DC really have schooled Marvel/Disney by showing them how to do great movie with strong female lead in Wonder Woman, versus this absolute dirge.

I don't really mind Mary Sues, but I am not really interested in seeing Endgame now. This movie made me think that Captain Marvel will just fly in and knock out Thanos, while the others we have spent 10 years getting to know will just stand around.… Expand

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

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

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

The good things I can say about this movie start and end with Samuel L Jackson. Other than that the film is aggressively mediocre and Brie Larson is not believable as the next face of the MCU. Would rather have seen a Scarlet Witch movie.

While the movie has all the flash, polish and expert special effects you would expect, the writing is so full of plot holes I feel like I needed a ball of yarn and two knitting needles while I was watching it. Captain Marvel, sorry 'Carol',While the movie has all the flash, polish and expert special effects you would expect, the writing is so full of plot holes I feel like I needed a ball of yarn and two knitting needles while I was watching it. Captain Marvel, sorry 'Carol', herself is so OP in this movie that she breaks the entirety of the MCU. She could have stopped Thanos in about three seconds which is why she was absent for most of Endgame. She ruins the continuity of the entire Marvel Universe and makes every other hero in it utterly pointless. The movie itself has no character development outside of 'get stronger'. There is no emotional reaction to regaining her lost memories, no emotional reunion with her very best friend. No emotional fallout from learning her teammates that she trained with and trusted her life to were actually Evil Bad Guys who had deceived her for 6 whole years. There is no emotional growth of the character of Carol what so ever in the entire movie. She just 'gets gud' at being an all powerful god-like ex-human in the space of a few days. Seriously Marvel? You throw away a decade of deep and enthralling character development and world building just for one mediocre movie about a hero so OP she can't even exist alongside the MCU in general without mucking up every other aspect of the franchise?

And no, this is not about her being a 'her'. The character is weak because there is no Hero's Journey for her to go on. She makes no mistakes, learns absolutely nothing besides 'punch harder' and in general has no journey at all, let along one worthy of a hero who learns and grows through adversity and self reflection.

I did enjoy the cameo by Clark Gregg/Phil Coulson, and Samuel L. Jackson/Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos/Keller provided a much needed shot of character in this characterless film.

This film was a 0 for me, giving it a 2 because the supporting cast carry the movie and nothing with Jackson and Mendelsohn in it should get a 0.… Expand

Alas, it was neither a good film in its own right, nor was it a good addition to the MCU, which is unfortunate to say the least. The acting was bland, Larson, in my view, having been badly miscast, with many people saying that Emily Blunt could have made a better Captain Marvel. The story was the definition of a superhero blueprint. Goose and Jackson were probably my favorite things about this movie, which says a lot. Then, there is the issue of the existence of this film in the first place - if they really wanted a 'strong female lead' (with which, as a woman, I already have an issue), they should have filmed a Scarlet Witch, or even better, a Black Widow origin story... Cap Marvel is an obscure and rather disliked character (as can be seen by the number of time her runs were cancelled) who does not deserve to sweep in and save the day in Endgame. I will be deeply hurt and disappointed if this will be the case - an overpowered nobody, who was never a part of the original well-loved team, to play as a sort of 'deus ex machina' in the final movie. The marketing for the movie did not help either, but this is a review of the movie, and not the scum tactics employed by the advertisers. Hence, as much as it saddens me, I cannot in good conscience give this movie more than a 3, due to its lack of originality, bad casting, underwhelming script (seeing as the writers have done well in the indie film department prior to the making of this movie), as well as the late introduction of a new character (into the cinematic universe, that is - I am well aware of the role played by Cap M. in the comics) into a beloved series.… Expand

The story is generic, the plot is pretty predictable, and the comedy falls flat and here are the reasons. Brie Larson tries to copy Tony Stark, Peter Quill and Dr. Strange to make quips. While they are supported by excellent timing and proper hilarious facial expressions, Larson delivers it with this sort of monotone voice and “bored” facial expression, and that’s why it didn’t connect to us. The CGI in this movie is pretty standard for a Marvel movie, but sometimes it goes berserk. The action scenes on the ground are pretty ok, but the battles in outer space looks like a cutscene from a PS3 game.

Ben Mendelsohn and Samuel L. Jackson both gave stellar performances. Seeing Jackson’s cheerful attitude before being a tough and rough character seen in Iron Man and beyond is hard at first, but gradually accepted. Goose the alien cat absolutely steals the show and the limelight from Captain Marvel herself (How does that happen though… it’s a damn cat?).

