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

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

I felt that Carol coming to terms with herself seemed a little rushed, and could have been done with some more nuance in the plot line, but this really didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the film, especially with respect to it being a full movie presenting as a plot device for an even grander story arc in Avengers: End Game

This movie was a lot better than I expected. The chemistry between Carol and Fury was great. It was a lot funnier than I expected too. Ben Mendelsohn's character was a nice surprise. And to those saying she didn't have an arc, I don't know what to say - she had a greater arc than even Captain America in his origin story. Gaining superpowers is not an arc - an inner transformation is. I love Captain America, but Steve Rogers went from a determined, nice guy to a determined nice guy with muscles. She went from a strong-willed person to one beaten down and brainwashed, to one who regains her strength through sheer will and the help of her friends. It was pretty endearing, actually. Also, that cat and the credits! A great setup for Endgame and a new hero.… Expand

The choppiness of the first half left me disappointed, but once the film took off it was an exhilirating and enjoyable ride. Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, truly made the heart of the movie. This wasn't a typical superhero origin film where the title character learns to grow into a new version of herself, but rather has to come back to her roots and discover what made her a hero in the first place. Her cool and calm demeanor was refreshing, while her more soft and humorous moments showed Carol's complexity and Brie's talent. With Carol Danvers in the lead, other parts of the film that were lacking were much easier to overlook. Other characters such as Fury and Rambeau also did a fantastic job at supporting the main character while being strong on their own. Overall, the film did not meet my high expectations for being released this late in the MCU, but the bold and inspiring title character and a strong second half won me over.… Expand

Seeing Captain Marvel on screen is one of the highlights of this era. Sure, the movie isn't perfect, but it is very good. It spends just enough time setting you up and defies the worn-out origin story to deliver something fresher than we've seen before.

There is plenty of room for folks not to like a thing -- I get that -- but the concerted effort by a few disgruntled troglodytes should not factor into your decision about whether or not to see this film. If the idea of an empowered female superhero upsets you, then, yeah, this movie isn't for you. For everyone else, enjoy the movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie needed to answer the question "who is Captain Marvel?" for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Franky speaking, the character of Carol Danvers is a mess in the comics. She's had an inconsistent power set, personality, and the details of her origin story have shifted several times. However, a few things have remained consistent. She's a soldier. She's strong. And she's a hero.

This movie introduces us to Carol through the well-worn trope of "lose and regain memories". This is probably inspired by Uncanny X-Men (see #154, 158, 164, 171) where Carol loses her emotional connection to her own memories. But I believe it helps set the correct tone for Brie Larson's performance:
- Her mentor (Yon-Rogg = Jude Law) criticizes her for being too emotional.
- The Supreme Intelligence of the Kree is supposed to take the form of "who we admire most", but Carol doesn't remember the person shown before her.
- Carol expresses that she doesn't know who she is, and is often captivated by photographs or other pieces of her identity throughout the film.

This is consistent with the Carol Danvers of the comics, who is usually cold and uncharismatic. However, this would be a poor choice of personality for the namesake of the Marvel franchise, so the movie's central arc is well-chosen: Carol begins as an "alien" and becomes "human". She starts as a Kree warrior tasked with mercilessly combating the Skrull, but gradually recovers her past and grows compassionate enough to listen to the other side of the story and help the Skrull leader reunite with his family.

The movie has strange pacing to further realize this arc, alternating between action sequences and moments of self-discovery. The characters must tell "details so specific a Skrull could not reproduce them" about themselves in order to prove their identity. Personal details emerge in the excellent banter between Fury and Danvers. And Carol is confronted with a literal "box full of memories" when she finds her long-lost best friend Maria. Seeing Carol go from initially not recognizing Monica to reconnecting with "Lt. Trouble" is precisely the sort of development needed to make Carol human.

All of this is intended to communicate the character of Carol Danvers, and causes the movie to have a unique texture. The stakes become "who is Captain Marvel?" rather than "will she win?" It's an unconventional way to tell an origin story, but I felt it was effective.

