Please Disney. Please do not ruin the MCU with these poor quality films. Get better directors, better writers, better actors/actresses. This cookie cutter of a movie with it's daytime tv acting and production value WILL kill the MCU!!!

The main actor lacks any growth and emotion the entire movie. The funniest part involves a space cat. Retcons all over the place. Just a boring movie to watch. This ranks next to dark wold as probably the worst marvel movie in recent times.

The film is mediocre at best. The main character Capt. Marvel comes across as one dimensional with little emotional range and not a particularly likable. The first half of this film felt like a made for "TV" or direct to streaming movie. The second half was better with solid CGI action. One problem is that this superhero depiction was very over-powered. As such I was not very invested in the story as nothing was at stake for the character. Also the character had no internal conflicts or realistic seeming obstacles to overcome and really any weaknesses whatsoever. The result was a meh overall experience watching this in the theater. TLDR: Do not recommend, or wait for it to stream for free.… Expand

Way too political for my tastes and not like the other MCU movies. Seemed like feminist propaganda, rather than entertainment. The acting was horrible and the one Nick Fury scene was so stupid.

She arrives on earth and snarks her way through the rest of the film with little resistance and by the end she is unstoppable. Like a combination of all the avengers powers added together and multiplied x10.
Fury is a younger computer generated version and plays it for goofy laughs most of the time and there is a bit of M.I.B mixed into the film.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have become genuinely concerned with the film/Creative Industry. In short this title feels completely isolated and lost. This continuous flow of political pandering and playing it safe is hurting Marvel. A brand that has left us with a legacy of characters we have come to fall in love with; building a unique global relationship with the comic heroes. Jackson (Nick Fury) manages to retain any credibility bringing the notes of nostalgia with perfect delivery. Nevertheless the rest seems to fall short in a soulness and lifeless display making the audience feel very little for the cinematic experience and narrative. Unfortuntely my biggest fears were brought to fruition with CM's integration into 'Endgame'. This fundamentally feels like the wrong decision and further highlights the dissociation with the core audience. I would strongly advise others to save their wallets and keep their expectations low which is saddening to say. In summary the Disney affect is not always popular or positive. I hope the collosal void between the 'journalistic' perspective and those that fund these usually great experiences of escapism is duly noted.

- Weak Writing - Questionable Casting
- Choppy editing and jumps
- 3/10 is a fair analysis of this film… Expand

Brie Larson's performance was not very convincing for me. Her acting came across as pretty flat for the most part. It just felt like she acting rather than living the character. That may not be all her fault considering the lackluster script an uneven direction. Suffice to say, she does not fit this role, in my opinion. Sam Jackson was great. Everyone else did their numbers. Overall there was nothing in this movie that really grabbed me. Despite some laughs and chuckles, I felt nothing. There was no rousing moment like the "No Man's Land" scene from Wonder Woman. It was just a popcorn/filler movie leading up to Endgame.

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.

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

Unlike Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman whose character is expressive, caring, and inspiring, Brie Larson’s character is lifeless, seems to care only about how empowered she can show she is by not showing any emotion, and not only is not inspiring… but frankly is almost impossible to like. Often a character in a film will start out in a place where he/she is not perfect, but goes through a process of learning, experience, and development where by the end of the story they are a much wholer character. This is the human experience. And this is why we root for them, embrace them, and why we end up caring about them. Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel travels a straight-line character arch. As far as development she ends up exactly in the same place she started.
After viewing this I do need to see something inspiring for International Women’s Day.

A good aproximation to what Phase 4 may bring although the story stops more on world building that reiterates some ideas laid in the first Guardians of the Galaxy.

Not so much for the development of the character of Carol Danvers, the protagonist that appears to be the perfect soldier even if a little bit "explosive", a character with no good antagonist to match her, a character that can overtake any foes with a power that is not that well explained.… Expand

4. The editing seemed very slapped together.
5. Most of the dialog seem monitoned most of the time except for Fury and 1 or 2 others moments. 6. Most of the main characters and secondary characters were basic.
7. Not once did I ever feel like the Main character has in trouble or in danger of even losing something it was just OP story with no real point but to put in a character that's to OP for someone's reasons.

