Boring. So boring.
Went to see it because it somehow ties in with Endgame, but I don't believe Marvel would truly want such a boring movie to be associated with it.
Sam Jackson is the only good thing in this terrible film. Poor guy.

I don't want to get into the whole strong female character mud slinging but will say that Brie Larson is extremely unlikeable in this role, smirking her way through the film. I feel like I only saw this to get my head round why the character will be integrated into the story for Endgame, I'll never watch it again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brie Larson is very wooden. The adversaries she faces has more charisma. The final battle is anti-climatic because there is no credible threat. The CGI around the cat is terrible. the middle drags and the third act has no stakes. The retcons around fury losing his eye and captain marvel inspiring the avengers name are pathetic.

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.

- Weak Writing - Questionable Casting
- Choppy editing and jumps
- 3/10 is a fair analysis of this film… Expand

I really wanted to enjoy this movie, but it is mediocre at best. I really wish Marvel had done something truly groundbreaking and introduced someone like Ms Marvel, Kamala Khan. But instead we got another generic, white actress who showed no emotional range during her performance. I mean Goose the cat showed more emotional range than Larson in her role. 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 movie was slightly entertaining due to the other cast members but was just a bore when it came to the main character. I can't tell if that's how she was supposed to be in the movie or if that is what the actor wanted to portray in the movie. The fact that Capt. Marvel hardly has any alone screen time by herself shows that she needed assistance from all the other characters to make the story somewhat plausible and believable. This movie is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the worst MCU movies to date along with being right up there with The Last Jedi; and we all seen how that movie turned out!....… Expand

Shouldn't the audience be engrossed in what's happening? Just who cares moments for the most part. Good CGI I guess but did not care if she won the fight. It seemed like no one even tested her and she was too unexcited to care. The only redeeming thing this film has is Colson or the Cat. This whole movie reminded me of when the CW has a crossover series and they spend a little more on CGI. Plot? predictable do the right thing against the people that you thought were your friends. I would recommend waiting for the video. The two additional scenes can be googled and let me tell you. Nothing Special. Also, RIP Stan Lee.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, Brie Larson will be great as Pinocchio, what with her wooden acting at all. The cat was the best part of the movie, and apparently, Skrulls are good guys now? Also, the soundtrack was great, but I'm Just A Girl was laid over the climactic fight and the tempo and rhythm didn't match what was on screen. At all. And there was a horribly acted and put together flashback montage of "you can't do X, you're just a girl!" I'm super anemic, and I'll cry at the drop of an emotionally manipulative story beat, but not one single tear at this movie. Seriously, unless you want to see the most powerful cat in the MCU, don't just skip, this, avoid it like the plague!

I have to do my first review and say thisI purposely did not watch an previews or spoilers or youtube videos on this movie because I heard people had said both good and bad things prior to it even releasing. But after watching this movie.... I have to do my first review and say this was just terrible.. The humor was so cringe and frankly disgusting. The animation was amazing at times and horrible at times, making me wonder if it was because this film was so rushed to release at the perfect sales date before end game. I say this because the budget for these movies can almost have no limit considering how much they produce from the film and then the future films because of it, and how much they expected to make from this and the hype train behind it, it should have had no problem investing more into this film. Whomever the main actress was in it was just.... not fit for this role... both acting, and now that I mention it, not physically either. Having someone play your double for your "behind shots" is only humiliating when they played the female power thing. Not trying to beat a dead horse and give fire to the flame of "another sexist white man", but even when this actress throws a punch at the old lady... it was like watching my friends daughter throw a baseball.. How can a superhero fighter who fights with her hands and wants us to believe she is so strong, and beat up people with her small hands curled forward, wrist bent, and thrown with the elbow. they couldn't even pay a trainer to help her throw a punch that looked believable. The fight scenes were terrible made except part of one when she had the cuffs on. Her story was the same as anyones 100x over, and they didn't seem to care one bit about showing more interest in it or her as a character, which makes me feel the same. Why should I show any interest in this character? everything about this was boring and poorly done, was rooting for the girl power on this one, but afraid it was very disappointing. The movie as a whole, if you've never seen marvel movies or know the story, was probably more of a 4-5 or so, but I gave it a 1 for the fact that Samuel Jackson still had to put up with this and be in it. I had to show him support with a one star at least… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The positive: Some comedy moments, Goose, Fury, Jude Law, and the fight scenes.