---

A few other stray thoughts:
- My main criticism of other MCU movies is poor imitation of Joss Whedon's style of comedy (releasing tension falsely). Captain Marvel appropriately uses humorous moments to endear us to the characters.
- There were a few lines of dialogue that were too on-the-nose and broke my immersion, but they were brief and forgivable.
- I was not convinced by Brie Larson in the trailers, but she captured the essence of Captain Marvel.
- Making the Skrull sympathetic was a surprising reversal of expectations.
- The choice of music didn't work in a couple spots.
- The effects are excellent as usual, but the photon-based powers are particularly impressive.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've seen Captain Marvel twice now, and I actually liked it better on second viewing. I went into the movie very apprehensive that the studio would blow it and make huge mistakes with this movie given the historic opportunity, like DC did by cramming too much mess into Batman vs. Superman (very obvious that movie was "made by committee" instead of the actual director). But I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be a solid entry into the Marvel movie universe. Fun and entertaining, Brie Larson's character is at her best and most enjoyable self when engaging in Carol's snarky sarcastic side. CGI & special effects are excellent, actually better than many CGI scenes in Black Panther. The only real complaints I had are: The color of Danver's green "Kree military" suit. I just don't like that color, it's flat.

The de-aging CGI on Samuel L. Jackson was fantastic, but on Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson it was HORRIBLE. His face looked plastic and fake, bad enough it almost took me out of the movie on first viewing.

Bad science regarding an impromptu "retrofit" of an earth jet craft to make it not only worthy of space travel, but escape velocity?! Come on that's like upgrading a Cessna to go into space. Other than these relatively minor problems, it was a solid, fun movie! Very satisfying to finally see Captain Marvel realize her full potential and BREAK LOOSE. Go see it and judge for yourself! Solid 8 out of 10 stars for me.… Expand

Well it's my opinion that Captain Marvel sits smack bang right in the middle which is no bad thing as at the end of the day I really enjoyed it which to be honest surprised me given how mixed the reviews have been.
I think the only sin this movie committed was to allow itself to be hijacked by two armies of public opinion who are using the Movie in the same manner two Parents stuck in a bitter divorce would use a poor Child in a silly game of one upmanship.

But lets get to the point! Captain Marvel, a solid movie. Sure, its not Infinity War, but it is a great little stand alone movie. The main character was charming, and the color choices were fantastic. I greatly enjoyed every moment with Nick Fury, but that should be no surprise, he's freakin' Nick Fury.

Support cast was solid. Not gonna spoil anyone, but I had a good time with everyone. They had a major and minor plot twist from the comics that caught me off guard but I adored. Playing with expectations is one of the best things they could do! If I wanted exactly the same as the comics, I'd go read the comics. I want something using my favorite characters but NEW and DIFFERENT, which is what we got here.

Downsides? At a few points the CG got kinda rough. I can think of two scenes in particular where the CG took me out of the moment and cracked immersion a little. It took a bit to wind up for me as well! I enjoyed the early scenes well enough, but I could feel myself waiting for it to build up, which took about twenty minutes, maybe thirty. I wasn't watching the clock.

Still! I strongly recommend this to everyone. It was genuinely a fun time all the way through, and had me bobbing a bit in my seat in a few moments. Also, love the cat.… Expand

But story wise and acting wise it was good (certainly towers over DC's wonder woman), I'd have preferred Brie Larson to have payed the part a bit more starkly authoritarian, to aid the future dynamics of MCU, but I suspect the intention was to make her character more relatable even if this meant deviating from the source material, "shoot first ask question later" nature.

Jackson's character get a deeper dive and bigger screen time than usual. I also liked Ben Mendelsohn as Talos. Other cast members, like Jude Law, are fine if forgettable.

