Acting was as bad as the second Thor. I'm not sure if Endgame is in my future, as the purpose of this intro made me not want to invest in to this. Honestly at times I felt confused as to the lack of acting from brie. Was it intentional, non-intentional, sometimes movies people pick the wrong person for certain movies. While I wasn't expecting much, the film actually fell flatter than I thought. Oh and the SJW political stuff was thick, goodness! It's sad Disney has RUINED another franchise for a political ideology. Seriously, if Disney makes something these days, you almost know exactly what it'll have and it's really turning me off.… Expand

Maybe the fact that Clak Gregg and Ben Mendelsohn are here too, and Mendelsohn I really funny. There are moments where Carol has a personality in the beginning, but the good moments are few and far between, mostly she is either wooden or sulking or trying to prove how much better she is than anybody else. To sum it up. If everything and everyone is more interesting than your main character in a superhero movie, han you did something wrong. Also I couldn't follow the fight scene on the ship, it was dark and cut weirdly, and the laser show afterwards just proved that Captain Marvel is too OP for the MCU. This is the Superman problem all over again. Why have anyone else in the future films, if Captain Marvel can swoop in and save the day without breaking a sweat. I can only say what one of my favorite critic has said. This is like a bland phase 1 movie. If you wanted to be better or even on the same level as for example Wonder Woman, than your movie shouldn't just be ok. This is not great, not marvelous in is meh! This is like Solo for me.

PS: Skrulls don't work like that. Now how will we get Secret Invasion? And the “avenger” thing at the end just made me cringe.… Expand

This film has all the charisma that one would expect from a vegan. Captain Marvegan - man meat is murder. The writers and Brie Larson in particular appear to have had a vitamin B12 deficiency. 3.9 - 5.7 depending on how much you have had to drink.

Well, it shoulda had a better script & direction. Esp when we've been treated with the awesomeness of Infinity Wars, W Woman, and yes, Alita. As a result, I think much of Capt Marv felt like a paint-by-the-numbers exercise. Brie was perhaps trying too hard (or forced by the script) to act tough. There was hardly any sign of vulnerability in her, thus appeal to her character was sorely lacking. Compare that wt W Woman or Alita, where both movies' story telling got you attached to their journey. Next, the editing was patchy - eg bar room scene wt Fury. And the action? A low on the oomph meter. Esp when compared to the fight on Titan wt Thanos, or the rush of Motor-Ball. The directors + SFX team should have created a larger than life character; sadly, that didn't happen. Perhaps they need to understand that a character's cockiness doesn't translate into greatness. This movie will still go on to make bucket-loads of money, for sure. But only on the strength of its association with the MCU, and not b'cos of the character. Sad. I sure hope she does better in the hands of the Russo brothers.… Expand

And then he's devalued, an epic character built-up over a decade into a scratch joke. With all the drama around this movie, hard not to notice that literally, 2 men in the movie are good guys.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wanted to be entertained not preached to. Ms. Larson lacked fire in her performance. She never BECAME her character just played her ... underwhelmingly as if the role was beneath her. The de-aging process was amazing. Mr. Jackson was excellent as always as was Ben Mendelsohn. Having Fury say in The Winter Soldier that the last time he trusted someone, he lost an eye was neutered by the way he lost his eye in this film. The "cockpit" put-down was cringe-worthy the first time, much less subjecting the audience a second time.

The makeup for the Skrulls was problematic most of the time, only good for Ben Mendelsohn. Making the Skrulls symbolic of our refugee problem might have seem an excellent idea by the screen writers, but it destroyed using the Skrulls as daunting adversaries as they were in the comics.

Pedantic, boring, paced poorly ... I expected better of a Marvel movie.

The MCU has given us 20 great films, only faltering with this one. Twenty films in ten years ... we were lucky the streak lasted this long. Thank you, Marvel… Expand

Why was Brie Larson the right fit?

With Captain Marvel, who has powers that approach a level that we haven't seen before in our films, you need to counter-balance that by finding somebody who is also very human and very relatable and can get into a groove with the audience, where they're willing to see her fly through the sun and punch a moon away from a spacecraft. At the same time, we need her to land and have relatable flaws.

Brie is a person you're going to want to go on this journey with, just like Benedict or Robert or Chris Pratt.

