More than anything else, the movie is boring. I found myself falling asleep during the auction scenes. Brie seems to agree with me since she plays this as someone who has no investment in the character whatsoever.

Pretty shallow and boring movie. Fell asleep in the first half of the movie. The second half was better but still not good. It is not worth the ticket price.

The story was below subpar, the acting by the main character was a flat as a tumbled souffle. The dialog, effects and set up just all felt like an afterthought to the boosting of a female lead.

- A generic, uninteresting story.
- The de-prioritization of story in the pursuit of a political agenda (man-bashing toxic feminism).
- A negative montage of men and boys…because what’s toxic feminism without attacking males?
- With one exception (Agent Coulson), pretty much every white male in the movie is portrayed negatively. - Gender swapping Mar-Vell (the male “Captain Marvel” who Carol Danvers leeched her powers from in the comics). We can’t have a MAN be a legendary hero that is looked up to by Danvers, you know!!
- Absolutely NO chemistry between Carol Danvers and the person who is portrayed as her best friend. In keeping with SJW “don’t need no man!” orthodoxy, this relationship is the stand-in for what would normally be a romantic relationship (see Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor. Can anyone really say “Wonder Woman” is *worse* as a result of having Chris Pine in it??).
- A main character who is a nobody that Marvel is desperate to make a somebody. Marvel Comics has tried over and over and over and over to get a series for her that someone would read. All cancelled. Now they are forcing her into the cinematic universe. And not only have they forced her on us, but they have (of course) made her the most powerful hero in the universe AND the person that “The Avengers” got their name from. Say, I thought the first Captain America movie, based in WW2 (about 30 years before Carol Danvers was born) was called “Captain America: THE FIRST AVENGER.” Well, ignore that! We have to promote Captain Marvel because feminism!

Now we know why Disney refused to allow reviews until two days before the release. They need to trick as many people as possible into buying a ticket before word of mouth sinks this movie.… Expand

As a super hero movie goes - it's just boring. Even if one ignores all the political messaging with in my view is unnecessary and annoying; one is left with a bog standard plot and some terrible performances (though to be fair the actors have very little to work with as the script is very poor - some of the dialogue is just cringe-worthy).

But the absolute worst disappointment of the film is Brie herself - she just can't carry it. That overarching sense of boredom that robs the story of any real impetus or excitement emanates from the leading actor herself. It is so obvious we have an actor playing a hero. Compare this performance with Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and the difference is night and day - Gadot owned the character, became the character and brought the audience along with her. Larson on the other hand has all the emotional range of a house brick and it shows in every painful scene the audience is forced to watch.

So the film is hamstrung by a poor story but totally let down by the miscasting of Larson. I do wonder whether the marketing folks saw this early and so decided to try and stir up controversy with all the political virtue signalling in an effort to distract from a very weak and disappointing performance.… Expand

Brie Larson was about as charismatic as a cardboard box during the entirety of the flick I honestly questioned if I was in the right theater.

To top it off, any criticism directed at this boring box that tries to entertain you with bright colors is boiled down to one "trolling" or simply "hating" this lackluster affair. You can thank Larson herself for that strawman tactic propagated by her fans.… Expand

I've read about 30 of each and it I feel like most of the negatives are "bombing" it at 0 or 1, while most of the positives are diehardFirstly, you will notice that almost all the reviews here are in the "positive" or "negative" category. I've read about 30 of each and it I feel like most of the negatives are "bombing" it at 0 or 1, while most of the positives are diehard fans giving it 10 just to try to balance out the negatives. It is nowhere near a 0 or 1 (worst movie you've ever seen); equally, saying it is a 9 or 10 is a joke. Using a theme from the movie, I think people are writing more with emotion here than honesty in mind. Captain Marvel is not that bad of a movie. However, it's also not that good.

Personally, when I go into an action movie, I just expect to be entertained. I'm the type of guy who can watch a movie like Transformers or Ready Player One and I don't really care how the acting is because it's fun and visually cool. I like dramas too and I'll go watch one of those if I want to see outstanding action and human emotion. Take from that what you will. No, the acting was not very good in Captain Marvel. The highlights were (as others have mentioned) Samuel J. as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the villain Talos. In my opinion, Brie Larson's performance was not *horrible,* but it definitely left something to be desired. If I could call it anything, I was say it was "inconsistent." She seemed like she brainstormed several characters for Captain Marvel and couldn't decide which one she wanted to use. The very emotional parts of the movie felt forced, and I found it hard believing that the character was being challenged. She also has a lot of witty lines that fall flat. It very much seems like she was trying to be another Tony Stark, but lacks the charisma to pull it off.

