Strong performances all around, Brie shining the brightest. This movie represents a coherent and logical progression in the MCUas well.

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

Larson came across as the sarcastic tomboy or logical alien depending upon your point of view. However, her chemistry with Samuel L. Jackson was what was priceless. She wasn't a Mary Sue character and fun to go on this journey with as a character. It definitely made me excited as a Marvel fan and 90s admirer. The soundtrack was perfect. And got me teary-eyed seeing Stan Lee on his last movie cameo for Marvel movies. Overall bravo and will easily watch this in the future like the rest of it's Marvel family.… Expand

Great chemistry between SLJ and basically everyone, despite the reports of a flat performance, Brie (particularly opposite Jude Law) did very well. As for the so-called feminist narrative, it was far more organically presented than in sister heroine flick Wonder Woman, who's "oops you underestimated me because Im a woman" grew stale quickly, but in Captain Marvel I find myself rooting for Carol purely based of her own character and arc, and the fact that shes a woman fits naturally in why she is where and who she is.

The atmosphere of the film is a bit odd but in a strangely good way, especially the skrull or lets say talos.

Fury and Coulson serve as a good background story for SHIELDs development, and Goose puts the cherry on top of the movie.

Additionally, and this defies all logic, they simply did not want a female led superhero film from Marvel.

Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury is hilarious, and I really liked the friendship between Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau (played by Lashana Lynch). The 90's references are fun to watch, as are the dog fights and some of the melee battles. My biggest problems are twofold. First, the movie has tense points up until Captain Marvel regains all of her powers at which point it gets ridiculous. Secondly, they take the female empowerment message a little too far with some snide comments against men in general. Yeah, I get it it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

I was skeptical because the trailers were pure trash, but this is a pretty fun, if slight, MCU origin story.

Yeah I liked it. Brie was in top shape and Samuel LJ was great as (almost) always. Jude Law was surprisingly good. CGI, plot and everything about movie was good. Dont listen to the haters. Go see it, NOW !

I have heard that that main actress of this film has no interested in the opinions of my kind, but ill give it anyway.. This was easily the worst origins story there has been, Carol is very hard to like or sympathize with as she apparently is just perfect and unstoppable, giving the character nothing for the viewer to relate to on a human level. Basically the whole movie is a paint by numbers, cookie cutter action hero film, drenched with ideological politics, designed to indoctrinate young girls into a culture of men hate and excess self importance (modern day feminism) it dosent make for a good film and its the first step in the end of the MCU. Oh But the cat was OK, it a cat! they needed something likable in the film. Its a shame because after Brie Larson last few films I was becoming a huge fan of hers, she was the best part in 21 jump Street and Room was just an incredible film that sticks with me to this day.. But then she has to show who she really was, publicly letting me know that she hates me and other like me, simply because of the race and gender I was born with.… Expand

