Captain Marvel

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've seen Captain Marvel twice now, and I actually liked it better on second viewing. I went into the movie very apprehensive that the studio would blow it and make huge mistakes with this movie given the historic opportunity, like DC did by cramming too much mess into Batman vs. Superman (very obvious that movie was "made by committee" instead of the actual director). But I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be a solid entry into the Marvel movie universe. Fun and entertaining, Brie Larson's character is at her best and most enjoyable self when engaging in Carol's snarky sarcastic side. CGI & special effects are excellent, actually better than many CGI scenes in Black Panther. The only real complaints I had are: The color of Danver's green "Kree military" suit. I just don't like that color, it's flat.

The de-aging CGI on Samuel L. Jackson was fantastic, but on Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson it was HORRIBLE. His face looked plastic and fake, bad enough it almost took me out of the movie on first viewing.

Bad science regarding an impromptu "retrofit" of an earth jet craft to make it not only worthy of space travel, but escape velocity?! Come on that's like upgrading a Cessna to go into space. Other than these relatively minor problems, it was a solid, fun movie! Very satisfying to finally see Captain Marvel realize her full potential and BREAK LOOSE. Go see it and judge for yourself! Solid 8 out of 10 stars for me.… Expand

The story was intelligent and realistic. I only saw one hiccup in the story which involves the Kree fleet arriving at Earth, but that is the only hiccup I saw. 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.

I have no idea what the negative reviews are about. You have to be wanting to hate this movie to hate it.… Expand

She basically started off as a kick ass warrior and ended the movie as a kick ass warrior. The acting from Brie Larson was a little bit one sided. 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. Not to say other movies havent done this right, you have the Black Widow, Wonder Woman etc, but this was bad. Like The Last Jedi BAD.… Expand

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

It somehow made me less excited for Endgame given the fact that Captain Marvel is a 2 hour Avengers commercial. However, there is fun to be had for those who do aren't super fans of Marvel. I believe that that audience of people will enjoy this film over those who have seen every movie. If you look at it from that perspective, then the film will be more fun and less frustrating.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was bad with some good parts. The pacing was a mess, the plot was terrible, and there wasn't really anything that stood out as particularly interesting. I went in expecting a below average Marvel movie and that was probably the best approach to have. I'll also keep this as a footnote, but the inserted politics didn't do the movie any favors and actually made the movie more enjoyable in the bad way. Scenes flow very quickly with hardly any stops to get invested in what is going on. There was a pretty consistent pattern of wasted tension any time things did slow down, including a disappointing 3rd act when confronting the big bad guy. Also as much as I enjoy Goose the cat, the writers use it as an out to conflict several times which feels cheap and unearned. Captain Marvel is invincible. Even while human, she shrugged off the crash of a plane using a prototype light speed engine which still wasn't enough for this masochist, so she proceeded to shoot the engine point blank for it to blow up in her face. Somehow the universe rewards her with superpowers for this attempted suicide. All the scenes showing her growing up and being put down by men were all pretty funny because it was usually partnered with footage of her failing, including her crashing into a wall after being told to slow down while driving a go kart. He wasn't talking down to you, he was just telling you to drive safely. This is also consistent with how she acts as an adult since when she fails then, she immediately uses her powers to get her way. Got bested in a friendly sparring match? Take a cheap shot when on the ground and launch them across the room. Such a noble and likable character. Carol was also extremely stiff throughout the movie, only going through the motions rather than actually expressing any emotion. It was fun to laugh at some of the choices made, like the music selection for some fight scenes, but I wouldn't want to watch it again.… Expand

I mean, Capt Marvel has always been unpopular in the comics, and Brie Larson's arrogance appearance with little weaknesses didn't make it any better. Comparing to Wonder Woman, WW was powerful, but she also retained her ignorance with the society, and slowly learnt of her powers and developed as a likable character. Whereas, Capt Marvel....warrior hero straight off the bat. Where were you thinking Disney Marvel?!?… Expand