The Negative:

Plot holes in continuity, Soundtrack selection on the end fight scene, the soundtrack selection in the end scene having come out 3 years after her abduction by the Kree (she was not on earth for 6 years) Flashback scenes showing bad memories being shoe-horned in as a slightly overt feminist messaging that the patriarchy is suppressing women.

The motorcyclist saying "you should smile more" "freak" is shown as the "men are pigs" trope of victimhood feminism. Sure there are bad people in the world, but come on. The scenes were jumpy and confusing, bordering on motion-sickness inducing

Brie Larson did have some good emotional expression, but it came as a point of defiance, and a cost of character relatability, further pushing the dehumanizing aspect of modern feminism. The "you're not good enough" lines by all the men in her life come off as another dose of the victimhood identitarianism that modern feminism is trying to push. Women nowadays have More opportunities than men, contrary to this position. A recent Google audit of average wages actually shows a small gap in women's favor.

This whole movie was shoehorned into the MCU, and if they continue this trope, Phase 4 will go down in flames.

The explanation that Fury's eye damage was caused by a Flurkin scratch felt like it cheapened Fury's reason for an eye patch.

The worst part about this movie is that Captain Marvel was an unpopular comic when it came out, and was Ret-Con Mary-Sued into existence. The Kree/Scrull flip was even contrary to the narrative in the actual comic. The Kree have ALWAYS been the enemy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe anyone who is an MCU fan would think CM fits into the finely crafted Marvel Universe. A cat monster can touch (internally) the Tesseract? Really?

Where was the Tesseract before Mar Vel had it? How did she (yes, that's right, Mar Vel is now a she too) get it from Howard Stark?

Now, the story...Marvel doesn't have writers on staff that could do any better than this? Come on! Why do all of our favorite Marvel heroes have a hard time to get to hero status, but CM has not one challenge? Not one? Where is her character building? Oh, that's right, she didn't need character for this film. If this had been a stand-alone movie, I would have rated it at maybe a 3, but trying to squeeze this into the MCU, no. No way.

Lazy writing, almost like they had no idea who Nick Fury was. Just make him act like some regular Joe off the street, not the bad ass we fans have come to love.

I am all for powerful women, but the childish attempt to make "man bad - woman good" comparison just turned out LAME (the writers must have forgotten about Wonder Woman and her success). Run Ronin, Run! Give me a break.

So much to say...I will leave it at: If you are a casual movie goer, and have no investment in the MCU, this is a great way to burn a few dollars and hours. If the MCU means anything to you, this will tear apart some core understandings you have had since 2008. Good luck with that.… Expand

The marketing for the film pushed the feminism propaganda so far down my throat that it was hard to enjoy the movie for what it was, or wasn't in this case.

The action set pieces were phenomenal to be fair, but that's to be expected by a AAA studio like Marvel. Plot wise there's some interesting scenes that provide some context for the upcoming endgame, but aside from these two points there's no other redeeming qualities.

If you want to see a strong female lead, do yourself a favour and watch Alita: Battle Angel. At least Alita doesn't deviate too far from it's source material as to alienate it's core demographic, which is something that Brie Larson managed to do prior to the movie even coming out.… Expand

Brie Larson'sUnfortunately I wasn't too happy with the pre-marking of this movie which may have impacted my expectations and overall feel for this movie... The theater was almost empty which was strange ill give it that. Anyway... Brie Larson's performance was terrible.. maybe that was the way Captain Marvel was meant to be portrayed? An expressionless individual devoid of any emotion... Glass half full? Nick Fury was and will always be a good character in my mind so obviously I did enjoy his time onscreen and the CGI? haha was actually alright with his face in my opinion. A strange character.. Goose... Ill be honest, I enjoyed watching Goose's antics which was another highlight.

