How the hell did she get oscars. She's awful, monotone acting and will never be if she don't start to learn proper acting again. But i also blame the directors for poor direction and poor writing.
Oh yeah subtle feminist agenda

I had super low expectations but wow, another awful movie. I liked Avengers so thought maybe this one may be ok. Worst Marvel movie ever made.

I liked Avengers so thought maybe this one may be ok. Worst Marvel movie ever made. Brie was not a poor cast and her character ruined it for me. The whole Girl Power which semester to be hollywood snow thing, is just killing me and I am a female! Her over confidence , constant smirks and joking around just threw me off.
1. The music...they play I’m just a Girl by Gwen Stefani!!!!! U kidding me? How horrific! Who is directing this? They should be fired. 2. The constant attempt at jokes just which didn’t and doesn’t work
3. Brie’s one dimensional acting and inability to show emotions just ruined this powerful character! That’s also the director she fault, they should see that she can’t deliver on screen and have her fix it. 4. At some point Brie realized she can fly!!! And screams and yells Yay..whoohooo as she going through rocks and punching space shuttles! What we we 5 yrs old?
5. The feminism is just way too forced! Hollywood please stop pushing this down on us. It’s too much, you are ruining movies with it!! Just stop.
Movie is soooo weak. I will not see a second one with her in it.

So it only gets a 3.
In Endgame it wasnt possible to run this self-deception about her anymore, because she completely ticked out, as if it was a completely different character all of the sudden... as if she was put into a cage for 3 years and treated horribly by her captors and of course completely invulnerable and more powerful than EVERY super hero combined. Just unbelievably silly. Even She-Ra and He-Man has more weaknesses than her, and more importantly, they were much more human-like, not like a robot trying to indoctrinate people (actually mostly children, which is even worse) with SJW fascism. And after seeing interviews with the actress, it completely destroyed that self deception, when seeing the movie again. Even her coworkers dont seem to like her much.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain Marvel isn’t just a cookie cutter Marvel origin story. It’s focus on autopsy and self knowledge makes it a storyline that is tailor made for a different kind of hero and a different kind of audience. A lot of the villainy of the film has to do with control of female power through gaslighting and other forms of deception. Carol’s recognition of her own power and her conscious moral alignment with the downtrodden is central to the drama of this story.

Captain Marvel is a bit of a slog for the first half of the movie. Vers is amnesiac and a little bit neutered, and the conflict between the Kree and a race of watermelon/chameleon (or “watermeleon”) people manages to be both confusing and yet unoriginal. The story warms up in the second half–the fight scenes are played for laughs. It’s where Brie Larson’s understated swagger and impish braggadocio best fit her physicality. The flashback scene in which the shapeshifters spin through Vers’s memory like an amateur DJ is visually interesting way to tell backstory, because it’s not quite a passive learning experience. There seems like there’s room for an unreliable narrator and some manipulation of people and places and events, and the unsettling commentary overlaid and Vers’s unsettled expression ups the creep-factor.

There are some confusing aspects to the movie and its got a few disappointments. Spoilers.

Confusing: Why is she called Captain Marvel? Do we at any point have foreshadowing that what the one guy finds at the lab is actually why they’ve come? Because everyone looks pretty surprised except Carol, who seems like she’s figured it out. And then the wife’s explanation is equally unsuitable and vague.

Disappointing: the iconic scene from the trailer that you’re hoping is a super cut, Dunkirk-style, of three separate storylines, is, in fact, actually a single moment where three scenes we’ve never witnessed at any other part of the film are spliced together to make for a faux-meaningful moment of the resilience of women/humanity getting back up after they’ve been knocked down. What was so traumatizing on that day at the beach when she was four years old that it’s lodged in her memory at that life-or-death moment in the climax? Why is her strained relationship with her parents so generically bad? Why does no one shoot Carol in the head while she’s being restrained by the AI overlord of the Kree? Also, why does the Kree have an AI overlord and then also that other dude in the hood calling the shots? Where’s the flow chart for this organization?

I’m not entirely certain that this film would hold up to multiple viewings. It seems like the major twist and a lot of the gags are visual jokes that rely on an unexpected component of identity being shifted. That being said, I wouldn’t discourage anyone from finding out. I’ll see you on the other end of my extended break in Europe. Have a lovely March!