And i was not going to review this movie, but after a recent timcast youtube video decided to. He didn't like the eye story, but i did. This was one of the few stories i liked. 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. Hated by a lot of people, the first Ant man movie, in my opinion, was 20% better.… Expand

Brie Larson's Captain Marvel brings all the snark of Starlord with Iron Man's swagger and Captain America's command presence. Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury is hilarious, and I really liked the friendship between Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau (played by Lashana Lynch). The 90's references are fun to watch, as are the dog fights and some of the melee battles. My biggest problems are twofold. First, the movie has tense points up until Captain Marvel regains all of her powers at which point it gets ridiculous. Secondly, they take the female empowerment message a little too far with some snide comments against men in general. Yeah, I get it it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But it detracts instead of adds to the story.… Expand

The movie just seemed like it should've been amazing but like Black Panther, it seemed to just be an explanation as to why this new character was in the next movie. And hopefully like with Black Panther, Wakanda was so much better in Avengers 3 than in Black Panther. Here's hoping her character gets a better treatment in Avengers 4.… 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

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.

Their relationship is portrayed like a couple were the man is keeping the woman down and it wasn't until she leaves him that she finds her real power. This movie is trying to channel the energy of Wonder Woman, but it is missing the heart that made Wonder Woman so compelling and for that reason, it fails at delivering and connecting with the audience. The one bright spot is Samuel L. Jackson's, Nick Fury. He is the one redeeming part of this movie. He is funny and engaging. I only hope they can redeem this character in the upcoming Avenger: Endgame or Disney/Marvel would've squandered one of the most powerful and complex characters in their roster.… Expand

Performances are great, the whole cast is exceptional, and the hero characters are great role models. Larson killed it as Carol and the titular hero, and I can't wait to see more of her in the MCU. The movie's so much fun. Direction, cinematography, filmscore, action, humor, emotion, vfx, editing were all great. There're hilarious moments as well as emotional, powerful, and empowering ones too. The movie's full of surprises and unexpicted twists, and carries important messages. There're a Stan Lee tribute, his signature cameo, a significant mid-credits scene, and a less significant post-credits one, but you should see it. Absolutely worth a second viewing. Go see Captain Marvel as soon as you can! You'll most definitely realize that once isn't enough!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a terrible movie- had some good laughs, and Samuel L. Jackson as Fury is, as always, a delight- but by God, Captain Marvel the character was BLAND. I've heard some people attribute this to the memory-wiping/brainwashing she endured, but come ON. At no point in the movie was she anything but a Strong Female Character(TM) that made a few smart quips and kicked butt.

Like, let me highlight a little bit of this for you with a **SPOILER**: There's this part where she apologizes to the Skrulls for participating in the Kree's (more or less) genocide of their race. Talos says it's cool, war means everyone's hands are dirty, no harm done. I'd argue that her fighting for the Kree is the most controversial thing about her in this movie (the rest is, as I said, bland beyond words).

But this apology is undermined by two things:

A) Captain Marvel is also a victim of the Kree. She has been manipulated into helping them in this fight. They took advantage of (or deliberately wiped) her memory/lack thereof, and so the average viewer could dismiss it as "It's not REALLY her fault, she was brainwashed."

B) We never actually SEE her participating in any of this slaughter. We see her participating in a recovery mission that ends with them being ambushed by the Kree (i.e. blatantly painting them, to us and Danvers, as the enemy). We never see her actually doing anything morally questionable towards them- if Marvel/Disney wanted to paint a picture of a deeper character, a solider who has committed wrongs (intentionally or not) and needing to atone for them, it would have made for a much better character.

But silly me: Then she wouldn't be a ROLE MODEL for little girls, and God knows that's all female characters need to be. Strong enough that she can flatten her enemies without a real fight (she BARELY even got knocked around in that big fight towards the end), never makes any significant mistakes, and is easily trusted/accepted/forgiven by all the right people.

We have a word for that. It's a "Mary Sue", and despite what Certain People whine about that term, IT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT.

