I'm just a girl by No Doubt in a fighting scene was just cringy. The political agenda was so prevalent. It was more about politics then the actual movie.

I don't expect much out of superhero movies generally speaking, but Captain Marvel manages to disappoint even such low expectations and Larson makes for one of the least likable actors I've ever seen in cinema.

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

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

And I can honestly say, the political issues surrounding Brie Larson aside, that this is not a good movie. It seemed very uninspired, Larson indeed seemed very wooden like a lot of the reviewers are saying, and almost completely devoid of personality or charisma. There were long stretches when we were both quite bored and when the action did kick in, it wasn't convincing. The movie as a whole seemed like it was trying too hard - and failing. The jokes fell flat; they seemed forced and too obvious. I haven't seen any of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's other work, and I've always respected Marvels ability to choose directors who haven't necessarily had big blockbuster experience but do have good artistic instincts...but in this case it didn't work. They should not be let near another marvel film, or any other big budget blockbuster probably.

As for the woke factor, while it was never very overtly crammed down your throat, I did still get the sense that this was targeted at a certain audience, young girls in particular. So Maybe Larson was right after all - middle aged white dudes need not attend.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t really hate this movie, I only hate films that completely bore me, this one doesn’t, and it just makes me mad. First off I have to preface by saying I’m not a marvel fan. I’ve seen a few Marvel films and I generally find them to be okay. I mean after all they are made to be as accessible as possible; they are films for everyone, meaning there are no specific elements that really stand out or shine in any way. Marvel movies are very much streamlined.
Now that that’s outta the way, let me get to the actual film. First of all this film is too action-heavy, it’s too much of a cg show; I would argue most of it could’ve been cut. In fact I think the first act should’ve been the big reveal that the Skrulls are allegedly not terrorists but are simply searching for a home from the presumably imperialist Kree. You might ask why the reveal? Well because this film is under developed and it could use a better structure. The moral quandary this film represents is very interesting, Carol (Captain Marvel) realizes that she was lied to by the Star Force and by extension Kree society, since the Kree hid her past from her and accuse the Skrulls of being galactic terrorists. she now is faced with a serious dilemma, she has been a member of the star force for half a decade, her initial loyalty lies with the Kree, she has been socialized and integrated into Kree Society to the point that she joined the military force of said society, but now she also knows that she was essentially kidnapped from her actual home and that the Kree are fighting for an unjust cause against the Skrulls. What does she do? Well it takes one cliché motivational speech from a friend, and 30 seconds of thought for her to completely flip sides. She then proceeds to fight her friends aggressively and without remorse, she destroys an entire Star Force fleet and probably kills hundreds of soldiers. Moreover hilariously unfitting 80s-90s pop is playing in the background. So I guess we are just to assume that the Skrulls are just considered terrorists for no reason, That the entire Star Force militia is bad and worthy of genocide? Well I don’t know if this movie understands this very well, there is no real world building or examination of propaganda that pushes anti-skrull sentiment; we just know that they’ve been “fighting a war for centuries”. This is a confused film, it fails to understand and explore its own themes, it claims to be a feminist film but it also says that a woman needs to gain un-fathomable super powers to overcome struggles, it’s a film with a political message about tolerance and anti-violence, and yet it basks in its expensive, ridiculous, and at times incompressible action and destruction. So what does this film offer to anyone who isn’t a marvel fan and has no deep interest in the over-arching lore of the MCU, probably just a headache and a lazy answer to an interesting question, note that I’m not saying these films need to appeal to non marvel fans, I’m saying that our Main character has flimsy principles at best, and at worst is a thoughtless murderer.… Expand

There have been three movies in the MCU, at least to me, that are lackluster at best and disappointingly bad at worst: “The Incredible Hulk”, “Iron Man 2” and “Thor: The Dark World”.

