A serious low point of the MCU. I have severe dread for the MCU going forward.

Pros: Carol is a bada$$, lots of cool Marvel nerd references, favorite Stan Lee cameo (and anyone who looks closely and knows where my fandom lies will know why). The 90’s nostalgia was refreshing (as I’m getting a little tired of 80’s nostalgia) without being overdone. The bait and switch in terms of the plot sold me. Really dug some of the ways it tied into the broader MCU history. A really cool variety of action sequences. If you like action, it has a little bit of everything.

Cons: Carol is a bada$$, but I don’t feel like she got a real character arc to get her there. I wanted a little bit more of her backstory to really cement her character. I think I understand why she was presented the way she was within the context of the overall story, but I just wanted a little more. While I dug some of the ways it ties into MCU history, there were other ways I thought were kinda dumb. (Sidenote: While not a knock against the film itself, I’m still not sold on how she is being placed in the MCU timeline. I guess I’ll see how I feel after Endgame).

Special Nerdy Pro/Con Mix: There was a very particular thing I wanted from this movie that was given to me, just not in the form I wanted it. However, it did leave the door open for giving it to me in a later film.

Overall: While Brie Larson works well with what she was given and the character choices make sense in terms of the story, I really didn’t connect to Carol as a character. I’m also hoping her introduction at this stage doesn’t amount to a sort of Deus ex machina going into Endgame. That being said, the story is great, the action is great, Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) is great, Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) return is great, Goose the cat(?) is great, the Skrulls are great, all the comic book nerd references are great. All in all, pretty great.

Grade: B+

(P.S. Stan Lee fans, try not to cry as the film opens).… Expand

For me this movie was poor. I also think now in the MCU is too late a time to introduce a new character, especially and OP and political character. Plus non-existent story arc and generally cliche plot all contribute to a poor movie

It tries to be a movie that pushes diversity and does a political statement. Ironically the writers do such a bad job at this that the only way they try to do this is portraying men as douches and making Carol Danvers as masculine as they can, using general awful tropes of what a man is: stoic, out of touch with her feelings and condescending.

This makes really hard to create an emotional connection with the character.

The story is bland, there is no hero journey for Carol Danvers, she is perfect and overpowered and each time she needs to improve she just do it, without any real effort. It is the definition of Mary Sue.

The action is not that good, nor that bad. The worst part is the cgi, that seems quite outdated.

Other problems comes from the story and coherence in the universe, like choose to make a particular race of aliens good instead of bad just for the sake of the plot twist, introducing some issues to the universe canon.

Also, it was hinted this movie will be highly tied to Avengers Endgame. It is not. There are some parts related to pre Infinity War events, but that is all.

Perhaps the most concerning part is that an origin movie has 2 other characters that are more enjoyable than the new hero. One being Fury that was sadly used as a comic relief and the other a cat. When a cat is more expressive and fun than the main character you have a problem.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

In summary:

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

2/10.… Expand

Just kind of "eh," with a similar plot. After 21 Marvel films, I'm sure most people who have seen them all will rank this one toward the bottom. Most. It was nothing worth getting worked up over for fans or the press. Brie Larson, as others have pointed out, was unemotive and bland. There are some special effects I found on par with the first "X-Men" movie. I found the amount of direct references and nostalgia overwhelming sometimes. It ironically took me out of the movie knowing Brie Larson was born in 1989, the year NIN released "Pretty Hate Machine." Does Brie Larson know that? I doubt it. It just doesn't "feel" like 199X. Bad reviews are not meant to hurt the feelings of those involved in the production. No one is trying to hurt Brie Larson or her career by saying they don't like or want to see this movie. It's just an opinion, not "trolling."… Expand

The story also seemed uninspired, with Captain Marvel's motivations not being explained or shown at all, due to this, you really do not know how Captain Marvel's character developed during the film, which my guess is that she did not.

It seemed like no one even tested her and she was too unexcited to care. The only redeeming thing this film has is Colson or the Cat. This whole movie reminded me of when the CW has a crossover series and they spend a little more on CGI. Plot? predictable do the right thing against the people that you thought were your friends.

It might not end up being the most memorable movie in the scheme of things, but it was a LOT of fun and Brie Larson is really satisfyingly badass. In a lot of ways, with its tone, a plot twist or two, and the concurrent flashback storyline, it didn’t feel like a Marvel movie in that very specific paint-by-numbers way that these movies can go. In addition to being set in the 90s, it reminded me a lot of a movie I would’ve seen in the 90s — with its buddy cop tone, cheesy but heartwarming inspirational lines, and the after-school special messages of fairness and friendship — all on that gargantuan Marvel budget.