The social justice theme dampen the movie’s story. It’s as if the story is built around the premise of “she’s a woman”, as in, the focus is the gender, not the story and character building itself, and that’s really disappointing, since if only the focus is on character building with social justice being inserted subtly it would work well and bring forth the message to empower women of all ages and races.

All in all, you do not see this movie for its connection with the upcoming Avengers: Endgame, but if you still want to see it be my guess. I do not recommend it, though.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was riddled with retcons and a bunch of nauseating jokes the writing was terrible and poor musical score. 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

But with Captain Marvel it feels we've gone back five years. The movie revolves around a protagonist that I just cannot root for because Captain Marvel is so pompous and overbearing in everything she does, it's like she was trying to be Tony Stark without any of the intelligence and achievements to back up all the smug. All her powers felt so undeserving, she's not powerful because she worked for it or believed in the good of the universe, she just got it just cause. So with a flat character arc the movie plot itself then becomes flat as none of the villains matter. Which sucks because Ben Mendelsohn seemed to have really tried and was good as he usually is in most his movies. The de-aging on Samuel L. Jackson was pretty good as well as his performance, though not the Nick Fury we've known through the previous movies. The cat was cool except for *one part*. The special effects I'd say is pretty average compared to what movies can do nowadays, though after Alita: Battle Angel set a new bar, Captain Marvel's effects are nothing to boast about. Without an appealing main character and an underwhelming story, the movie truly was a bore and a waste of money and time. I'm still hyped for Endgame though.… Expand

Larson is merely copying RDJ's Tony Stark but without his flaws (as that would enrage the SJWs) and appeal. The de-aging tech was a bad idea for an entire film as it makes Jackson and Gregg look like wax models. The first 30 mins drag like hell and remind me of the pointless scenes in Green Lantern. The film is good in the middle as we find out more about Carol but is then let down by the biggest Mary Sue performance ever in the final act. Nothing even phases her which is horrendous character development. I feel that the writers and directors were thinking along the lines of John Wick or Die Hard in respect to a hero whom cannot be stopped and will persevere until they win, which is fine, but they still struggle at times, none of which was present in Captain Marvel. The feminist rhetoric was even more cringy than the SJW dialogue in Black Panther but at least he was likable and quite relatable (to say he's a king). Decent film all round but as a MCU mega fan who has watched every film on release and follow this franchise more than most, I find it to be a weak entry and the very worst origin film from the MCU. Oh and the Nick Fury eye scenario is the biggest kick in the teeth ever. They could have done literately anything to acknowledge that Easter egg but they did THAT. Fury, the badass MFer, lost his eye like that...

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

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

I did have faith that Marvel, despite this, could make itDue to all the controversy around Captain Marvel, the bad PR, the bigotry of Brie Larson, I was not going into this movie expecting it to be great, hell, I didn't expect it to be good. I did have faith that Marvel, despite this, could make it alright though, so I went in expecting it would get a 5, MAYBE a 6 out of 10. I was very disappointed.

Brie Larson never seemed to embody the character she was acting. When I watch Iron Man, I see Tony Stark and not RDJ. When I watch the Avengers I see Black Widow, not SJ. When I watched Captain Marvel I never saw Captain Marvel, it was always Brie Larson trying to act. She never once truly embodied her character.

And I am going to TRY to ignore all the changes made from the comic book version, as other movies have made changes as well (but none as much as this horrid movie).

But now I am going to get into spoiler territory.

To make matters worse, Captain Marvel was the closest thing to a Mary Sue that you can get without having a Mary Sue. Whenever there was a need for her to improve it never seemed like she struggled and got better, it seemed like she just powered up for no good reason. Oh, she needs more power, well now she can use al her power without the limiter! Oh, she is falling, potentially to her death? Now she can fly and do so pretty damn well.

Furthermore, the story just sucked. Anyone that watched Guardians of the Galaxy or Agents of SHIELD knows that the Kree are not good guys, so the whole "twist" that they aren't good guys was pointless. The plot was cliched as well, falling into the same old tropes without any originality. Furthermore, there were plot points that seemed to either make no sense or even contradict what we know from previous entries in the MCU.

And the whole backstory of hers where she was talked down to over and over again for being a girl was really forced and seemed entirely political, which really caused me to hate this movie even more, especially with some of Brie Larson's comments about white men.

When I saw the early access critics talking good about the movie (which all early access critics do, whether a movie is good or not) and focusing on the cat, I thought that was a joke, but no, the interactions with Fury and the cat were the only parts of the movie I truly can say I enjoyed.