This movie was utter trash it was filled with fourth wave feminist propaganda and also the writing and the direction of the film fell flat no character development with Carol Danvers at all. This is by far the worst Marvel movie in the MCU due to Disney only pushing for a woke agenda instead of making a good film like they used to the past 10 years. Brie Larson is bad as an actress in this film. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here is a note for future superhero movies, there is a character arc that is needed to have a successful heroes journey. Superpowered warrior to superpowered amnesiac is not a character arc it is flatline. The adversity here is her amnesia? The Kree, her people? Its a muddled mess with a clear pro immigration agenda not paying tribute to anything in the comics and conflates the original hero (Mar-Vell) with Yon-Rogg (villain) that makes any semblance of a story unrecognizable. If you want flashy things going bang then go to a fireworks show, a movie is supposed to be about story and this has a disjointed mess with an unlikeable star. Its a shame because she was likeable in Community and playing a quirky, nerdy girl seems to be her main talent pool-she should have been squirrel girl not Captain Marvel. Someone thought Marvel movies were about explosions and flashy effects when they were missing the real character flaws, acting ability and charm movies need to be successful Expand

During the film she has many action scenes that she claims in interviews to have done herself but upon repeat viewing and outside evidence this appears to not be the case. She claims to wan't to make a movie for "everyone" but in the next breath she **** on 40% of the population and dismisses their point of view with an offhand valley girl-esque remark. I wonder if her portrayal of Captain Marvel is a response to how she views 'patriarchy' and that her "resting female dog-face" has transformed from just being a bad aesthetic into an entire character. Brie Larson as Captain Marvel is the resting **** of comic book superheroes and as such deserves a low rating, much lower than the corrupt critic-class will give anyways.

Cheers.

Captain Marvel is the new arguable marvel movie that follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.
Captain Marvel was actually a fun ride as any marvel movie before; it builds a great origin story for its lead character. If you’re looking to be entertained this is your movie, featuring some good action sequences and Brie Larson in her full badass mode. The fight sequences lacked in some scenes, they weren’t memorable like other marvel movies. I understand that when you have a character as powerful as Carol Danvers in your movie, you might face some difficulties in that aspect. Plus, from a technical perspective there are scenes where you really can’t identify who’s fighting who due to the color aspect and CGI which was buggy. The CGI de-aging tech used on Clark Gregg and Samuel L. Jackson was incredible too! One of the best parts of the movie was Talos played by Ben Mendelsohn who really stole the show with his amazing performance and his important role in the movie, and Goose the cat which is outstanding and very funny at times. The chemistry between Sameul L. Jackson and Brie Larson was perfect, one of the best buddy cop relationships. Looking forward to seeing them on screen together in the future!
The story of the movie took some turns and featured some insane plot twists. It did feel like a Memento-Christopher Nolan movie in some scenes which failed miserably. It is very risky when a character tries to recover their memories and past in films. When a lead character is lost in the movie and their backstory takes too much time to uncover, then viewers would definitely be lost too! As for Carol Danvers’s character,
she was a born bad-ass! But, in almost all MCU movies we see our characters face difficulties in their starting days like Captain America, Iron Man, and Black Panther. All these characters went through a lot to reach there full potentials. But, I can understand that Carol is a very powerful character and it’s very hard to write her better than that. In addition, Captain Marvel doesn’t fail in its core. Marvel succeeds in building an inspiring and interesting character and Captain Marvel broadens the MCU’s history in a very unique way. Now, I’m really hyped to see Brie Larson reprise her role as Carol in Avengers: Endgame, as the movie didn’t impact her character’s purpose in any way.
The music in the movie gave us the 90s feel, and I didn’t think any song was out of place. The soundtrack influenced the movie’s time period and action scenes.
So, we recommend you to go check out Captain Marvel and to form your own opinion. Do not let other haters/critics affect yours!

Captain Marvel has the makings of a great MCU movie. All of the expected elements are here. There's the humor, the action, the sentimentality, and the desire to provide non-stop entertainment. The problem? Its hero is kind of boring.

