I think it’s worth starting with the acting of Brie Larson. I think she is a talented actress (see “The Room”), but in this case it’s not her role. It is not even her fault. Rather, the claim to the director who saw it. Now move on to itI think it’s worth starting with the acting of Brie Larson. I think she is a talented actress (see “The Room”), but in this case it’s not her role. It is not even her fault. Rather, the claim to the director who saw it. Now move on to it smoothly. There are certainly a lot of good ideas in this film, but with poor implementation. The whole movie is literally crammed with silly and inappropriate jokes. And what they did with Fury ... My opinion about the Fury Character has been since the first Iron Man film appeared. He always seemed serious, wise, judicious, moderately strict and decisive. What did I see in Captain Marvel? From Fury, trying to make a jester that does not go in favor of the film. I do not want to talk only about cons.
The film is and what to praise. Good spirit of the 80s. Feeling as if throughout the film, he does not leave you. And even in space in the ship you can see various slot machines and various attributes of the time.
Also separately I want to skzat about a cat "Goose". Released in full colorful character. But nightmares will follow me for a long time after seeing a not quite high-quality CGI of cat.
On this I will finish. Thanks for reading this.… Expand

The negatives:-

The movie feels very much like a phase one film, ten years to late and out of place among the impressive changes Disney has made to the recent incarnations. If Captain Marvel is to be the face of the Marvel franchise then urgent work must be taken to correct course - recast if necessary and for the love of god seek advice from Patty Jenkins and the wonder women team.… Expand

But Hollywood and Marvel have decided to take many of people's favorite works and turn them into PR for the elite establishment- the exact opposite of what the greats I listed were- which were skillful underground challenges to that establishment. The last thing the world needs is superwealthy people taking classics loved by working class and poor people, and telling people how 'real people' are supposed to view them- this is hypocrisy at it's most gross level. It will not last- and no doubt, films like Captain Marvel will mark the low point when the real creatives will emerge, coming out with another generation of great works challenging another establishment pretending to set the bar when really they are just building an artistic prison full of them- wrapping the myth of the transcendent hero in regressive cliche.… Expand

A de-aged Jackson does a really great job as young Nick Fury and like everyone else I liked the cat though it's mosty there for comic relief.
The biggest problem with the movie is that it really doesn't do anything with the premise. We get some interesting tid-bits to the backstory of the current state of the MCU but as a stand alone movie it absolutely fails at telling a self contained engaging story.
There are also some really annoying, in your face feminism moments but they arne't that many or overly long and if the rest of the story managed to hold my interest they would have been easy to overlook. As it is I'm really sad to say that Marvel really fumbled this one and I really hope that this movie isn't indicative of what we can expect for Endgame.… Expand

Action scenes are hard to follow and most of the movie you are spent wondering what is going on, to only have it be revealed by exposition.

Given the highs of the series such as captain america the first avenger it feels as if this movie has fallen flat by attempted political commentary over substance, while marketing itself as a landmark moment for feminism (sorry did these people claiming this not see wonder woman?).

Given this movie could have worked if elements were toned down, better editing was placed in to make it flow better and larson given acting lessons.

But we all know this will be ignored and blamed on trolls and males.… Expand

Captain Marvel is jam packed with action and is a delight to watch. The humour comes thick and fast but never feels forced or prevents the narrative from including a lot of genuinely touching moments.

As a fan of the Captain Marvel comics itCaptain Marvel is jam packed with action and is a delight to watch. The humour comes thick and fast but never feels forced or prevents the narrative from including a lot of genuinely touching moments.

As a fan of the Captain Marvel comics it was a little nerve-wracking waiting to see how the MCU would handle such a layered, powerful character with a back story more tangled than most. Would the Carol I know be the same on screen? After seeing the movie, any worries I had evaporated faster than you can say "Lt Trouble".

Brie Larson did an incredible job of bringing Carol to life and was an absolute joy to watch. The whole cast gave stellar performances, from Sam Jackson's cat-loving S.H.I.E.L.D agent to Lashana Lynch's awesome air force pilot. Clark Gregg's return was brief but impactful and Annette Bening shone in her most mysterious role yet.

People who haven't seen the other MCU movies or read any of the comics needn't worry, there were plenty of subtle references, cameos and easter eggs included but there was no prior viewing or reading required.

Then there's the soundtrack, which has to be one of the best movie soundtracks ever! The film-makers made some bold decisions of where to use some of the iconic, grungier tracks of the 90s and for me every single one of them paid off. The 90s references don't end there either, and anyone who remembers the period will feel a few pangs of nostalgia throughout and find themselves remembering things they didn't realise they ever forgot (which is very fitting considering the plot) but it's never leaned on too heavily.