Everything else about this is basically what you'd normally get from an MCU production: strong action, great effects, solid humour and an interesting plot. This 21st film from the universe is a good'un!… Expand

The editing could also use some improvement but it was serviceable for the story that the film was trying to tell. Overall, this film feels more like a stepping stone to Endgame than anything else, which is fine. People tend to forget that the original Captain America suffered from many of the same problems but the character was much improved as part of a group (Avengers) and in subsequent films (Winter Soldier, Civil War). This manhunt (pardon the pun) against Captain Marvel needs to stop. It is far from the worst comic book film adaptation (Suicide Squad, fight me) and is definitely not the worst Marvel film (Thor 2: The Dark World, fight me again).… Expand

It's fine. It's a movie that's neither worthy of significant praise (beyond it being watchable and easily disposable, that is) or substantive criticism (it is terribly formulaic). This is simply "a movie." Something you can pop on in the background while doing something else in your house. The action is competent. The humor is okay. The character work is thin, but not much worse than your ordinary b-tier Marvel solo flick (i.e. "Doctor Strange," "Ant-Man," etc.). It's just simply not worth all the fuss.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The marketing surrounding Marvel Studio's Captain Marvel, leading up to its release, hyped an effects-driven spectacle focused on an unassumingly powerful lead-actress promising to go higher, further and faster. And on those expectations, Captain Marvel mostly follows through and only falls short when directly compared to its MCU brethren and other superhero titans like DC's Wonder Woman.

The film opens with a flashback montage disguised as a bad dream of Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) containing scenes and dialogue begging the audience to ask questions like: who is she? Where is she from? What is her role in this universe? And as audience members, we unfortunately already know the answers to all of these questions: Carol Danvers. Earth. She's going to whoop Thanos' ass. But the film proceeds as if we don't already know this. Once we put those questions aside, we are properly introduced to Danvers in a sparring (both physical and verbal) session with Jude Law's Yon-Rogg, the leader of her Kree military unit. In this sequence, we get a brief view into the conflict that is supposed to frame the rest of the movie: Danvers is plagued by an identity crisis beset by amnesia and others constantly convincing her to not embrace her true self and place limits (both physical and metaphorical) on herself. Shortly after this, a military operation goes awry, and Danvers is captured by the devious Skrull militants and is spirited away to Earth where the real plot and our protagonist's hero's journey begins.

The 90s aesthetic of the film is hit and miss. I found myself bobbing my head to familiar 90s rock and pop anthems throughout, but felt a twinge of nausea when I saw my third separate era-appropriate band t-shirt. But besides rock music and flannel, the world feels a legitimate MCU analog to the real-world's grunge era. Radio dials and payphones flank scenes with experimental Quinjets and SHIELD operatives. Many have praised the de-aging of Sam Jackson's Nick Fury and for good reason: you'd be hard-pressed to spot the difference between this version of SLJ and his appearance in Goodfellas. The only visual shortcomings arrive during the heavy action sequences. With a character who can fly, create energy blasts, and rock a gravity-defying mohawk, this movie deserved top-notch CGI; what we get is dicey visuals with often floaty looking characters resembling videogame avatars. All in all, the visuals neither make or break this movie. Fortunately, this film shines when the characters stop punching and brooding and start talking to each other.

There is a buddy cop aspect between Larson and Jackson that pleases mostly, with Jackson shouldering most of that load. Even Larson's brief interaction with a rent-a-cop dishes out a couple of good laughs. But the best pairings come late in the game between Larson and two supporting characters played by Lashana Lynch and Ben Mendelsohn. The former relationship represents a forgotten past with Lynch playing ex-fighter pilot Maria Rambeau who both Danvers' best friend and a key figure in rediscovering her lost memories. The chemistry between the two actresses allows the movie true sentiment and creates a reason to finally root for our main character. It's slightly disappointing that the film didn't capitalize more so on this dynamic. The latter of the aforementioned relationships represents Danvers' future and ascension to heroism. Mendelsohn plays a wartorn Skrull who is revealed to be not a terrorist but refugee seeking a new home for his displaced people. This is a refreshing take on both the comic book lore and the actor's range; it's great to see Mendelsohn in a role that evokes compassion rather than hate. It's with these interpersonal exploits that the movie ultimately allows Larson to bring her character to life so to speak and instill confidence in a future with this franchise.