Carol Danvers is a character that has been around since 1977. I have accepted that super heroCaptain Marvel was a movie that had a ton of potential, but lost out due to a shortsighted script compared to what could have been. Let me explain.

Carol Danvers is a character that has been around since 1977. I have accepted that super hero movies have creative license. However, this is character that has various levels of impact in her long career. In the beginning she had involvement with Captain Mar-vel and became Ms. Marvel. This character would later lose her powers to Rouge (of the X-Men) and then evolve in the powerhouse Binary. This arc alone would have been amazing as a way to bring her in and would be a good arc to bring in the X-Men and potentially the Fantastic Four. This voyage could have been an amazing story of loss and evolution that would have climaxed into Captain Marvel. This would be something that with a shrewd writer could be something that could ellipse the source material and give depth to a character.

Instead of this possible option they crammed the Kree-Skrull war into one movie that was meant to be an origin movie for Carol Danvers and in many respects Nick Fury. In the end, this movie has stellar special effects, great acting in presenting Nick Fury and Talos, and the cat was a hoot. Aside from that Captain Marvel was presented by the actress and writers in a fashion that was more 2 dimensional and lacking. To me this was a quick gain in something that should have been postponed until the FOX merger was completed and make it into a longer arc that could have made Carol Danvers as a more multi-faceted character that could have been the foundation to drawing in some epic franchises into the MCU.… Expand

Painfully average in every way. If you have seen any Marvel movie in the last ten years it has been vomited forth for your consumption. I deducted a point for the nontroversy around this and the frankly bad treatment of the customers in general.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain Marvel was a movie. Yes that is a fact. Brie Larson portrayed Captain Marvel in the movie another fact. Samuel L Jackson was in the movie as Nick Fury my last fact. Now let us move on to opinions. From the opening scene of Captain Marvel to the closing credits the emotional ride was stagnant. There were moments of action and levity but at no point did I feel that there was any real struggle or worry about the outcome. This I believe is due to the knowledge that this picture was taking place in the past and the characters that make appearances in the film and appear in movies later in the timeline ment that nothing terrible would happen to them. As differing characters make their way on screen and are recognized fore knowledge takes away from this story. This makes the tension in some scenes forced and unbelievable. There is very little worry that a character’s life or existence is at risk because I know they will be in the same position or present in Avengers or Iron-man or Maybe in a chronological viewing of the MCU you could argue that an individual with no prior knowledge of the story ars or their players would have greater enjoyment viewing the film. Unfortunately for the majority of fans seeing this film whether they admit it or not the risk vs reward is just not there.
The character of Carol Danvirs is a very good character in the comics with a rich back story and internal struggle for who she was is and wants to be. The depiction we get in the movie is a very watered down version that never makes me root for her to overcome the bad guys. I do not blame Brie Larson for this entirely a lot of the blame falls on the pedestrian character development and dialogue written for her to work with. Now had she spent a weekend researching the character and tried to work the back story and wealth of character development into her portrayal I am sure that we would have had a better reception from audiences. SPOILERS BELOW.

The story of how she was rescued by the Kree and the Kree nursed her back to health and she has no memories of her prior existence along with the, I guess we can call it a, neural inhibitor had me scratching my head. The source material puts Captain Mar-vell as a scout to see about the technology level of the planet and he protects the planet then blood transfusion to Carol and wham bam she has super powers. In the film she obtains the power from the cosmic cube (tesseract) via a light speed engine explosion built by a renegade Kree scientist trying to end the Kree-Skrull war. While the Kree are the true villains of the film we are led down a rabbit hole where the Skrulls are the aggressors. This flies in the face of sixty years of cannon in the Marvel Universe. The appearance of Ronan and his attack against the earth that Carol defeated by playing Missile Command. This one sequence was absolutely enjoyable and whomever pitched the idea deserves a raise. Let's now talk about the cat. Just cause it looks like a cat don't mean it is a cat. Today it's a Flerkin what the heck is a flerkin well cross a tabby cthulu and a pocket dimension and you get a Flerkin. Goose, the Flerkin, is adorable and the kinship with Nick Fury is great. And now we know what took Nick's eye.
Agent Coulson was disappointing and I love both the character and Clark Gregg. How such a monumental experience involving the skulls and the kree how was he clueless in Agents of shield? The continuity of the characters knowledge is broken by this movie but ok I can accept that minor issue.