This is theThere have been three movies in the MCU, at least to me, that are lackluster at best and disappointingly bad at worst: “The Incredible Hulk”, “Iron Man 2” and “Thor: The Dark World”. Now you can add "Captain Marvel” to that list. This is the first MCU movie that I’ve seen that failed to deliver critically, in quite a while. However, there’s some good in this MCU film, as there is in the others. The supporting cast is downright phenomenal; the standouts being Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn and Goose the Cat. Jackson’s chemistry with Larson was surprising at times, there are a few chuckles and laughs here and there, the presentation set on Carol’s backstory was intriguing albeit for a short while, a few genuine surprises caught my eye and Stan Lee. Stan Lee’s always a win, god bless you for that beautiful tribute to him. But every other factor that made the later MCU films feel special is mind-numbingly absent here: the story knows what it wants to be but doesn’t set up a core plotline to follow, there’s no visual style to set it apart from other installments and no cohesive or hybrid tone set within the second and third act, the action sequences are entertaining but downright forgettable, there are some blatantly stupid retcons along the way and no matter how hard she tries, Brie Larson was mis-cast in this role in every possible way. Whether it was the direction, the script or by her choices, her acting could not get me 100% sold on her character and maybe the fact that she had to spew political garbage prior to the film’s release just made her performance all that more sour in my opinion. Your job is supposed to inspire people to put their butts in those seats to see your movie and instead you end up turning away literally half of the target audience. Now people don’t see you as a hero, Brie. You heart might’ve been in the right place but you shoved your head too far up your ass. Maybe if they casted Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron or even Jessica Rothe for that instance, I’d relate to Captain Marvel more.

I really don’t understand the mentality of these executives behind these film companies nowadays to push female empowerment down our throats. I get it, March is technically Woman’s History month, but we’ve had badass female leads like Sarah Conner, Laurie Strode and Ripley from the 70’s and 80’s but they worked out so well cause of the stories they were involved in and the fact that their femininity didn’t over-shadow everything else.....and some of these compelling feminist films that still exist today don’t push that narrative to disrespectful levels: Wonder Woman. Thelma and Louise. Persepolis. Wendy and Lucy. Mad Max: Fury Road. Hell, even Alita: Battle Angel managed to make it work. I’m not saying you can’t add politics in your movies but the main reason why we even go is to see intriguing storylines with intriguing characters so we can turn our brains off and have fun. Screw the agendas, screw the toxicity, screw the sex-shaming: just give me intriguing characters mixed with a cohesive story and I’m all good. You can have a political message in a movie and still have work out in the favor of the story but don’t jeopardize the quality of the product you’re putting out to the public to push an agenda that’s already drove away the fanbases of some of cinemas most popular franchises.

Is this film terrible? Not entirely, but it’s nowhere near as flawless as the critics are making it out to be. Is it the equivalent of Ghostbusters (2016) or The Last Jedi? In my opinion, not yet. Those films are much more offensive considering the backlash they received and how they practically killed their respective franchises. The MCU still has time to adapt and change into something truly remarkable but what they did here was just sad and I wouldn’t be surprised if we get another situation like The Last Jedi. Take this as a lesson, Marvel: we’ve been there for you for since the beginning and we have a month left before Endgame. I implore you: PLEASE don’t turn your back on us.… Expand

This movie is good but at the same time it is mediocre. I think it is not necessary to watch this movie to understand the "End game". Sometimes it's a bit of a feminist with no sense coming out of the context but it's not a very bad movie.

Yea, its an origin story, but so was Wonder Woman. I don't remember being this board watching that movie. Also, the acting was just awful. Brie Larson was a bad casting for this role. There are so many other female lead actresses I would have liked. Remember how kick ass Emily Blunt was in Edge of Tomorrow? She would have rocked the lead role in this movie because she has a tough girl edge to her. Brie Larson acts like a brat both in real life, and in this movie. Surely doesn't act like Marvel's strongest hero. The writing in this movie was just cookie cutter script. Nothing to keep you really interested. Some action towards the end, but no enough to warrant the price of admission. Lastly, and most troubling, is the constant social justice pandering this movie pushes on the audience. Captain Marvel came off as a political indoctrination of liberal focused ideology hidden throughout the script. I don't care what side of the political spectrum you follow, but when I pay for entertainment, I just want it neutral minded politically. It just left a bad taste to an already flawed movie. Wait and rent it.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sigh...Where to begin. I really held out hope for this movie going into it, despite all the political nonsense that's been surrounding it for the last couple weeks now. I've enjoyed most of the previous MCU movies and especially enjoyed infinity war, and with hopes of hints at what's to come next, I wen't to see Captain Marvel and was completely disappointed. First off, let me address the elephant in the room, the fact that this is a self proclaimed "feminism" movie. I wen't into the movie well aware of this, and really tried to ignore it and focus on enjoying the movie itself, but it winds up being at the core of many of the movies issues. Carol Danvers is a completely uninteresting, uncompelling, inhuman (emotionally and somewhat literally) brick of a character and it seems clear this is from the directors attempt to focus on making her a strong, independent woman. It's as if they thought the only way to make an empowering female role model of a character was to make her emotionless, indestructible, without flaw, and obscenely powerful. Oh, and make sure to only explain her character through the hateful men in her life.