The Good: I really liked the Stan LeeWent and saw this movie this morning with my two nieces. We left the theater kinda disappointed. It's a movie I think I would have rather waited for until it came out to rent on DVD (for a lot cheaper).

The Good: I really liked the Stan Lee tribute and cameo at the beginning of the movie. The Captain Marvel origin story is pretty good. Some of the acting was good. The special effects were good. The cat was great.

The Bad: The pacing of the movie is off (especially at the beginning). Too much story crammed into only a 2h 4m movie. Tons of expositions. The forced puns and jokes aren't funny (no one in the theater laughed at the obvious attempt). Bre Larsen's acting is mediocre and her range is lack-luster. The writing is kinda sketchy and bad in places (especially on WHY Captain Marvel is so over-powered and nigh God-like). The plot seems oddly familiar -- certain scenes are exceptionally reminiscent of Captain America. Captain Marvel has ZERO weaknesses -- at no point during the film do you feel or sense that Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers is in any danger. The "secrete" end credit clip honestly kind of turned me off from wanting to see Avengers Endgame. The way they portrayed it made it seem like Captain Marvel is completely taking over and will come to the Avenger's rescue and defeat Thanos all by herself.… Expand

Captain Marvel is a film that has a lot going for it. Being the first Marvel movie of 2019, and the last movie in the lead up to Avengers: Endgame. So I'm gonna start with the good stuff first. The soundtrack is really good, the more techno aspect of it reminds me of Thor Ragnarok, but really scaled back. The CGI is pretty good throughout most of the film, especially Samuel L Jackson's de-aging CGI. The story is broken apart so that the film goer gets snippets of information at times, which is an interesting technique, but eventually became a bit repetitive. The Stan Lee cameo was fantastic, and a great callback too. Outstanding performances by Samuel L Jackson, and Ben Mendelsohn. Now onto the bad, the cast is a little bland at times and due to the run-time of the film there isn't really a whole lot of time for the average film goer to solidify a connection to the characters. Larson who plays Captain Marvel is really stiff at times, and isn't really all that likable, as towards the later parts of the movie she comes off as extremely cocky. On top of that the film has a lot of dry humor, however they don’t give the time needed for most of the laughs to land, literally a second or two more would’ve been enough. In the end, Captain Marvel is a decent flick, it has flare where it needs it and that’s it, it’s a pretty good superhero movie with a lot of minor context for the last 10 years of the MCU.… Expand

Captain Marvel will go down in history as one of the most revolutionary movies of our time. Before I get to my review it needs to be stated that anyone giving Captain Marvel a score of less than 8 simply cant handle the fact that a strongCaptain Marvel will go down in history as one of the most revolutionary movies of our time. Before I get to my review it needs to be stated that anyone giving Captain Marvel a score of less than 8 simply cant handle the fact that a strong female protagonist is being depicted as someone who doesn't need to rely on some generic male character who is, by default, (by virtue of western society-induced implicit biases, or simply by lazy writing) intellectually and physically superior to any and all female characters. That is a fact. Unfortunately we live in a society so mentally distorted by antiquated patriarchal systems of power that the most entitled and privileged among us are hardwired to react with fury and vindictiveness whenever the mere notion of gender equality is expressed to women and girls who have been told for centuries that they're not good enough. Fortunately, some men such as myself are intellectually advanced and compassionate enough to acknowledge this, and are willing to stand behind women in their fight for justice. Now onto the review!

Brie Larson, both as Captain Marvel AND as herself is perhaps the most inspiring character and individual in modern history. She takes all the stereotypes of "muh femalez are all weak and helpless" and turns them completely on their head, exposing the denied truth that women are just as strong as their male counterparts. Stereotypes like this are extremely harmful to the emotional well-being of women. Ms. Larson's acting is simply exquisite. I genuinely cried a few times throughout the movie; not just because of how incredible the experience was from beginning to end, but because I became so emotionally overwhelmed by the realization that FINALLY women are being represented as the strong, independent forces of nature that every single one of them are, and this is FINALLY becoming mainstream. We are at a turning point in history, and I can think of no better way to encapsulate this revolution of gender equality than the release of Captain Marvel. I'm not ashamed to admit that I am holding back tears as I write this, as I cannot help thinking of all the struggles endured by women that have finally led us to this point. So to anyone still considering whether to watch this movie: do it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to only pay $10-15 to take part in a historic moment. At the very least, your contribution will incentivize other Hollywood producers to follow our lead in fighting for freedom and justice. "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything."

