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.… Expand

Captain Marvel is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, written by Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck and Geneva Robertson-Dworet and starring Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelssohn and Jude Law.

The story 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. Set in the 1990s.

Captain Marvel is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, for that reason I say it's a new way to see a MCU movie, and it's also crazy, the OST, the humor and the era.. this movie is a bonker!!!

Captain Marvel is a very fun time, guys.. it's really cool, fueled by CGI action sequences, and the amazing performances by Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelssohn, BTW Ben M. is very surprising to him that great, he's by far the best thing in this movie, just like Samuel L. for me! Goose the Cat comes at the second place.. I don't want to spoil anything to you about that amazing, funny cat.. but guys, prepare to get your mind blown!!! Also the CGI of Samuel L. Jackson, to make him younger, is AMAZING!!!!!! This is the BEST age-CGI-ed character I've ever seen.. literally!

Is it a perfect movie? NOPE!! It has some flaws, it's not a great heroine movie, there are better heroine movies, but it's still a fun one, but still flawed.

My biggest issue with this movie is the first 15min, guys, they were super-rushed, even the direction was rushed... There's also a scene when "a team" was searching for "someone", it was so dark that it was literally so hard to see who is doing what, that scene bugged me so much! It took me sometime to recognize the characters! There's also a very good scene when Captain Marvel was trying to get those lockers out of her hands, rushed, but cool! When Captain Marvel arrived Earth, as we saw in the trailer, things Finally got back to the right course. It was humorous, slow-paced.. a little bit, and all the good things started to happen.

And the thing that I didn't imagine to say, is that Brie Larson is not that good as Carol AKA Captain Marvel, she's a very talented actress, so I expected something.. better from her, but she was Brie Larson, nothing more! I hope to see her better in Avengers: Endgame.

It's a good origin superhero movie -still not that amazing- with some amazing action sequences fueled by good CGI. I'm gonna give Captain Marvel a B! Go and see it, it worth your time, guys... And as always, thank you, guys for reading and supporting my work, really appreciate it, and if you liked it you can click on my name up above and see all of my reviews.… Expand

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

After the catastrophic events of Avengers: Infinity War (and the pleasingly droll interlude of Ant-Man and the Wasp), Marvel Studios take us back to the 90s with Captain Marvel, starring Oscar winner Brie Larson as the titular intergalacticAfter the catastrophic events of Avengers: Infinity War (and the pleasingly droll interlude of Ant-Man and the Wasp), Marvel Studios take us back to the 90s with Captain Marvel, starring Oscar winner Brie Larson as the titular intergalactic hero. It’s a film that certainly has the weight of responsibility firmly on its shoulders; not only is it an origin story packed within the developed third phase of its universe, it acts as both a link to the past (a de-aged Samuel L. Jackson is unnervingly convincing) and a bridge to what is undeniably Marvel’s big event of the year, Avengers: Endgame.
Captain Marvel is entertaining enough; the script may be inconsistent, yet it hits a number of laughs and the cast, from Jude Law to Annette Bening, are a spunky ensemble that bring a bright earnestness to the film. It’s a fairly standard origin story that makes unapologetic use of Marvel’s signature formula, often with results that, whilst usually fun, can’t help but feel slightly circumspect and contained. We watch as Larson’s Vers (as she is known on her supposed home planet of Kree) crashes on Earth, her memories of her past fragmented and her identity thoroughly muddled. This is much like the film’s narrative itself which feels largely scattershot, jumping through flashbacks and glossing quickly over plot points with nonchalance. That being said, the movie is very entertaining, an odd tonal balance of Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-esque retro humour and the bombastic action stakes of Star Wars. Without a doubt, it’s fun, with charm obscuring the more clunky moments in the writing.
Captain Marvel, of course, relies strongly on Brie Larson’s leading performance. Larson is undoubtably a terrific actress who commits wholeheartedly to the role, making the best of the disappointingly little that is given to her. In the end, whilst the scope of her powers are cause for sensation, the character herself feels lost in her own film, attempts at pathos underdone and most of the best moments going to other characters.
The extended players stand out far more, with marvellous turns by Ben Mendelsohn and Lashana Lynch and a star-studded performance from a certain feline. The cast (even Larson to an extent) are the film’s saving grace, carrying the film with a jubilance that can’t help but bring a smile to the face.
Other aspects of the film also shine; the visual effects are polished and a distinctly 90s jukebox soundtrack works well. Far from spending its time in space, most of the film is grounded on good ol’ Planet Earth, packed full of satisfying nods to the period.
All said, Captain Marvel is a tricky film; it can’t help but feel like a stepping stone to the next point of the overall narrative of the universe, a safe and unambitious adventure muddied in franchise building. For me, however, the quirky humour, visual thrills and undeniable sense of fun are enough to give Captain Marvel a watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty good movie. I wasn't really a fan of what had been said by Brie Larson coming into this movie and wasn't really a fan of the movie making it seem like guys in the military just suck(when they were making fun of her). I thought it had some funny moments and enjoyed the Fury moments. Good performances by Jude Law and Samuel L. Jackson. Also had a very interesting end credit scene. Didn't really enjoy the Skrulls being the good guys and how Fury lost his eye.… Expand

This movie is too good but it has flaws.
Something that bothers me is that they made the Skrulls a joke like they did with Ultron.
This new era in the MCU has a new leader and it is CAROL DANVERS, who came to stay.