Yes that's right, I'm not exaggerating that list bit at all. Despite this supposedly being an origin story, it doesn't feel like that at all. Carol's entire backstory is explained exclusively through flashbacks, nearly ALL of which are focused around how stereotypical, misogynistic men treat her like **** and tell her she's worthless and incapable of doing anything. As absurd as it all is, it doesn't even feel like a backstory in the first place. She starts the movie already indestructible and incredibly more powerful than anyone else, and then at some point towards the end of the movie, if you're still paying attention to the ridiculous flashbacks, one of the flashbacks switches from their standard hateful men moments and actually tells us something useful, that being how she got her powers. Then somehow the overpowered unstoppable force figures out how to become even more obscenely powerful? ::SPOILER::

The CGI fight scenes which are visually stunning are made far less interesting knowing that literally nothing bad can happen to Carol. At one point she flies head on into a barrage of massive incoming missles meant to destroy planets, blows them up in a second, then proceeds to fly through an armada of attacking space ships, blowing them up just by crashing through them and coming out the other end completely unfazed.

::END SPOILER::

TL;DR
Ultimately, the whole thing is just an overly drawn out bore. The main character is an emotionless brick. She's so unreasonably powerful that at no point do you feel concerned for her or interested in her cause (which never really becomes clear?). Despite having 2 hours to do something, the whole story just feels forced and leaves the audience scratching there heads trying to make sense of who Captain Marvel actually is. Oh, and apparently the only way to be a powerful woman is to have a bunch of hateful men in your life? This about sums up the entire movie.… Expand

Because he has potential, as seen in the middle and near the end. The story is actually also not very flat, there are some agendas that are trying to be tucked away, because that's how normal today's superhero films are; there is always an agenda insert that comments on our social circumstances and the like. This film can still entertain the audience; both ordinary viewers, children's audiences, and nerdy viewers like me. Rarely are there super hero stories whose main characters are girls, right? It's just that inner beauty is not digested enough, because the filmmaker did not dare to make his own voice. Just like they were assigned to make a film to introduce who Captain Marvel was to the last episode of Avengers, and they did it. Only that.

Came here because Rotten Tomatoes deleted my honest review: Captain Marvel has serious pacing and script problems, and Carol Danvers is an evident miscast - Brie Larson is not fit for the role at all - she may be good in other movies, but in this one is as it she never won an Oscar. Her acting is dull, stall, automatic and deprived of personality, which compared to the acting of the rest of the cast falls behind in a massive manner (the contrast is just too notable between acting skills). The movie has no character development and barely any character growth(she never really had a true hit rock bottom moment in which she stands again gaining strength from a mistake)....Carol Danvers is the same as when she started at the end. and barely has a plot which makes this a really slow film. I don’t know how the directors got the idea that we would like an emotionless invinsible and flawless woman deprived from humanity from the start to end to represent woman’s feelings. The story has barely humor, two of the famous jokes of the movie barely made a chuckle in the audience. The only good things about this movie, the rest of the cast including Samuel Jackson, Jude Law, Talos actor and Maria Ranbou kid performances are good.

In my country people always clap at the end of an MCU movie. This did not happen this time as people left with a sour and bitter taste.