Unfortunately Captain Marvel is held back in the same way so many origin stories are. Having to introduce new races to the MCU and explain how a hero gets their powers is always going to take up valuable screen time. Carol's life before her powers is a fascinating one and I was left wanting to see more. But this is a super hero movie after all and so the focus will always have to be on that aspect of her life.

Overall the movie is incredibly fun to watch. Perfectly cast, with amazing effects and a plot that impressively manages to be both familiar and unpredictable.… Expand

After first seeing the trailer for Captain Marvel a while back it look mediocre at best. I am a single dad with sole custody of my daughter and our tradition is we have seen every Marvel movie together. I don't express my political views and I certainly don't like when Samuel L Jackson one of my beloved actors expresses his views by using foul language. Furthermore I don't appreciate Brie Larson white dude comment. Now that the above-mentioned is out of the way here's my honest review. Captain Marvel sometimes resembles the kind of low-budget sci-fi like Critters in the time when this movie is suppose to take place. But Critters had a better plot and the bounty hunters were better. Compared to Marvel movies Ant-Man is better than Captain Marvel. I don't want to give away any scenes for those who wanted to see it but the only good part of the movie is a cat but the end credits don't take anyone's word for it they are cheesy with what the cat and does. Because what the cat does you're going to be asking yourself why and how. And also in the incredits I don't like how Marvel is trying to make Captain Marvel Superior to any of the other event Avengers that have built this franchise up over 10 years it's a slap in the face to all fans and Disney has done to the Marvel franchise what they did to the Star Wars franchise two thumbs down. Because of this film I have doubts about endgame. My doubts were solidified when I Googled information and discovered that the Russo brothers did not want Captain Marvel in the infinity Wars or in game. I discovered online reading through some articles that Captain Marvel was forced into the role and did not get along with the Avengers cast.

And that's the real goal of the film and marketing. We'll just look past Wonder Woman who already did a female superhero much better in 2017. We'll also overlook Brie Larson as a spoiled blonde girl trying to play victim here based on her identity (are you serious?). If you buy into this nonsense and want to have your agenda validated and be pandered to, you might enjoy this film.

Captain Marvel

Marvel's detour in this people pleasing franchise is a slave to the formula that every other installment is brimmed of. "A safe play" claims Marvel, and protected is, their MCU in the eyes of their fans. The contribution of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck; the co-writers and directors, is merely integrating to this formula. But what comes off disappointing, is that this time the textbook format is rotten to the core. You find yourself stealing moments from the film to enjoy. The mind games played by the writers- or so they think- is just one big hotchpotch that we are told to mug up as a thought provoking sci-fi genre tidbit. Not only it fails intellectually on raising the questions, the news-like answers delivered seems like a conspiracy to fill in a political satire where clearly it compromises the narration.

Speaking of which, the writing is often dull, with cheesy lines, daft conversations and a fatal attempt of invading humor in storytelling. Boosting off with an introductory action sequence, the characters are transparent as water when it comes to hide their duality. This off putting behavior of the makers where they are overprotective about their obvious flips and turns, is frankly annoying. After which, Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) meets our host Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), a promising duo that had the brotherly romance between them to amplify the film.

Again, this equation is piled up by 1-0-1 comic writing, none of the small talks comes is smooth, their agendas are clearly visible on the screen. I would feel that this is the real culprit of the film, how bizarrely and easily deconstructive it is. So easy it looks, and yet so much effort it costs. The shape shifters theory comes in handy like the X Men's Mystique-ish cheats and tricks. Only once in the beginning it fools you with conviction while the rest of it grows predictable.

Larson in this glowing suit is way too ready for this job. Her calculative over thought out process is miscalculated, at least Gal Gadot owned the silliness. Her never-the-underdog dimension of the character is why we don't connect with her, there is no empathy for us to punch her that spaceship out of the sky. Jackson who had been fascinated on playing the early version of Nick Fury is as good as it gets when he is sharing the screen with a cat.