Oh, and to whoever wants to downvote my review: you're just confirming the angry white male stereotype, but at least it is a valid stereotype.… Expand

Poor plot line, bad scripting, poor portrayal, graphics that range from absolutely fantastic, to absolutely horrible. VERY weak ending. All said, the supporting cast is the ONLY thing that will carry this movie through. Their parts are well done, and literally will be all that is worth watching in this film.

This movie was slightly entertaining due to the other cast members but was just a bore when it came to the main character. I can't tell if that's how she was supposed to be in the movie or if that is what the actor wanted to portray in the movie. The fact that Capt. Marvel hardly has any alone screen time by herself shows that she needed assistance from all the other characters to make the story somewhat plausible and believable. This movie is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the worst MCU movies to date along with being right up there with The Last Jedi; and we all seen how that movie turned out!....… Expand

TheThis film is a complete and utter dumpster fire. The lead protagonist fails in every sense of the word, completely devoid of personality or charisma and much like Star Wars (The Last Jedi), the hero lacks any form of actual story arc. The film is completely shoe horned between infinity war and end game to essentially shove this essentially new character (with completely boosted abilities) down our throats (whether we like it or not). Even the cat everyone kept talking about is not worth mentioning. The only saving grace in the film was the little girl (which stole every single scene away from Brie she was in, so kudos to her). What was done to Nick Fury's back story is completely shameful. Seriously shame on you Kevin Feige for bringing what is essentially garbage to the screen. This film has little to no redeeming value whatsoever. Don't see this and save yourself some money.… Expand

Don't take your poor kids, so you don't have to answer their innocent honest questions. Maybe some of this hated fan base (Why are movie execs, media and some actors portraying the loyal fan bases of a series of genre as bad? Why, that completely boggles my mind. They have every right to make a film, song, post, blog, etc the way they personally want it. And as the public, we can agree or disagree...enjoy or not. It's our responsibility to check people just like we are checked every day. Sorry, I went off on a tangent.) honest opinions will make sense to them.

Brie Larson was horribly miscast. From past films, she can obviously act, but gives little evidence of it here with her wooden, charisma-free performance. She keeps the same one-note expression throughout most of the film, whatever is happening to her.

Captain Marvel has no personality, character arc or growth as a person. She never really seemed to be in peril, which meant there was no tension or excitement in the movie and I never identified with her at any point.

The story is corny, the script is poor,(with a not-so subtle feminist agenda), some of the fight scenes are choppily edited and the special FX look cheap. Oh and the much-vaunted cat is a mere gimmick.

Several things are clumsily retconned to shoehorn this character into the MCU mythology. These revelations make no sense and leave the mythos all the poorer for it.

I gave it credit for the supporting cast, especially Samuel L Jackson who is as good as ever (despite the film absolutely ruining his character) and for some of the jokes.

Still, this is one of the worst, if not THE worst MCU film. If Captain Marvel is going to be the face of the MCU going forward, I may not bother with their films after Endgame.

We're given no reason to care for her. She's cocky and arrogant (like many comic-book super-heroes), but has no redeeming qualities to offset that. Her stoicism doesn't make it any better. Imagine Thor without the character growth - where he KNEW he was worthy, no matter what happened. That's Carol Danvers, and it's off-putting.

The action is poorly-paced, poorly-framed, and so ubiquitous that it becomes boring. Think "Transformers: Dark of the Moon". I actually liked the action in Thor: The Dark World more. Let that sink in.

Hopefully the other writers/directors for her next (of seven or eight guaranteed films?) movies will have a more palatable approach. It has to be difficult, though, when the character is so unlikable. I don't necessarily blame Brie Larson for this, but she definitely seems to lean hard into Carol Danvers' poor traits. Maybe that was the way she was directed. I hope so. I can't imagine this character, as depicted by Brie Larson, fitting in with the rest of the Avengers. She seems the type that would have all the wrong kinds of friction with the other heroes.

I can't recommend this movie - not even for those few Captain Marvel fans. Maybe it's just a stumble out of the gate, with the next movie featuring the character being better-made. Let's hope so.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent addition to the Marvel cinematic universe. Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson have great chemistry. The world they create for the Kree is actually very intriguing, hopefully, in the sequels, the world is explored more. The 1990s nostalgia is subtle but there, with the hotwiring of a Gameboy to communicate with her superiors, to the throwback to some great songs of the 90s. The Skrull are actually well done in that you thought they would be the villains but they flipped the script to make them seem more misunderstood. I agree that Captain Marvel is overpowered but that's her character, just like Superman is overpowered. Ben Mendelsohn also does an incredible job as Talos and Annette Bening is also great.… Expand