Bad show, Marvel/Disney. You could've made Captain Marvel a beautifully developed personality like Iron Man, Thor, Wonder Woman, etc. Instead you chose to play it safe so you could sell toys and brag about how you made a female superhero film and how ~feminist~ you are.… Expand

Great chemistry between SLJ and basically everyone, despite the reports of a flat performance, Brie (particularly opposite Jude Law) did very well. As for the so-called feminist narrative, it was far more organically presented than in sister heroine flick Wonder Woman, who's "oops you underestimated me because Im a woman" grew stale quickly, but in Captain Marvel I find myself rooting for Carol purely based of her own character and arc, and the fact that shes a woman fits naturally in why she is where and who she is.

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

The CGI is good (I mean its Marvel, what else you've expected) Samuel Jackson is as fun and charismatic as always, but the plot, the Mary Sue main character are just not worth the time wasted. A 2 hours long film with a 40 minute substance.

The plot is a generic "new Marvel hero" movie with cliche villain and plot points, if you watched ANY hero's solo movie, you watched this one too. I thought Black Panther was one of the worst Marvel's films, but I rewatched it 3 months later and actually had a lot of fun with it, so Captain Marvel is one of the worst now, if Green Lanter wouldn't exist, CM could probably be THE worst. Not to mention that main performance is also incredibly lazy, Brie Larson (which I honestly like despite her overwhelming racism to the white men) just doesn't play in this movie, her character experiences different problems but her facial expression never changes, I don't understand what happened to Brie but this is most definitely her worst performance.

+1 for CGI|+1 for Samuel Jackson|+1 for Stan Lee's cameo|+1 for somewhat competent comedy.

Brie Larson has, for the most part, resorted to the acting choice of "trying to look cool by not showing emotion". She has the little presence. She was amazing in 'Room', but wrong for this role. Ultimately, the movie didn't excite me, and the directors of the intriguing 'Half Nelson', have really let themselves down with this one.… Expand

The movie spreads boredom, and we ask ourselves if the main lead really won an Oscar award. I do not think it is Brie Larson’s fault, but it is a mix of all the elements that converted a dazzling character into a floundering project. Did the script fail? Did the acting fail? All failed in this film. However, we can salvage the cat from this lame movie.

The film is boring and confusing. At the beginning, we watch Vers training and for almost 10 – 15 minutes they talk about “emotions.” As a personal comment, invoking the word does not mean that the actress expressed emotions; she couldn’t do it. Carol Danvers is a complex character, with several emotional problems, she is loved by men and WOMEN, and Brie failed in personification (script issue?). You cannot ask pears to the elm, and we cannot ask Brie Larson to be Carol Danvers. As the movie continues, you can be touched by the 90’s nostalgia, but that is not enough because we have an unbalanced character with amnesia (and amnesia in the acting too) but she is vastly overpowered, and that does not make sense. The introduction of other characters as a young Nick Fury and Goose, the cat refreshed the movie and saved it from the collapse. Captain Marvel failed, this is not about gender issues; it is about story, Captain Marvel does not have the latter. I wanted to see a strong female lead, and I ended praising a cat and not the heroine. On the other hand, Carol Danvers' perseverance and will to fight comes from her emotions and human side. Furthermore, she fights because it is needed no matter if there is a probability of losing, she struggles because inside in her heart something pushes her to fight, but in this movie, we only observe an overpower female lead, expressionless, who does not transmit charisma to the audience. As a female, I am disappointed, and this movie is an egregious torment. Please, do not confuse feminism with an overpowered female because that message will only lead to disapproval.… Expand

Also the movie was kinda riddled with plot holes and unsatisfying answers, and if you know how the MCU works, you already can piece together how the movie is gonna end. Captain Marvel isn't a terrible movie, but it just doesn't quite do a good job at portraying the true potential power of Captain Marvel, but instead is kinda pretty cheesy and dumb at times.