So over all I would recommend people to watch this film. Hate Brie Larson if you want but I am a believer that the MCU draws from the previous movies. If you didn't watch Black Panther and had little knowledge of the Marvel canon Infinity War would be confusing as hell. So go watch this knowing it matters for the end of the Avengers storyline. So movie as a standalone film sucked but it is needed for the overarching story we have been experiencing for 10 years.… Expand

RemovingThe movie has bad pacing, bad acting (from the lead) if they removed Brie Larson from the film an maybe gotten Yvonne Strahovski who could show emotions an not be so stiff and ridged. Then maybe this movie would have been better. Removing everything from the press tour this movie fails to deliver what it was suppose to. A action packed hero. It doesn't help that Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) has no real origin story to set up a awesome hero. She just gets power without doing any real character development at all. She is the same person before powers as she is with them. It doesn't show she is really willing to do anything for anyone. She is a clear definition of a Mary Sue. If she is going to lead the MCU in the future they might as well just stop making movies an take a few years off to work on some animated movies or work on the comics that are failing to show a profit, like Captain Marvels failed launches.

Over all the few things this movie does right is overshadowed by everything it tried an failed to show in the movie and also what led up to it. I would like to rate it higher as I might deserve a higher score for trying I think it needs to be said that this is not a movie that should have been made before End Game. It would have been better to give Captain Marvel a better start in the MCU than as this all powerful brat.… Expand

This movie was a lot better than I expected. The chemistry between Carol and Fury was great. It was a lot funnier than I expected too. Ben Mendelsohn's character was a nice surprise. And to those saying she didn't have an arc, I don't know what to say - she had a greater arc than even Captain America in his origin story. Gaining superpowers is not an arc - an inner transformation is. I love Captain America, but Steve Rogers went from a determined, nice guy to a determined nice guy with muscles. She went from a strong-willed person to one beaten down and brainwashed, to one who regains her strength through sheer will and the help of her friends. It was pretty endearing, actually. Also, that cat and the credits! A great setup for Endgame and a new hero.… Expand

A movie that serves the purpose of introducing the titular hero so you would know who she is when she shows up in Avengers: Endgame.

The story while not amazing is fun enough to deserve a watch. Great action scenes and funny moments. #GooseIsThaBomb

Soundtrack while sometimes was good in other it actually ruined the scenes I was watching. So it was a hit and miss.

But if I have to be honest Brie Larson was the wrong actress to portray Captain Marvel. She is devoid of emotion and her acting is robotic. “Take two steps, turn, look mean and heroic” like she is just acting being a super hero instead of being the hero. Sometimes it reminded me of straight to TV movies with low budget dialogue and actors. And at this time in the game Marvel should have brought big guns in acting.

But maybe they’ll introduce her to Rouge and have each other shake hands (if you know what I mean)

All in all it is entertaining but not needed to be watched to be ready for Avengers: Endgame. Maybe wait until it comes out to rent.

Just because she won an award for a very particular role doesn't mean every single thing she does is gold. She was miscast for this role. The concerns about her having a flat persona on screen sort of played out. There are solid elements to the film, but when your lead isn't one of them reviewers should be ashamed for giving the movie 8,9,10 ratings. I'm not hating on the film because "it has a strong female character." I just calling a spade a spade. If this had a male character as the lead many reviewers would point out this is standard fare that Marvel turns out each year and is nothing special. The film is fine.

