Much better than expected. The trolls slogging this film haven't even seen it. I put it in the top 20-25% of MCU films. It has heart, humor and fun action sequences.

Jackson is NickThis is the Feminist Super Hero movie we needed at this moment in time. Brie Larson as Carol Danvers or Ver is at home as a badass superpower woman that doesn't want to be controlled or told she can't do something. Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury and vice versa. And get to know a lot about Nick Fury in this one. Ben Mendelsohn is great as Talos, the antagonist for the first half. I like the story. I love how the audience is learning about Carol Danvers as Carol is learning about herself at the same time. The acting is solid across the board. The action is great. The humor is really good. The best performance of a ginger cat on screen with Goose. Cat lovers will love this movie. I love Captain Marvel. Saw it twice and enjoyed it both times. I would say this is a solid 8 out of 10. But since the man-babies really don't like the truth that Brie Larson spoke about the film and media journalism industry being dominated by mostly cishet white man, they are review bombing this movie because they have nothing better to do. So I am giving this a 10 out of 10 just to troll them. But I do recommend everyone check the movie. Go see it. It is worth your time. Expand

There are several interesting twists and fantastic CGI. The de-aging of Samuel L. Jackson was so flawless I never even thought about it! Brie Larson and Jackson had terrific chemistry. Their scenes together and the comedic use of the cat was quite entertaining and had me laughing aloud several times. I *really* like that they didn't sexualize her! As much as I loved Wonder Woman and enjoyed looking at Gal Gadot, esp. in that role, she always looked like a model, even during her fights, and her costume exposed a lot of her body. In contrast, Captain Marvel's suit covers her whole body, yet she looks sexy in it! Carol Danvers looks like a tomboy and a fighter pilot, not a model, so she's more relatable to average women. I absolutely love her suit, especially with her CM colors! She looks feminine w/o having to show skin. I also like that she didn't have a love interest! I actually thought that made her more interesting. Not EVERY story has to have a romantic subplot or a love interest for the lead character. It was interesting that she had a familial bond w/ her best friend and her friend's daughter. One disappointment was that I expected greater emotion from her friend upon seeing Carol, whom she thought was dead, still alive!! Maybe muting one's emotions are just all part of being a fighter pilot, but it seemed odd to me. Still, the hug when they both accept what happened was touching, without being sappy. Overall, this piecing together of clues to find out who she is is an interesting way to tell her origin story. They diverged from the comics to create what I think is a better story, leaving out at least one problematic plotline in the comics, and making the Annette Bening character more complex and interesting. It's difficult to admit when one has been wrong and to change, so that was a positive element of this story. Seeing Carol Danvers' resistance to mind control near the end was inspiring. As for criticisms of Brie Larson's portrayal of the character, I still wonder how much of that is because the character never seems like a fish out of water, even when she literally falls onto a "strange" planet. Part of Wonder Woman's charm was the humor in how she stuck out when she was Diana Prince, as in, for example, the scene of her carrying her sword around in WW1 London. Her child-like joy (like when she tastes ice cream for the first time) were entertaining, and that's missing from Captain Marvel. Nevertheless, Captain Marvel is her own character, and she smiled and laughed quite a bit in the film, despite her dour expression in the trailers. I enjoyed this movie enough to go see it again. I'm sure I will see things I missed the first time around. I am also looking forward to seeing more Captain Marvel films in the future! Expand

Great 90s nostalgia vibe (I know the soundtrack wasn't as well received as the GotG song choices but CM has a solid selection, very appropriate to the era, and let's face it, the 90s was hardly the golden era of music. Good selection all the same). Some fantastic fights, particularly the scene where Carol fights while sprinting through a Skrull ship with her hands trapped and no shoes on! It was comedic but also very well executed, a brawly sort of fight which highlights her impulsive nature but also her brute strength (and this is before she reaches peak-power!). The "flash-back/dream sequence" was very cleverly executed, I liked how Marvel chose to break from their usual linear storytelling and instead Carol's "origin story" plays out backwards (we meet a high-powered amnesiac "Vers" and we work backwards to unravel the mystery of where Carol has come from and who she is. It was an interesting change and well executed in my opinion). The supporting cast are all marvellous, Fury, Coulson, Maria & Monica, Goose, Yon-Rogg and Talos all deliver solid performances. Despite the vocal minority of dissenters, Carol lives up to her hashtag and smashed into cinemas #HigherFurtherFaster than many of her MCU colleagues, breaking $1billion in the box off in the blink of an eye. Well earned and I'm looking forward to seeing her character grow. Expand