This is the point where i jump off from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. this movie is has bad structure. just about every character is fantastic except Captain marvel (Carol Danvers) everyone else can stand on their own. but the writing for Carol is just god awful. so many changes to the story such as Mar-Vell being a guy originally being gender swapped to a woman. people talk about White washing. but when it happens to a white or a male no one bats an eye at it. Captain marvel has such great music just misplaced. like Nirvana's Come as you are. perfect place for that should have been when Carol removed that chip that was holding her back. not before that scene. the i'm just a girl song was terrible placement. i get why they used it. but that fight scene should have used like i said Come as you are from Nirvana or something different. the song just doesn't fit that fight scene. the Cat's performance in the movie is terribly blown out of proportion. How fury comes up with the Avengers initiative is dumb as writing. how he loses his eye is dumb writing. the best part of the movie is the stan lee tribute.

the absolute most damning part of the movie is i was yawning through the movie. i've never yawned through any marvel movie to date. this movie was totally flat tone death and disappointing by MCU standards. I used to think Ironman 3 was terrible. this is a new level of terrible.… Expand

As far as MCU movies go, this one is slightly above average. Not quite Captain America Civil War level, but definitely above Thor 1 & 2. Plus, great soundtrack.

ThisThey made a character with no real weakness who spends the entire movie as an expressionless hero with no charisma. I was so bored during this movie. By the time the pace FINALLY picked back up near the end, it was too little too late. This entirely forgettable entry into this massive film franchise is completely skippable. You won't need to see this to understand what's going on in Endgame. Yes, there will be this new Captain Marvel character in Endgame, but all you really need to know is that she existed back in the 90's and finds her way back to the action "in the nick of time" once Endgame rolls around. One thing to note: Your experience of the MCU as a whole may be lessened if you see this movie or accept this movie as canon. They literally retconned Captain Marvel as the BEGINNING of the Avengers, as well as the battle for control of a certain macguffin that was central to phase 1 marvel's climax. They also introduce a plotline where there's little reason for the Kree to have largely ignored Earth all this time since the 90's. This is a pretty big plothole.

How does this rank compared to the rest of the MCU? It's right at the bottom; near but below Thor the Dark World and Iron Man 2. If Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 are both 2/5 stars, this one is 1.5/5 stars.… Expand

Unless all you are there for is the CGI, and then you can add +3 to the score. Larson's performances show that she does have the range to actually deliver, it is just too bad the that director of the day could not be bothered to do their job and keep her focused for more than 10 seconds at a time.… Expand

The rest of the cast did a fine job, Ben Mendelsohn’s was the stand out performance for me and Samuel L Jackson as always oozes charisma and presence from every pore. Bree Larson is a talented actor, so I can only imagine that she was either poorly directed or just miscast in the role. I can’t really understand how she managed to give such an unconvincing performance.
Otherwise the story was pretty standard stuff with a plot twist you could see coming a mile off. The action wasn’t very well done or exciting. I thought the cat was a novel touch and I enjoyed Fury’s interaction with it.
Overall it was a disappointment and Marvel will need to do a lot better if they intend to have Carol Danvers helm the franchise.… Expand

There has been a question about whether Brie Larson and the producers would artifically add intersectionalIn general, I thought that Captain marvel was a decent comic book movie that served to function as a world-building movie for the MCU. There has been a question about whether Brie Larson and the producers would artifically add intersectional feministic plot points to the film, and this is the certainly case. There are many depictions of men "surpressing captain marvel", some of which are even shown up to three times throughout the movie. It ranges from her father, to her co-workers,her leader, to just random strangers. The abundance of these depictions of men try to paint this false image that men are surpressing women throughout history when any good historian would know that it's far more complicated than that, and related to the lack of birth control, the economy, and the types of jobs available, throughout history. Instead of focusing on her being a badass and fighting evil, she is instead fighting "masculine" figures that appear to represent the ficticious patriarchy. The "good men" in the movies are depicted well, however. I give it -2/10 from the total score for these points.

Apart from the injection of radical ideology, I'd say it was an interesting movie that fleshed out areas of the MCU that we all would like to see. Everyone, excluding Brie Larson, stuck to the usual plot points you've come to expect from the MCU. The worlds and space scenes were quite amazing, but the music score was a bit unremarkable. I would say that if the producers lay off the extreme feminist ideology, Captain Marvel's inclusion in the MCU will be quite interesting and positive.