His words still sounds young and sort of amateur-ish but his body language can't hide the Jackson-ness in him. Jude Law and Annette Benning are victims of the worst aspects of the script, with wafer thin charisma or ambiguity, it is depressing to see this much potential thrown out of the window. How does it fit in the series? Aforementioned, obliged to connect the dots and mention the references, the film fails to stand on its own beliefs, its own content. I wish I could at least say that the Captain Marvel has the heart to look forward, it is busy reminiscing about the past, the result is, yes, sad.… Expand

There is plenty in Captain Marvel to jar, dissapoint and annoy comic fans and followers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but those problems have been hinted at and discussed ad nauseum elsewhere, as have Brie Larson’s offensive commentsThere is plenty in Captain Marvel to jar, dissapoint and annoy comic fans and followers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but those problems have been hinted at and discussed ad nauseum elsewhere, as have Brie Larson’s offensive comments while promoting the film. Those issues might be overcome if the film was wildly entertaining, or it’s main character relatable and engaging, or if familiarity with the character and her story were necessary to an enjoyment of the much anticipated Endgame. Sadly, none of those things are true. Captain Marvel is a colossal bore. There is an abundance of action, but no meaning. The arc of growth and self discovery, the vulnerability, that so endeared us to Tony Stark, Steve Rodgers, Thor, Black Widow, and the Red Witch are apparently unnecessary for Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers spends the film confused about who she is, but at no point does she have to earn what she is. And that’s dull. Throw in tired “you go girl” and “don’t politely call me young lady or I’ll put my boot up your ass” feminist tropes and it becomes downright annoying. The only thing flatter than the character’s arc of self discovery is Brie Larson’s phlegmatic delivery-every bit as bad as the trailers led us to fear. And the only thing flatter than that, is her unattractive rear end. The audience is left with very little to like, and all of that provided by supporting charcters. Save yourself the cost of a ticket and two very tedious hours of your life-and pray Captain Marvel isn’t allowed to entirely ruin Endgame.… Expand

Brie Larson in her attempt at "diversity" have actually accomplished the complete opposite.

I was so bored during this movie. By the time the pace FINALLY picked back up near the end, it was too little too late. This entirely forgettable entry into this massive film franchise is completely skippable. You won't need to see this to understand what's going on in Endgame. Yes, there will be this new Captain Marvel character in Endgame, but all you really need to know is that she existed back in the 90's and finds her way back to the action "in the nick of time" once Endgame rolls around. One thing to note: Your experience of the MCU as a whole may be lessened if you see this movie or accept this movie as canon. They literally retconned Captain Marvel as the BEGINNING of the Avengers, as well as the battle for control of a certain macguffin that was central to phase 1 marvel's climax. They also introduce a plotline where there's little reason for the Kree to have largely ignored Earth all this time since the 90's. This is a pretty big plothole.

How does this rank compared to the rest of the MCU? It's right at the bottom; near but below Thor the Dark World and Iron Man 2. If Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 are both 2/5 stars, this one is 1.5/5 stars.… Expand

First, this is a review of the movie itself. I know there has been discussion outside regarding cast comments, and sincerely, I just went into the movie and forgot about those things, as what matters for me is the film itself, and its ownFirst, this is a review of the movie itself. I know there has been discussion outside regarding cast comments, and sincerely, I just went into the movie and forgot about those things, as what matters for me is the film itself, and its own merits. I am a big fan of the comics and the MCU, and so although I wasn't familiar with this character, I was looking forward to her introduction and understanding how this will impact the MCU. I also know that having a very overpowering character, like Superman, is harder to relate to, so I went into the movie already willing to give them some slack, but hoping they could pull it off and make an awesome movie.
Unfortunately, for many reasons, the movie is simply bad. And yet, it had many things in it that show it could have been much better, so maybe there is hope for a sequel in the future, and are definitely things that can be changed. Let me explain. I think the easiest way to describe how I felt during the movie was that I cringed a lot.
First, I had heard that the main Actress Brie Larson was a really good actress. I can't comment on that as this is the only movie I saw with her, and I definitely want to see other of her works now so I can get a better opinion. But in this movie, her character was portrayed in a very abnoxious manner in most of the film (you know when a person can't be nice or kind to anyone, but just wants to act like a know-it-all jerk?). I don't know whose decision this was, maybe she was asked to portray it this way. There are though some better moments, in particular in the ship with Fury, and with her best friend's child, that she is more likable. I just wish we had seen more of that. I think the tone for her came off unnecessarily cold and again, the way I felt was that it was just being abnoxious. Now, I think this is something that she and they can change going forward, but it did not help when they are introducing us to a new character. This is even worse taking into consideration that they really need audiences to like her, given how difficult it is to connect with such an overpowered character, as is Captain Marvel's case. So, her acting was way off, and I don't know why, and I don't want to put in question her capacity, hence my wanting to see other works from her.
Anyway, moving on. The second most impactful problem is the production and editing. The movie is a long string of moments that should be of either emotion or great action, but that fall flat. I really feel they wanted those moments to be really grand and epic, and I think they actually could have been, but they just felt rushed and unearned, which actually turned them into really cringy. And this is the problem for me, I think that Captain Marvel's story was actually all there, there were lots of good pieces, which were presented, but the way they brought this together, the timing and presentation was beautiful visually, but was just rushed and felt really off for me, personally. So I really feel that it wasn't a lack of compelling story or character motivation, just the way the final cut flows. Those emotional moments, and the action, they were lacking either some more development, or not to be rushed or so obvious. The Skrulls (and Ben Mendelsohn) were great, it was always nice to have Fury and Coulson (I'm a big fan of the Agents of Shield, Coulson is such a charismatic character). Ok, having been unbiased about the movie, I do need to address honestly the Feminism question. I am a person who really enjoys that there are movie with strong female leads, with great stories to tell. And I think Marvel has a lot of potential they still have not taken advantage in terms of female characters to tell more stories about (I mean, Scarlet Witch and Black Widow have been great until now, and I would love to hear more of their stories, and have them lead their own films, i think they deserve more attention. And the actresses have done great!).
I know that some of the directors and cast were open about the feminism part. I have no problem with that. I just feel that it was cringy to force Director Fury to act dumb in some situations, just to give Captain Marvel an air of "gotcha", hey, let me lead you. That is just not necessary. I think audiences deserve much better. I loved Alita, which had a great female character and was an awesome movie. In this movie, I felt they always had to prove that Captain Marvel was better than the men around her, and sincerely, it was cringy. The movie is bad, because Brie Larson's acting is bad, and the production was way off.
But, I think those are two things that they can turn around I and sincerely hope they do, and if they do, I will enjoy watching what they do in a sequel. Ah, did I mention I loved what they did with the Skrulls? Well done on that point! And yes, that cat it is cool!… Expand

