There is nothing “super” about transgender flat butt Brie Larson playing a hero which I’m sure the LGBTQ community loves, but unfortunately she has the charisma of a penguin. Maybe if this was a battle between Thanos’ chin and Captain Marvel’s Beluga whale forehead, then I could see it. It’s sad they needed a “butt double” for Captain Marvel, Black Widow didn’t need a “butt double”. We expect Captain Marvel to save the world, but it’s too much to ask her to do squats? Gimmie a break. Thor took the full force of a star to forge Stormbreaker... I doubt this Mary Sue can top that. Expand

It's not a bad movie, but not as good as other marvel movies. Bad reviews almost discouraged me to go but i watched it anyway. It's true that everyone said nothing marvel about captain marvel. Overall the movie is just OK and enjoyable.

Come on guys be more fair with your critics giving 0 is not accurate, I'm not defending Captain Marvel either, I don't know what Kevin Faige was thinking. Now EndGame and the 10 years of the MCU seem to be trashed. Where was Captain Marvel during the 10 years? You don't just introduce a new character and portray it as the Strongest Avenger bla bla bla. The way Nick Fury lost his eye is so stupid then he acts like nothing happened like if losing an eye now days is normal, Chesse

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very disappointing.... the story is completely different from its source material. MARVEL, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!? The gags and tweaks are lame. The movie takes too long to get interesting as well.
Additionally, the suit is unfortunately NOT comic accurate - except the colours. Why marvel can’t just translate the design of the suits from comics in real life action - it’s not complicated, right?

Ok, so judging the Movie just by the movie, I have to say, that I really dug it. This doensnt mean, that there are no flaws. What didn't quite work was:
- The Character of Carol Danvers didn't feel quite right to me, but i won't judge if it's because of the Script or Bries acting. Just Bries Appearance in the mid-credit Scene felt totally different and i trust the Russos to flesh out the Character in different ways
- Some weird Song choices (But didnt really bother me)
- Some Moments didnt work (one especially)
But thats it for me. I went out having a great time.
I think the character will become better with more Movies, like Thor and Cap whose Origin Movies werent great also.
Also for the Score, i wanted to give it 7,5/10, but it feels more like a 8 than a 7

As a fan of Marvel in general and as a person who has enjoyed Infinity War greatly, I do not understand how in the span of a year you go from a spectacle as great as A:IW to this. I seriously hope the rumors that Brie Larson will be the new face of Marvel are not true and that her swooping in to save the day in Endgame is an exaggeration. Expand

She was the perfect choice asI'd actually been looking forward to this film for years, especially once I found out that Brie Larson (my absolute favorite actress working today) was cast in the titular role, and man, she did not disappoint! She was the perfect choice as far as I'm concerned, as she brought just the right emotion, confidence, wits, and so much more to the character! Her powers and origin story are beyond impressive, and I found myself cheering for her from start to finish! Some other returning MCU characters, such as Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson, etc. also made this all the more fun to watch. Furthermore, there's something here for just about everybody to enjoy, but 90s kids such as myself ought to really appreciate the soundtrack and references from the era throughout! Overall, this is undoubtedly another solid entry in the MCU, and more than lives up to the expectations it had with being the first female-lead MCU film thanks to the light-hearted and humorous fun we've come to expect from most MCU films, but most of all thanks to Brie Larson's all-around awesome performance and charisma!