How did it fare?

To begin, let me say that this film does have its merits and has a reasonably strong first act. While the acting of its lead, Brie Larson, was by and large underwhelming and flat throughout, others such as Mendlesohn and Jackson brought their usual A-game. The effects were well done, and the score was immersive and unique, standing apart in a great way from its fellow MCU entries. Sadly, these stronger elements of the film were not enough to hold up the weight of its weaknesses, of which there was plenty. The most glaring issue for me would have to be the weak-to-nonexistent story arc of its primary character, "Vers" / Carol Danvers. She started the movie assertive, determined, confident, and strong and ended the movie... assertive, determined, confident, and strong. But hey, she got more powerful! So there's that. Apart from this, Brie Larson's performance falls disappointingly flat, leaving scenes (one with her mentor, in particular) which could and should have been powerful moments in the film feeling hollow and unaffecting as a result.

The general plot of the story has a solid outline but is inadequately fleshed out, leading to a few plot holes. The screenwriters' neglect in this area has also led to the creation of the first noticeably glaring continuity errors in the MCU (conflicts with some of Nick Fury's words and actions from earlier MCU films, places kinks in the explanation of what happened to certain pivotal elements from other movies, etc.), which Marvel has up until now managed to smoothly avoid. Character development feels somewhat lacking with some supporting characters, and the friendship between Carol and Maria is entirely unconvincing, leading me to wonder if the lead role was simply miscast, or if the problem goes deeper than that and falls more on the shoulders of the director. Regardless, the end result is unfortunately the same. Fight scenes, which we as an audience have come to expect from the MCU to be nothing short of a gloriously and smoothly executed spectacle, are frustratingly dark and filled with enough jump-cuts to induce a migraine. There's one scene in particular of Vers chasing and battling an opponent in and on a train which is cut so excessively and jarringly that it nearly rendered any fight choreography needless. This, in my opinion, is unforgivable in an action film, much less a superhero blockbuster. They can do and have done so much better. So what happened here? Captain Marvel, despite being a historically bottom-shelf Marvel character that has never quite seemed to find an audience in Marvel Comics (it's reportedly been rebooted 5 times in only 6 years), had potential. Sadly, that potential seems to have been squandered by attention that should have been directed toward penning a cohesive story and casting the right talent being instead tragically directed toward advancing a feminist agenda c/o virtue signaling by the MCU and Disney in an effort which screams, "We have our Wonder Woman, too!" But they don't, really. They could have, but in the end, this proves to be simply too contrived of a work to even compare. With a bland performance by its lead, a seemingly rushed script, choppy and hard to follow fight scenes, and a lacking character arc for its namesake, Captain Marvel's pros flimsily crumble beneath the weight of its politically-charged cons. Here's hoping if it gets a sequel, the filmmakers will have learned from this and will then choose to focus more on telling a compelling story and getting solid performances from its players. Stop trying to create a "strong woman character" and just write a solid character who then shows us she is strong by virtue of her actions. Put the horse before the cart. The story will be all the better for it, and as we all know, that's all that matters. It's why we go to the movies, after all: everyone loves a good story.… Expand

Following the comic's lead, we have the mediocre bore Carol Danvers version of Captain Marvel; no character arc, no charisma, over-powered, and over-shadowed by a cat. And don't go looking for a tie-in to Avengers 4. You can completely skip this one if you're worried about missing anything for End Game. Find a better writer and a lead more fitting of a superhero, then maybe you'd have a worthy entry into the MCU...… Expand

But I think the writing out stunk her performance. Yes, Larson was terrible. She has no unique style or charisma and is quite bland and not worthy to headline a big budget movie that needs the audience to actually care about her character. The combination of misguided, amateur writing, and Larson's bizarre acting, made the Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel character seem like a hollow, impossible to relate to robot. And that's saying something when it took Anthony Daniels like 2 minutes to make C3P0 interesting in Star Wars A New Hope. Even the radio controlled R2D2 was a more sympathetic character than Captain Marvel.