A veryMarvel fans are very uptight and so territorial that Tolkien used them as inspiration for Gollum. When watching the film I could hear them coughing and talking to themselves, silently muttering "precious" under their breath. A very uncomfortable movie experience I'll have you know and yet I was able to watch Captain Marvel with a sense of relaxation and immersion. I had zero expectations going into the film. I am by no means a fan of Marvel films, if anything, I think they are money grabbing, mind polluting, art damaging pieces of film. Recently, however, I have seen a conscious effort to use the large budget to actually create something daring and unique, an effort which gave them an Oscar nod, and deservedly so. We are also seeing them cast really talented actors and actresses, such as Jake Gyllenhaal and Brie Larson, both of which have so unapologetically exhibited the art and skill that goes into the portrayal of every character of a well written script. So with the promise of positive change in recent past and near future, I took my seat with an open mind. The positives of this film include its special effects. The CGI is seamless, the special effects makeup is top level, and Samuel L Jackson has never looked better. The concept of the film was solid overall, however, I do think it was a bit too self centred towards the main character herself, which took away from the overall scale and impact of the on screen events. Some scenes are forgettable and even now, a couple of days after watching the film, I struggle to think of an overall plot outside of an individuals self discovery and revelation. That being said, the film incorporates tired, old, boring storylines and puts an enjoyable and original twist on them, for example, the whole idea of amnesia and flashbacks is as tired and old as Samuel L Jackson without anti-aging effects (in fairness that doesn't look that old), however, they successfully navigated this plot detail in a way so that it wasn't cumbersome. The film does have plot holes and questionable logic, however, the movie doesn't take itself seriously enough to warrant anybody to stay up at night questioning them, although I presume the marvel nerds will. If anything, ditching more of the source material and being more inspired by it, including that unnecessary Mohawk, would improve the film. The acting wasn't anything to take note off but I do think Brie Larson was able to have some fun with the role. Samuel L Jackson and Jude Law were similarly satisfactory. Overall, this movie was a successful high budget B movie, never intending (I hope) to cause ripples or revolutionise the industry. If you have an open mind you could be entertained by this film, however, if you are only satisfied by a movie that coincides with what you envisaged then I doubt you will enjoy any film.… Expand

I mean sure, it’s pretty different for a marvel movie, but it’s definitely not as bad as The Dark World, Avengers 2, or Ant-Man and the Wasp. Keep in mind, I do acknowledge the film’s problems. Captain Marvel, as a character, is generally uninteresting , although Brie Larson did try to make it work. Also, the plot gets kinda messy every now and then. I think the Skrull and Nick Fury were actually some of the better characters in this movie . Also, Jude Law did a solid job as one of the antagonists. Comparing Captain MArvel to other newly released films, such as Hellboy 2019, I’d say it’s one the better movies. Although it isn’t as good as Shazam. Walking out of the theater, I felt like I watched one of JJ Abrams Star Trek movies. Mostly because JJ’s take on Star Trek was good, but it didn’t really feel like Star Trek. Captain Marvel didn’t really feel like the traditional marvel movie, and that’s ok with me. Ever since Infinity War came out, it seems as if Marvel has went in a more serious direction. Like how the avengers and others struggled with their connections and emotions, and how they handled them. Captain Marvel is basically a glimpse at what phase 4 of Marvel will be. Not everything will be about fighting, sometimes a person greatest enemy is themselves, that sort of thing. Combine that with good actors and ambitious directors, I believe Captain Marvel is setting us up for something really exciting, and I don’t just mean Endgame. 7/10 you guys are just salty.… Expand

Most of flash back was just awful of the tired out "girls cant do ___," which used only 1 group of specific people to portray Carol's past of being a victim.

I was bummed there wasn't an IMAX 3D version, as I had to pick between Dolby Cinema, IMAX, or 3D. We went with the IMAX showing, mainly cause the other versions were mostly sold out.