Instead of Black Widow or Scarlett Witch films, Marvel decided to introduce a character that had 9 (nine) reboots of its comic, and market it as The Strongest and the new lead, replacing the Iron Man in the future. I don't know where to start to explain how miscast and misplaced that is.

Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away Marvel was at its lowest, having sold many of its characters to survive, and had to use a b-rate Iron Man for its movie, which was an immense success due to charisma and carrying of Robert Downey Jr, character progression and struggle through movie, character flaws, weaknesses and humour.

This time Marvel is at its peak, ready to present the culmination of a decade-long development of franchise, having a huge roster of popular and well presented characters.

What would be the worst possible things for Marvel to do in current situation? Lets's see:
- present an unpopular provocative character out of nowhere
- market it as the strongest, as if being the strongest is what makes characters likable and popular
- devalue all the decade-long popular and developed cast by claiming that the new character will succeed where they all failed
- allow the lead actor to make provocative devisive speeches on public time and time again
- make a totally mediocre movie for a character that is supposed to be central in their culmination final movie

That's the literal description of Captain Marvel, and while I was watching Brie Larson's unphased unchanging bored face for two hours straight, I could not find any reason in my mind why Marvel did this at this time. All I felt after the end credits was a stunning emptiness inside.

It's not a bad movie, though the action scenes were very choppy and I can't remember the soundtrack at all. But for a Marvel movie that leads to Endgame, this is a disaster, thus - 1/10 from me, from the bottom of my heart and soul.… Expand

I went to the cinema yesterday and me and my friends had a really good time watching this movie.

Much like many of the other superheroes in the marvel cinematic universe, I didn't really know much about them before watching the movies, and that's the case with Captain Marvel as well. I was happily surprised by how much I liked her as a character, what she stands for, her super powers and now I just want to read and watch more of her.

I had such a big smile on my face during most of the movie. I laughed and cried and sometimes both at the same time. Since the movie is set in the 90's, it has plenty good of callbacks with both music and other nostalgic moments that I won't spoil here. Growing up as a teen in the 90's, I was humming along (inside me, I don't disturb others in the theater :p) to many of the classics songs that I remember fondly from my youth.

Without spoiling anything I just want to mention that the special effects and CGI in this movie are simply superb!

Marvel has made so many good superhero movies over the years, and Captain Marvel is just as good as the others that came before it.
So if you liked any of the other Marvel movies, or in general like superhero movies, there is a high probability you will like this one as well.
If you are tired of superhero/marvel movies, then this will probably not change your mind.