I thought the action and visuals were cool and the portrayal of alien planets was really neat. I don't know why everyone is knocking the fight scenes, because there were some decent ones that were pretty fun. I think more people were annoyed by the corniness or unconvincing smugness of Larson's character in those scenes and didn't focus as much on the action. I don't *think* this is a spoiler since a lot of it is shown in the trailers, but there is a part where Captain Marvel becomes so powerful that the fighting really lacks suspense or surprise. However, I still thought it *looked* cool, so I'll give it that.

I like "corny action movies." The main thing that destroys an action movie for me (and I think will for most here) is "cringe moments." Everyone knows what these are for them personally, so I won't go into what makes something cringey. I consider myself VERY affected by cringe moments compared to the average person. I could barely get through Batman vs. Superman or Justice League because of how cringey they were. Personally, I didn't think Captain Marvel was that cringey; many will disagree with me. Brie Larson's acting is hard to believe, but not horrible. As for the much-maligned "feminist" parts of the movie, they felt a little forced, but again I didn't think they were cringey or movie-ruining. There is a "girl power" fight scene that is corny and out-of-place in the movie: that was probably the worst one for me. I didn't find the movie to be "man-hating" like others did, but I don't think it was effective in getting a positive feminist message across.

One more thing to mention is the 90's nostalgia theme. This portrayal feels a lot like Brie Larson's acting: acceptable, but kind of fake and forced. I can't remember what exact year they said it was in the movie, but it felt like they were all over the place with their dates and themes. Cars, clothing, and hair styles all seemed very early 90s. Music was more late 90s, and there were some other inconsistencies. As anyone who has lived through the 90s can tell you, it was a very diverse and changing decade, and the directors couldn't decide which part to focus on. I don't think it "took away" from the film, but it failed to scratch the nostalgia itch they were going for.

TL;DR: Captain Marvel is an average (not terrible), unspectacular action movie, with a mediocre main lead, problems with directing, but some memorable and fun action scenes and supporting performances. My recommendation: Marvel fans should wait for the video release to see it. All other viewers can probably skip it.… Expand

However, I can see how someone watching through a different lens viewed it differently. In terms of the acting, I thought all the African American actors were excellent. However, I didn't like little aspects of Larson's fights scenes. I could tell in some scenes that she was holding back punches. And her running form didn't look as fast as her character was portraying. In that respect, I definitely don't think this movie should be rated 0 or 1. At minimum the movie should be rated 5-6. There were action scenes, humorous scenes and plot twists. Thus, I rate this movie an 8 out of 10.

Captain Marvel is a story of a woman who figures out her past, finds her truth, and breaks free from her oppression. It's a movie women and girls can watch, and feel empowered by. And, it's message is that when one falls down and faces setback, she should should get back up and break through barriers. This message is something that resonates with women, and can only be appreciated by watching through a feminist lens.… Expand

Just watched this movie, beside all the controversy around the lead actors political views I wanted to give it a chance because of my love of comics and the MCU. my issue with the movie seemed to be a attempted rehash of Captain AmericasJust watched this movie, beside all the controversy around the lead actors political views I wanted to give it a chance because of my love of comics and the MCU. my issue with the movie seemed to be a attempted rehash of Captain Americas origin from the MCU. but unlike Captain America, they barley fleshed out motivation for why Carol Danvers deserves to or wants to be a hero, they rush threw some character building points by just show flashed a men being dick to women. Being a comic book movie based in fiction I guess their world they wanted to create was a one were men treat women like **** In my own life we respect all people but I don't live with only progressive dems so maybe that's why i don't see this kind of abuse.
other then the forced ideology, I don't see any emotion from Miss Marvel, her jokes fell flat, her chemistry seemed forced with Furry. I feel like they missed a few opportunity to show more of early S.H.E.I.L.D and furry and Coulson and maybe some more incite to who they are. The thing that i dislike the most is that Miss Marvel, is that she seemed to not be excited/impressed about anything, It was like when she went full power she already knew it was it was possible, or her acting was so bad she couldn't make us believe she is the Hero she claims to be.… Expand

The supporting cast REALLY carry this movie. I think Bri Larson was good, in specific scenes, but overall, not great collectively in this film. She felt "medicated", if you will, by showing no emotion through some of the climax of the movie. It is strange saying this, given that she has won an Academy Award for leading actress, but she forgot how to act in this film.