The story is decent, but at no point fleshes Carol Danvers out as anything more than a basic character archetype. It being the protagonist that tries way too hard to come off as tough and cool. We catch glimpses of earlier stages of her life that portray her as a girl that just wants to prove she can be as strong as the boys, but the snippets only last seconds so there's no real journey for her to go through in order achieve that goal. Danvers starts the movie off as a super powerful hero and ends it the same way. So there's no way for her to grow and endear herself to the audience.

Something is also a little off with Brie Larson's performance. She plays this character very, very woodenly. No real emotion seems to come out. Not even in the more energetic sequences. This stiffness is especially a problem every time they try to make Danvers funny. The jokes and one-liners fed to her simply fall flat on their faces. A shame because some of them could have been great had they not been delivered in such an awkward manner.

Larson shines brightly during the action sequences though. Making for a very believable butt kicker when blows start being traded. You can tell she put a lot of work in. Almost as much work as Marvel put into improving their visuals.

The MCU's CGI has been dodgy for a while now. Looking great in some movies and like total crap in others. Captain Marvel can most definitely be counted in the former camp. A good thing too as so much of it is made up of Guardians of the Galaxy style sci-fi scenery.

With its main hero falling short, it's up to the movie's supporting cast to carry the show. Luckily, Samuel Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn prove up to the task. Jackson is just as entertaining as ever and as much the star of the film as Larson herself. Fury stands beside Danvers every step of the way and he develops a few more layers as a result. Mendelsohn is straight up hilarious. I really want to see his character return at some point because he's a laugh riot. I was also caught off guard with how his arc turned out. It's a pretty big twist that changes the course of the movie. Lashana Lynch is good, but her role ends up being a bit of a disappointment as it solely revolves around being Carol's previously established friend from a time we only get brief flashbacks to. Jude Law isn't given much to do, but he's pretty great whenever he's onscreen.

Captain Marvel ultimately ranks among the mid to low-tier MCU flicks, and it's all because they never allowed Danvers to open up to the audience in the same way the other heroes have. It's still very well made movie with plenty of entertaining moments. It just falls short at what is arguably the biggest reason the MCU has been able to keep going for so long; turning previously established superheroes and their properties into something the masses can actually care about.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I give this 6/10 - it's a okay superhero movie with some strenghs and some weaknessess. What I loved the most was the world building around the Kree's and their mysterious highest leader. I also liked the story and it's different twists, even though they could have done a better job concealing the fact that the Kree are the bad guys. The female-empowerment stuff isn't holding the movie back as much as I thought, but the fighting scene with "I'm just a girl" in the background was one of the cringest moments I've had watching a movie for years. I'm all for adding odd music to scenes for comic purposes (like in Guardians of the Galaxy) but it really didn't work here. Carol is just starting to unpack her powers, and are about to meet her former tutor and his elite crew. There is some serious tension in that moment. And then the song comes on and ruins it all. Some wokeness can also be spotted in the fact that Captain Marvel is a woman, supported by two black characters, and her prime enemy is a white man who is holding her back and telling her to control her emotions. It's all about her realeasing her womanhood powers and breaking with the controlling patriarchy. This theme is not obvious or in your face though. Expand

Jackson looks fantastic and I really enjoyed all of his scenes. The arc of Ben Mendelsohn’s character was unexpected and I’m always a fan of seeing him. The writing in this film is just so basic and boring that it was difficult to enjoy any of the poorly-written characters or uninteresting action sequences. I’m definitely fed up with these Marvel origin stories but I really expected something more exciting from the talent involved. With a superhero this powerful, the action sequences have no tension to them at all. With a superhero this bland, it’s becomes difficult for me to care at all.

Obviously not the best marvel film but it has its moments. Didn't really hit me as a fan of Marvel though, I found it pretty boring at times and just a little dry. The fight scenes are OK but the rest is just cliche and mediocre.

Hopefully sequels will have more depth, but this is female super hero done right. Expand

- Marvel films usually have a number of storyline threads running but never has a film of the scale able to handle its political message so seamlessly. The message put forth by the directors weren’t subtle but they were forced and most importantly they didn’t get in the way of us seeing Captain Marvel just kick some ass.