Captain Marvel has been getting a lot of hate for some reason. Some people don’t want to see the movie because they think it has an uber social justice warrior stink about it, but that can’t be further from the truth. Does Captain MarvelCaptain Marvel has been getting a lot of hate for some reason. Some people don’t want to see the movie because they think it has an uber social justice warrior stink about it, but that can’t be further from the truth. Does Captain Marvel say women can do anything men can do in the Marvel universe? Yes. But so does Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Infinity Crusade. Does Captain Marvel have potentially the most powerful female character so far? Yes, but the power is not her own. It is acquired. Does Captain Marvel spit on men and make them out to be total losers? Hell no. Captain Marvel is a movie about a female superhero who wants help from those around her, and it’s probably the best female superhero movie I’ve ever seen, even if there were a few issues with it storywise. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) is a member of the Kree Starforce who are on a militaristic bent to wipe out everything in the universe that isn’t Kree. They are ruled over by the Supreme Intelligence, a computer system that run the empire. The military works with the Accusers, fanatics who do a lot of dirty things to keep the empire in order. Carol—or Vers, as she is called by her colleagues—works under Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), a man who is trying to bring out the best warrior he can in Vers, only she keeps relying on power that the Kree don’t understand and don’t want her to use unless it’s for their cause. On a mission with the others to track down and destroy some Skrulls, Vers is captured and subjected to a memory probe that shows her a planet she doesn’t know. She escapes and crash lands on said planet, Earth, where she meets Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, and they help her discover what is going on. Captain Marvel has a lot going for it, but the weakest thing is probably the script. The script is far from horrible, but it could have dealt with another rewrite. And while there were no plot holes that I noticed, the story overall was a fun sci-fi adventure in the Marvel Universe that really did not feel connected to the rest of the current Marvel Cinematic Universe—even with the post-credit scenes—much the way The Incredible Hulk and Guardians of the Galaxy really don't feel connected to the MCU but are. But I was happy that the writers did take a moment to explain why the Kree Supreme Intelligence looks the way it does in the film instead of just angering fans because it’s not a giant head. And while Brie Larson is a great-looking Captain Marvel, she just did not feel authentic in the role. That might change upon more watches, but for now, I’m not unhappy with her, but I think another actor choice might have been better. I feel the same for Ben Mendelsohn, who I really like as an actor, but who I felt was completely out of place in the MCU in general. However, the rest of the cast was stellar, from Jude Law to the de-aged Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg. Both seemed completely at home, though Clark Gregg seemed a little weird to me, but it might have just been because he had hair in the movie. And no one can forget Goose. The special effects in the movie were stunning. The space battles were great (and thankfully not too many of them), and the de-aging effects were better than I’ve ever seen. Samuel L. Jackson looks just like he did in 1995. And the costume and the way they made Captain Marvel glow was awesome to see. Everything made the movie feel like a Marvel movie, even if the script didn’t completely make it feel like it belonged. Overall, Captain Marvel is definitely a movie to see in the theater and pick up on blu-ray. It’s not boring. The pacing wasn’t off, and there are no dull spots. There was also no man-bashing or “I am woman, hear me roar” in it. Special effects were good, and there were a few surprising moments. The directors did a good job with the movie, but Captain Marvel might have been better served with better directors and perhaps a better actor for the main character. And opinions regarding Brie Larson can change after another viewing.… Expand

If you want a movie version of the comic, this isn't it. But as a movie and an extension of the MCU, I really enjoyed it. Some have described Brie Larson as wooden and laconic. Have you met a female fighter pilot? I think she just about nailed it. I saw a lot of people saying there were a bunch of "yay feminism" moments. I disagree. I didn't think there were any "in your face" moments like that at all. It certainly celebrates that the lead character is a woman, but it didn't treat the character differently because of it and didn't demonize men at all.… Expand

She was the perfect choice as far as I'm concerned, as she brought just the right emotion, confidence, wits, and so much more to the character! Her powers and origin story are beyond impressive, and I found myself cheering for her from start to finish! Some other returning MCU characters, such as Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson, etc. also made this all the more fun to watch. Furthermore, there's something here for just about everybody to enjoy, but 90s kids such as myself ought to really appreciate the soundtrack and references from the era throughout! Overall, this is undoubtedly another solid entry in the MCU, and more than lives up to the expectations it had with being the first female-lead MCU film thanks to the light-hearted and humorous fun we've come to expect from most MCU films, but most of all thanks to Brie Larson's all-around awesome performance and charisma!… Expand

I think it is an entertaining movie with some flaws but definitely good. Back then I had no interest because we wanted to see the conclusion after Infinity War and Captain Marvel had not much appeal similar to the comics (Miss Marvel would be better). I like the story with the good twists, the characters or better said the interactions, the Flerken and action sequences. There are some weaknesses too. Nick Furry is a bit out of character (but still really good), Carols character could be a bit more flashed out by the script (Also works well and won me over) and her Kree teammates are uninteresting or better said mostly wasted. Lets say there is no compelling villain in the movie but this was nearly a standard in the MCU but is now fixed. The story is set before the events of the other Marvel movies in 1995. The alien Kree empire is at war with the Skrulls which have impressive shape shifting abilities. An elite group of Kree warriors is sent on a mission. This is the crucial test for the member Vers to proof herself. She had amnesia after a past mission and struggles with this a flashes of past memories. However things will get far more different than anyone expected. Like I said the story works well and was entertaining. The twists are good even if 1 or 2 things are far foreseeable. For an introduction movie it is definitely a better one. The characters are enhancing the movie. Brie Larson as Captain Marvel works well. Maybe they could improve the script more for her but the criticism for her role and acting is not valid for me. Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury. He is a bit different than before but so enjoyable that I don't mind. Be warned others were more offended than me about this. Of cause Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson is always a plus. He is one of my favorite characters and I would recommend the first 3 seasons of Agent of Shield by the way. Other than those I praise Ben Mendelsohn as Talos who is amazing, Lahana Lynch as Maria Rambeau, both actors who play her daughter Monica Rambeau and Jude Law as Yon Rogg but he is woften eakened by the script. The cast is in total a positive asset but sometimes weakened by the script. The humor works well but to be fair cant keep up with the more humorous Marvel movies. The Flerken is interesting but I think this is just a normal cat that does not hide the true self like all the others ;-). The special effects are top notch as always and I repeat that this is no issue in the MCU. Overall while not one of the best Marvel movies this is not a failure. I was thinking of a 7-8/10 but think a 7 is maybe too low. Lets say I rounded it up to an 8/10.… 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 ofc 1 point lost for being a popcorn-movie and not having the kind of depth and character development some other superhero shows have shown possible (Unbreakable or Jessica Jones the series).