The flow of the movie was disjointed and difficult to understand what was going on in the first half of the movie... I couldn't tell if it was the movie itself... I was tired or simply because I was getting a little bored. The 25% of the movie however made up for it I suppose but then again I just wasted 75% of time here.

The fight scenes... well... mediocre at best and not memorable. The bad guys? zzzzz again.. not memorable.

Upsides? Music.. 95% of it was awesome. I grew up with most of the music and it took a leaf out of Guardians Of The Galaxy which is not a bad thing in this regard (and Thor.. my FAV!)

Overall... boring story line... boring and lifeless main character... not exactly the worst movie in MCU but obviously not the greatest. I don't understand how this movie is getting high ratings for? It was pushed in right at the end and was a rush job. Endgame... I certain hope Captain Marvels role is very limited...… Expand

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

Story and character development was pretty much nonexistant and dull.

CGI was also cheaper looking than previous MCU movies I have seen so far.

And her being so overpowered, makes her uninteresting to get involved it as you know she will never be in peril and need other MCUs help.

If Carol Danvers is supposed to be the new shining character for youngsters to look up to, then we are heading into an even more entitled future.

If you want a badass strong character to respect, go watch Alita Battle Angel instead. This movie makes me scared for Endgame and future MCU movies coming. I hope it doesnt become another The Last Jedi :(… Expand

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

Now, let's get to this movie. Why does it deserve a low rating? Aside from bad acting, a bland story, a over propped up cat that upstaged Brie Larson, and the well known feminist SJW (Admitted by the director and star) with the illegal immigration politics forced down your throat. This movie craps on Nick Fury, the Avengers, and everything about the Marvel movies that it has been the last decade. It is the most entitled crap movie I have seen. "I am most almighty power because I JUST AM! I have ascended to Godhood."

Plus, this movie has annoying and unhealthy demonetization of white men clearly in the film as she is battling the patriarchy of the disillusioned feminist. Obviously, what Brie has said against white men is of no coincidence. Her racism against whites is apparent.

Stop making Mary Sues of these characters. Nobody wants to watch Mary Sues. They are the least interesting characters and worst story plots. This movie puts the political agenda upfront first above story telling.

Brie Larson's acting is like someone watching a Kristen Stewart movie with her and asks, "man, I wonder if there can a person with less emotions then this girl." Brie Larson responds, "Hold my beer!"

I forgot to check the only thing worth watching. What the hell did they title the butt double in the credits and who was she? Miranda Lawson, is that you? Oh, wait... It wasn't that impressive.

Goose was overly praised by the critics who made him the only good sounding thing about this movie. He was more meh than anything. He was not that amazing. I don't know how these people thought he was that great unless you just think "awe kitty!"

None of this ties into the movie Endgame. It just introduces Captain Plank Face to taint Marvel and the Avengers. The ending credit scene is dumb meow. Nothing of significance.

You torment yourself of boredom through the movie and never get a reward for it. You paid to be subjected to feminist propaganda for the next 2 hour of a boredom trip that you just want to end or get your money back, but you can't because you have one of those friends who have to watch it to the end... At some point, you wonder if it is possible to slip and break your neck to get out of this film. It is a bad movie.

I also don't understand how these people are max reviewing it with "It is not the best film, and it had a lot of problems. It could have been much better, but it was alright" *Max Positive Review* What the hell is that shilling crap? So much fake! Well, here is one more MAJOR dislike.… 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

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. I didn't hate it, didn't love it, just meh.… Expand

From the get go the main character lacksThis could have been a good movie, it had the Marvel production team behind it and we could have done with a strong and fresh female lead character. 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been a Marvel Fan since I bought the comics as a Kid. My wife enjoys most of the Marvel movies but only started watching them because of me. Also, we're not a fan of the DC movies but we loved Wonder Woman. That was a great movie. With all the backlash against the Marketing of Captain Marvel I took my wife to see the movie without giving her any background info.


