that chooses to protect earth and its people. He ends up dying from cancer that was caused by the power he used to protect earth. Because of the feminist view they decided in this movie to totally dismiss the deep and rich comic history to displace with a weak feminist character. I have no problem to female lead characters but what I have a problem with is poorly written and acted ones. Conclusion: Poorly written, cast, acted, and choices all though this movie, where popular agenda out weighs good writing and choices. Skip this movie you really don't need to see this to watch "End Game"… Expand

Nick Fury was cinematically emasculated and allowed to do nothing more than coo and burble over a bloody CAT through the entire movie. Apparently Brie Larson couldn't tolerate sharing the spotlight with a character more 'masculine' than herself. And the Tessaract, a potentially WORLD-ENDING artifact which was previously fished out of the North Atlantic by Howard Stark after Steve Rogers ditched the plane carrying it--and himself--to save the North American eastern seaboard from annihilation? Nawwww... It was puked up on Fury's desk by the cat!!! Puh-LEEEZ! My five year-old granddaughter wouldn't buy that!

TL;DR: To call Brie Larson's performance wooden would be an insult to things made of wood. Brie has all the charisma of hot roadkill on a desert highway. She's the most badly miscast character since John Wayne played a kinda-squinty GenghisTL;DR: To call Brie Larson's performance wooden would be an insult to things made of wood. Brie has all the charisma of hot roadkill on a desert highway. She's the most badly miscast character since John Wayne played a kinda-squinty Genghis Khan in The Conqueror from 1956. Captain Marvel is aggressively-dull, pretentious, & crammed with persecution-complex/female-empowerment propaganda. Thematically the film is utterly-generic. The story is a pointless mess. Search for the post-credit scenes on Twitter, & you'll miss NOTHING for Endgame by skipping it. & you won't have wasted 2 & 1/2 hours of valuable air-sucking you'll never get back.

True comicbook fans can find 100 ways in which they disrespect the universe, but I'll critique the film as a Normy.

CM tries for the Marvel formula of irreverent banter, & mostly misses. The dialogue is meant to be witty, especially between the 2 Air Force feminists, but it drips with the kind of self-satisfied snark you see everywhere on Twitter. Both actresses try hard to seem like they're not trying very hard.

Several lines are absolute cringe. From a feminist caricature of a 'toxic male' pilot: “You DO know why it's called the COCK-pit, right?” Uuugghhh.

& from Brie Of The Lifeless Eyes herself: "I'm not gonna fight your war, I'm gonna END it." Delivered in her inflectionless, talentless monotone. Girlpower PUKE!

Then there's the Amnesia Trope. Writing your character with complete memory-loss should get you summarily sh*t-canned.

As for the "Protagonist": If you thought Rey from Star Wars was an insufferable Mary Sue, Brie Larson's Carol Danvers brings even LESS charm to the party.

They tried to write her as perfect, but what she is is perfectly-joyless. Brie thinks she's too much of a star to put in effort for the cameras.

Question for the directors: Why are Captain Marvel's "toxic male" co-stars always telling her she can't do stuff, & trying to hold her back? & what's happening behind her vacant, thousand-yard stare?

Brie delivers her lines like she's phoning them in from China, & her expressions were added in after by CGI artists in Dubai who are bored with their jobs.

As for the Special Effects, they ranged from spooky-good (the de-aging of Samuel L Jackson; never noticed it beyond the first few frames) to low-budget video-game-bad (an obviously-fake Brie Larson shooting obviously-fake proton-bolts from her fists in space, which don't even align with where she's 'punching.') When she FINALLY goes “full-superhero block-of-wood,” the scene is confused & phony AF!

She's not a believable combatant; not in hand-to-hand, not in a fighter jet, not in her computer-generated super-suit.

An important point; if you're not invested in the story, the over-the-top action gets tiresome quick. Who cares how 'splody the world gets when Optimus Prime defeats Megatron for the fifth time? Just get ON with it.

Admittedly Captain Marvel isn't as bad as the Transformers sequels, but it's by far the worst movie in the MCU. Made worse by Marvel shoving this horrible Mary Sue into a final showdown she's earned no role in. Captain Marvel earns nothing she's given, NOTHING, & that's how feminists want it. Disney's making her PIVOTAL to defeating Thanos.

That's pure, presumptuous pandering. & Brie thinks MEN have massive privilege.

The Bright Spots: Ben Mendelson as Talos, & a genuinely touching pre-scene tribute to Stan Lee. These, & some 90's nostalgia for the soundtrack, are all that's memorable in this otherwise belligerently-subpar cluster-F. Mendelson is so fantastic I was hoping the writers might've had a stroke & let him accidentally kill our bored-looking “savior.”