3/10 aside from the pacing and script problems, MCU needs to recast Captain Marvel to someone who can act in a superhero movie in a way that people can relate and feel that in fact she is a hero. She is not a bad actress but her performance in this movie is a low blow to her acting history and career.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched it last night (luckily my theater reward system gave me a free ticket for a movie so no wasted money). Right from the get go, the initial scenes didn't really serve to draw me in. Much of the movie I spent wondering what was the point of X scene or Y scene etc. Sadly, I was also spending time watching the time to see if the movie was near its end. **POTENTIAL SPOILERS INC** The de-aging of Coulson and Sam L Jackson was pretty bad in my opinion. It wasn't good enough to sell it and in various scenes including Sam Jackson's action scene it just didn't look right. Brie Larson's fighter pilot friend was actually pretty good as I got a lot of her emotions and how she felt when she lost her friend (Brie), and her connection with her kid was great as well. Compare that to Brie's emotions/acting I was honestly unimpressed. For an Oscar winner she wasn't able to really sell me her character or convince me to care about her. In many scenes when she tried to crack jokes or have snarky comments it came off forced and unlike her (maybe a "I'm trying to be the new RDJ"). I'm all for powerful superheroes but in this entire movie she made short work of all her enemies without really much of a struggle at all and at the end Jude Law versus her was anti-climatic. I think MCU really had a misstep on this one and one of their biggest mistakes was trying to shoehorn a superhero right before endgame and the last mistake was casting Brie as Captain Marvel, she doesn't really fit the character. I would say you could easily tell she was an actress trying to play a superhero which didn't work at all. I would recommend skipping this one and going straight to EndGame. You can literally read spoilers online and save yourself 2+ hours and a movie ticket.… Expand

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

Special Effects are subpar for an MCU film.

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

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

And now I know why the critics hated Alita... because this boring **** come out after that, and Alita is much better than this... Alita with all the cgi face has more emotion in 1 min then Captain Marvel in the entire movie. So let's make a fast comparison between the two:
Critics said Alita has bad cgi, well Capitain Marvel cgi is 5times worse at least.
Critics said Alita script was weak, well Captain Marvel script is worse.
Critics said Alita story is **** Capitain Marvel story is broke...
Critics had problems with acting in Alita, Captain Marvel acting is just horrible, no emotions whatsoever.
So yeah, now I know why Alita got those reviews... because Disney wanted the exclusive right for the best female hero. But Marvel is the worst hero I ever saw so far. Wonder Women and Alita is the best female hero and Marvel can't even compare. I wanted to give it a 4-5 out of this, but after what they did with the damage control, I can't give this more than a 1.… 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.

Much of the acting felt forced and it almost seemed like they didn't want to be there, especially the actors portraying the overthetop misogynists; and those scenes were forced in for sure. Captain Marvel is the Marvel Comics leader in virtue signaling and all round SJW terrorist. Taking this character in her current incarnation to the big screen spells nothing but trouble as seen by the movie itself. Thank Stan that they didn't get as bad as the comics.

The pacing is pretty bad too. I sat there kinda scratching my head as to why many choices were made in where to go next. On top of that, the action sequences were very meh. We could chalk that up to Carol Manvers being made to be "The strongest character ever" in the MCU. Pretty sure regardless, Thanos could slap her around easily, and I'd pay to see that at this point. The Skrull/Kree war was a big deal in the comics, too bad it wasn't on the big screen. Yet another agenda being forced on the consumer.

Here's the deal, I want a fun movie. I want to be entertained when I go to the theater. I am fine with some things being changed from the comics to make the movie more digestible for the "normies". This is why I love all the other MCU movies. But this movie is just lazy and has no spark. I am scared for Avengers: Endgame now and might just tap out of the MCU altogether if they are really pushing for Captain Marvel to head the next 10 years.… Expand

I went into this film with such high expectations given that it's the final MCU film before the highly anticipated Avengers:Endgame, and the huge push it got from Avengers: Infinity War post credits scene, in addition to all the official newsI went into this film with such high expectations given that it's the final MCU film before the highly anticipated Avengers:Endgame, and the huge push it got from Avengers: Infinity War post credits scene, in addition to all the official news that suggested Captain Marvel is going to be the face of the MCU and arguably its most powerful character. You might say i'm not being fair for holding an origin movie to that tremendously high standard, well, for the reasons i listed above, this isn't your Captain America: The First Avenger or your Thor origin film, it's a completely different ball game. We were told that this character is a game changer therefore, I expect no less.

I thought the movie was really disappointing in every way imaginable, it was such a let down! Nothing worked for me here, the writing was bad for the most part (except the major plot twist in the movie), the lead character's performance was stoic, bland and monotonic that I never felt sold. Carol Danvers lacked depth, she had no heart or let me say; her heart wasn't in it. Samuel L Jackson was acting out of character, which really turned me off, that is NOT the Nick Fury we know from the MCU, had it been a different character I would have probably liked it, but not Nick.
There wasn't enough of the remaining cast to say anything about them (apart from Ben Mendelsohn's Talos perhaps the only highlight of this film, besides the plot twist, of course).
The pacing in the first half was awfully slow, and the plot wasn't all that fresh, it was originally supposed to focus on Carlo Danvers trying to find herself and her re-discover her past, but they show none of that. All they show is few, quick random flashbacks here and there.