*EDIT*
just had to check out some other things, and rewatch Elektra to make sure I was remembering correctly and i was not remembering it all correctly, ELektra would be a 9 and this movie would be a -4 if i could do that. I wish I could becuase this $h!t with nick fury about him having his eye scratched out by a cat, it wasn't even a mountain lion or a tiger, it was a bloody house cat, no body over the age of 10 should belive that a man like nick fury would loose his eye to a bloody cat, let alone a house cat, the way the battle with the mentor it seems to be saying well F all white men and its litterly might as well be brain washing for young kids of the future so they turn into SJW's and ruin even more of movies and tv, Elektra bloody Elektra which critics hated was better then this garbage, and them blaming freaking white men for the bad reviews, i am a women and I hated this movie, the some of the mixed reviews of the critics hwere female i only think 1 female critic rated the movie as a positive, there is nothing in the credits for end game, dont go to see this movie, it is a waste of your money and a waste of time, its boring and will sometimes make you wonder what the hell where the people who rated this anything but a mixed or negative movie thinking, they are either fake reviews bought by disney or captain marvel or where SJW's and femenist, no one should watch this movie with a person who loves the black captain marvel, they changed captain marvel from black to white, she should of been black and should of stayed black, they changed the character and they do **** that is stupid.
*EDIT 2* I am not a troll, I have seen the movie, and I hated it, worst movie i have seen in my life, i would compare it to a freaking movie of bread cooking movie, it is that boreing, i dont see how anyone could like it and to some of you positive commenters who brought up how wonder women was a femenist film, IT WAS BLOODY NOT A FREAKING FEMENIST FILM, IT DID NOT SHOVE POLOTICS DOWN YOUR THROAT AND THEN SAY IT WAS A MOVIE AND DIDNT HAVE A ACTRESS AND A STAFF WHO SAID IT WAS, IT WAS A MOVIE THAT TOLD A GOOD STORY WITH WONDERFUL CHARACTERS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT CAPTAIN MARVEL IS THE BLOODY CAT, AND EVEN THAT ISNT ENOUGH TO SAVE IT IN MY OPINION OF GIVING IT A 0 IT **** ON BLACK MEN, IT HAS A WORSE PLOT THEN A 8 YEAR OLD COULD COME UP WITH, THE STORY IS JUST A MIDDLE FINGER TO MEN IN GENERAL, THE ACTRESSES PREFORMANCE IS AS STALE AS A BLOODY CRACKER THAT HAS BEEN OUT FOR 2 YEARS.… Expand

The fight scenes are exciting and the sci-fi is solid. There are some pacing issues, but that comes with the territory when there are five writers and two directors on a project like this. Ignore the trolls and straw-man arguments who are clutching their pearls over something as simple as a call for diversity in film. If you have kids, take them to see Captain Marvel. You'll have just as much fun as they do.… Expand

Not the best movie but was a decent film but a crappy thing to gender swap Captain Mar-vel and try to make us sympathize with the skrulls. ‬

Captain Marvel is excellent! Brie Larson is much more expressive in the movie than she is in the trailers, which is what my main concern was (not some political remarks).

The movie is fun and bright, but to my surprise knew how to take itself seriously. One of my major complaints with Marvel films is the overload of Bathos (all jokes, all the time, no matter the cost). I think that this is probably one of the best Marvel solo films since Iron Man 1 or Winter Soldier.… Expand

Movie is just too forced. The only good part was Samuel L Jackson and 90's nostalgia. Everything else felt too forced. Black Widow movie would have been 10x better.

Brie Larson played arguably one of the best comic book characters I've ever seen. Her mix of raw power and subtle humor absolutely made the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed Captain Marvel and cannot wait to see what she brings to Avengers: Endgame.

Surprisingly I was just bored throughout the film. The story is quite predictable and the stakes feel incredibly low. Once Captain Marvel gets a grasp on her powers she's completely unstoppable and it's kind of boring to see. There were a few interesting characters - nick fury, agent colson, a skrull and the cat of course.
I kind of just wanted to leave halfway through though which is something I never thought i'd say about a marvel film.
Oh a good tip - the mid credits scene is really great but the post credits scene is completely pointless and everyone in the theater who waited for it seemed disappointed. I won't spoil it, i'll just say there are no important characters in it at all.… Expand