Her reaction to the movie was, "it was ok. I liked the cat." and "They really laid the Girl Power message on thick." When the pet cat is the best part of a Superhero flick you know the movie is bad. Now with all that said, I thought the movie was **** It was not remotely true to the source material and Brie Larson was horrible. I have a skin tag in my left arm pit that has more personality and acting range than she does. After watching the movie, all the conspiracy theories about Captain Marvel beig a Mary Sue that is being shoe horned into the MCU are confirmed. One of the last scenes, which is meant to get us excited for Endgame, did the exact opposite for me. That scene was cringey and has me worried that Captain marvel is going to ruin Endgame. The thought of Brie Larson as Captain marvel in an Avengers movie has me seriously worried about Endgame and my desire to see Endgame has decreased. That is something I did not think was possible.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who's been reading Marvel comics for a number of years, and following the movies since the original Iron Man, I can safely say that Captain Marvel is a low point for the MCU. Brie Larson's performance was bland and uninteresting, yet cocky and obnoxious which in turn makes Carol Danvers a very unlikable character. I firmly believe she was the wrong actress for the role.

The fighting and action scenes were decent(as most Marvel movies usually are). But the story left much to be desired, the film strays too far from the source material and barely even mentions the original Captain Mar-vell. Perhaps one of the dumbest moments in the entire film was Nick Fury loosing his eye to a cat. On a positive note, it was nice to see Samuel L Jackson as a younger Nick fury as well as Clark Gregg's Phil Coulson again and the 90's setting and music did make me feel nostalgic, but when the setting and supporting characters are the highlights of an MCU movie you know something is terribly wrong.

For all the hype that Kevin Feige made around this character, Captain Marvel came up feeling very lack luster and even under powered, despite being touted as "the most powerful hero in the MCU". (She didn't appear any more impressive then Iron Man to me) Marvel studios should seriously consider recasting this character or removing her entirely, as her inclusion in the MCU at this point feels very forced and very very unnecessary.… Expand

Brie Larson is a skilled actress, regardless of her man-hating rants and her recent diving into the gender-wars. So when an Oscar winner gets out-staged by a cat and by CGI effects, you know you can blame the director and the script. If you watch Room and you watch Scott Pilgrim, you'll realize she has an unbelievable range. Actually, let me remind you that the song she plays in Scott Pilgrim she sang it herself, and did the musical arrangement with her band. So there's no reason for her to play an emotionless character (unless the director tells her to)

So, basically blame this train wreck on political pandering. I've liked Carol Danvers for a long time, and both her and the Legacy Avengers actors deserve better than this. Here's hoping this doesn't nuke Endgame.… Expand

The Movie has no Style, no Quality and very boring tone, as the color filter is dull and murky, every scene is so uninteresting to watch, i think i do get that the is the MCU's Green Lantern, as the both have the same problems, except Green Lantern is Horrendous, the movie's direction is somehow mishmashed with plots, like her identity crisis and the skrull hunting, which it doesn't know where it'll end up, i liked the fish out of water element and the body cop vibe in the movie, but not enough, the acting is fine except for Brie Larson, and the dramatic and emotional parts of the movie really didn't add up to the essence of the movie, as the cause of underdeveloped elements is very present and so those scenes is just meh' to watch and sometime it felt forced giving the character's relationship unnatural and not that interesting, there are some good action sequence but mostly are forgettable, the Action Choreography tho is not that Good, its like the same action sequence would have in the late 2000s movie, the Movie's Visual Effects and CGI is fine, not bad and not great, its just yet Bland.

The Title Character is wooden, bland and unrelatable, like Rey in the New Star Wars Movies, her being overpowered and the strong female character persona is the worst part of her character, because of that she's emotionless, wooden & boring to watch.

The Movie's Plot is predictable and nothing new, it maybe a good movie if it is done right.

