If I were to sum up this movie in three words they would be: bland, unimaginative and unwanted. It says it all when the cat is the most attractive part of the movie.
There is some great supporting roles in this movie (the reason I've not given it zero) but unfortunately that isn't enough to save a movie that no one was asking for.
If they wanted to make a solo movie with a strong female lead they needed to have looked no further than Black Widow. Scarlett Johansson has been kicking ass as Natasha Romanoff for the better part of a decade.

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 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.

Well Marvel finally messed up. I have seen all MCU movies from one to three times each in the theater. I wanted this movie to be good. I though that maybe it's just the marketing. Well it's not. The movie attempts to establish Captain MarvelWell Marvel finally messed up. I have seen all MCU movies from one to three times each in the theater. I wanted this movie to be good. I though that maybe it's just the marketing. Well it's not. The movie attempts to establish Captain Marvel as the biggest and strongest hero in the MCU and falls flat on it's face. If she is to take over for Tony Stark and Steven Rogers I am genuinely concerned for the future of the MCU. Brie Larson lacks Robert Downey Jr.'s natural charisma and Chris Evans's charm.

The only good thing about this mess is the Stan Lee tribute and Samuel L. Jackson is as good as always. And Ironically for a "girl power" movie the men steal the show. Jude Law and Samuel L. Jackson put Larson to shame.

This movie is very unfaithful to the source material on the level of Green Lantern. Brie Larson is horribly miscast. She has zero range and at best a smug demeanor. Someone of the caliber of Emily Blunt would have been a much better fit. The great friendship the two ladies share is just not believable and the dialogue after Carol goes missing is cheesy at best. The Skrulls are wasted. The Skrull invasion is one of the most interesting stories in Marvel comics and now that door is shut forever. The way Nick Furry lost his eye is just ridiculous. And the way the Avengers got the name is just pure cringe. All white man in her past tell her to quit because she is a girl. Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, is gender swapped to be a woman. At first she is held back and by the end of the movie she is the equivalent of Superman. Carol Danvers has NEVER had this much power.

The claim that she is the first female super hero is absurd, as if Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Wlizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Evangeline Lilly's Wasp don't exist in the MCU. The marketing pushed this as a feminist movie and it is at the expense of story and character development.

TLTR: Skip it. If you are a normal movie fan you will be bored. If you are a comic book fan you will be foaming at the mouth

There are some good bits in it but they are few and far between, ultimately its neither completely terrible nor unwatchable, just really disappointing.

It is a typical Mary-Sue type superhero action movie, with a main character that is 1-dimensional, posses no clear motives, drives, ambitions, fear, allegiences, etc. In short, in point in the movie do you feel any connection with the main character. You expect in a hero moveie, for the hero to be battling an inner demon, to be fighting an inner struggle that is mirrored in a battle with some super villain. Think back to any great superhero movie. There is a climactic journey to fight some big baddie that goes hand in hand with an inner struggle of the hero coming to grips with their shortcomings, weakness, faults, past, etc.

Captain Marvel lack all of the above, just a character that hits stuff and people, sometimes in a visually exciting fashion. If i knew how bad it was, I would have given it a miss

It's a big step backward for the MCU to do this sort of superhero origin tale that we've seen so many times, most recently in Ant Man and Doctor Strange, although those were much better. But this time it's a woman!!! So it's unique.

And that's the real goal of the film and marketing. We'll just look past Wonder Woman who already did a female superhero much better in 2017. We'll also overlook Brie Larson as a spoiled blonde girl trying to play victim here based on her identity (are you serious?). If you buy into this nonsense and want to have your agenda validated and be pandered to, you might enjoy this film. If you have common sense, see through this farse, and just want to see a good addition to the MCU you will be very disappointed. I just hope Marvel figures out how much they failed with this character before she ruins EndGame and phase 4.

Why I'm giving this a 0 is to make a clear statement about how they handled the PR for this film. Even the film itself is hating on "white males" at every opportunity and it's frankly sad. Brie Larson in her attempt at "diversity" have actually accomplished the complete opposite. She has offended the majority of this movies target audience by her sexist antics and I hope the movie gets punished in review and sales from this. Disney needs to know their behavior with Rotten Tomatoes will not be forgotten. What a train wreck really.

Those issues might be overcome if the film was wildly entertaining, or it’s main character relatable and engaging, or if familiarity with the character and her story were necessary to an enjoyment of the much anticipated Endgame. Sadly, none of those things are true. Captain Marvel is a colossal bore. There is an abundance of action, but no meaning. The arc of growth and self discovery, the vulnerability, that so endeared us to Tony Stark, Steve Rodgers, Thor, Black Widow, and the Red Witch are apparently unnecessary for Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers spends the film confused about who she is, but at no point does she have to earn what she is. And that’s dull. Throw in tired “you go girl” and “don’t politely call me young lady or I’ll put my boot up your ass” feminist tropes and it becomes downright annoying. The only thing flatter than the character’s arc of self discovery is Brie Larson’s phlegmatic delivery-every bit as bad as the trailers led us to fear. And the only thing flatter than that, is her unattractive rear end. The audience is left with very little to like, and all of that provided by supporting charcters. Save yourself the cost of a ticket and two very tedious hours of your life-and pray Captain Marvel isn’t allowed to entirely ruin Endgame. Expand

I didn't really have any high hopes for this movie after all the misandry involved in the marketing but man was I let down!
The story is boring, the leading actress has is as good at displaying emotions as the one in twilight.