All the controversy surrounding this film is truly just background noise. Let the film speak for itself. The dynamic between Carol and Fury is entertaining, the story itself is engaging, and there’s a cute cat (always a bonus). This film is not only a story about Captain Marvel but a story about the avengers, Nick Fury, and the Kree. It provides context for all other films in the MCU and is undoubtedly an important film to watch if you plan on seeing other Marvel films in the future. I’ve heard people describe Carol as emotionless, but I struggle to see where exactly in the film she is being emotionless. She’s a soldier trying to follow her orders, but the film is about her overcoming barriers and following her heart while also learning the extent of her power. Overall, I would say I enjoyed everything about the film. The 90s set pieces, the beautiful CGI that was added to the fight scenes, the story, and the acting itself. An absolute must-see. Expand

Might even be the strongest Avenger. Captain Marvel well deserves the "super" prefix. Seeing powerful characters perform incredible feats is one of the reason I like watching superhero movies. It's the reason Superman is my favorite superhero. But I digress.

Good chemistry between Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson, who spend a big chunk of the movie together. Both fantastic actors. We also get to see a well done de-aged Samuel L. Jackson because the action takes place in the past. There is a big twist that completely changes the movie. Took me by surprise. Can't wait to see the sequel in 2022.

But it's unfortunate Captain Marvel is yet another movie that has been review-bombed solely for political reasons by angry insecure manchildren because Brie Larson committed wrongthink by being a feminist. Captain Marvel still passed $1 billion at worldwide box office. Lol!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went in with zero expectations and was blown away. I love this movie! I have since watched it a dozen times to analyze it (a hobby of mine).

Ignore the lowest reviews that cite SJW nonsense. I’m a white man in my 40s, and I 100% agree with what Brie Larson ACTUALLY SAID about movie reviewers. The offense taken at her statements—which have been viewed completely out of context—led many racist and sexist trolls to try to ruin this film before anyone saw it. They failed, and I’m glad.

This is NOT just a movie about girl power. Carol Danvers is absolutely not OP from the start, nor is she “wooden” and “emotionless.” Carol goes through quite a journey of self rediscovery and realization of the forces that have abused and exploited her for years.

This film has all the elements of a great superhero film, and does it in a way that both fits well into the MCU and shows young girls that they can be heroes, too, no matter how many times they are knocked down by the world.

And guys, Nick Fury did NOT lose his eye to “a cat.” Pay attention!

Captain Marvel is a really cool movie that tells us the story of Carol Denvers in a fresh and quirky way compared to other Marvel movies.

Brie Larson is a perfect choice for portraying her, I couldn't think of anyone else! Plus, the chemistry between her and Samuel L. Jackson is really good, since they're great friends IRL, and capable of delivering lots of unforgettable funny moments.

Another thing that makes this movie special for me is the amazing Stan Lee tribute in the Marvel intro and cameo, which I gotta say its my favourite one: a simple, yet powerful heartwarming exchange of genuine smiles between Stan and Brie. Thank you Stan, for everything.

Don't let anyone fool you! You might have heard bad things about the movie, the character or even the actress herself, I'm just going to say: watch it and judge for yourself, I'm sure it's going to be worth your while.