########

In short, Brie Larson failed miserably at what Kevin Feige hoped she could accomplish in Captain Marvel. Whether it was the direction or a failure of range, she looked as though she was wearing an "Edgar-suit". For me, this worked in the first act when we/she didn't know she was human but really fell flat in acts two and three. She was as miscast as Hayden Christensen playing Anakin Skywalker.

I hope Marvel reconsiders her role in Endgame and MCU +10 because any character who can "fly through the sun and punch a moon away from a spacecraft" leaves no suspense as failure is impossible for the character, let alone portrayed in a way that is so unrelatable and, frankly, unlikable.

This is easily the worst of the MCU. Without Nick Fury this movie would have been completely miss-able (and probably should be missed by hardcore comic book fans).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets get a few things upfront. I generally love Marvel Movies. I generally love movies with strong female leads. Despite this, I found myself loathing this movie, possibly because I saw it with such high expectations and with such high stakes being the movie that will be crucial to End Game, a movie I have been looking forward to for years. Brie Larson is generally un-charismatic and un-likeable. At no point does her character establish any empathy with the audience. The plot itself likely doesnt help. The amnesia angle is played poorly and we never really feel like we know or understand the character. Her singular motivation point, the equality angle, is so poorly force fed to audiences we cant possibly be sympathetic or understanding of the character. The main character undergoes little in terms of character development short of removing an inhibiting chip from her neck. The end battle has no tension. Her powers are completely over the top and seem unearned and without challenge. Even her friend is not very likeable as she chooses to engage in a few outer space thrills than protect her 6 year old daughter from rampaging aliens. Direction and editing is very poor. The jokes are lame and depending on your perspective a main and beloved character, Fury, is reduced somewhat by the knowledge that his damaged eye was in fact damaged by a cat (albeit an alien). Barely amusing - unless you go back the past movies, whereby the character becomes ridiculous every time he takes about his eye. All in all the pacing, script and narrative is a mess. Direction is variable, editing is a mess particularly in the last few battles. There is little to like this movie for. Finally and most depressingly. Captain Marvel seems to have little love for earth and barely any backstory with Thanos. Now this character is supposed to sway the balance in End Game. How will this reflect on our beloved characters who have fought for years and lost much against Thanos. Its hard to care and easy to be worried for the future of MCU given the emphasis they seem to want to place on this ill conceived character.… Expand

Brie Larson gives a terrible performance as CM and the movie is bland and boring. Larson as well as the movie propagates this anti-white-male feminist SJW garbage claiming it's groundbreaking which is absurd. Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, and more recently Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman made much bigger impacts with their charismatic charm and personality as well as being badass as heroines. This character and this actress don't deserve to be put to the forefront to be the new face of the MCU when all CM is, is a Mary-Sue character who essentially has no flaws. The MCU has made her over-powered, stronger than any of the other heroes we grew up with, and yes even Thanos. If she ends up defeating Thanos on her own in Endgame, it would be the least satisfying and most disappointing climax to what the MCU has built up to for the over a decade.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I tried to go into this movie with an open mind and ignored all of the controversy around it, since I'm a huge MCU fan, but it turned out to be the dumpster fire of political SJW propaganda that actual real critics (not paid shill media, like syfy wire openly admitted) and general viewers claimed.

The beginning started off kind of engaging, but then it just fell flat after. Brie has zero charisma and has one of 3 expressions during the entire movie (bored, angry & a smirk in scenes that others tell her how great she is), there is no hero arc or character development at all (she's the best ever and needs no one) and there is literally no threat or tension at all. Absolute tons of exhibition about things characters should already know (all tell, no show). The pacing is terrible, with long boring sequences especially during the middle. The "final battle" just had CM flying around destroying everything yet never in any danger from anything. Then there's the numerous breaks in Canon (ie the "Avengers" are named after her... Yet Steve Roger's debut movie is literally "Captain America: The First Avenger"... Then the Mar-vel gender swap, cause she don't need no man... The list goes on).