By the end of the film, the audience gets a mixed bag of surprises and familiar ground; exciting and underwhelming scenes. The film does bookend itself with impressive and fun action while allowing characters to drive most of 2 hour and 5 minute run-time. Although, ultimately, this film does fall slightly short on its claim to go higher, further and faster than its competitors, the real reward to the fans is the resonance of Captain Marvel's personal relationships and the promise that her character will be a badass, but will also offer an empathetic presence among a laundry list of ego-centric superheroes paving the way for a variety of narrative to come.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good introduction movie without spending too much time on her origin. There was a lot of controversy surround this movie for the wrong reasons which I won't cover as it's not warranted. Whilst not an A lister in the Marvel Comics up until the last decade, Captain Marvel has succeeded in being the real first Phase 4 movie even tho it really isn't a Phase 4 movie because it's a few months before Avengers: Endgame. But the main point is that the MCU now has it's new Iron Man + Capt America combo character that can lead the New Avengers post Endgame.

The twists in the movie were good, because they were unexpected but still provide an opportunity for a Secret Invasion arc in a few years. The way the Kree, and Skrull war was set up in the trailers was very different in the movie. Having Nick Fury, and Agent Coulson was nice but I did feel sad that Fury was basically comic relief in the movie.

Onward to Avengers: Endgame!… Expand

I enjoyed it, it's funny and thoroughly entertaining and a must see for Marvel fans. There are not enough superhero films with a female lead and the ones we do have are, let's be honest, a bit rubbish. I mean Elektra and Catwoman, come on that cannot be the best they can do. Also the fact that we haven't gotten a Black Widow solo movie yet is borderline insulting at this point but apparently there is one in development so there's still hope. It wasn't until Wonder Woman 2017 that it looked like it was possible to have a female superhero movie that wasn't just a joke. I'm not saying Wonder Woman was a masterpiece, it had it's share of problems but it was a definite step in the right direction. Now in 2019 Captain Marvel is another giant step in the right direction.

It's the 1990s and we first meet Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) with her powers so no 40 minute wasting time with the hero gets powers and figures out how to use them origin thing. She unexpectedly finds herself on earth during a galactic war between two alien races. It's set before most of the other Avenger movies so you know what that means, a younger CGI version of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg). Admittedly this has looked a bit dodgy in the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Antman and the Wasp but for Captain Marvel it's not looking too bad. Also starring Jude Law, Annette Bening and Ben Mendelsohn so a good cast all round. It has a great balance between action and comedy, a perfect precursor to keep us going until Endgame. Brie Larson really was a great casting choice for Captain Marvel. No you don't have to love it, like most superhero movies it isn't perfect but as long as you can buy into the story you should enjoy the ride. It set up the story well and followed its own rules, it did take some time to win me over but Brie Larson had me practically cheering her on by the end. My expectations were not high and we all know how misleading trailers can be but it certainly exceeded them. If you're part of the MCU fanbase then I'm sure you were all in the cinema opening night and don't need me or anyone else to tell you to see it. For anyone on the fence or if you find yourself being swayed by the wave of online trolls and negative reviews do yourself a big favour, ignore all that and go see it for yourself. Highly recommended.… Expand

At last we see how Nicholas loses his eye. The first minutes are in space and it looks well (good start), then everything happens on Earth (1995), and in the end there is a fight that lacks substance. It's not an action movie but a mix among 60% drama, 15% comedy and 25% action, it's a "buddy movie" and Nick and Carol have good chemistry. There are deceptions and plot twist but they didn't "touch" me. The villain on duty is not memorable but talking about him would be spoilers. Fury and the supporting characters are wonderful and raise the film and help the drama that Vers takes, that although Brie Larson's performance is good, the film is light. It reminds me at times to Men In Black, the races and persecutions of Star Wars, ID4 and some other movies (that is, it drinks a lot from other films and copy them). Wonder Woman is way better.