It feels like a long episode made for a TV show, and apart from the last fight scene looks very cheap throughout. The dialogue and delivery is dull and flat, and the pacing is off. Brie Larson was miscast as she brings nothing to the character and was very wooden and un-likeable. The character of Captain Marvel has no complexity or depth, she has no flaws, no weaknesses and is supposedly stronger than anyone else in the MCU, so doesn't have any character progression or anything to overcome, making her bland an nothing about her relate-able that you can get behind or route for, and frankly one dimensional and boring. Did Marvel suddenly forget all the things that makes a character great, and interesting? Overall a very boring and uninteresting film that seems rushed and shoe horned into the MCU, and the first uninteresting and pointless character added to the roster. Sam Jackson was great, but even he couldn't save this movie. Totally unnecessary film, I'd skip this one as its just not worth it. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Problems with the movie, not necessarily in order. 1. Nick Fury's character is too complacent/sophomoric for someone who is supposed to be a "former Full Bird Colonel." 2. Brie Larson took acting for this movie way too seriously. It comes across in a cliche such as the 60's batman t.v. series with the dramatic "wham!" and "bam!" thought bubbles when actions took place. 3. Definitely political undertones when discussing the roll of the Scroll people in the movie. 4. Huge Air Force public relations boost in the movie. Borders on puff piece. 5. A tinge of the male actors being overly cocky/superior and the females being the smart, "adults in the room." Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After seeing all the controversy and all the politics for the last few months, I tried to see this movie with an open mind. I walked in to watch a Marvel movie and walked out with a "Meh" on my mind. For an origin movie, it was not bad. It was not good, but not bad. The liberties taken with the source material is usual in the case of the MCU, but the changes that were made stuck with an agenda I was uncomfortable experiencing as it was nagging in my mind. It was a similar feeling when I actually saw Ghostbusters 2016 in the cheap seats with family.

Things I Loved: Stan Lee's cameo and tribute at the Marvel Title Crawl and Nick Fury.

Things I Liked: The Blockbuster/Radio Shack/Street Fighter references, Phil Coulson, Talos, and seeing Korath and Ronan from Guardians of the Galaxy being played by the same actor for continuity. Things I Liked at the Start and Groaned Later At: Goose the "Cat", the plot and its "twist".

Things I Disliked: The action scenes, Fury not fighting in the final act, bringing the Tesseract into this story, all the flashbacks referring to Carol being talked down by men all her life (I understand that the time frame makes sense for that mindset, but it felt forced and I felt like the visuals could have worked without the men voice-overs of telling her she "didn't belong"), Carol Danvers' power level (over 9000?) at the end as it will affect the MCU as a whole in Avengers Endgame and the future phases.

Things I Hated: Fury's eye loss, Ronan's retreat at the end due to losing a ship and a single load of missiles, not enough Coulson (that's the fan boy talking), the trashing of Mar-Vell as a character as a whole.

Overall, the cast was mixed. Samuel L Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn do take the cake in this movie. Brie Larson did express emotion, despite what others may have said, but she was still a very wooden character and I didn't really root for her at the end like I did with other female characters in the MCU and even DC (Wonder Woman was a superior film, sorry Marvel). The action was okay yet forgettable and I didn't like Fury taking a side-step in the third act. My biggest pet peeve was Mar-Vell. Mar-Vell's gender swap did bother me, despite the fact I didn't bat too much of an eye in Doctor Strange's Ancient One. If it doesn't affect the story, fine. However, Mar-Vell did have a working relationship and sometimes (in recent iterations) a romantic one as well. It could have worked. We have seen men characters rising up due to a romantic interest be in trouble or dying. It could have been done in reverse just as easily here. It didn't, however, and Carol just worked for her on a military project. That was it. Mar-Vell was basically a throwaway character and reversed in gender due to the agenda since I assume they didn't want Carol to get her powers (albeit by accident as per normal canon means) from a man as it would remove all the flashback and current patriarchal society she is trying to defeat. Mar-Vell is here only to show up in the flashbacks, explain a plot point, and having the Supreme Intelligence take her form. I would have accepted and believed more Maria Rambeau being represented as the Supreme Intelligence or even Rambeau's daughter. But we didn't get much screen time with Mar-Vell and we just see three separate sections about her. One was her saying two sentences or so. Two, explaining that the engine would end wars. Three, her death and final words to Carol Danvers. Captain Mar-Vell was a warrior and had empathy towards humanity and had a strong history in the Marvel Multiverse. This was a character assassination for an agenda.