I'm really looking forward to what comes next in phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what Captain Marvel will contribute there.… Expand

Spoiler free:

1-The acting is very very bland and bad Brie Larson doesn't know what emotion to emot, it was so bad that I really didn't feel any scene worst yet I didn't know what to feel as she was always smirking even when the situation is serious and doesnt call for it. although some supporting actors like Samuel L. Jackson was okayish and kindda enjoyable giving that the script was bad as hell.

2-The story is unfocused and so convoluted the main villian is bland and weak which make the final showdown so underwhelming,the story is also filled with plot holes and unnecessary drama.

3-The fighitng scenes are one of the worst I ever seen and thats a dissaster specially when your movie is an action flick.

4-The script is pure sh#!t trying waaaay to hard to sound serious at the same time trying to be funny and failing in booth.

5-The direction and editing ....omg. Lets just say no one is winning any Oscar any time soon.

6-The visual effects and designs were soo generic that you would never know what movie it is seeing them without context (see Alita for reference on good visual effects and character designs)

Spoiler:

Nick fury lost his eye because a cat scratched it......if thats not destroying a character legacy I don't know what is.....… Expand

This was a very good movie. I liked it better than Ironman 3, Thor 2, and Age of Ultron.

They ruined the possibility of the Secret Invasion, which I thought was supposed to be the whole point of this movie. :(

A movie is meant to entice its audience with stuff that makes way for its characters to be explored. With Captain Marvel, one of the major issues lurks with this aspect and that's not helping it when we see the bigger picture in Endgame. TheA movie is meant to entice its audience with stuff that makes way for its characters to be explored. With Captain Marvel, one of the major issues lurks with this aspect and that's not helping it when we see the bigger picture in Endgame. The dialogues without the character being fleshed out felt out of place at many instances. The other major issue prevails in the messy structure and pacing towards the climactic build-up that leaves the viewers scratching their heads.The heroics marketing and capitalizing on its 'higher-further-faster' theme does not have enough justice or engage with the audience watching it. I feel this as a total wash-out with the already tested formula using the female led superhero aspect as its only true distinction from the rest and that to its unfair advantage. A clear disservice to MCU fans.… Expand

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

this is just all around bad, ridiculous and boring movie. Captain Marvel was never an interesting character in a first place and theres a good reason why marvel keep rebooting hers comics. This is without any doubts worst MCU movie so far andthis is just all around bad, ridiculous and boring movie. Captain Marvel was never an interesting character in a first place and theres a good reason why marvel keep rebooting hers comics. This is without any doubts worst MCU movie so far and its TLJ level bad. Story, characters, dialogues, fight scenes it all looked more like pre-MCU superhero movies like fantastic four, ghost rider or catwoman (or DCEU standard). Disney probably thought that with the right agenda pushed into movie they can get away with below average product... well no BTW: go to see Alita if you want amazing female character played by amazing cool actress… Expand

This movie is great fun and I'm gonna watch it a second time for sure. My expectations were really high and it matched them. Brie Larson plays a refreshingly unpretentious Carol Danvers, much more like a Guardian Of The Galaxy rather than an Avenger.

Can any one tell Brie Larson she can have more than 1 facial expression. Entire movie i only saw "smirky smile" or "grumpy old cat" face, Can't believe this oscar winning actress . Samuel Jackson even more human than her and his face is CGI .Can any one tell Brie Larson she can have more than 1 facial expression.

Also if any one wonder should you see this film before End game the answer is NO . You can totally skip this film and it wont make any difference . This movie just a telling past story nothing to do with current era except how Nick fury got his pipping phone. I give this movie 5/10 . The only highlight on this film is Nick Fury… Expand

Highly disrespectful to the source material and a blatant attempt to shove this character down people's throats.
CM is a deus ex machina and watches like a fanfic.

Other than Samuel L. Jackson, this movie has nothing good to offer. So sad for Endgame...

Wish they brought back entertainment without pointless politics.

Good addition to the overall Marvel Universe. Overall, the movie ranks in the middle for me in terms of Marvel films - most of which I have loved and a few were just meh.

Overall, the movie ranks in the middle for me in terms of Marvel films - most of which I have loved and a few were just meh. I think it was better than Black Panther but not as good as Thor Ragnarok or GotG. Sam Jackson's character was superb and Brie Larson was good enough to carry this movie into Endgame next month. I'm sure this movie will get low scores from people who just want to bring it down based on their personal dislike for Brie Larson.… Expand

Why the hell Marvel made this movie? so uninspiring and boring!! Brie Larson's acting remind me of The last air bender. They should have developed a strong story before making this movie. Not a joy ride for me before Avenger End game..