- The humour for example was there, Ben Mendelson rose to this while I felt Bree Larson could not match the lofty expectations of Tom Holland or Robert Downey Jr.

- Larsons lack of comedic chops did lead on into further issues I had with the performance. Due to the magnitude of the environment at times, I felt Larson was just too small. She has undoubted charisma and I will never deny her talent but I felt she didn’t have the blockbuster presence that is required for a Marvel film, and will be an even bigger issue when she is forced to be part of the ensemble.

- Surprising most of all is the film is not necessarily written (Nicole Perlman, Meg LeFauve, Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck & Genevan Robertson-Dworet) just as an origin piece for Captain Marvel, it also touches on the birth of the Avenger initiative and even for Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg)

- Blockbuster Video is now a history piece

All the controversy surrounding this film is truly just background noise. Let the film speak for itself. The dynamic between Carol and Fury is entertaining, the story itself is engaging, and there’s a cute cat (always a bonus). This film is not only a story about Captain Marvel but a story about the avengers, Nick Fury, and the Kree. It provides context for all other films in the MCU and is undoubtedly an important film to watch if you plan on seeing other Marvel films in the future. I’ve heard people describe Carol as emotionless, but I struggle to see where exactly in the film she is being emotionless. She’s a soldier trying to follow her orders, but the film is about her overcoming barriers and following her heart while also learning the extent of her power. Overall, I would say I enjoyed everything about the film. The 90s set pieces, the beautiful CGI that was added to the fight scenes, the story, and the acting itself. An absolute must-see. Expand

One more Captain has arrived

Yeah it was something like an empty slot between the lifetime of Captain America and the main events where all the Avengers are involved. And here we go, back to 1995, to introduce Ms Captain. Mar-Vel, a superlady with a curious lifepath, full of misteries and amnesia.

Pros. The movie is doing its job as a prequel pretty well. It adds a chunk of prehistory to the Marvel Universe. You can see the connection with the Gardians of the Galaxy, Thor and of course it tells a lot about S.H.I.E.L.D.

Talking about SHIELD. Samuel L Jaekson is absolutely awesome! His young character is so well performed, thanks to makeup team and the actor himself. It's very interesting to see Nick Fury's early age, young and less experienced.

Lol. The Captain Marvel throws few jokes, which are actually not bad. Many characters can make you if not laugh, but at list smile or grin for sure. And it feels much better than when all the funny part accumulated in one person. Being too serious about what's going on is the worst enemy of superhero movies. Along with a lack of a good plot of course.

The scenario is ok. It is interesting to watch, and even there are few surprises in it. It is a good thing when a movie can break your expectations a little bit.

Cons. The acting part. Particularly, Brie Larson and Jude Law. It is not like too bad.. But I just don't see those roles suit them. Brie makes me believe she is a girl from Earth, but I don't know... Maybe lack of charisma, or something else do not let me see her as a right Captain Marvel. With Jude Law it is even harder. Noone can tell he is not charismatic. But I just don't see him in fantastic genre at all.

The battles. Somebody behind the scenes give some help for the good guys. Seriously, why not to give more natural look to all those fights. Why antagonists prefer talking instead of trying to kill when they have a chance? Agh.

Anyway. Still if you are a Marvel fan, you should watch it. I find it somewhere in the middle between good and bad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a Marvel movie, it's watchable, and there are some good moments in it. The trademark Marvel humor is there and the special effects are decent. However, the worst part of this movie is Captain Marvel. She's arrogant, unrelatable, and has no character arc whatsoever. In other Marvel movies, the hero has THAT moment of humbleness and humility that turns them into a hero. There is no such moment for Captain Marvel. Apparently she has always been an awesome person and becomes even more awesome once she realizes that she's being held back from her full potential. I miss Tony Stark already... Expand

"I've had better nightmares."
.
( 71/100 )