And you know what? In a way,I have to thank the fan outrage for this one (A LOT). If it wasn't for them,I wouldn't be as excited as I was for a movie like Captain Marvel.
But we're not here for the millionth negative hack review. You want to know if the movie's good or bad. For most of it,I can’t say it was bad,that's for sure,but just “Cool”. Like,30% Good,30% Bad and 40% Campy as hell.
The script has nothing new to tell for a Female-led movie,but there's enough secondary material that makes it justifiable: A message about Girl Power that blows the “female movies with a message about the power of Love” out of the water,an interesting twist for the Skrulls (the main baddies of the movie) that makes them charismatic villains,and all the 90's campiness that's basically the humor part of the movie (or,for most of it,at last).
Sure,Brie Larson smiles in the movie,but she doesn’t deliver much. Yeah,I liked her performance,but it was in service of a strange script,while Samuel L. Jackson and Goose The Cat were the better characters in here. And hey,the kids were bearable this time. (Come to think of it,there’s so much material to make me tear apart A Wrinkle In Time here!)
The Blockbuster scene is easily the best part in here,and it'll sure be for every movie lover. Pinar Toprak's score is better than I expected it to be (speaking of the orchestra),but it's sometimes a Thor Ragnarok clone with the whole Synthy vibes and classic beats.
Nothing special about the VFX and Production Design. They're just fine,that's all.
Although the use of 3D was fantastic. Visually speaking,when Carol Danvers gets her powers is just as great as the Venom Vs. Riot CG Pan-around from Venom (2018),or maybe I’m just a sucker for visual slow motion greatness…
To top it all,there’s a Stan Lee tribute that is so gut-wrenching,I heard someone almost cried in the theater. (Tears of a true woman/man)
But still,this movie has problems (who would’ve guessed…). For starters,the story isn’t really that interesting (aside the secondary material),since it’s the whole “woman on the journey of self-discovery” thing again. Sometimes the fanservice is unnecessary (like when they explain how Fury lost an eye. We saw that coming MILES away when the cat was announced to be part of this movie) and again,Brie Larson giving it her all for uninteresting character development. And,this isn’t part of the movie,but the fanservice it got pre-release (and post) was toxic as hell. Jesus,not even something like Star Wars The Last Jedi can top this level of hate (but it makes way for an extra point,so thank you haters). In the end,Captain Marvel feels like the Birthday Cake that has nothing delicious on top,but that on the middle and end of it,has enough cream and chocolate to make it a Cool tie at the movies. Catch it in IMAX 3D if you can.

P.S. The mid-credits sequence is destined to blow minds all over the world. Stick until that and not the post-credits one.… Expand

First of all, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel is good. In a few scenes, it looked like she was giving it her all in that performance while in others it seemed as if she was only phoning it in. That can be said about a few of the others.First of all, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel is good. In a few scenes, it looked like she was giving it her all in that performance while in others it seemed as if she was only phoning it in. That can be said about a few of the others. Especially Jude Law, who plays Yon-Rog, who I’ve seen in other roles and is captivating in it. But this role just didn’t seem to fit him that well. Really the only person I can say did a good job was Ben Mendelsohn, who plays Talos. Every scene that he’s in he gives it his all and you can easily tell he is comfortable in this role. This has nothing to do with the movie but I just loved Goose the cat. But speaking of Goose when they used a real cat actor it was great but when they switched it out and made him CGI it looked terrible. I feel like they blew their entire budget on different scenes and had to just find a clichéd cat on the internet. I only say this because all of the scenery in every scene is amazing. The cinematography is outstanding in this film. The pacing in this film was weird and just off. The film is two hours and four minutes but it feels like two hours and forty minutes. One thing that bugged me but also I was happy about was all the answers we got for other Marvel movies. This film has plot twists but they are so obvious that even a kid could figure them out before they are revealed. Due to this film taking place in 1995 I feel bad for all the kids who won’t understand the references the movie is making. But the cultured ones like me will get them. Finally, there are two end credits scenes but really just stay for the first one. In the end, Captain Marvel isn’t the worst Marvel movie but it also isn’t the best. I definitely recommend watching in 3D.… Expand

It's a fine film, but it's the weakest MCU film for me. Captain Marvel isn't that great of a character here imo.