The end picks up and leads right into End Game, so Marvel fans MUST see this movie. My true review is a 6.5/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been a Marvel Fan since I bought the comics as a Kid. My wife enjoys most of the Marvel movies but only started watching them because of me. Also, we're not a fan of the DC movies but we loved Wonder Woman. That was a great movie. With all the backlash against the Marketing of Captain Marvel I took my wife to see the movie without giving her any background info.

Her reaction to the movie was, "it was ok. I liked the cat." and "They really laid the Girl Power message on thick." When the pet cat is the best part of a Superhero flick you know the movie is bad. Now with all that said, I thought the movie was **** It was not remotely true to the source material and Brie Larson was horrible. I have a skin tag in my left arm pit that has more personality and acting range than she does. After watching the movie, all the conspiracy theories about Captain Marvel beig a Mary Sue that is being shoe horned into the MCU are confirmed. One of the last scenes, which is meant to get us excited for Endgame, did the exact opposite for me. That scene was cringey and has me worried that Captain marvel is going to ruin Endgame. The thought of Brie Larson as Captain marvel in an Avengers movie has me seriously worried about Endgame and my desire to see Endgame has decreased. That is something I did not think was possible.… Expand

CGI was also cheaper looking than previous MCU movies I have seen so far.

And her being so overpowered, makes her uninteresting to get involved it as you know she will never be in peril and need other MCUs help.

If Carol Danvers is supposed to be the new shining character for youngsters to look up to, then we are heading into an even more entitled future.

If you want a badass strong character to respect, go watch Alita Battle Angel instead. This movie makes me scared for Endgame and future MCU movies coming. I hope it doesnt become another The Last Jedi :(… Expand

Brie Larson is a skilled actress, regardless of her man-hating rants and her recent diving into the gender-wars. So when an Oscar winner gets out-staged by a cat and by CGI effects, you know you can blame the director and the script. If you watch Room and you watch Scott Pilgrim, you'll realize she has an unbelievable range. Actually, let me remind you that the song she plays in Scott Pilgrim she sang it herself, and did the musical arrangement with her band. So there's no reason for her to play an emotionless character (unless the director tells her to)

So, basically blame this train wreck on political pandering. I've liked Carol Danvers for a long time, and both her and the Legacy Avengers actors deserve better than this. Here's hoping this doesn't nuke Endgame.… Expand

The cool emontionless nature of Brie's acting as Marvel has often been criticized. With a male role this would probably not have been of any consequence.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stan Lee's tribute was nice. Some of the action sequences were entertaining but some were bad and needed too many cuts. Everything else was bad.

Jackson does well but plays a very watered down Fury. The surprise involving him was DUMB.

Brie's character was unrelatable. Her "feminist" struggle in no way impacts her character to add actual depth. Her personal struggle in the movie is: she's so strong she has to overcome being held back by father figures, but she doesn't need to go through any personal growth to accomplish this - her memories just have to come back to her.

Skrulls are completely ruined.

Actual plot is sacrificed to deliver a mixed message that refugees & terrorists are misunderstood innocents that just need help finding a home. And I don't know if this was a shot at US politics & military (analogous to the Star Force) OR an anti-Israel anti-Semitic message. Either way it's BAD.

A solid foundation for future solo outings with solid performances fromThis IS a film you CAN watch and enjoy if you know nothing about the MCU or indeed the comics, there is something for everyone here and EVERYONE will love Goose the Cat. A solid foundation for future solo outings with solid performances from all cast members, not perfect but no origin movie for an unknown character to moviegoers ever is (I class Black Panther as more introducing Wakanda than just a character and is an outstanding exception to the rule deserving of its awards and nominations).