No hay mucho que discutir de Captain Marvel con Brie Larson como protagonista. Carol Denvers es parte de un fuerza militar élite Kree en la que Yon-Rogg, interpretado por Jude Law, ayuda a Carol a controlar sus poderes e impulsos y, al mismo tiempo, es entrenada para luchar una guerra en contra de los Skrulls. Pero una misión en el planeta Tierra, que provoca misterios y revelaciones, ayuda a Carol a descubrir su verdadero ser y poder. Al igual que todas o la mayoría de las peliculas del MCU, no hay un impulso dramático muy importante o que valga la pena. En cuestión de la historia, me atrevería a decir que es una de las películas más monótonas que recuerdo de Marvel. Su error está en que trata de sensibilizar al público en temas que conocemos muy poco y, al mismo tiempo, lo hace de forma muy diplomática. Esta es una película algo política con un discurso de inclusión con el que el público no podrá empatizar adecuadamente; no por la falta de valor en el mensaje, sino por la falta de trasfondo y lo que ignora la protagonista y, con ella, el público. Irónicamente, eso ayuda a que la moraleja reluzca y, cuando es necesario, crear intensidad emocional. La película tiene éxito en mostrar a un personaje que es fuerte por ser humano y no por sus poderes habilidades. Visualmente no es la película más espectacular de Marvel, incluso si omitimos las películas de Avengers y la música, compuesta por Pinar Toprak, resalta y apoya un poco la emotividad en el proyecto. Si me gustó más de lo que me gustaría aceptar es por la misma moraleja y que Larson la personifica con seguridad, autoconfianza e individualidad, valores con los que me identifico plenamente pero que, desafortunadamente, no se construyen bien en Captain Marvel.

There's not a lot to discuss of Captain Marvel with Brie Larson as the protagonist. Carol Denvers is part of a Kree military elite force in which Yon-Rogg, played by Jude Law, helps Carol to manage her powers and impulses and, at the same time, is trained to fight a war against the Skrulls. But a mission on planet Earth, that brings into light mysteries and revelations, helps Carol to discover her true self and power. Just as all or most of the MCU movies, there's not a very important or worthy dramatic impulse. Talking about the story, I would dare to say this is one of the most monotone movies of Marvel that I can recall. Its mistake it's in how it tries to sensitize the public in topics we know little and, at the same time, it does it in a very diplomatic way. This is a kind of politic film with a speech about inclusion with which the public won't be able to empathize properly; not because of the lack of value in the moral, but because of the lack of background and what the main character and, with her, the public. Ironically, that helps the moral to shine and, when it's necessary, create emotional intensity. The movie succeeds in showing a strong character because of being human and not because of her powers and abilities. Visually it's not the most spectacular movie of Marvel, even if we omit the Avengers movies and the music, composed by Pinar Toprak, highlights and supports a little the emotivity in the project. If I liked it more than what I would like to accept is because the same moral and that Larson personifies it with security, self-confidence, and individuality, values with which I fully relate but, unfortunately, are not well built in Captain Marvel.

Great 90s nostalgia vibe (I know the soundtrack wasn't as well received as the GotG song choices but CM has a solid selection, very appropriate to the era, and let's face it, the 90s was hardly the golden era of music. Good selection all the same). Some fantastic fights, particularly the scene where Carol fights while sprinting through a Skrull ship with her hands trapped and no shoes on! It was comedic but also very well executed, a brawly sort of fight which highlights her impulsive nature but also her brute strength (and this is before she reaches peak-power!). The "flash-back/dream sequence" was very cleverly executed, I liked how Marvel chose to break from their usual linear storytelling and instead Carol's "origin story" plays out backwards (we meet a high-powered amnesiac "Vers" and we work backwards to unravel the mystery of where Carol has come from and who she is. It was an interesting change and well executed in my opinion). The supporting cast are all marvellous, Fury, Coulson, Maria & Monica, Goose, Yon-Rogg and Talos all deliver solid performances. Despite the vocal minority of dissenters, Carol lives up to her hashtag and smashed into cinemas #HigherFurtherFaster than many of her MCU colleagues, breaking $1billion in the box off in the blink of an eye. Well earned and I'm looking forward to seeing her character grow. Expand

Probably a lot of these dudes are the same idiots who enjoy a film like "John Wick."

Captain Marvel, of course, is pretty darn good. As action adventure flicks go, the story is better than most, and it provides enough character, action, and humor to even keep me interested throughout its 124 minute runtime.