Why did Marvel bring this character just before End Game? There is nothing to like about the main character. In fact, the better title would have been Captain Marble - the return of Terminator! :) Avoid at all cost.

I actually thought I was going to like this. 90's nostalgia >>>> 80's nostalgia. It was just "meh" though. Better than Thor 2... Iron Man 2 though? Tough Call.

Felt like TV to me. Standard fare with a couple good guest stars but a miscast main actress. Larson was pretty great in Room. She's a horrible superhero though. No charisma, no comic timing.

Rent it.… Expand

Marvel's worst movie ever, and the main character has emotions like a tree.

Thanks Disney! Brie Larson is here! Watch out Thanos! All the character we've watched and grown with so far, move the **** out of the way! The woman is here to teach us the proper way to wipe the floor with evil doers! This literal Deus Ex completely spits in the face of what Marvel has been building to. Everyone we know, has now been void and moot because Plank and Captain Mellonhead are going to defeat Thanos in the next movie. Nothing was earned, and nothing has been deserved but you better just accept it. Thanks Marvel for making me not care about End Game!… Expand

Poor performance by Larson, no emotion or chemistry with other actors. Bland action and in a Marvel movie that is unacceptable. Lacklustre script filled with feminist overtones. But at least the cat is good.

Carol is mean, not very interesting herself and seems to sport the same face thought out the whole movie with a few bright moments when she is talking with nick fury. most of the humor of the movie comes from fury and he aliens involved, but carol danvers just doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of them. she doesn't particularly human at any one point in the movie and never seems to have any issues with anything. as a whole i would say wait till disney plus to see this movie if you want to see it at all.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who's been reading Marvel comics for a number of years, and following the movies since the original Iron Man, I can safely say that Captain Marvel is a low point for the MCU. Brie Larson's performance was bland and uninteresting, yet cocky and obnoxious which in turn makes Carol Danvers a very unlikable character. I firmly believe she was the wrong actress for the role.

The fighting and action scenes were decent(as most Marvel movies usually are). But the story left much to be desired, the film strays too far from the source material and barely even mentions the original Captain Mar-vell. Perhaps one of the dumbest moments in the entire film was Nick Fury loosing his eye to a cat. On a positive note, it was nice to see Samuel L Jackson as a younger Nick fury as well as Clark Gregg's Phil Coulson again and the 90's setting and music did make me feel nostalgic, but when the setting and supporting characters are the highlights of an MCU movie you know something is terribly wrong.

For all the hype that Kevin Feige made around this character, Captain Marvel came up feeling very lack luster and even under powered, despite being touted as "the most powerful hero in the MCU". (She didn't appear any more impressive then Iron Man to me) Marvel studios should seriously consider recasting this character or removing her entirely, as her inclusion in the MCU at this point feels very forced and very very unnecessary.… Expand

Went in with an open mind, wasn’t all that impressed. Seemed like that there were a lot of try hard moments that just didn’t work and bits added in to serve the fandom that honestly annoyed me more than pleased me. The cat and Sam L.

Seemed like that there were a lot of try hard moments that just didn’t work and bits added in to serve the fandom that honestly annoyed me more than pleased me. The cat and Sam L. Jackson were both good and the twist was interesting. A second viewing might be needed for any missed fanservice but definitely won’t be paying cinema prices to do that, will wait until it’s released on tv or something. Overall, if you want to keep updated in the MCU in the run up to Endgame it may be worth seeing but I won’t be recommending it to anyone.… Expand

The plot is meandering and incoherent, the villain is forgettable, and Brie Larson herself is just so, so, underwhelming in every way (and the terrible case of resting b**ch face sure doesn't help). These superhero moves have gotten way too generic and same-y, I think after Avengers: Endgame I'm going to call it quits with them.… 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.

I thought this movie was fantastic. Not only was the acting fantastic, but the script was full of funny banter, references to the MCU, and even started with a heartwarmingly tragic nod to Stan Lee.

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

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