This movie is so surrounded by controversy it has to be mentioned. Never in my life have I ever seen so much shilling and political protection thrown up to try and save an awful. From rotten tomatoes removing 54k reviews to allowing (or using) bot accounts to spam positive reviews (hundreds of accounts with identical positive reviews) to actually removing features and altering the whole site, then YouTube changing algorithms reclassifing brie larson as "news" to push accounts like ABC (owned by Disney) to the top of search results, and not to mention the fan shaming with the usual SJW crap of calling everyone who hated it a racist/sexist/whatever - ist/phobe and more, because when your movie is awful, blame the fans... Apparently Disney didn't learn from their star wars disaster.

This movie is bad.. Real bad.. And I didn't want it to be. Female superhero leads have been done before (no, CM was not the first, as much as they want us to think so) and done much, much better. Wonder Woman is a perfect example of a female superhero lead movie done right. I have fear of the direction the MCU is taking, especially if they shoehorn CM into Endgame as the Deus Ex savior they've set her up to be.… Expand

I know Brie Larson can act, and I can't imagine that Marvel didn't have the money to giver her a nice big check, so I can't understandHoo boy is this movie a trying on one's patience. I almost fell asleep during this movie a couple times. I know Brie Larson can act, and I can't imagine that Marvel didn't have the money to giver her a nice big check, so I can't understand why the bad guy skrulls with 10 lbs of makeup on their face can act better than she can in this movie.

This movie is better than I expected, but I wasn't expecting much, and this movie still fails to be that entertaining of a romp. I'm admittedly rather picky when it comes to my movies, especially if I'm to be paying 8-10 dollars for a movie ticket, and I'm sorry that this movie came out at such prices. Honestly refunds should be in order.

The movie is decent in every way that you'd expect a big budget movie from the MCU to have; the cinematography and colours and other such technical things are on point enough, but the cgi honestly looks very rushed (considering that this movie was likely rushed to come out before the finale, Endgame, releases this isn't a surprise) The skrulls look kinda like the orcs from that one Will Smith movie "Bright" although not so stout and slightly different colouration. The movie manages to not look terrible for the most part, but the finale battle looks like a trailer from an early Xbox 360 game from E3 2005. Other than that the movie looks decent enough, and other aspects like Sammy J's Rejuvenation looks completely the opposite. If I hadn't known any better, I would've just said "Man, Sammy is aging like a friggin' Dorian Gray" Disney can de-age people like a wizard. Unfortunately where most of the positives stop. The plot fails to have any amount of originality to it, it has nothing to distinguish it in a good way from any other hero story out there. It has a bit of wolverine origins, a serving of captain america, a splash of Wonder Woman, a bit of Green Lantern, a smidgen of spiderman and a pinch of super girl. She's basically all the usual super hero tropes rolled into one bland character. The only times her character has more depth than a trading card is when she's interacting with Sammy's Nick Fury, the only highlights of the movie as they felt very nice and lively (one of the interactions actually made me smirk) It's hard for anyone to be a flat character around a personality like Mr. Jackson, he apparently made Brie forget why she's so upset to be in this movie at least.

The plot is also a bit of a mess, it has plot holes and problems that were overcame or explained in such a poorly done manner that they bring up more questions that answers (SPOILER-ish How in the frick does being next to explosion of an engine using the power of the tesseract make the strongest hero in the MCU but Loki using it's power in the first Avengers didn't decimate the team?! SPOILER-ish over)

There are secondary characters that also feel very bland, not only because their acting is bad either. No characters are anything other than a plot device save for the Sammy J, and the cat (Both of which characters are made lesser by the twist on how Fury got his scar)

The character, Vree is supposed to be the strongest character in the MCU, but she doesn't feel like she's earned it, she doesn't feel like she has any real power, just that her enemies are incompetent as she shows no real struggle and her "second wind" is explained by a throw away line that's just horrid writing. This is not the worst movie that the MCU has made, that dis-honor still belongs to Captain America, but it's in the same boat, it's a bad movie that they rushed out just before the big cross-over film was made.

It's worth a watch if you really like Marvel films, but it's not going to be anything that you haven't seen before and in fact couldn't have written yourself.… Expand

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

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

The movie was just a mess. Did the directors ever watch a Marvel movie in the MCU? They created many new plot holes, Nick fury's eye scratch , the tesseract fiasco, The fact Nick Fury had that stupid pager since 1995 and didn't call Captain Marvel when the sky opened up and ALIIENS with LOKI mind you, were attacking NEWYORK in Avengers ....yeah if that wasn't an emergency i don't know what is..ALIENS DUDE!! Something Captain Marvel is familiar with. He didn't call her when ULTRON, or the destroyer was on earth either. Listen, Wonder Woman, was a way better movie than this mess.… Expand

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

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

Good Job Disney! Very Family friendly!