FIRST OFF THIS IS NOT A SJW FILM, yes there are few moments when every day issues women have to deal with crop up, including the whole smiling issue, but it is not in your face or frequent. It may have been stronger if they had dealt with sexism head on but they opted to sidestep the gender politics it is accused of being about in the main. What some have tried to label as snobbish most women would recognise as every day ignoring the idiots and not letting them get you down and that's about it. Danvers is not one who expects equality on a plate, she gets knocked down or insulted she brushes it off. This is a strong, intelligent woman who works hard to earn respect and get what and where she wants in life, knock her down she gets back up and fights harder, refuse to pay for her to go to college she goes out, joins the Air Force and puts herself through college and appears comfortable and at ease in the company of men, no signs of the bitterness you might expect from the characters life story. Some may expect a female character to more openly display a wider range of stronger emotions but that simply would not be realistic for a USAF pilot who has spent 6 years convinced that she is part of a race who in the comics routinely lobotomise their women to suppress emotions and pleasure to prevent them controlling the men.

After 20 MCU movies it is impossible not to do the compare it to ALL the rest test but if you strip out the team films (inc Guardians and Civil war) this film stands amongst the best. Out strips the first two Thor movies by a mile, better than the incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Ant man 1 & 2 (unless your only after a comedy). After that it becomes more debatable depending on taste, and yes, gender. This IS a film women will tend to enjoy more than men and does give a strong role model for girls but it is a film men WILL enjoy too. It has similar pacing and structure to Iron Man 3 with strong action packed opening act, followed by ‘Vers’ crashing to Earth (at around the point in Iron Man 3 his house fell into the sea) and having to rediscover who she is through a new friendship (this time amnesia rather than PTSD) before heading into an action packed finale and is just as enjoyable as Iron Man 3.

All the performances from the cast were brilliant, I can understand some criticism about the way Danvers was written but she was true to what you would expect considering her military background etc it is true to life but I get that some ALWAYS want larger than life. Once she puts the pieces of her life back together and embraces her humanity she is every bit and more what you would want or expect both as person and as a superhuman. The chemistry and friendship between Brie and Samuel shines through in the 90’s style buddy movie middle section of the film. It could have been far stronger if it had taken more risks, tried to be more niche but at this stage in the Avengers story arc this was more about introducing the new character to be joining the team without wanting to make waves and it IS a solid foundation for future solo outings as well as starting to set up potential larger story arcs for AFTER end game. It is an origin story so like most it has issues due to having to explain how she got her powers, explore the powers, small voyage of personal discovery for the main hero and explain the two alien races all having to be crammed in. There is no love interest which is a plus and instead starts a true new friendship between Danvers and Fury and a true and deep, loving friendship rekindled between Carol and her fellow female pilot Maria Rambeau. There is no BIG enemy as such in this movie which some may view as a negative as there never feels like that life or death threat we are used to in CBM’s but for me gave the characters room to breath. This was a soldier separated from her squad in the middle of a war then questioning her role in that war so no overpowered enemy to fight for most the film is refreshing considering the HUGE fight she is going to be part of in the last Avengers film released just a month after this one.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I really tried to give this a chance and have low expectations. But the acting was just bad, not wholly from Brie but she is the lead. The story is paper thin and feels out of place with the MCU. all the SJW noise on both sides aside the tone is arrogant, self satisfied, and pontificating. All MCU heroes have their weaknesses... til Captain Marvel. Really I think this takes away from the MCU look and feel.… Expand

Derivative all over the place and simplistic not counting the overt misandry and lack of character warmth.Just an unwanted filler movie till the real film comes out.Endgame cross fingers.

Total snooze fest. Weak plot and horribly mis-cast. Brie Larson has done well in more dramatic roles but not so much here.

This is the weakest Marvel movie so far. It lack in all departments, story is trivial, characters are unlikable, acting is blend. I am really worried for the incoming Avengers Endgame movie, after watching this movie.

Great origin movie that isn't as traditional as the trailer may seem. It will be very interesting to see what they do with the character in the future MCU films.

This will probably get a lot of downvotes because of fat crybabies behind their mom's pc but hey, I liked it. I don't agree with Brie Larson's political agenda, yes, but it didn't seep into the movie fortunately, so I'm judging the movie as a movie. The soundtrack was amazing, Ben Mendelsohn killed it and Samuel L. Jackson was amazing too. Brie Larson didn't really feel like an oscar-worthy actor in this movie, although I did think that of her in Room (2015). The script was also pretty great. Just a good movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not gonna lie. Not a fan. I hoped this would be a lot better than it was. It let me down. It was pretty mid, tbh. Fury, the Cat, the VFX and Talos ended up being the good bits. Seriously more trash than I expected and I was already let down with the direction they were going from creator/director comments but I still gave it a try.