So, acting was horrible, plot was cliched and seemed to ignore the rest of the MCU, etc.

I can only give this movie, at best, 2.5/10, but since I have to round it I am choosing to round down to 2.

I am not surprised by the rumors of other Marvel actors being disappointed in Brie and Captain Marvel, and my only hope is that there is enough time before Endgame to ensure that the movie is not ruined by this awful entry.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a die-hard MCU fan I was very hyped for this movie and I was especially interested in how they would interpret such an important character on the big screen. Sadly, Captain Marvel was a huge, HUGE disappointment and pales in comparison to even the worst previous installations of the MCU films.

The glaringly obvious issue throughout the entire movie is that the lead actress woefully lacks any emotional response to the world around her and as a result her character is 2 dimensional and bland at best. I think Larson was great in "Room" but for some reason she failed miserably in this role, perhaps she's not "superhero material". The villain was also exceptionally boring, and very under powered. Any Marvel fan knows that the villain would not pose any threat to one of the strongest beings in the MCU, which highlights the weak script and disappointing story.

The musical score has always been integral to superhero movies and is often what makes me connect with the movie more than anything. Hans Zimmers work in Snyders Man of Steel and Nolans Batman Trilogy stands out as prime examples of musical perfection in superhero movies. Sadly, the film score in Captain Marvel is forgettable and underwhelming, and I find myself struggling to remember even the title soundtrack just 2 hours after watching the movie.

I would be dismiss if I didn't mention that the script has a certain unpopular ideology written all over it and after leaving the cinema I was left with the impression that this movie was not made by people who understand and love Marvel, but by someone who is pushing an agenda. I hesitate to drag gender politics into my review, but it had to be mentioned as it's so prevalent in the film and we've all seen the concerning comments made by the main cast and crew. That's enough about that.

As to be expected the CGI is great, which is one of the few redeeming qualities of this film, but does not even come close to making up for the previously mentioned sins.

In summary:

The story is weak and the casting failed miserably. The soundtrack was forgettable and the lazily injected gender-politics fell flat on it's face.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie **** on comic book fans like me. Time and time again they use us to build something, and then use that influence to **** on us with this feminist garbage.

After Talos captures Vers, in the flashback scenes, it was made clear that this is a feminist garbage propaganda. All the males in her life trying to keep her down... this is the message... to not let her even try, even though it is clear that she is failing again and again, when she is hurting herself while crashing a cart, when she is failing in the military training because her body is weak etc etc. These scenes and others are put there purposefully, not to give us the backstory of this character, but to set us up for the garbage low IQ feminist propaganda that they will push in the later parts of the movie. And the fact is, that its not the feminist message in itself, but that it is done in an unintelligent manner, very low IQ, very rude I would say. It was like those scenes were written by a teenager who can't give them depth, or complexity for that matter. It feels cold, unempathetic.

Another big aspect where the feminist garbage propaganda comes out is in the multiple scenes where the character doesn't obey to the direct orders from her superiors. The thing again is not the disobeying, because Captain America does that too, frequently.... The thing is that in the Captain Marvel movie there is no backstory, no real motivation for doing that. (Capt America, on the other hand, has a very well explained reason and philosophy for going against the orders.) We should just take it for granted, that the character feels that way... and swallow it because she is empowering herself. End of discussion. Feels stupid. And the audience is left with the impression that she is just arrogant.

This same aura of cockiness and arrogance follows the character during all the movie, and especially during her time with Furry.

Some might argue that the actress is bad, and cant deliver the role well. Well I agree.For example the scene with the security guard after she lands on Earth, just falls flat. It is supposed to be a funny scene, but in my modest opinion, it just falls flat.

But the biggest issue I have with this movie, is how they explained the "Avengers initiative" name. My blood boiled in that moment. I will never accept it. ****ing this way on the First Avenger is unforgivable. Captain America is an icon. Captain Marvel just a feminist tryhard garbage that is being pushed hard and fails again and again.

The only thing that saves the movie is its budget ( nice effects and fight scenes) and the fact that it is set in the larger Marvel cinematic universe… Expand

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)

But I was actually decently entertained during the first and second acts. As soon as the "I'm a girl" fight scene started in act three though, I literally facepalmed. The movie went right off the cliff from there.

I blame three factors for the way the movie turned out.

First, Brie was wrong for the role. She's supposed to be playing a character who has trouble controlling her emotions, but at no time during the movie do we see her lose control. She only oscillates between placid and haughty. At least she smiles sometimes, and cracks jokes, which is something we really didn't see in the trailer. But she never disappears into her character in the way that Jackson, Mendelsohn, or especially Lashana Lynch do.