I'll probably wait to see the avengers endgame until I hear how big of a part she plays because there is absolutely nothing compelling or interesting about this character or her Journey. they could have done so much better with giving a movie to the black widow or the scarlet witch even bringing in she-hulk might have been a better option. this was an absolute mess and did nothing but damage the MCU as a whole.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok so first off the Stan Lee tribute was very heartwarming and probably the only emotion I felt in the entire movie. Had it not been for the tribute, this movie would probably be ranked lower that the 5 I gave it. The quality of this movie feels to be somewhere between a Disney Channel special and a Syfy Channel movie. The story was very slow and by the time the pace started picking up I had already checked out and was not interested. The humor was weak in my opinion and I think only one joke made me laugh. Most Marvel movies I can leave the theater and recall my favorite parts. I left this movie feeling empty and relieved it was over. Samuel L. Jackson's role as Fury felt out of character to me. Weve been used to a serious, but sometimes cuts a joke here and there, Nick Fury. This version of a younger Fury did not feel like the same person. Fury was more laid back and made jokes as much as he could. Fury was pretty much the comedic relief of the movie and not the strong, get things done, Fury weve had since Iron Man. Yeah change is good, but this was not a good change in my opinion. Next the cat...I did not like the cat. The reveal was nice to see but then it was overused and lost its hype, quickly. Also it was pretty predictable that the cat would be the reason Fury lost his eye, which was also overused and lost its appeal. The way the movie kept joking and teasing the audience about how Fury may lose his eye was a gag that fell flat. Every time something happened to Fury they movie would draw attention to his eye for a huge build up and DUD, he'd be fine. Then finally at the end of the movie the cat claws his eye in the most anti climatic fashion. Maybe the whole joke was to make people feel like Fury was an awesome soldier who lost his eye from something spectacular, only to make it this made up story of grandeur. It felt very Snoke-ish to me as a fan. Now onto Brie Larson or Carol Danvers. Brie's performance was very bland in this movie. I didnt feel any authentic connection she was having with any of her other co-stars. The movie tried to get the audience to feel a connection with her long lost friend towards the end, but it also fell flat due to it being mixed with a plot twist. Onto the character of Captain Marvel itself. Captain Marvel, CM, felt very much like a Mary Sue. CMs power level through the movie went from being a super hero to god by the end of the movie. To quote the late great Ron Burgundy "Well that escalated quickly." CM went from single handily beating waves of bad guys and upgrading to beating waves of massive space ships and causing a fleet of Ronan the Accuser's ships to retreat. Then after seeing her demolish gigantic space ships she faces her true enemy in the movie, Jude Law's character, who doesn't have godlike powers. It was like watching someone beat Floyd Mayweather and then having a 4 year old as the next match. Im assuming that was also another joke that fell flat due to its delivery. My biggest complaint was the heavy feminist points. Im ok with the movie being having a strong female character, but when the movie constantly throws it in your face "hey! men are douches" or "did you see how rude that MAN was??" It was a bit annoying and took me out of the movie and felt as if I was watching CNN. I was waiting for a gender pay gap reference by the end of the movie. This movie had potential to be a good movie, but it feels like a lot of it's problem was the execution or delivery. The end credit scenes were just bland, important, but bland. How CM just pops up behind Black Widow and in this Ben Stein voice asks "Where's Fury?" was comical, to me. The second end credit scene was drawn out and predictable. When the movie ended I already figured out the end credit scene would be the cat coughing it up and that's exactly what happened. The movie definitely feels like a somewhere in the middle kind of movie. It did not live up to expectation or to the Marvel name.… Expand

The movie is just plain old boring and Brie Larson (outside behavior aside) is simply wooden and lacks chemistry with her fellow actors and actresses. More than once I was left with the feeling that I was supposed to find a one-liner funny, but she just lacked the comedic timing. The side characters fared better - with the exception of Jude Law, what happened to you buddy? - and I especially enjoyed Jackson and Mendelsohn. The overlying theme of female empowerment is pretty evident throughout the entire film, with overt sexist remarks and most of the men in Veers' life telling her to slow down and 'stop being so emotional', a theme that reaches supreme eyeroll levels near the end during the No Doubt scene, you will know it when you see it. After 20 Marvel movies I have certain expectations of being entertained, the movie failed miserably in this one task. 2/10 from me.… Expand

Tune in if you want to see the PR folks lying about Brie Larson doing her stunts like the next Tom Cruise, even though she has two stunt doubles, lying about her training 4 hours a day for 9 months even though she can't perform 1/6 the number of pull ups the world record holder in her class - a teenage girl - can, or to hear ex-tumblr feminists put words into her mouth that she is hardly even implying. You may also see a generic bad superhero movie with canned action sequences cut like sashimi, an overabundance of wire-fu and a stifling, cure-for-insomnia protagonist that audiences would have you believe is no more stoic than Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man or Ant-Man. Anencephalous audiences only.… Expand