Yeah, I know Larson is getting bashed harshly, but I'm not going easy on the critique because of that. She was playing a heroine, but came across like Sean Young's Blade Runner replicant or Kristanna Loken's T-X from Terminator: Rise Of The Machines. As I watched the movie, I couldn't stop looking at Larson like I would a car wreck. It was surreal and creepy. I'm not familiar with her acting but surely she does not act like that in every movie. But as I said, the story and all of it's many bad ideas was the worst thing about the movie. Marvel & the writers made their first misstep by setting it in the 90s all so they could retcon the MCU's past and make Danvers the first Avenger. The movie seemed to drag forever and contrary to reports...NO ONE SHINED IN THIS MOVIE!! Sam Jackson's Nick Fury was supposed to be younger but he seemed like a tired old man. Clark Gregg should have been used better. The bits with the cat were one of the worst things in any movie, EVER! The finale was like watching Superman VS The Riddler. I can't even call that a final fight. I am amazed that Marvel would make such a bad movie, even though Doctor Strange, Spider-Man Homecoming and both Ant-Man movies were flat lined bores. Infinity War was vastly overrated. But Captain Marvel....so bad it's possibly worse than Iron Man 2 and Thor 2.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first 'female-led' MCU movie was, more or less, by the numbers. It wasn't a terrible movie (which I thought it would be), but it wasn't exceptional either. The film from several key problems. The plot is ploddy and key issues seem to suddenly be abandoned and casually forgotten about. The pacing, though generally fine feels just a little bit off. But of course, the worst aspect of the film was it's choice of lead. Despite having the credentials of being an Academy Award winning actress, Brie Larson had literally no business being in a superhero movie, especially as it's lead heroine. For about 80% she literally has the same dull look on her face, no matter what situation she is faced with. I could count on my fingers the number of times she actually displayed emotion. The irony of this was her story, which suggested she was too emotional by Kree standards, and needed to learn to be less emotive. No problems there. As Kree as Kree gets. One important characteristic for any MCU lead is charisma, and Miss Larson has literally no charisma in this role. She feels more like a placeholder, waiting for the actual star to take over the role. She never ever seems to truly own the role, and make it her own. She was, in a word, unbelievable. And I mean that in the proper meaning of the word, never once do I believe that she is that character, never once do I actually think she is this bad-ass. There's a point near the end of the film when she is about to go into a battle, and she is walking, presumably 'bad-ass' and she just looks like a fan trying hilariously to be bad-ass, but just being bad. The technical of the film are what we have come to expect for MCU films. They were incredible, beautiful and explosive. Sam Jackson is awesome even as a slightly more lukewarm Fury, although the revelation of how he got his patented wounded eye is frankly disappointed. The star of the movie, of course, was Goose the cat, and as a cat lover myself, I always think there's a place for our feline friends on the big screen. The Skrulls were also brought to life, although a little different from the source material, although I am personally curious to see where this particular version of the Skrulls could go. Their story is undoubtedly the heart of the film, and they were actually more human and made me feel more than it's Academy Award winning lead. The film, in effect, should not exist yet. Placing it just before Endgame is frankly puzzling. Surely the current Avengers arc can be solved without the need of yet another all-powerful Mary Sue character. I cannot be feel that the entire story might have been better served to be part of a new arc rather than latching on to a soon-to-be old arc. In closing, Captain Marvel was an unnecessary movie that likely should have been made in a few years rather than now. It is an enjoyable film, not exceptional, and suffers from, sadly, the most uninspired lead the MCU has yet seen. It also trod on dangerous group in respect to both the source material as well as pre-established MCU lore. Marvel, I don't need to tell you to respect the Lore. It's what Stan Lee, God rest his soul, would have done. Hopefully, course correction will come. But thankfully, despite it's flaws, it is not The Last Jedi I feared it would be.… Expand