I feel like this was a lazy effort. We had Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and now the Wasp as strong women, as well as newcomers Okoye, Nakia, and even Shuri from Black Panther/Infinity War. Black Widow and Scarlet Witch should have taken the lead with a stand alone movie. Instead, I fear these previous women characters will take the backseat when Carol Danvers will take over the MCU without properly earning it. They even had Carol Danvers' call-sign in the Air Force "Avenger"! I don't like the direction the MCU is taking despite how well Avengers Infinity War took the entire Cinematic Universe to an incredible level. I just hope Endgame and the rest of the MCU from hereon does not suffer a crippling blow due to this movie.

Also, you might have noticed I did not connect Captain Marvel with Carol Danvers, calling her specifically by her name only. I really don't think she earned that title based on how bad they treated Mar-Vell and how she never earned her extreme power properly (like Rey in Star Wars). Maybe she will later, but if this movie is any indication, I'm not holding my breath.

The main problem with the movie is the actress they chose to represent Captain marvel. She is so expressionless, and bland, Her face is almost always BLANK, you feel like she is reading off a script. The main focus of this movie is Nick Fury, Samuel L jackson, who ofcourse, is a much better actor than the main hero. Sadly the movie focuses too much on her, and this leads me to give a bad score. If this was a Nick Fury movie it would be a 6. But since it is Captain Marvel, and Captain Marvel is Bland and Mediocre. Totally out of element for the MCU. Brie Larson does not belong in the MCU, the skills of Other actors will outshine her in Endgame, i hope they kill off captain marvel in the start of Avengers Endgame.

This movie is much better than all these reviews and ratings portray. Just because Captain Marvel isn't Iron Man or Captain America doesn't mean you have to hate every detail about her; overpowered; bad acting; too fast paced; blah blah blah. Ok, there may have been a few cringeworthy and cliche moments, but the movie overall was quite funny and went along with a pace would expect from a superhero film. Stop disrespecting Brie Larson, she is a great actress and her perfomance as Captain Marvel was great. Everyone is saying how she was expressionless; just remember Tony Stark was a cocky **** and the first two Thor movies were quite average. Samuel L. Jackson, yet again, played Nick Fury extremely well and entertainingly and don't get me started on the cat (dope af). Despite the fact that he ruined Dumbledore for me in the Fantastic Beasts second movie, Jude Law made for an awesome villain. The action was incredible and the plot line was steady and made sense, despite what people say. Marvel managed to link this movie very well with Infinity War and have left us in suspense for the events that will occur in Endgame. I loved this movie and would recommend it as a MCU fanboy. 9/10 Expand

Now, let's get to this movie. Why does it deserve a low rating? Aside from bad acting, a bland story, a over propped up cat that upstaged Brie Larson, and the well known feminist SJW (Admitted by the director and star) with the illegal immigration politics forced down your throat. This movie craps on Nick Fury, the Avengers, and everything about the Marvel movies that it has been the last decade. It is the most entitled crap movie I have seen. "I am most almighty power because I JUST AM! I have ascended to Godhood."

Plus, this movie has annoying and unhealthy demonetization of white men clearly in the film as she is battling the patriarchy of the disillusioned feminist. Obviously, what Brie has said against white men is of no coincidence. Her racism against whites is apparent.

Stop making Mary Sues of these characters. Nobody wants to watch Mary Sues. They are the least interesting characters and worst story plots. This movie puts the political agenda upfront first above story telling.

Brie Larson's acting is like someone watching a Kristen Stewart movie with her and asks, "man, I wonder if there can a person with less emotions then this girl." Brie Larson responds, "Hold my beer!"

I forgot to check the only thing worth watching. What the hell did they title the butt double in the credits and who was she? Miranda Lawson, is that you? Oh, wait... It wasn't that impressive.

Goose was overly praised by the critics who made him the only good sounding thing about this movie. He was more meh than anything. He was not that amazing. I don't know how these people thought he was that great unless you just think "awe kitty!"