If you don't know Captain Marvel's backstory, doesn't matter. I knew nothing about the character going in and if I missed anything as a result I still haven't noticed. OK, well, I'm still wondering about flerkins, but I guess I grasped the main point.

If you like costumed heroes you should definitely give Captain Marvel a look.

And for the guy who called this film a Disney "money grab," just what the heck do YOU think the film industry, or every industry, is all about? Thank you, Captain Obvious lol.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot is all over the place Captain Marvel is a Mary Sue with no character traits besides being always right and arrogant for the sake of feminist being happy. Her arrogance is never treated as a flaw because again she’s always right and it doesn’t help that Nick Fury is dumbed down to a sidekick role and only serves to make jokes and get beat up and the way he loses his eye is beyond a cheap gag and insulting to the character we know and love. Ronan had no reason to be involved except to show how high and mighty CM is. And the movie even states she’s nothing without her powers which is beyond true but then we get a cheap moral done lazily so she wins. What should’ve been an action filled battle with her partner was treated as a joke throwing away all respect I could of had for this movie. The Skrulls being good guys wasn’t foreshadowed at all coming out of the blue for another cheap and mishandled message this time about black people. Overall Captain Marvel was an insult to the entire MCU and I’m disappointed Captain Marvel didn’t die in EndgameEndgamenowhere Expand

One could forgive some of this if the story had any connection for the audience. It's not a "Hero's Journey" story or an "underdog" tale. You just wonder how far her already existing power can go. Dull and forgettable.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie made me fall asleep. The flat acting, the obvious shady practices disney used to inflate it so more people would see it regardless of the sjw vomit that it was, and the most unlikable actress in history all combined to make a level of cringe and terrible picture mak8ng that even Danvers herself couldn't save. From the involuntary groans I made with every boring second she was on the screen, the canon that 15 years of ncu has built be taken away, everything. In this atrocious film, S.I.E.L.D. supposedly was only created after this incident with the Kree, but it was also created in the 40's in every other movie and tv show marvel has produced. The fault was on disney, but mcu allowed this mess to incorporate their name so they are not out of the blame. Every "twist" was predicted, the the trailer showed every scene that you needed to see to know the plot (or what was supposed to be a plot) was going to be lackluster at best and offensive to people that have been waiting for Endgame since IronMan at worst. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If we compare ''Captain Marvel'' with others superheroes movies, we can conclude that ''Captain Marvel'' is the worst character story, all Marvel superheroes movies show the early life of superhero at the beginning, and then how he/she obtains the superpower as a forward story, but ''Captain Marvel'' started backwardly, at the beginning she already has a superpower, but she doesn't remember anything about how she got it, until the end when she finds out how she obtained it. I think the writers made a different a style of superhero movie to surprise the audience with some twist in the story, but they failed because it was a bad twist and no one surprised or impressed, they could make a wonderful, emotional and enjoyable movie if they just make it forward and clear (showing her early life, not as a flashback, until she becomes a "Captain Marvel'').

I read a lot of negative reviews, and I think most audiences hated ''Captain Marvel'' due to many factors:
1- Less action than other Marvel movies.
2- Released after the masterpiece ''Avengers: infinite war'', so all marvel audience were expecting same or more from ''Captain Marvel.''
3- Her power wasn't special, it's almost like '''Superman.''
4- Lack of humor.
5- Not following straight forward story as same as other superhero movies.

Finally, ''Captain Marvel' is just a TV movie, not good and not bad, if you are one of marvel audience you will not like it, but if you just want to watch a superhero movie maybe you will enjoy a little.

This film is the simple of the heroes movies. That's no bad, the relationship of the caracters is funny, Brie Larsson just do it and actually she's killed it. Samuel and the cat are awsome and they show what we wanna see.

Terrible. Across the board. I'm convinced the controversy was just a marketing plan to offset early screening disappointment. Nothing is good about this. Even the 90s nostalgia is pandering.