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

One can only hope that Disney comes to his senses as soon as possible and re-staffs the character of Cpt.Marvel, with an actress who is not politically indoctrinated.… Expand

That being said, theLet me start by saying that the homage to Stan Lee was beautifully done and almost brought a tear to my eyes as I've been a fan of Marvel Comics all of my life and this man's creations brought so much happiness to me. That being said, the movie: it's a forgettable debut for Captain Marvel in the MCU. It started bright enough with Brie Larson even showing some signs of charisma, something which was not portrayed in the trailers. Unfortunately, it went downhill as the movie progressed, Brie Larson under-acted throughout the rest of the film, I don't know if she was directed to act that way or if she simply missed the mark with her personal performance but either way, her performance was bland just as previewed in the trailers. Another aspect that did not help Brie Larson is that the Captain Marvel character itself lacked any originality: it seems that the only distinct personality trait is that she's fighting a feminist battle to overcome gender cliches. The character is a caricature of the feminist stereotype and so is the portrayal of most men in the movie, they're also a caricature of what modern feminists imagine that men are like.

Even Samuel L. Jackson's performance was weak when compared to his other works. I do have to credit Ben Mendelsohn though, his portrayal of Talos was by far the best aspect of the movie; that and the child actress that portrayed Carol Danvers when she was 6 years old.

All in all, I do not recommend wasting your time seeing this movie, it's uninspired all around and it is not even required viewing for Endgame. 3/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The good: Sam Jackson playing a young Nick Fury,
he and Brie had a good chemistry, in those times
Brie did a good job IMO. Liked seeing Agent Colson.
The cat was cool and I did like the soundtrack.

The Bad:
The story was not good and the tesaract story
is a little convoluted. The fight scenes were not very good, Danvers character seemed like they did not know her personality. Snarky?
Funny? Mad? Brooding? I did like her when
she interacted with Jackson but most of the
time she just had a cold stare. The whole skrull angle was serious cringe, oh I thought you were terrorists but turns out you are just refuges and you have been separated from your family, lets push a little harder on that agenda wow.

More agent Colson please.

Her getting her full power was very predictable and she is just a tad over powered. Once she has that power the movie should be over, there is nothing that can stop her and the final confrontation with the dude is a joke.

Even with all of that I will give it a 3 because I am marvel fan, I liked some parts, and the Stan Lee Cameo along with the Stan Lee page flips at the beginning were very cool.… Expand

No doubt that she has a lot of talent, but she didnt fit the shoes of the character she was playing and left me confused as to who she was meant to be. There was no vulnerability to her, not relatable at all. The graphics was good, Fury was good, except for the way in which he lost his eye.. disgusting and disrespectful I would think. I will admit though, the movie was highly predictable and it incorporated a lot of extreme feminist angles and views which would drive a lot of people off it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story was dragging. It never felt like I was watching an MCU movie. It was like a different thing. I was expecting to get my usual super hero experience but 1 and a half hour was all irrelevant conversations. It just didn't work for me.

There is a plot twist and they could have done this better but no, it was just like... meh... A plot twist should be built up from the start and when it is revealed, it should be shocking, with it being foreshadowed the entire film. That way you can attract multiple viewings. But no... it is just meh...

No super hero landing too... And for an origin story, we are expecting to learn together with the hero what he/she can do. But apparently she knows everything she is able to do right from the start.

IMHO, Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 was better. At least thor 2 explored a new stuff by the converging of the 7 realms and it was action packed. And in Iron Man 2, that was the first time we saw a suit that is portable which is really cool. This one though has little to no action (Just 2 forgettable action scenes), no cool suit or display of power as she had everything right from the start except flight and binary form which was not showcased really well. It just came about without any build up.

There is also no villian in the movie. In the first half it was Ben, and on the second half it was Jude whom did not really pose any threat; I mean he was down in just one shot. And then they teased Ronin which is really for nothing as we know what his future will be.