The Kree and Skrulls were both done wonderfully, there were unique twists on the characters of Mar-Vell and Talos, and it naturally connected to other pieces of the cosmic MCU. Fury, Coulson, and Goose were also all wonderfully done. Marvel seems to have figured out how to reliably make solid villains finally, since we're on a roll with Vulture, Killmonger, Ghost, Thanos, and now this movie. Probably one of the best 'origin' movies I've seen in a while. Expand

The humor was constant and Brie LarsonI went into this movie expecting it to be on par with the first Thor and Captain America movies, but never expected it to be better than Iron Man and The Avengers. I loved every aspect of this film. The humor was constant and Brie Larson really brought Captain Marvel to life for me. She has so many endearing moments and her confidence rivals Robert Downey Jr's interpretation of Tony Stark. This is the best 90s Sam Jackson movie since Jackie Brown. Ben Mendelssohn is easily the most compelling adversary we've had in a long time and the way they tied this movie into the collective gave me GOOSE bumps. Jude Law is also a ton of fun and kudos to Lashana Lynch. What's amazing about the MCU is that you could watch Captain America The First Avenger first, then Captain Marvel, and then go into Iron Man and you get to experience the complete history of the Tesseract and it almost makes the entire MCU better, and it begins the journey towards Infinity War with the Infinity Stones with such grace. I will probably see this movie five times in the theater (thanks AMC!) because wow, what a beautiful cinematic experience. If I had a daughter, this would be the movie poster I'd want her to have on her wall. 9/10 Expand

Spoiler free review.

I went to the cinema yesterday and me and my friends had a really good time watching this movie.

Much like many of the other superheroes in the marvel cinematic universe, I didn't really know much about them before watching the movies, and that's the case with Captain Marvel as well. I was happily surprised by how much I liked her as a character, what she stands for, her super powers and now I just want to read and watch more of her.

I had such a big smile on my face during most of the movie. I laughed and cried and sometimes both at the same time. Since the movie is set in the 90's, it has plenty good of callbacks with both music and other nostalgic moments that I won't spoil here. Growing up as a teen in the 90's, I was humming along (inside me, I don't disturb others in the theater :p) to many of the classics songs that I remember fondly from my youth.

Without spoiling anything I just want to mention that the special effects and CGI in this movie are simply superb!

Marvel has made so many good superhero movies over the years, and Captain Marvel is just as good as the others that came before it.
So if you liked any of the other Marvel movies, or in general like superhero movies, there is a high probability you will like this one as well.
If you are tired of superhero/marvel movies, then this will probably not change your mind.

I'm really looking forward to what comes next in phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what Captain Marvel will contribute there.

Frankly, I don't care how well or how poorly this offering fits into the larger MCU mythology or the overall marketing strategy of the franchise; I judge a film on its individual merits, and, on this score, the picture succeeds brilliantly on every front. "Captain Marvel" does what a superhero movie should -- entertain, inspire and leave viewers feel as though they've gotten their money's worth from the theatrical experience. Expand

Within the limits of the load bearing plot elements constraining the movie (the range of freedom for a prequel is somewhat limited), I would say they have done quite well here. As an aside, it is fairly clear that this title is being review bombed.

It gives a nice back story to a few characters and events, leaving me wondering if Captain Marvel 2 will be the events that lead up to Guardians of the Galaxy.

Had a good time watching this. I'd compare this the most to the first Captain America in that is a good balance of plot, action, and comedy. This film is surprisingly funny, which the trailers don't reveal. This is a buddy cop/road trip movieHad a good time watching this. I'd compare this the most to the first Captain America in that is a good balance of plot, action, and comedy. This film is surprisingly funny, which the trailers don't reveal. This is a buddy cop/road trip movie featuring interplay between Captain Marvel and Nick Fury.

Captain Marvel is likable enough, both confident and charming. Alison Brie does well in the role whenever it comes to the lighthearted bits. However, there are a couple times during the serious/expositional parts where she felt a bit wooden. It doesn't help that her tone of voice doesn't shift much.

Although, Nick Fury has been a regular of the Marvel films for a while, it's nice to see him finely be a lead character. Jackson seems to be having a lot of fun playing a younger, looser Fury (this takes place during the 90's).

Also a big fan of Ben Mendelsson as Talos, leader of a squad of the shapeshifting enemy race the Skrulls. I was afraid the actor was being typecasted in his villain roles recently, but this character is a total 180 of his previous ones. He's funny and one of the biggest people persons of the MCU villains.