Second, this film version of Captain Marvel is flawed in her characterization. I actually like a few of the recent comic versions of her, but the character's flaws in those are BOTH her lack of emotional control and her over-confidence. The lack of emotional control never really appears, and while the over-confidence is in this film in spades, Captain Marvel never once pays a price for it. Instead it's treated like a virtue. That's not how heroes act.

In fact, there are at least 3 times that she is self-centered to the point of being completely unlikeable. During one key scene she fist-blasts someone who's not actually a physical threat (just put down his weapon), but who is just annoying her with what he says. That's not what heroes do.

Third, the script is weak. Captain Marvel can beam-punch-fly her way right through thickly armored alien battle-cruisers, but nobody else that she (or anyone else) zaps seems to have much trouble getting up afterward. Nick Fury is relegated to a comic side-kick role that demeans the character. The cat steals the show. The main twist reminds me way too much of "Solo: A Star Wars Story". The aliens who've never been to earth know what "Jazz Hands" are.

And the jokes... My theater was 3/4 full, and the whole audience was enjoying the humor for about the first half of the film. But as we entered that third act, Captain Marvel had become so unlikeable, and the humor was so misplaced, that only two people up front were still laughing.

And when we finally see Captain Marvel respond to Fury's pager? What would you expect her emotional state to be? Worry? Sorrow, maybe? Devastated? Nope. She's full on angry-face in a room full of traumatized avengers. The contrast between her and them could not have been more unbecoming, and I am NOT looking forward to whatever selfish part she plays in End Game as a result.… Expand

The introduction of the most powerful hero has the same character development and depth of the pizza delivery person in your favorite private movie. Disney played the Michael Bay card of a linear predictable action flick to appease an audience that just wants action without story. If you have any interest in the MCU then this is an awful way to introduce this character and spits in the face of Stan Lee’s vision that “I just tried to write characters who are human beings who also have superpowers”. This character lacks anything that it means to be human. We all sufferer from inadequacies in many manifestations but Larson just stumbles emotionlessly through this movie as she was sponsored by Prozac.… Expand

Please endgame don't be this bad. This movie is pretty much Marvel's green latern. Nick Fury was the saving grace.

Captain Marvel is Bland.
Captain Marvel is what i have expected it to be, just another Generic Superhero Movie and an Average Marvel Movie, no not Average, more likely the new Thor: The Dark World.

Captain Marvel is what i have expected it to be, just another Generic Superhero Movie and an Average Marvel Movie, no not Average, more likely the new Thor: The Dark World.
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.

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

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

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

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

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

honestly the worst marvel movie, story was garbage; nick fury loses his eye is just cheap writing. seems to be an after thought. Brie Larson's acting just awful worst than the star wars prequels, she doesn't show any emotions. RBF

The beginning of the movie was all over the place no real focus. She didn't have a hero arc to learn her powers and someone you can root for. She was just given her powers at peek performance instead of earning them. On top of that thereThe beginning of the movie was all over the place no real focus.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ojito que van spoilers...
Bien, a lo que nos toca. Desde hace ya algunos días he venido escuchando y leyendo críticas de esta película, no quería creerlas pero tenían razón. La película es demasiado genérica, creo que la aparición de Collson fue lo único que realmente me llamó la atención y el homenaje a Stan fue lo unico que me gustó.
Yo no sé mucho del universo marvel; pero que los skrulls solo buscasen ser rescatados me pareció demasiado predecible, no me presenta algo que me mantenga al borde de la silla. Vamos, realmente solo quería saber como perdió el ojo Fury y hasta eso fue absurdo, en películas anteriores el dijo: La última vez que confié en alguien, perdí un ojo. Supuse que Carol, El Skrull (no recuerdo el nombre) o alguien cercano lo haría, jamás de los jamases pensé que sería el gato, y jugando al final de la película; eso fue un insulto muy grande. En fin, no deja nada establecido para End Game ni es relevante, supongo planean una secuela luchando contra los Kree pero me presenta la duda de como será. Se presenta a Ronan como el lider Kree y los guardianes ya lo vencieron, entonces no logro ubicar en que momento es que Carol va a luchar contra él sin presentar un problema argumental con las películas de los guardianes.
En aspecto técnicos no es mala; pero no destaca ni es visualmente atractiva. Concluyo, no es buena, si la van a ver que sea en DVD o en día de descuento porque no es ni relevante ni lo suficientemente entretenida como para un plan de fin de semana en pareja ni con los niños.… Expand