None of this ties into the movie Endgame. It just introduces Captain Plank Face to taint Marvel and the Avengers. The ending credit scene is dumb meow. Nothing of significance.

You torment yourself of boredom through the movie and never get a reward for it. You paid to be subjected to feminist propaganda for the next 2 hour of a boredom trip that you just want to end or get your money back, but you can't because you have one of those friends who have to watch it to the end... At some point, you wonder if it is possible to slip and break your neck to get out of this film. It is a bad movie.

I also don't understand how these people are max reviewing it with "It is not the best film, and it had a lot of problems. It could have been much better, but it was alright" *Max Positive Review* What the hell is that shilling crap? So much fake! Well, here is one more MAJOR dislike.

I'm really worried about Endgame after watching this film

Just watched this film this morning and i really regret watching this in theatre.
Let's start with good things :
- First opening action scene is really good
- Nick Fury was good and funny
- Sounds and visuals are good obviously coming from Marvel

Aaand everything else just falls flat to the ground i think Brie Larson here is terribly miscast she is really good in a slow dramatic movies but here it just doesn't work always stone faced even the smiles seemed very fake and cringe , director of this movie tried so hard to push this female power feminist ideas that she forgot to make a good movie in the first place.

The weirdest scene is when she all of a sudden starts flying out of nowhere and she is not even excited or surprised it felt so weird , also they overpowered her so much to the point where it seemed unrealistic to me that this irrelevant character is stronger than thor or hulk and all this came from a jet engine blast too what a joke.

Overall very disappointed in this film i would give 2 out of 10 to this film and for the sake of Nick Fury i give 3 i really hope Endgame is better than this .

I cannot say that the movie was impressive on any level. From the main protagonist 'unlocking' her powers to the unfunny comedy sprinkled throughout left a bad taste in my mouth. It didn't feel like a true marvel movie, even with Samuel L Jackson's cameos he couldn't save this scrap-heap. Overall quality was lackluster, and felt like another Marry Sue movie akin to The Force Awakens. I still give it a 2/10 for the action scenes... Looking for a movie with a strong female protagonist done right? Watch Wonder Woman.

A better alternative would be someone like Robin Wright. Having said that, the action scenes and special effects provide some minutes of entertainment. Nick Fury's "de-aging" was flawless and I didn't get any uncanny valley feeling, unlike Princess Leia in TLJ.

Unfortunately, considering the movie's overall mediocrity, I felt it went on for way too long, and left extremely disappointed. The final act was especially jarring.

The choppiness of the first half left me disappointed, but once the film took off it was an exhilirating and enjoyable ride. Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, truly made the heart of the movie. This wasn't a typical superhero origin film where the title character learns to grow into a new version of herself, but rather has to come back to her roots and discover what made her a hero in the first place. Her cool and calm demeanor was refreshing, while her more soft and humorous moments showed Carol's complexity and Brie's talent. With Carol Danvers in the lead, other parts of the film that were lacking were much easier to overlook. Other characters such as Fury and Rambeau also did a fantastic job at supporting the main character while being strong on their own. Overall, the film did not meet my high expectations for being released this late in the MCU, but the bold and inspiring title character and a strong second half won me over. Expand

Scarlet Witch had to see the error of her ways that revenge was not the solution. These "heroes" became larger than life because they inspire us to better OURSELVES and not to overpower other people. This movie doesn't benefit the story that took 10 years to make and I certainly think that MCU didn't just took 10 years laying the groundwork and foundation just to put this new character above all the other characters that has earned our respect through all this time.

If anyone said a similar remark of hating black people, there would be a massive uproar but it’s ok when it’s agaisnt white people. Except no it’s not ok. The movie itself is just racist sexist propaganda. Everything including saying how men are telling Brie to smile more. Nobody cares about angry lonely miserable feminists. They aren’t going to tell them to smile. They are going to avoid them. Also how you made Nick Fury loss his eye does not make any sense with the canon of this entire franchise. Furthermore it’s a slap in the face and a huge insult to the fans. Even the fellow Marvel cast who have been very vocal about their dislike of Trump, are against Brie Larson. You’ve really messed up when you’ve gone too far even for them. The fighting is bad. The story garbage. There’s no real villain. Oh yeah and she’s the biggest Mary Sue in the universe that’s essentially perfect at everything Expand

The most I fear from this movie is that it will taint so many other established Marvel Heroes I've enjoyed for many years as Larson doesn't seem to have that team element the others do.