But no, Mary Sues aren't actual characters, who can be killed or defeated. They're avatars for the entire female gender - & to give the embodiment of All-Women-Everywhere any humanizing flaws would be to imply that women aren't perfect - so the writers were too terrified to let you think their Mary Sue might lose for even a second. Just ponderously-bad writing.

They should've given Goose the cat his own movie. The tale of Goose and Fury! THAT could've been fun, instead of gag-inducing. Oh, & the way Nick Fury looses his eye is so pathetic it's hard to believe it made it past all the levels of gatekeepers & into the movie itself. Good god, the creative talent of Stan Lee is SORELY missed.

To clarify, I paid the ticket price to see How To Drain Your Dragon 2, also in 3D, because I refuse to fund feminist cancer. Which Captain Marvel IS. I had a few triumphant heartbeats when Brie began 'kicking-ass' to No Doubt's “I'm Just A Girl,” but it was so forced & pretentious it felt like the cheap propaganda it was.

RottenTomatoes is brazenly shilling for Disney & Social Justice, & is refusing to post critical reviews that give movie-goers the level-headed truth.

Tempting as it is, this can't be held against CM, & if Transformers 5 gets a 1 out of 10, she deserves at least a 2.… Expand

Both are MCU fans and they also hated it. Close to $40 in tix and another $60 in popcorn & drinks = $100 down the toilet! What I did see, it was on par with Thor: Dark World in quality (some CM's CGI/SFx makeup looks like it was done in the 1990s) and Ang Lee's Incredible Hulk in pacing/story/script and both of these movies were the least liked in MCU...until Captain Marvel showed up. So hold on to your money and maybe watch end credit scenes online for free...so you know how this new character will ruin the Avenger's End Game plot (I hope CM character does not trash that movie too!!!). As I said, most CGI special effects are just okay but the simpleton-unimaginative story, poorly-timed pacing, underwhelming acting and almost-no character development are the real villains of this movie...And worst use of No Doubt's Just A Girl song with cringe-worthy results...And Brie Larson character is just boring with no depth...does she really have an Oscar for acting???

The Best part of the movie (and got the most reaction from the whole audience was the Stan Lee tribute. Another redeeming part was the Nick Fury interaction and Samual Jackson's time on the screen. Also coming in I thought it was getting to be more political but it was not as bad. All the better Sci-Fi movies are way more subtle about those themes. And the 2 jokes (1 from Nick Fury and the other from the kid)...all the other jokes sucked. I also liked the Orange Cat. If you are forced by your wife or girlfriend and can not get out of it.

Larson apparently forgot that she is not starring in misery porn this time out. Was Katee Sackhoff too busy to take it on? Perhaps in Engame they can allude to Brie's portrayal as that of a Skrull shapeshifter and set things aright. The cat was overrated but still deserves a gold statue more than Larson.

Disappointed in Brie Larson's performance, lack of charisma throughout the movie. Very 1-dimensional, and where are the weaknesses? Boring.

There are also full of weird politic injection and crige-worthy feminist quotes.
Why are you doing this to us? This is extremely wrong and makes me sad to no end.

I didn't have high hopes going in, but I thought I'd give it a fair shake. Maybe it was more than a paean to pretty white girl power, right? Maybe they just made a fun popcorn movie, or perhaps it explores some original tropes. Conceivably it might even feature the high quality of acting of which Oscar winner Brie Larson (real name Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers) is apparently capable (although I'm informed that her previous movies are Not Made For Me, so I haven't seen any).

Nope. A big, flat-assed nope.

It's cringe from start to finish. Larson (real name Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers) has a blank expression on her face which is intended to convey... what? I have no idea. That she's bored with the whole thing? Well, me too. The few brief scenes where she changes that expression just highlight that she's got her Resting Bored Face on for the entirity of the rest of the movie.

She's not interesting, she's not appealling, she's brings no depth or complexity or even personality to the character.

And as the movie is entirely about her, what does that leave us?

The score and cinematography, which is pedestrian. The CGI which is frankly shoddy, although even CGI-Jackson acts Larson (real name Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers) off the screen. Mind you, so does the cat.

The pacing is all over the place, both plodding and rushed. It feels like a much longer movie than it actually is. The last twentyu minutes is the most tolerable, but in terms of character development, it's simply super-powered pretty white girl becomes SUPER super-powered pretty white girl. But we're given no reason to care.

There are a few clumsy stabs at The Patriarchy, but not enough to condemn it purely on that basis. No, I condemn it because it's a dull, poorly written, badly made and disastrously cast movie.