Maintains the Marvel spectacle of visuals and action. They use computer graphics to make Jackson look younger and they have really perfected the technology. You only notice the CGI if you're looking for it. The graphics for Coulson aren't quite as seamless. I'm guessing they didn't put as much effort into him as he isn't in this as much. The movie is a very typical Marvel movie. It doesn't establish it's own tone like the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy or Black Panther. Suffers from trying to stuff too much plot and characters in. Marvel's past and relationships are given short shrift. More time should've been devoted to developing the characters of Marvel's best friend and the alien military unit she starts out as a part of.

They explain the cause of a certain event/line in a future Marvel movie but by trying to make a joke out of it. I did not like that at all. Robbed the seriousness of that moment and the attempt to play against expectations and the need for movie prequels to explain every little thing is just frustratingly predictable.

Ever since the Kree first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy, I've been waiting to see them adapt the Kree Intelligence who has always had a unique design. We finally get it and sadly the directors/writers just went with the trodden entity appears as someone the person knows routine.

Yeah, this isn't the most standout of the films, but I still got a lot of enjoyment out of this.

Not only was the acting fantastic, but the script was full of funny banter, references to the MCU, and even started with a heartwarmingly tragic nod to Stan Lee. The plot of the movie was so well thought out and connects so well to a multitude of other MCU films. As always, Samuel L Jackson brought a fantastic skill set to the table as Nick Fury and Brie Larson's fun but badass attitude matched Carol Danver's personality perfectly. The whole film was filled with hilarious 90's references, but enough jokes for younger audiences to appreciate too. That's all without the empowering feminist subtext that truly made the movie a joy to watch. I'll be honest, I'm only writing this review because of the mass negative feedback trolls have been giving this movie. For those people, my message is simple; If your masculinity is so fragile that a fictional woman being powerful upsets you as much as the comments say, you've honestly lost the right to call yourself a man. It's a new era, asshats. Women get some representation. Shocking, I know.

To the people who are considering seeing this movie, especially women, go. For. It. It's an amazingly powerful movie with plot twists and themes that make Carol Danvers more of a hero than many of the male members of the MCU.

Brie's acting, while inconsistent in some areas, was great overall. Samuel L Jackson was memorable in his role, and an excellent anchor for the film. The other actors and actresses were generally good. Also, a poignant moment was a great tribute to Stan Lee. Captain Marvel had humor (particularly goose!), a compelling story (although I thought a few aspects of the story did not add up), intrigue. I would recommend seeing it at least once.

Captain Marvel is jam packed with action and is a delight to watch. The humour comes thick and fast but never feels forced or prevents the narrative from including a lot of genuinely touching moments.

As a fan of the Captain Marvel comics it was a little nerve-wracking waiting to see how the MCU would handle such a layered, powerful character with a back story more tangled than most. Would the Carol I know be the same on screen? After seeing the movie, any worries I had evaporated faster than you can say "Lt Trouble".

Brie Larson did an incredible job of bringing Carol to life and was an absolute joy to watch. The whole cast gave stellar performances, from Sam Jackson's cat-loving S.H.I.E.L.D agent to Lashana Lynch's awesome air force pilot. Clark Gregg's return was brief but impactful and Annette Bening shone in her most mysterious role yet.

People who haven't seen the other MCU movies or read any of the comics needn't worry, there were plenty of subtle references, cameos and easter eggs included but there was no prior viewing or reading required.

Then there's the soundtrack, which has to be one of the best movie soundtracks ever! The film-makers made some bold decisions of where to use some of the iconic, grungier tracks of the 90s and for me every single one of them paid off. The 90s references don't end there either, and anyone who remembers the period will feel a few pangs of nostalgia throughout and find themselves remembering things they didn't realise they ever forgot (which is very fitting considering the plot) but it's never leaned on too heavily.

Unfortunately Captain Marvel is held back in the same way so many origin stories are. Having to introduce new races to the MCU and explain how a hero gets their powers is always going to take up valuable screen time. Carol's life before her powers is a fascinating one and I was left wanting to see more. But this is a super hero movie after all and so the focus will always have to be on that aspect of her life.

Overall the movie is incredibly fun to watch. Perfectly cast, with amazing effects and a plot that impressively manages to be both familiar and unpredictable.