It's almost as if Marvel took everything that made 'Wonder Woman' such an amazing film and decided to go in the complete opposite direction.

If Captain Marvel is to be the new face of the MCU, then I fear for 'End Game' and the future of this franchise.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oof, I don't really know what to say. Very slow movie, pacing seemed very off. Brie gave a shell of a performance, she seemed very wooden. When Carol Danvers got her powers, it should have been a great moment, instead it was shallow, and boring.

If there was a saving grace, it would be Samuel Jackson. He was spot on as usual.

If you're a Marvel fan, you might like this movie, but even then, I'm not sure. It's not vital to the Marvel universe, so this is a safe skip.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're not a fan of the comics, you may end up getting lost in what is going on with this movie. The storyline does not do well in trying to explain the backstory. In fact, the plot is just...confusing anyway. If you are a comics fan, you may end up being put off by this portrayal of what the heroin should have been.
Poor plot line, bad scripting, poor portrayal, graphics that range from absolutely fantastic, to absolutely horrible. VERY weak ending. All said, the supporting cast is the ONLY thing that will carry this movie through. Their parts are well done, and literally will be all that is worth watching in this film. May go down in history as a first for Marvel. The first that didn't fly.
Overall, the movie has it's entertainment value. Will you want to see it again? I don't. Will it join your DVD collection? Not likely. Does it encourage me to go see Avengers Endgame? NOT if this Capt. Marvel is in it, I'll pass.

The existence of Captain Marvel makes the events of the prior movies seem less important. You have to wonder where this character was when the Guardians of the Galaxy or Avengers needed help. Why does Nick Fury not care enough about the earth to call in for help in all the other Marvel movies? This movie creates too many plot holes in the Marvel universe. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only reason for a 1 instead of a 0 is because of the cat. Other than that, the script was horrendous and the humour was laughably bad. At first, Brie Larson/Vers/Captain Marvel seemed to be a witty and genuinely funny character with her remarks. Where did that witticism go? She was edgy and moody throughout most of the movie, so why introduce her as that?

One of the few things that made me fuming was the introduction of Mar-Vell, who was changed from a Kree minority hero to a female Kree Scientist. Why in the world was it necessary to change her origin story?

For visuals and effects, I'm glad to say that it wasn't like the rest of the movie. It was impressive and even immersive at times when Brie Larson's acting isn't getting in the way. Onto her acting: she gave Carol Danvers an undeserving bland personality. I get it, she's trying to discover herself and find out who she really is. But that shouldn't excuse the seemingly unmotivated actress to go on set and LARP. Scratch that. I know LARPers who can give her acting a run for its money.

The fight scenes were few and far in between. Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to have more narrative in a movie. However, Captain Marvel is the "strongest superhero" in the MCU. They should do her character justice by showing off her strength more instead of at a few Skrulls and an AI.

Final point: Lack of a real villain. No, it's not the Skrulls (not until the Secret Invasion at least), not Ronan, not even the Kree in this movie. Herself? Maybe. But what was the point of her fighting all of these people/aliens? My conclusive opinion of this movie is a big, fat, 1. For a Marvel movie, I had high hopes they would do Captain Marvel's questionable comic book existence justice by having a lead that was at least motivated to play the part. Her acting was poor and her push for female empowerment on an international holiday such as today did not come through. Wonder Woman did it right. Why couldn't Marvel at least do the same?

Meh.

Didn't want to believe the negative press but, turns out it was 100% accurate. Nothing to do with Brie Larson or feminism though, it's just a boring movie. Over-powered characters rarely do well because they are REALLY hard to write for. "Punch, wham blast" stories just devolve into a tedious litany of increasingly daft action scenes which lift you out of the experience. Larson obviously made a conscious effort to express her character as someone on the autism spectrum which I don't think works here; needed a lighter touch. When a character is so powerful, it's important to project vulnerability (think Clark Kent in the context of the first Superman movie) and Larson's Marvel is just too "perfect". Hard to empathise with someone so one-dimensional and this comic character desperately needs empathy to stop her just being boring.

It's an okay "popcorn movie". I probably wouldn't change the channel if it was on TV but I won't buy the DVD/Google Play copy for this one.