The Supporting Characters is i'd say the only good thing in the movie, of course Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg, Jude Law is somehow entertaining to watch, and Ben Mendelsohn is fantastic, he is more interesting, entertaining to watch and gave one hell of a Performance, he's character is far more better than the title character, as this should have been a Skrull Movie instead, there are characters that should have been lefted out like her co-pilot which is the 2nd most uninteresting character in the movie, as her character is only shown through flashbacks and underdeveloped.

One problem is that this superhero depiction was very over-powered. As such I was not very invested in the story as nothing was at stake for the character. Also the character had no internal conflicts or realistic seeming obstacles to overcome and really any weaknesses whatsoever. The result was a meh overall experience watching this in the theater.

Overall just about 30% of the movie is really interesting. I never heard about Brie Larson before she opened her mouth during the marketing campaign. Well, she better keeped it closed. She is too flat as an actor. And whoever did the operator work in this movie must be fired because they showed her short and curved leggs in whole glory. Look what they did with iron man. He looks there a lot better than in real life. The story is flat, too. The story in this kind of movies should be simple, but not flat. Final battle is the worst battle in the marvel universe. I hated the last battle in the civil war, but because of completely different reasons. She is too powerfull. Avengers can easily go home and rest in peace. The last bits of awful script almost killed me. She said she had nothing to proove. looks like females just need to have a golden v and everything else is put before their knees. Why than men need always to proove that they are worthy? Or maybe nobody need to proove anything? Whats the message, bro? I don't think this movie empowering females. Really. I think this is a very bad movie for females as any Disney fairy tale. It looks like that females can do nothing and have everything just because they exist. This is a very bad message for a kid.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having never heard of Captain Marvel aside from the original Shazam TV show, I went into CM with an open mind. I’ve been a loyal Marvel comic collector since I can remember. Other film incarnations from the Marvel universe have had their idiosyncrasies yet were still enjoyable overall. The acting of the lead playing “Captain Marvel” was lifeless. I’m not sure why the director/writers weren’t able to reach her. Encourage somehow her to demonstrate some semblance of a personality? It’s not like she was playing a Terminator! I was happy to see Stan Lee’s last cameo appearance as it was worth at least half a point to see him. I don’t want to spoil it for those who have not seen it but the way Nick Fury loses his eye is not believable whatsoever. I could not wait to escape the theater. Even the people I was with that wanted to see it finally admitted that it sucked. (Mainly because of the Captain Marvel character’s WHACK-TING) I really hope that Disney leaves Captain Marvel out of any future storylines as it is a detour from Marvel Comic’s future potential greatness. If you must see this movie because somebody in your life is blackmailing you, or you lose a bet or something, make sure you procure a designated driver. Watch it with beer goggles it will soften the blow. The other half a point am generously donating to this review is for the drinks they served at the theater. Unrelated I know, but the alcohol made me do it. Every time you hear “I got this” you’ve got to take a “shot this”… Expand

I just felt that this movie was hastily put into the universe and poorly written. A hero devoid of any weakness. A hero impossible for any mere human to relate to.

A hero impossible for any mere human to relate to. Tony Stark, Thor, Dr. Strange had to struggle with ego or had to be humbled but battled through it. Scarlet Witch had to see the error of her ways that revenge was not the solution. These "heroes" became larger than life because they inspire us to better OURSELVES and not to overpower other people. This movie doesn't benefit the story that took 10 years to make and I certainly think that MCU didn't just took 10 years laying the groundwork and foundation just to put this new character above all the other characters that has earned our respect through all this time.… Expand

Meh! Don't like most of what occurs in the movie. Especially dislike the emotionless performance of Brie Larson. It speaks volumes when a cat becomes the most liked character in a superhero movie.

SLJ and the cat are the best parts of this movie. Brie Larson's acting is just... bland at best. A sophomore in a college drama class could have done better. Let me summarize her acting -_- Hope that doesn't count as a spoiler.