I'm still scratching my head over her oscar win. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of my favorite movies of 2019, one of my favorite Marvel movies, one of my favorite superhero movies, and one of my favorite movies of all time. Brie Larson's leading performance as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel was stupendous she was funny, serious, and awesome. Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, and Lashana Lynch also gave fantastic performances. I loved Goose the cat aka Goose the Flerken he was cute and awesome. The visual effects were spectacularly incredible especially the de-aging of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, all of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel's powers, and Goose the cat when he used his abilities as a Flerken. The makeup and hair styling was terrific especially on the Skrulls. The costume designs were amazing especially Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel's. The music featured in the movie was wonderful but sometimes the songs didn't quite fit the scenes they were in. The writing, story, and screenplay were great. This was an A+ movie. Expand

You know how when you smoke a cigar you get that turd-like taste in your mouth? That was this film. It's a real **** sandwich.

The absolute state of this movie.

I didn't have high hopes going in, but I thought I'd give it a fair shake. Maybe it was more than a paean to pretty white girl power, right? Maybe they just made a fun popcorn movie, or perhaps it explores
The absolute state of this movie.

I didn't have high hopes going in, but I thought I'd give it a fair shake. Maybe it was more than a paean to pretty white girl power, right? Maybe they just made a fun popcorn movie, or perhaps it explores some original tropes. Conceivably it might even feature the high quality of acting of which Oscar winner Brie Larson (real name Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers) is apparently capable (although I'm informed that her previous movies are Not Made For Me, so I haven't seen any).

Nope. A big, flat-assed nope.

It's cringe from start to finish. Larson (real name Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers) has a blank expression on her face which is intended to convey... what? I have no idea. That she's bored with the whole thing? Well, me too. The few brief scenes where she changes that expression just highlight that she's got her Resting Bored Face on for the entirity of the rest of the movie.

She's not interesting, she's not appealling, she's brings no depth or complexity or even personality to the character.

And as the movie is entirely about her, what does that leave us?

The score and cinematography, which is pedestrian. The CGI which is frankly shoddy, although even CGI-Jackson acts Larson (real name Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers) off the screen. Mind you, so does the cat.

The pacing is all over the place, both plodding and rushed. It feels like a much longer movie than it actually is. The last twentyu minutes is the most tolerable, but in terms of character development, it's simply super-powered pretty white girl becomes SUPER super-powered pretty white girl. But we're given no reason to care.

There are a few clumsy stabs at The Patriarchy, but not enough to condemn it purely on that basis. No, I condemn it because it's a dull, poorly written, badly made and disastrously cast movie.

You know what I was thinking of all the way through this disaster? Howard the Duck. How I'd rather be watching Howard the Duck. Weird, but true.

This is probably in the top 5 Marvel movies, it is great. Brie Larson may be a strange person out of the screen but inside the screen she has charisma, lovability and awesome acting skills. She did an incredible job as Carol Denvers. A must watch. You have Spider man, Iron Man, Ant man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, man, man, man etc, etc... Then they release a 1 title very focused on a woman. Male public TRIGGERED..., start collective witch hunt and destroys reviews. C'mon boys, grow up, this movie is amazing. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie unbiased. However, I did hear good and bad reviews from many sources. I feel that this movie is well below the standard for Marvel movies, but then again we were subjected to X-Men. All in all this was a mediocre movie that had a lot of predictable situations. There was pretty much one shock moment, but it wasn't even that significant. It wasn't built upon and the shock was delivered in such a way that you didn't really care. This movie is a one-time watch and I would recommend this movie if you are bored, or if you are on an airplane. Otherwise, there isn't a great reason to watch this movie. Lastly, how this movie was shoehorned into Endgame was offensive. Had this movie delivered on all fronts, then I would be all for it, but it did not.

The beginning was awfully slow. Carol just crash lands into a blockbuster, but without hesitation immediately hijacks a telephone to communicate to her very distant team. Doesn't make any sense if you think about it. If she needed to communicate locally (on Earth) then that is one thing, but she was communicating through the vastness of space. This is not on the character Carol, this is specifically on the director of this film. In combination to this the chase felt empty, like it was fit in just as a filler, but then the slight twist of the Skrull; which again kind of was just there. So they could have delivered a more solid intro to the Skrull and what the are capable of.

Next would be the sub-par humor. Although, some parts were okay, but for the most part it felt like lines were added at the last moment - "oh, let's add X here because it sounds good" which it was meh at best.