This is byCaptain Marvel is the real villain of this movie. In the course of the film, she turns from a character who is trying to learn to control her own strength, into a character who do what she wants without paying attention to others. This is by definition a villain, and if in future projects she would be a villain, then I don’t have problems with it. But we all know how she is positioned in the universe. For now she is nobody without the suit.
The script is very ragged, and in my opinion it would be better to make a film fully devoted to 6 years in Starforce. After the movie I can't even remember the names of the Starforce, and really want more of them. The story is the weakest thing in the film, and the avengers will have to work very hard to fix this character.
Brie Larson is fine. Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, the cat and the other support cast are great, but there is too little to do for them in this movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having never heard of Captain Marvel aside from the original Shazam TV show, I went into CM with an open mind. I’ve been a loyal Marvel comic collector since I can remember. Other film incarnations from the Marvel universe have had their idiosyncrasies yet were still enjoyable overall. The acting of the lead playing “Captain Marvel” was lifeless. I’m not sure why the director/writers weren’t able to reach her. Encourage somehow her to demonstrate some semblance of a personality? It’s not like she was playing a Terminator! I was happy to see Stan Lee’s last cameo appearance as it was worth at least half a point to see him. I don’t want to spoil it for those who have not seen it but the way Nick Fury loses his eye is not believable whatsoever. I could not wait to escape the theater. Even the people I was with that wanted to see it finally admitted that it sucked. (Mainly because of the Captain Marvel character’s WHACK-TING) I really hope that Disney leaves Captain Marvel out of any future storylines as it is a detour from Marvel Comic’s future potential greatness. If you must see this movie because somebody in your life is blackmailing you, or you lose a bet or something, make sure you procure a designated driver. Watch it with beer goggles it will soften the blow. The other half a point am generously donating to this review is for the drinks they served at the theater. Unrelated I know, but the alcohol made me do it. Every time you hear “I got this” you’ve got to take a “shot this” Expand

Terrible movie. Bland characters and scenario, very boring to watch except for the last few scenes. I don't care about all the feminist drama, it's just one of the worst marvel movie i've seen.

I wanted to like this movie expecting something aggressively average... I was disappointed. I'll give this movie a 2.0 hopefully the all female Avengers will be better than this.

First, there's Brie Larson, who is simply not right for this role. She's bland, dull-looking and dull acting. Maybe she has potential, but the script doesn't allow her to realize it. Look up "Mary Sue" and you'll know why she has no compelling character development. The biggest problem, however, is that Brie Larson/Captain Marvel is being set up to infect the Avengers Endgame. This movie sucked out all the excitement I had for Endgame. Like this disappointment of a movie, I'll still go see Endgame, but my expectations are now set way lower. Bottom line is that I'd recommend you wait for Captain Marvel to come to the streaming service of your choice. Expand

This movie can be Marvel's worst movie. This ends up turning on the warning light

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All Captain Marvel reveals:

1. Alien threat assessment tech will read a human male as “threat level: low to NONE”.

2. Don’t tell a lady to smile, or she will steal your bike: because it's 2019, sexism is like a hate crime, so telling a lady to smile is worse than theft.

3. Don’t call a woman “young lady”, even if she’s middle aged and it might seem like a compliment, because it’s offensive and she will shove it where the sun don’t shine, because it's 2019, and verbal sexism is on par with physical violence.

4. Choosing safety of your family, and your own personal safety (so you can remain a parent to your child) is setting a bad example for your child. Especially if you are a woman, because motherhood should be on the bottom of your priority list.