I like Brie as a Captain Marvel but she needs to work on her acting skills because she was trying to blend two extreme sides of two different characters together and it was just too awkward and fake. If she toned down the "i am a hero" act and "i'm funny" act it would go together way better than it actually ends up being in the movie.

In the end, I was able to have some fun with the movie but I wouldn't call it a great experience like with some other MCU movies.… Expand

Brie Larson shows us her quick wit and star power as we see her transformation into an action star. Though the latest addition to the MCU has some flaws, specifically in the 3rd act during a CGI infused action sequence against an entire space fleet, CM wins you over with nostalgic easter eggs, solid action stretches, and some well-placed banter. As it compares to the rest of the MCU, it will likely find itself in the middle of the pack but it might have one of the greatest supporting performances in the franchise with Ben Mendelsohn.… Expand

2022 Revisit - Gotta say that I have to temper my first review after subsequent rewatches. This is decent, mid-level Marvel fare - better than, say, Thor: The Dark World, but that's setting the bar pretty low. How about we say it's approaching the neighborhood of Black Widow good-ness?… Expand

Typical Marvel-character-introduction-movie, entertaining but not something out of expect. Cool visual. Fight scenes are boring.

Captain Marvel great movie? No. Decent to movie? Yes

Captain Marvel deserves bad reviews? Maybe

It seems that all the bad reviews are not based on people's opinions of the movie. It is based on ignorance, pettiness, and people haters. Seems sad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 7
Acting: 8
Plot: 7

After being teased during the post-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War, Captain Marvel is officially making her cinematic debut in the twenty-first instalment of Marvel Cinematic Universe which not only focuses on her origins but exploring her absence throughout the years of the franchise.

Set in the year of 1995, Carol Danvers/Vers (Larson) is a member of Kree Empire’s Starforce with Yon-Rogg as her mentor and commander. While her team are being sent out on a mission to rescue an undercover operative from the Skrulls, they manage to ambush the Starforce and Vers got capture in the process.

The Skrull commander, Talos (Mendelsohn), have Vers subject to memory probe to look for something within her mind. She manages to escape from her captors but ends up in crash-landing in Earth. Her presence in Earth attracts the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Nick Fury (Jackson) and Phil Coulson.

After Fury kills a Skrull disguising as Coulson and Vers decides to lay low for a while, they end up meeting each other in a bar where he learns from her that the Skrulls are in Earth and capable of shape-shifting. Vers tells Fury that she has recurring nightmares and saw an old woman named Dr. Wendy Lawson, whom she somehow appears to know her. In addition, she also reveals that she has been on Earth before and her past memories seem to have come back slowly. Both Vers and Fury agree to work together to stop the Skrulls and finding some answers to Ver’s past.

Despite the online trolls claiming the movie will be terrible, those claims are definitely not true. The movie is not bad at all. Although this movie does not live up to the quality of the previous Marvel solo movies and DC’s Wonder Woman, it is still a good and entertaining movie to enjoy. It was a really fun and a nice addition to the franchise before the upcoming Avengers: Endgame in the following month.

Brie Larson’s performance as Captain Marvel is very good and she is definitely born to play the role of this superheroine. Besides her, Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn have done a very impressive performance in this movie. The de-aging process was very well done for Jackson and Clark Gregg and they look exactly younger realistically speaking.

While the movie does have some heart-warming and comedic moments, the plot of the movie is fine but I noticed there are some minor retcons and small continuity errors such as S.H.I.E.L.D. being referred by its abbreviation in this movie but in 2008’s Iron Man (which took place after this movie) had S.H.I.E.L.D. goes by its full name until the end of the movie. I won’t spoil the rest of them here but I leave them for you to find out. If you are willing to overlook these small errors, you will have no problem enjoying the movie.

As mentioned earlier, Avengers: Endgame is just right around the corner and I definitely recommend that you watch this movie first. You know what to do during the credits. Stay back for two post-credits scenes.… Expand