As already noted by others, the man-babies are already all over this one, trashing its rating like that's going to make a difference. I think many of us have already learned to give even more attention to these not-white-male-glorifying shows if they end up having obviously manipulated low ratings like this - it's becoming a positive sign in itself. :))… Expand

Then half way throughFair review despite the politicization. The movie appears rushed. The first half of it was really mediocre, the dialogue was awkward, with no coherent flow and the acting was flat and uninspiring with the main heroes. Then half way through it's like they switched directors and you start loving the characters and actually want them to win. I assure you the last half is really good, I wanted to stand up and cheer but there was just 5 other people at the matinee. If you have been watching the other Marvel movies you are not going to want to miss this.

This movie is a 5-8. Peoples feelings about this movie are highly politicized because of Bree's comments but the movie did not appear to reflect those views. It is unfortunate that the beginning was so rushed, or whatever happened because I would really like to see a sequel done right.… Expand

I was with you on The Last Jedi, and agree it totally ruins Star Wars. That’s where our similaritiesOh geez, looks like the “fandom” is out in force in the user reviews. Couldn’t wait to get in here and have your collective voices known. I was with you on The Last Jedi, and agree it totally ruins Star Wars. That’s where our similarities end. To watch the “fandom” backlash against this movie and this actress begin months before it was even released because Larson didn’t fit your mold of what a female lead heroine should act and look like was very eye opening for me. “The Fandom”, as you like to be called... you are what they thought you were. Don’t sit here recite action movies where you enjoyed the female lead to prove your point. Wonder Woman? Ellen Ripley? Sarah Connor? Alita? Here is food for thought: in the Captain Marvel trailers, if Larson was in the super sexy Ms Marvel outfit kicking ass instead of the butchy captain marvel suit, I bet most of you wouldn’t have much to say. A little t&a makes the blues go away. If they would have stuffed Gal Gadot into a cover-all suit the entire film, you guys would have lost your collective sh*t. Look, it’s ok to not like an actress. It’s ok not to like a character. It’s okay to not like what an actress says or that she doesn’t smile enough. But you have to ask yourself, are any of these things worthy of the level of effort and collective hatred it has taken by the “fandom” to let the world know it didn’t like this non-smiling bit*h and her lame character. Seriously. Why?? Oh I know, you are trying to save Marvel from Disney and not make Marvel SJW.

Well guess what? The movie is good. The actress is good. The story is good. It’s absolutley NOT SJW, no more so than the original Star Wars a New Hope where the princess mocked her male saviors for the entire second act.

I’m not saying you have to like the movie. If you didn’t that’s fine. But at least give the movie an honest score. Giving out 1’s and 2’s just to have your voice heard and claim some type of moral victory. You know, as a group, the “fandom” could use their collective voice for truly noble protests and invoke change. Instead we have a collective group of fans, predominantly male, who have nothing better to do with their time but complain for months adnaseum about a frickin actress not being smiley enough in a trailer for a character they apparent hate anyways. Oh, BTW, you and Brie Larson have the same enemies. You know, the middle aged, male, white critics that shredded Alita? Yeah, the very same ones! The irony is amazing.