I'm absolutely disappointed of how the "new face of the MCU" turned out to be.… Expand

A bit of a mixed bag really, this doesn't seem like an MCU film, the tone of it was out of whack, something reminiscent of Green Lantern but better. There seems to be some inconsistencies with the rest of the MCU films but will have to checkA bit of a mixed bag really, this doesn't seem like an MCU film, the tone of it was out of whack, something reminiscent of Green Lantern but better. There seems to be some inconsistencies with the rest of the MCU films but will have to check them out to confirm. I struggled to enjoy this film even the jokes were misplaced as evident by the rest of the cinema not engaging either. I love any fantasy, sci fi spectacle but this fell short and couldn't keep me engaged. I think Brie Larson was miss cast in this role, I know she's a great actor but I think she does better in more dramatic roles, she was totally unconvincing as Captain Marvel and I struggled to invest in the character. Carol's relationship with Maria was difficult to accept or believe, there seemed to be no chemistry or emotional investment between them. I think Charlize Theron would have made a better Captain Marvel, she has the stature and gravitas that is required to bring the character to life.

Sam l Jackson was great as Nick Fury but what is the MCU without him, he seems to carry most of the film for me. However, the digital de-ageing was a bit hit and miss, sometimes it looked good but at other times it didn't even look like him at all which took me out of the moment on a few occasions.

Ben Mendelsohn was another highlight, he played the antagonist beautifully with a great menacing quality, the depth and believability of his character showed in spades.

The CGI again was also hit and miss, for the most part it was OK, not great. At times it was like watching a well rendered cut scene for a AAA PC game and other times, cartoon like, as I mentioned earlier it reminded me of Green Lantern.

This film was marketed as a feminist film fighting sexism (and Aliens), did this reflect the sexism of the 90's? At the time I was at UNI studying "Social Theory and Communications", basically a liberal left viewpoint and a big part of the course involved media manipulation, prejudice, sexism and critical theory so I was quite sensitive to any form of sexism. This film was more like sexism from the 80's where the older generation were still living in the world influenced by the 50's and 60's and were still using the phrases like "Smile, it may never happen" or "Cheer up". In essence Carol throwing off the shackles of patriarchy actually belonged in that time as by the end of the 90's, in the UK at least, equality was ingrained into society so status, rights, and opportunities between the sexes was on a level playing field.… Expand

Seriously, how much mockery you can take on your beloved franchize till you're fed up? Disney is the EA of the movie world, as if destroying Star Wars wasn't enough...… Expand

Good visual effects and CGI, entertaining play of Samuel L. Jackson, not a boring movie overall.

Jackson, not a boring movie overall. But strange (wooden) play of Brie Larson, superficial plot that was kinda predictable, not enough justification for Captain Marvel be the most powerful being in MCU. The plot also seems simplified, because though the movie i caught myself wanting more depth to the drama, conflicts. Stuff is just to simple. Also I lack personality of main protagonist.… Expand

The 90s nostalgia was nice, the supporting cast did a reasonable job in spite of the lacklustre writing and I liked the cat; but Brie Larson's performance (if you can call it that) was wooden, emotionless and boring and she spent most of the movie looking bored herself; sort of how you imagine a terminator would look when there's nobody left to terminate. In fact, the Terminator franchise might have been a better choice for Brie.… Expand

Amateurish, unsophisticated and massively cringey. The film is completely lacking in gravitas, and substitutes it with dumb, wishful & twee grrl-power.