Uneven direction, Jude Law mails in a mediocre performance...and Brie Larson is playing herself while giving 3 different performances in the movie. Her character is bland, and uninspiring (unlike DC's WW)...she's basically a Mary Sue in the 3rd act of the film where the action is right down comical. Not so subtle digs at political and social commentaries sprinkled within the film makes it a first for the MCU and not something viewers should want to see. What gives her the full power...taking off the "chains of the patriarchy" you see...oh those evil men who kept telling Carol what she can or can't do. Ben Mendelson is good as always. Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury is emasculated to lift up Monica and Carol throughout the film. He's basically a side kick that's there to provide humor and is nothing like the Nick Fury the MCU has established before in many films.

Special Effects are subpar for an MCU film.

Overall this is no better than a 3 or 4 out of 10. A very unnecessary film, shoehorning Capt Marvel in the MCU and establishing her as the "most powerful" character b/c hey...Marvel doesn't have a WW and have to compete with DC.… Expand

Unfortunately, they gave us a boring movie with slow pacing, forced 90s music disconnected from the scenes, really poor casting choice in Brie Larson (her emotionless performance didn't help either) and the always cringe worthy and unnecessary SJW undertone that ends up ruining good franchises. One would think that Disney learnt it lesson with Star Wars…not the case.
There’s no hero’s journey, no development, nothing. Only 2 hours of irrelevance.

I really hope Marvel go back to focusing on making good movies, instead of trying to force their misguided feminist agenda down our throats.
I really hope they didn’t bet everything on Captain Marvel (bad comic book character, even worst on screen).
I really hope they have a contingency plan for End Game.

Until now, the MCU has produced success, film after film after film. Even the films that were poorly received, like Incredible Hulk, Thor Dark World, Iron 2, were actually pretty decent. But, to produce a movie that reads like a Gail Simone Marvel Comic spouting social justice, feminism and trying to lecture me that I'm what's wrong with the world? If I wanted a lecture, I wouldn't pay to go see a movie on it, I'd listen to a lecture from my family.

Captain Marvel shows that whoever wrote and directed this travesty knows nothing about Marvel Comics and the character of Captain Marvel. The character was originally a male superhero, then the character was reinvented as a person of color, now, she's a crusty white woman who wants to lecture the audience.

What pissed me off was that movie depicts Skrulls *NOT* as an alien race bent on dominating the human race but rather they are "illegal immigrants". WTF!!!! Depicting the Skrulls as this way proves that the movie is no more than a two hour propoganda movie for feminism, social justice and antifa.

Only thing that Marvel Studios did was waste two hours of my time and scammed me out of the $5 I paid to see this crap. The movie was simply yawn inducing, boring and unimaginative. Next time? Make an MCU movie that doesn't scream social justice. If this is the future of the MCU, then I'm getting off this ride right now.… Expand

Sadly all the focus on the meta-narrative and the political war surrounding the film (a war most of us neither want a side in nor are interested in ) left botha actors and directors little to no room to focus on actually crafting a good movie to back these up . Both female-led superhero movies and the Marvel Universe deserve much better.… Expand

Looking at this movie objectively, I can easily say it's not a terrible movie but also not a great movie either.

The effects where average and excelled at making Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury look amazing. Sadly, Brie Larson as CaptainLooking at this movie objectively, I can easily say it's not a terrible movie but also not a great movie either.

The effects where average and excelled at making Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury look amazing. Sadly, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel gave an average to underwhelming performance leaving a dull impression. It was clear she didn't have the ability to carry the movie on her own and needed supporting actors to even make it work.

Unfortunately the story didn't adhere to the pre-established lore in the comics and in fact dangerously deviates and changes one of the best villain races in the MCU. And ends up leaving Ronan the Accuser probably one the cool'est villains in Marvel Movies thus far, feels underused and improperly implemented story wise.

If you were hoping for a great answer to the anticipated question as to how Nick Fury lost his eye. Sadly it's probably the most disappointing aspect of the movie with little to no imagination in the execution.

All said and done, due to the points stated as well as poor writing and directing. Also considering the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe this movie is slightly below average and a generally forgettable but somewhat enjoyable film.… Expand