This movie had so much potential but it felt really flat. I wanted to like it but I almost fell asleep between the 30 min mark til 1 hr and 30 min mark.

Brie Larson's acting was fine at most parts even though some felt fake and she's always **** But my problem with her is that she is very replaceable; Brie is very replaceable as Captain Marvel unlike Hugh as Wolverine, Chris Evans as Capt America, Robert Downey as Tony, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and basically all of the MCU heroes.

Overall I think this movie is bad. There were good things in it don't get me wrong, but it is very forgettable. I admit I liked some scenes and enjoyed that moment, but even now, I do not remember what those scenes are.… Expand

I'm not going to say she was a bad actor because I've seen her play other roles better, I just don't think this is the right role for her. During the first portions of the movie, I was actually entertained and then throughout the rest of the movie, it's like she did not understand her character or who she was supposed to be playing. The music was very good I loved it. Of course Marvel soundtracks never get old but I don't agree with some of the songs they chose. I love Gwen Stefani but I would have totally chosen ‘hollaback girl’ as opposed to ‘I'm just a girl’. With the exception of the very beginning of the movie and the very end, I was very bored. The pacing seemed off. There was a lot of dead space in-between people talking and the chemistry between some of the characters was just off. Some of the writing just made no sense and I think that this movie could have done better with a different writer and director.

The driving force behind why Captain Marvel is the way she is seems very shallow. The whole narrative is that boys were mean to her and that was it. There was really nothing else that she had to overcome like other superheroes who had their families killed, or who had something traumatic happened to them. There was really no depth to her character and that was disappointing.
It almost seems like one big commercial for female empowerment/oppression, and even as a female, I don't really appreciate that in a movie. Captain Marvel deserved to have more depth to her character than just a girl who was a victim. That's not cool For as much as they were hyping up this movie and marketing it to be something amazing, it fell below short.… Expand

If you recall in Winter Solider, he said the last time he trusted someone, he lost an eye. Maybe it was the trust in whoever made this sad excuse of a film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvels newest insulation to the MCU and leadup to the much-anticipated End Game was a total disappointment in my eyes. POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING! With that being said I'll try not to go too into detail with anything. So for starters, I think Brie Larson is an incredible actress however when it came to Captain Marvel it was a 2/10. I feel that when you get a big role as a superhero that you can't hold back for one second. All I felt from her was that she was just reading lines off a script. And when it came to acting as a superhero that she didn't embrace the role. When you think of a superhero (no matter woman or man) there has to be a level of gusto, which I felt there was an extreme lack of. In the movie no matter how they met her, they seemed to like her off the bat without her acting giving me any inclination that they would, based on her performance. The dialog in the film seemed like it was playing catch up and trying to inform the audience as fast as they could by having the characters constantly asking questions that seemed inorganic in my eyes. Now let's get to the inconsistencies in this movie which there is a bundle to pick from. If you are a fan of the MCU then you know who Nick Fury is. He is the stoic "leader" of the Avengers initiative that basically brings everyone together. Right from the get-go Fury is a likable and almost happy figure in this movie which doesn't match his character that all the other movies have portrayed him as. This is almost as much of a Fury origin as it is Captain Marvel, however, there is no character development for him. Even when he gets scratched in the eye by Goose he is still a happy person who still loves the cat. Maybe there will be more of an origin for him later showing why he trusts no one and blah blah blah, but the inconsistency in his character was offputting. Tying the two together, if Nick Fury wasn't in this movie then I don't see Brie Larson being able to carry the weight on her own film. It's super disappointing because technically this is her 2nd go around as the character because they filmed Infinity War and End Game back to back, then they filmed Captain Marvel. The fight scenes in this movie were completely lackluster. The fight against her old team where No Doubt's "Just A Girl" seemed so bad in my eyes. I don't know if it was because it felt like the mix of the song was in the back/wasn't strong/seemed thin or if it was song choice or if it was the choreography of the fight, but something was off. Plus this is right after she unlocks her powers and you're going to tell me that couldn't just shred thru them. They're saying that she is the strongest character that is going to help in the fight against Thanos but the guy with antigravity gloves puts up a fight? Come on now. Not only that but they send for Ronin and when he comes he sends a couple of missiles down, then captain marvel destroys them and he just goes 'nahh nevermind I'm out'. Where is the climax of the film, because if it was the "Just A Girl" fight then that's just simply disappointing. And don't get me started on the CGI of her falling back to earth, Jesus Christ man. All in all, Samuel L. Jackson was great, the cat was alright and when she got her powers that was cool. Other than that complete and udder disappointment. Captain Marvel was a movie that seemed to play information catch up and focus on making as many jokes as possible rather than drive a plot forward. Would see again to point out everything I hated about it. Looking forward to End Game.… Expand