The film is completely lacking in gravitas, and substitutes it with dumb, wishful & twee grrl-power. Ruins decades-old characters for what comes across as a petulant, childish tantrum. Obviously the writers, directors and crew have no idea what good sci-fi is, or what good comics read like or good films, for that matter, and thus fail on every parameter they could have possibly failed on. The MCU was becoming, against all odds, an incredible franchise, well executed so far. This film throws all that hard work out the window, and drags it down into Kardashian-like inanity. A Forced, unrealistic plot, with obviously untrue girl-power tropes shoehorned in and all the legacy characters being thoroughly uncharacteristic in order to elevate this mediocre "hero". It comes across as little more than an indulgent parent entertaining a tantrum from an ill-behaved and untalented child. Stupid, "woke" people making stupid, "woke" things to justify their own stupidity, and making the rest of us endure it. Absolute garbage. I hope nobody involved with this twee atrocity is ever allowed anywhere near a film-set ever again.… Expand

Almost a thousand of reviews in a Facebook group (MovieHONEST LONG REVIEWS: You know, I’m normally a Marvel fan, but I have to give it a NO for this one. First of all, I was a little bit hesitant on whether I should watch the film or not. Almost a thousand of reviews in a Facebook group (Movie lovers) that I’m in said that they felt really disappointed after watching the film and put it as the least enjoyable movies created by marvel. However, since I was scared that i might not understand the Avengers-End game, I decided to give it a shot. And yeah, I’m quite disappointed and the reasons are just like the posted feedbacks from the group.. Firstly, I am also a woman and so do my friends, but we just think that it might have been better, if they recasted Captain Marvel. Brie is perfectly beautiful and we do really enjoy some of her previous films, but in this film, she is just not giving the strongest heroic vibe to the audience. Her acting isn’t that strong like Johansson or she’s not even as powerful, charismatic or bad ass as Wonder Woman or Harley Quinn. I felt like I have to build up all the excitement during the film by myself. Secondly, the plot is a little too plain. I mean, if she’s going to be the strongest of them all, why is she just simply looks like a plain unbeatable fly-able hero with flames. Just that ( I don’t know if it’s because of the plot or Brie, but the character is just strong because she‘s called Captain Marvel.) Thirdly, I know that the film wants to support feminism, but I also felt like some of the parts in the film tried to portray men as the bad rude people. To be honest, Captain Marvel is not that bad. I may still recommend it to some of my friends, but there were just some parts that some of the audiences including me agree that it might could have been better. Oh also, the cat is incredibly cool.… Expand

I feel like this movie would have done better 3-4 years ago with a different actress, instead of feeling crammed in to milk MCU fans right before Endgame. Pretty much only watched it because it's required viewing for Endgame. I was rather bored. Very dry for an origin story.… Expand

This was was a waste of time. We ended up walking out halfway through the movie it was too much to take in. This could have been better served as an episode of Agents of Shield. I wouldn't even watch this when it airs on TNT or FX

If the people behind this particular MCU film wanted to make an average superhero movie, they did okay. If they were trying to blaze a trail for justice, I’m not sure they succeeded.

If they were trying to blaze a trail for justice, I’m not sure they succeeded. It takes more than CGI and some predictably sexist lines directed at a female lead character to do that. Perhaps, however, the goal was simply to sell tickets. Marvel may very well succeed at that. For every person who is tired of the same old preachy agenda, there appear to be lots of people who are easily parted from their money at the slightest suggestion that a film or product carries the right message.… Expand

Didn't want to believe the negative press but, turns out it was 100% accurate. Nothing to do with Brie Larson or feminism though, it's just a boring movie. Over-powered characters rarely do well because they are REALLY hard to write for. "Punch, wham blast" stories just devolve into a tedious litany of increasingly daft action scenes which lift you out of the experience. Larson obviously made a conscious effort to express her character as someone on the autism spectrum which I don't think works here; needed a lighter touch. When a character is so powerful, it's important to project vulnerability (think Clark Kent in the context of the first Superman movie) and Larson's Marvel is just too "perfect". Hard to empathise with someone so one-dimensional and this comic character desperately needs empathy to stop her just being boring.

It's an okay "popcorn movie". I probably wouldn't change the channel if it was on TV but I won't buy the DVD/Google Play copy for this one.… Expand

If your a long time follower of Marvel and the hole syfy universe you'll regard this as sick joke. A character that's completely rushed even they had years to get right made no sense in the hole MCU? Why, just to force feed us agenda? Nobody wanted this movie. All the characters in the MCU were built up over years and now pushed aside for a Mary Sue??Too bad marvel didnt take notice on how a good movie like Gal Gadots portrayal of "Wonder Women" was made. A powerful female superhero lead role without the overly preaching SJW, Feminist political correctness BS. Please stick to making movies and leave out the politics..… Expand