At the moment I’m posting this review, Captain Marvel is sitting at $153 million domestic and $455 million globally for opening weekend. So go on, keep posting 1’s and 2’s while you know each and every one of you paid to see the movie this weekend, and despite being prepared to hate it, you actually found it was pretty good. Shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone. Just be a loyal sheep to the “fandom” and post a score of 2 on metacritic. I liked the movie a lot. I love the Marvel cosmic universe and this movie captures it beautifully. To see “Vers” overcome her captors and become a true omega level hero was pretty epic. Cmon guys, you have to at least admit that. This movie did not “derail” the Marvel machine as the “fandom” had predicted. Its not the overtly feminist, man shaming film you predicted either. It’s just another Marvel origin story brought to film, with just enough girl power stuff in it to make it right. Can’t wait for Endgame now. And in the future how The X-men are introduced to the Avengers. Exciting times to be a comics fan that grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, getting to see these characters brought to life.… Expand

Maybe because of the perceived political pandering ("Captain SJW" - LOL, neckbeards are funny). I honestly enjoyed this MCU flick more than Iron Man 2, Thor: The Dark World, and Ant Man & The Wasp, all of which seem highly negligible to the MCU in comparison to this entry. The movie had a fun sci-fi vibe with a retro 90's feel. Lots of hilarious punchlines, and some great supporting roles.
Was Brie Larson the best actress for the part? That's the question burning everyone's mind as they venture to the cinema for this female-led adventure, which is a first in the Marvel universe. I feel that someone better COULD have been chosen but it's always hard to say exactly who. Comic book fans have a grandiose vision of their favorite heroes built up in their minds and it's literally impossible to appeal to everyone's taste. I can certainly imagine actresses who would be WORSE at this role, but it's a real head-scratcher to think about who might actually do BETTER. More than likely a relatively unknown actress would've been the only choice left, but that's obviously not a gamble that a major film studio would be willing to take.
With that being said I still feel Brie handled the role pretty well. I had low expectations going in, and her snarky attitude is almost too much to take in at times, but she made the performance convincing enough for me to suspend my imagination.
Aside from the controversy over the lead actress and the stupid political debate (I'm genuinely sick of politics infecting every aspect of our society... movies are just supposed to be fun), the film was just a fun ride from start to finish. It was truly epic seeing Captain Marvel in her full glory tearing everything apart. Sure, it might not rank up there with some of the better films in the MCU but it's definitely a solid entry and it has me hyped up for Avengers: Endgame now.… 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

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

Much like Carol's comic book history, the plot of the film is complicated, more than it should be. The first half of the film is a write-off... for an alien warrior without a past, Larson plays Danvers bafflingly chipper and flighty and we're given a tonally bizarre 90s buddy cop (which appears to be the sole reason the film is set in the 90s, by the way).
However, the second half is where the film shines. Interesting (though again, complicated) plot twists, mind-blowing fights and an amazing message of empowerment that will have you cheering. Move over Mr. Rogers, there's a new Captain in town!… Expand

After the first act he can pretty much be taken out completely. His character is really only there to bind the rest of the MCU together. The whole thing related to how he lost his eye... I wanted to give this movie a Zero. I feel so betrayed by the writers, but ignoring Fury, and the small mishaps, this movie is Actually pretty good. The lead feels out of place almost. She tried to do what works in other super-hero comics/movies rather than own it herself. She makes half baked attempts at quips mid-fight that mostly just leave me wishing they were taken out. This is not Deadpool. This is not Iron man. This is not Spider-man. I felt the comedy that the lead character had was pretty empty. That said, I felt she did a fantastic job As capt Marvel. The character itself has such a wide range of feelings throughout. She had some misses, but enough hits to make up for it. Did she Embody the role of Capt Marvel? Well, no. But she did do a Good enough job. Only other thing I really did not like, was the Kree. Kree find guns as a coward's weapon. We see this materialized in Agents of Shield even. Kree Mock humans for using guns literally all the time... but in this movie... guess what? Kree use guns. like a lot of guns. Feels like a mishap in the writing more than anything, which, again, makes me pretty annoyed with the writers. Are the writers Disney hires even fans of the nerd universe they are writing In? Apart from those, The Scrull were Amazing. The mid-movie twists were Very, Very good, and true to the universe. The Comedy was Mostly spot on, and I did Not like Ragnarok because they threw literally everything at the viewers hoping Something would land. The action was good, albeit the ending climatic fight Was a little short. I would Love to see more of Capt Marvel and her journey, pre Endgame. In short, was the movie the greatest MCU movie made? No. Was it the greatest single hero MCU hero? Well, no. Was it the worst? Definitely not. It is a Solid Entry into the MCU and I welcome it. However, they did mess up an established story of one of the infinity stones and I now need answers. lots of answers. How did it get there? Why did it get there? like what do you mean?!?!… Expand

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.