How are you gonna have your main character be so OP without real reason or sense of scaling and then have little to no actual reason for the audience to care about her? I mean, come on.

Plus, what the hell was up with that girl song during the fight scene? Did something go wrong with audio mixing in post? Did you hire someone from a Netflix show to handle that bit or something? It was just jarring.

Also, girl power is one thing but there's no point in making the agenda so blatant that it harms the character. Oh, I fail at things, sure, but I need a man to tell me I can't do them before I work up the motivation to do anything?

Also, the cat and Fury's eye? Are you joking with me right now? Her Air Force call sign being Avenger instead of Cheeseburger? Fury not calling her for two end of the world events he had prior warning on but could pull it out seconds before the snap?

Not to mention rewriting Mar-Vell as an old woman and then not even making that woman a hero? Making Monica a little girl that looks up to Carol? Are you joking right now, Marvel?

What is this actual trash that you're feeding us?

I paid money for this nonsense.… Expand

Second point, I understand that for reason of the plot the actress cant show emotions but her performance is like some who that doesn't want to go to work or even work with bad attitude, obscuring all the nice things that you can take from the movie.

Since that time, the popularity of the Marvel franchise has only grown and the call for a female lead movie has only increased with each passing year. In 2019, her time has come, as Marvel introduces its most powerful hero to us on the cusp of Endgame, Captain Marvel.

The movie opens with Vers, a member of the Kree Starforce. She’s plagued by dreams of another life, one that seems familiar, but she cannot place. He mentor Yon-Rogg, continually lectures her about her emotional state and how her emotions and memories are holding back her true power. The Supreme Intelligence (an artificial intelligence for the Kree people that is a collection of all their greatest minds) reminds Vers of this same thing, her power can be taken away, just as it was given, if she does not learn to fall in line, control her emotions and follow orders. On top of all of this, there are the shapeshifting Skrulls, the sworn enemies of the Kree who are seen as terrorists, infiltrating planets clandestinely to turn them against the Kree.

If all of this seems like a lot, it is. The beginning of the movie is disjointed and disorienting. It takes a while to catch everything that is happening, who is who and how it all fits together. It’s also not helped by flashbacks to Veers previous life on Earth. This is the single biggest problem with the movie. The prehistory of Vers (Carol Danvers), is one of immense hardship, a bad family, constantly being told she’s not good enough or will never make it, always being put down. Her past life is struggle.

The issue is, that this theme of struggle seems incongruous with what we see in the present. There is never a situation that Carol is in, that she cannot handle. In fact, it’s all pretty easy for her. Even when her powers are taken away, she is able to beat up everyone in the room.

Her struggle for identity is also a frustration. This should be the core of the movie, the question of, “who am I.” She’s a woman without a past, that is tortured with memories that don’t make sense, yet you never feel that. Honestly Veers and Danvers are pretty much the same. There is not a shift in characterization or tone, it is all one note and that note is, “I’m too cool for school.” In the end, the lead character ends up being the least interesting person on screen.

This is accentuated but the fact that she is surrounded by good actors on every side. Samuel L. Jackson is back as a younger Fury and he’s great. You truly believe this is a man that’s confronted with his first alien encounter, that this is his first step into a much larger world. Ben Mendelsohn steals the show as the Skrull Talos. Every time he is on screen, he’s electric. Lashana Lynch as Maria Rambeau is better here than Larson. Her portrayal of Danvers’ best friend is heartfelt and emotional.

Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, both are de-aged in the film. At first, it is off-putting, as it does not look completely believable. Gregg unfortunately will never look right, but Jackson does begin to look better throughout the film and some scenes are better than others. Unfortunately the inconstancy draws your attention to something the filmmakers want you to be able to forget, but never can.

Captain Marvel never reaches the heights of Marvel’s best. There aren’t stand out action moments that you’ll walk out of the theater talking about. The lack of narrative and thematic cohesion, plus the lack of a strong arc for the main character put the movie firmly in middle of the Marvel pack, it’s neither a train wreck or a stand out, it’s just kinda there. What’s most disappointing is not feeling like Carol Danvers is anything other than a powerful pawn being placed on the Marvel board for a movie that’s not her’s. Carol Danvers deserved better. Captain Marvel is rated 3 out 5 stars.… Expand