Mediocre film at best, but that’s probably being generous. The one thing it has is a great supporting cast. Action scenes are mildly entertaining but nothing special. What really hurts the movie is actually the lead role. Capt Marvel herselfMediocre film at best, but that’s probably being generous. The one thing it has is a great supporting cast. Action scenes are mildly entertaining but nothing special. What really hurts the movie is actually the lead role. Capt Marvel herself has little to no personality, and you as the viewer struggle to relate to her at all. They also went full re-tard with her superpowers giving her every power under the sun while at the same time giving her no weaknesses or equivalent villian to fight. Therefore, she has no challenges or obstacles to face(other than some sexism). Everything is just “super easy, barely an inconvenience.” It makes for a very boring protagnist. Now the question is how do you put an overpowered character like this into the group Avengers movie w/o making everyone else seem irrelevant?… Expand

Larson gives a forgettable performance. Her internal conflict amounts to standing up against some vague memories of "the white patriarchy" keeping her down. Every time she's on screen you look for some other supporting role to relieve her. Literally every other character offers more depth to their roles and to the movie overall. The movie would have been better if it had focused on Nick Fury as the main character and chronicled this event as a part of his past. Larson really doesn't bring anything.… Expand

There is absolutely nothing special about this movie. And it doesn't come close to even the worst MCU movie in terms of visuals. Only reason to watch it would be to be all caught up before watching EndGame.

Some CGI was okay. Guess how Nick Fury looses an eye, it's about as dumb as how solo got his name. Do not spend money on this cinematic experience. You would be more entertained if you took a twenty out of your wallet and set it on fire.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Meh movie. The story telling is disjoint and doesn't work very well. And occasionally weighted, down by an attempt at bland and misguided political message. Main character is unrelatable, unemotional and overpowered. The movie is somewhat saved by some of the supporting cast that sometimes deliver something interesting.

As one of the enemies says once to Captain marvel : 'I never really liked you' the heroine never really become a character you hope succed... I felt bad for the evil space general when his entire fleets missiles gets destroyed by this strange flying fire girl...… Expand

Good CGI but uninspiring main hero, Skrulls feel like something that came out of Star Trek.
I also don’t understand the concept of Cpt. Marvel, what’s next Cpt. Volkswagen?

At this stage so late in the game, this movie should’ve been as good as the most recent Marvel movies but it was plain dull and pretty stupid. Even as a female viewer, I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the dialogue and song choices. Brie Larson was horribly miscast for this role. Academy awards mean nothing as we’ve seen with Halle Berry and other winners who are more than capable of giving terrible performances sometimes. The character of Carol Danvers was completely uninteresting and kind of unlikable. I feel a bit uneasy about Endgame as I know Captain Marvel is being pushed as a big player but I would honestly rather her role be as limited as possible. It’s such a shame the writing, direction, and acting couldn’t be up to the current standard we’re at now. I really wish Captain Marvel came out 5 years ago so at least they could’ve had a second go of developing a much better storyline and character that could fit in nicely with the Avengers.… Expand

but yet some items and characters take unexplained actions for unexplained reasons.
I guess to make it watchable they had to slap on as much "paint" as possible so there are a LOT of "references" to how and why some people and things got their names.I thought the first "Hulk" with Eric Bana was pretty bad and I even thought that the first "Daredevil" with Ben Affleck was pretty bad - But They are no match for how terrible Captain Marvel was.Captain Marvel is the worst of the worst of the MCU.… Expand

Brie Larson is a great actress, but she's got nothing to work with here. Under better direction this could've been a worthy film of its empowering message.… Expand

What do you get when you cross Green Lantern, a boring script, and a feminist agenda? Captain Marvel of course! This movie was painful, I suppose it's worth seeing at some point since it does kind of setup End Game, but my God it was bad.