Brie Larson was miscast as she brings nothing to the character and was very wooden and un-likeable. The character of Captain Marvel has no complexity or depth, she has no flaws, no weaknesses and is supposedly stronger than anyone else in the MCU, so doesn't have any character progression or anything to overcome, making her bland an nothing about her relate-able that you can get behind or route for, and frankly one dimensional and boring. Did Marvel suddenly forget all the things that makes a character great, and interesting? Overall a very boring and uninteresting film that seems rushed and shoe horned into the MCU, and the first uninteresting and pointless character added to the roster. Sam Jackson was great, but even he couldn't save this movie. Totally unnecessary film, I'd skip this one as its just not worth it. Expand

RemovingThe movie has bad pacing, bad acting (from the lead) if they removed Brie Larson from the film an maybe gotten Yvonne Strahovski who could show emotions an not be so stiff and ridged. Then maybe this movie would have been better. Removing everything from the press tour this movie fails to deliver what it was suppose to. A action packed hero. It doesn't help that Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) has no real origin story to set up a awesome hero. She just gets power without doing any real character development at all. She is the same person before powers as she is with them. It doesn't show she is really willing to do anything for anyone. She is a clear definition of a Mary Sue. If she is going to lead the MCU in the future they might as well just stop making movies an take a few years off to work on some animated movies or work on the comics that are failing to show a profit, like Captain Marvels failed launches.

Over all the few things this movie does right is overshadowed by everything it tried an failed to show in the movie and also what led up to it. I would like to rate it higher as I might deserve a higher score for trying I think it needs to be said that this is not a movie that should have been made before End Game. It would have been better to give Captain Marvel a better start in the MCU than as this all powerful brat.

Tragically overshadowed by a CGI cat, out shined by Jackson and Mendelsohn and woefully out classed by other cast mates in the end credit scene Larson fails to impress.

Worse yet were the special effects, far below the usual MCU standards they would have been better suited to a TV series instead of the Silver Screen.

Still worse were the highly predictable plot points and dialogue... though I was surprised (and disappointed) of their torpedoing of future Skrull story lines... all in all a disappointment despite a few smirk inducing jokes that were probably improvised by Jackson. And Nick Fury's eye... are you kidding me!!?!

A boring, bland movie with just a few high points. Brie Larson was horribly miscast.

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.

TAKE MY ADVICE, GIVE THIS ONE A MISS AND SAVE YOUR MONEY – I WISH I HAD!

Captain Marvel starts off ok, but essentially devolves to insult MCU fans.

The good: - opening origin act - CM smiling at a de-aged Stan Lee The bad (a sampling): - retcon/emasculation of Lee Pace, ruining Guardians of the Galaxy - retcon
Captain Marvel starts off ok, but essentially devolves to insult MCU fans.


The good:
- opening origin act
- CM smiling at a de-aged Stan Lee
The bad (a sampling):
- retcon/emasculation of Lee Pace, ruining Guardians of the Galaxy
- retcon of the tesseract into a coughed up hairball (sorry Cap/Howard Stark)
- the true origin of "Avenger"
- international badass Nick Fury loses his eye to...a $@%& cat scratch
- glactic illegal aliens (sigh)
- Brie Larson...Oscars are apparently handed out to anyone with an active SAG membership


If your new/don't care about the past decade of MCU lore and like some not so subtle political messaging in your popcorn flicks, you might enjoy CM. If you would rather see a string character that happens to ne a woman, stream Wonder Woman or go see Alita instead.

Terrible script filled with continuity mistakes and poorly developed character arcs.

Larson's delivery was wooden and uninspired. Lackluster CGI. Forgettable music. Fight scenes were flat; cuts were often random and incoherent. Sam
Terrible script filled with continuity mistakes and poorly developed character arcs.

Larson's delivery was wooden and uninspired. Lackluster CGI. Forgettable music. Fight scenes were flat; cuts were often random and incoherent. Sam Jackson was strong as usual, but overall, this was the worst MCU film to date. I had heard that all the bits with the cat were hilarious, but I didn't end up laughing once.

Carol Danvers started off as a strong soldier and simply became incrementally stronger as the film continued without any perceivable obstacles. Given Captain Marvel's effortless journey, it was essential that her character be well developed.Carol Danvers started off as a strong soldier and simply became incrementally stronger as the film continued without any perceivable obstacles. Given Captain Marvel's effortless journey, it was essential that her character be well developed. On that front, Brie Larson failed. She was an expressionless husk of a character who was unlikable throughout the film. She wasn't funny, interesting, or flawed. Total miscast. Expand

This movie wasn't terrible but was far from good.

Sam Jackson nails it as always but feels more of a sidekick in this movie when compared to the badass in Avengers. the plotline was overall very predictable and nothing really impressed or surprised me. Mar-Vell was a joke, Goose was awesome and the de-aging CGI was honestly phenomenal. in all honesty this felt like a needless movie lazily written just to capitalise on Infinity wars popularity Hopefully the Ruso brothers can fix the character in endgame.