You know what I was thinking of all the way through this disaster? Howard the Duck. How I'd rather be watching Howard the Duck. Weird, but true.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They contradict things already in existence in the MCU & the main character has no story arc what-so-ever.
The plot has horrible pacing & is also very inconsistent.
The music feels like a very brief after thought to confirms the 90s era time line & is occasionally too loud to hear everything else happening in the movie.
The digital affects used later in the movie are obvious & well under what Marvel has grown their fans to expect.
The de-aging software was either inconsistent w/ agent Coulson & Nick Fury or they used it sometimes & did makeup other times. Either way, it was distracting & again, below the standard Marvel established with Tony stark in earlier films (as well as other characters like Hank Pym).
This really was the worst Marvel movie I've ever seen & I include Electra & the old 90s fantastic 4 movies. The SJW parts of the script were incredibly transparent as well as lazy writing & how they portrayed men throughout is pretty disgusting & insulting (Fury checking the alien's body to see if his penis size is larger than his is unbelievably absurd & ridiculous).
I actually see the beginning of the end for Marvel movies after phase 4 & believe me I hope I'm wrong. I've loved the movies (for the most part) leading up to now but after endgame I'm done w/ whatever this MCU turn into.… Expand

Our feelings have the capacity to spark decisions that when strongly justified, leave a legacy. Notice Captain Hook: after losing a hand to some flying brat and a crocodile. His pain and fear fueled an ambition dedicated to ridding Peter PanOur feelings have the capacity to spark decisions that when strongly justified, leave a legacy. Notice Captain Hook: after losing a hand to some flying brat and a crocodile. His pain and fear fueled an ambition dedicated to ridding Peter Pan in order to rest peacefully. As a result, James Matthew Barrie’s creation remains to this day one of the most iconic villains across literature, theater, and cinema. There’s no similar emotional drive from anyone in Captain Marvel, a movie that shows how badly Earth needs someone out of our own world to fight off the great evil Marvel Studios created.

The problems start with the aliens. Remember how Star Trek famously used its aliens as cultural symbolism for more abstract concepts based on the time each episode and movie were made? I remember during my college years twice watching the old Star Trek episode, Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, where the crew meets two beings white on one side of the face and black on the other, to represent the Civil Rights Movement. Marvel’s cheap way of utilizing that is through its alien race of the Skrulls, shape-shifters who could be anyone at any moment: Nick Fury, Stan Lee, Thanos, etcetera. You know, exactly what Invasion of the Body Snatchers did. Yet boys watching this movie will five minutes later forget the overbeaten communism/terrorism allegory as it’s used improperly.

The other world outside our planet, Carol’s home of Hala, feels less like something that will captivate viewers of all ages, and more a like bland inspiration off anyplace that isn’t the United States, leading into unintentional offensive territory much like how Doctor Strange insults the culture of Buddhist monks. Talk about lost opportunities! At least the actual human characters are represented better than the fictional ethnicities of blue-face and green-face; still doesn’t make them good role models, however.

Brie Larson fails to empower women into being perfect leaders as she expresses no prodigy in her performance of distracting plasma-fists—at least Scarlet Johansson puts SOME effort into Black Widow. Captain Marvel marks a massive step-down from Captain America, a man who, unlike his female version, still manages to convey a smidgen of believability through clear strengths and weaknesses. While Marvel Studios' Black Panther coincided (perhaps intentionally) with the Black Lives Matter movement, this movie seems to be well-timed (also could be intentional) with the rising feminist movement. The problem with that is they don’t know how to make a good movie out of a suggested political agenda.

Heck, Brie is just doing the opposite of what she intends, degrading both men and women with her pathetic moments. The origin of her costume colors tries for inspiration, and a scene of claustrophobic corridors midway through has the thrills, and the explanation to how Nick Fury got his eyepatch is appropriately funny, but all the highest points coupled alongside Annette Bening’s painful exchanges with Brie (seriously, they barely let the other finish their sentences) render the cool moments worthless.

The heavy reliance on flashbacks establishes another reason why Captain Marvel goes against what it wants to achieve. While events depict the genesis of S.H.I.E.L.D., it turns annoyingly obtrusive to see Carol’s memories of getting back up after falling down when a conversation would have sufficed. Not to mention the cameraman makes everything too dark and foggy in space and didn’t even bother thinking through how to shoot the scenes in California. The intense lack of care from everyone behind this project tempts one of the Skrulls to shout, “I’m the captain now!” Or better, “There’s no crying in baseball!” Yeah, there are plenty of nineties references in this movie set in that very decade, but not for plot purposes, just aimless nostalgia. These include the kind-of-funny: taking a long time to play a CD, but mostly the cheap: “I’m Just a Girl” playing over the final fight, and a Terminator 2: Judgment Day rip-off of, “I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.”

It’s straight-up insulting how much this story copies familiarity, including all the lazy plot conveniences that subject this entire screenplay as a massive step down for Marvel Studios. For instance, Carol flies an escape pod perfectly without ever having seen it before, then crash lands by coincidence in her home of six years earlier (of all places)! Marvel’s ship must have let its anchor down way back in 2014 yet somehow keep rowing. Thus, they sunk.… Expand