The cat and Nick Fury was more annoying, overplayed, and forced. It became obnoxious and I really wanted to skip over those parts. There were a couple shots were it was incredibly extended and cringy. I hate to use the term "cringe" but it fits like a glove in this situation. The addition to this cat thing, omg how Nick Fury lost his eye is beyond disappointing and utterly stupid - can't say anymore because I will become frustrated.

One key theme about this entire movie is Carol does not experience failure at all. She has small struggles, but nothing similar to a good story. In fact, these minor struggles she goes through aren't relatable. Towards the end she is literally the female version of Superman, without the failures and significant struggles. I also noticed that the music was GOD AWFUL. The terrible music caused more harm to a couple fight scenes than did good. It completely put me off. It was definitely pre-sec elected for this film because it just did not fit at all, for the movie and especially for the moment.

The antagonist(s) in this movie. What? Who? Yeah, they weren't even powerful or nearly gave Carol a run for her money. Completely underwhelming. There were two points in the film I thought a decent fight was going to happen, but nope. Yon-Rogg challenged her and she took the coward way out. Then Ronan appeared, then he disappeared. Like.. come on!

Mar Vel in the 80's was male. Why all of a sudden is Mar Vel a woman? I dunno. I minor thing, but please stick to the story. The last negative part is Brie Larson. I just did not feel it. It was like a bread stick attempting to dance. She brought no charisma or excitement into the role. Had it been Gal Gadot, this movie would have been much much different.

There is a lot of negativity here, but the good was the graphics. They were outstanding and how Carol looked in full power mode was pretty sick. Also, the teal color to the weapons were awesome too.

I truly do wish I could add to the positive paragraph above, but there really isn't much else I can add. :(

To wrap up, I will be generous here and give this movie a 4/10, but I really want to lean towards a 3/10. Watch it if you are bored, but skip out on the popcorn.

Not Marvels best work just like Black Panther, it was watchable but only once. I didn't much care for some of the red conning basically all things that had to do with Fury.
While the movie was not god awful it felt Meh, the CGI was vomit
Not Marvels best work just like Black Panther, it was watchable but only once. I didn't much care for some of the red conning basically all things that had to do with Fury.
While the movie was not god awful it felt Meh, the CGI was vomit inducing at few points feels like they gave that job to the e-team, the acting was so stiff at points that I thought the actors were planks of wood. Especially Brie after she unleashed her powers she just felt like a tabula rasa, and not to mention she was both powerful but also weak pretty much the same as in Avengers Endgame. I think the writers have no idea how to write her character and her powers.
The feminists points were annoying but luckily there weren't too many but every time there was it wasn't well executed like in Wonder Woman, it was forced and I doubt anyone truly related to her because of that. Reason mostly being that the arrogance of Capt Marvel was off the charts similar to Tony Stark, but unlike Tony she never had as powerful of a scene of the "Oh my God, what have I done" she didn't feel really regretful of killing the Skrulls. She had about 10 second scene where she had the Hollywood "sexy cry" moment but then she just thought okay, time to kill some Kree next without any mercy or remorse. Could have this ever been done as a good movie? Probably not, because even in the comic world Capt Marvel isn't a much liked character due to her tendency to jump into conclusions and getting characters killed and acting like she is the boss so to say.
In the end, Meh movie wouldn't watch it again and honestly there is no reason for anyone to watch this since it doesn't add anything to Endgame.

Probably the worst MCU film, "Captain Marvel" is a mediocre movie, only saved by Samuel L. Jackson's and Clark Gregg's well established characters.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes, I Actually Like This Movie
Oh dear I’m going to p*ss off a lot of people with this review. I honestly didn’t have a ton of problems with this movie. And before you call me an SJW or anything like that. I am a conservative person who happened to enjoy this movie. I understand that you’re exhausted of politics in film, But vote rigging down the “Want To See” score on Rotten Tomatoes is not going to fix anything and is a bit unfair. But that’s not the point of this review (I had to say it to give the fans a message), The story while not perfect is decently written and the performances of Jackson and Mendelson are terrific (Though Larson is decent).