5. The Avengers are called “The Avengers” because Carol Denvers’ air-force call-sign was “Avenger”. You don’t need to know why. Just that she it makes her ‘the first avenger’, despite Captain America previously being called The First Avenger, because wahmen.

6. Nick Fury mis-spoke in Captain America 2: he lost his eye not because of “the last time I trusted SOMEONE”; it is “the last time I trusted SOMETHING”. Because it is revealed he lost an eye when he held a cat too close and it scratched his eye. Yes: no life changing lesson on betrayal, he lost his eye (and the lore behind it) because of a ****

7. Captain America 1, Guardians 1 were all wrong: first, the tesseract will not just burn a hole through terrestrial Earth materials, because you can just put it in a tin box and it’ll be fine. Second, even as a demi-god like Starlord, or an enchanced human like Red-Skull, humans can withstand power from an Infinity Gem, but only if you’re wahmen. But only an outspoken feminist wahmen: if you're not an outspoken feminist (even a semi-superhuman alien like Gamora) you will still disintegrate.

8. Captain Marvel can do ANYTHING. That's all you need to know going into Engame: she can fly, she can teleport, or if not teleport she can travel through time (otherwise she would break Einsteins law of relativity flying back from deep-space), and she can also act as an antenna booster because she received the pager in deep-space. (I should explain this a bit, a pager sends a message, but you need another pager to receive on the other end. Carol gave Fury's pager back to him, the one we saw in Inifinity War, and left Earth without a corresponding pager. So yeah, she basically became a super antenna and can intercept all forms of digital transmissions... I guess? Like seriously, feminist writing...lol).

Brie Larson may be a brilliant actress, but you'd never know it from this movie. She has to play a Mary Sue, so there's no compelling tension to her character. She's a total bore. Watching her character arc is like watching paint dry. With aBrie Larson may be a brilliant actress, but you'd never know it from this movie. She has to play a Mary Sue, so there's no compelling tension to her character. She's a total bore. Watching her character arc is like watching paint dry. With a few exceptions, Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) is the only real entertainment in the movie, but this movie isn't about Nick Fury. It's about how Captain Marvel is about to ruin Avengers: Endgame, more's the pity. Oh, and don't waste your time writing a review on Rotten Tomatoes. They are publishing some negative audience reviews, but they're filtering out a good percentage of them in order to keep the score from plummeting too low. For shame, RT. You are rotten. Expand

Sorry, I don't go to a movie to get SJW messages shoved in my face. It ruins the MCU. I fear that this will taint Avengers Endgame. If it does, I'm done with the MCU, which would be a terrible shame, since I've been a fan of Marvel ever since I was a child. Take your SJW elsewhere, Kevin Feige and Brie Larson. You're not welcome here. Expand

I really hoping the reviews where just politically motivated and I’m sure a lot are but this movie really falls short. Maybe a victim of “too much, too fast”? I should of picked the Madea flick, at least there would of been some emotion.

Captain Marvel failed primarily due to a lack of kryptonite. When a character is all powerful then the story becomes immaterial.

I enjoyed Larson`s portrayal of Captain Marvel and I`m excited for what she will bring to the MCU as a whole. Mid-Credit scene is almost worth price of admission alone. Loved it.

The movie had an emotionless protagonist, disjointed plot, and insignificant fight/battle scenes. I wanted to like CM but she showed no emotion at the end so it's difficult to relate to the protagonist.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie isn't very good. The character is forced. Marvel is better than this. The plot was thin, and changing mar-vel to a chick was not ideal. I Liked the tribute to Stan Lee, but was bored by the the movie. Expand

Captain Marvel is a average movie, nothing really stand out and nothing really bad, definitely nothing marvellous at all. It a decent stand alone movie but as the major key role of MCU next phrase this movie is a failure, lazy script, soulless acting and funny 10 years old logic, one the worst MCU introduction movie so far.

It’s a real shame that this film is targeted by organized, mentally troubled trolls. It’s a feel-good, fun, exciting superhero movie