Overall, I thought it was a decent entry into the Marvel Universe. Despite all the pre-release hubbub, I found it wasn't that bad. Since it's set in the 90's before all the other Marvel films, they were able to build an origin story without worrying much of the pre-built universe. You're introduced to a new alien race called the Skrull and also get a better look at the Kree in this film (previously seen in Guardians of the Galaxy). The storyline was somewhat predictable and I wish they spent more time showing some of Ronan the Accuser in earlier years. If you're going to bring a bad-ass villain back, he should play a bigger role, rather than 5mins of screen time to fill in story plot.

I think Brie Larson as Captain Marvel will be a good addition to the Avengers in Endgame and interested in seeing how they build her character in Phase 4 of the Marvel Universe. Also, the film gives some backstory to characters like Nick Fury and Agent Coulson which was cool. The special effects are on par with what you'd expect with any Marvel film. Soundtrack was mediocre. For being set in the 90's, there was plenty of good songs they could've picked from, but I won't be buying this soundtrack anytime soon. They also incorporate other 90's nostalgia with things like Blockbuster, Radio Shack, pagers, band tshirts like Nine Inch Nails, and a web cafe seen where Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) uses Alta Vista as a search engine. There's also a shout out to The Fresh Prince.

Worth seeing on the big screen? Sure. Was it the best Marvel movie ever? Not really. Definitely worth seeing before Avengers: Endgame as I assume Captain Marvel will play a decent size role in taking on Thanos.… Expand

But back to the movie, it isn't without plotholes, but as like all Marvel movies you have to suspend your believes. Yet again all the superheroes that matters seems to be white caucasians, and the kree and skrull alien race can speak english? Okay Captain Marvel has a universal translator (while the others humans have not and still understood what each other were saying), and she doesnt seem to carry her translator with her all the time, but okay, suspend belief....

Other than that it was an entertaining super hero movie, and Brie Larson did a good job in portraying a confused hero trying to find who she was. Brie was compelling, funny, rebellious, great chemistry with Samuel Jackson, a good role model for the kids and towards the end she really makes you believe she can take on the Universe, and that is the accomplishment you need for a super hero movie!… Expand

BUT FIRST....
We are all spoiled with great marvel movies these last couple of years that the expectations for every new movie is so high that the disappointment if a movie is not as good as "Infinity War" or "Thor Ragnarok" is even higher. Let's think about Capatin America the First Avenger for a second, it was an ok/good movie BUT the sequel "Winter Soldier" changed the game (one of MCU finest) with the right writers & directors with a clear vision for the characters. ;-)

NOW TO CPATAIN MARVEL .....
GOOD: Brie Larsons performance was dope (with what she was given with the script) especially the second half of the movie. (SO DON'T LET THE TROLLS FOOL YOU, she IS CAPTAIN MARVEL). Sam Jackson as young Nick Fury and the chemistry between him & Captain Marvel is great. Ben Mendelsohn as Talos pure gold. Goose the Cat
+ some Plot twists / suprises & the 90s setting was nice. The visual effects (de-aging technology) & captain marvels full binary power was off the chain.

BAD: The biggest issue is the script & direction by directors Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck. Both never worked on a big budget movie like this and that you can tell. The plot structure & the pacing is all over the place and the characters/dialog weren't really well written to their full potential. They really didn't have a vision for the characters & story. The movie is trying to fit in an origin story, the set up for Avengers Endgame and set up for the cosmic future of the MCU. It's just too much. Starforce & Ronan the Accuser was a complete waste btw.

OVERALL
Good Movie, Great Performances, Great Cast, Great Effects but suffering from a weak script & direction.

Marvel picked the wrong writers, director(s) for this movie. They should've gone with someone more experienced.

BUT CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PART 2 GETTING THAT "WINTER SOLIDER" TREATMENT ;-)
AND... HOW BAD ASS SHE'S GONNA BE IN ENDGAME WITH THE RUSSO BROTHER DIRECTING.

Go see it in theaters

I did not particularly like the look of the movieOK, Firstly I would like to say that I went into this movie with low to medium expectations. I am a huge fan of the MCU and was very interested with how Captain Marvel would fit into it all. I did not particularly like the look of the movie based on the trailers nor was I a fan of Brie Larson. There has been so much internet talk on feminist agendas, SJW etc etc. That is why I was so pleasantly surprised with this movie. I really liked it and believe it is a worthy addition to the MCU. I thought LARSON was great and I loved the easter eggs and link ups to the rest of the MCU. A lot of people are complaining about certain things which I wont specify due to spoilers, but I think they are over reacting and I still think it all fits justifiably.

The de-aging CGI work on Samuel L Jackson and Clark Gregg was phenomenal, you honestly just forgot they had done it. Probably the biggest surprise and standout for me was Ben Mendelsoh, he was so good in this and you could tell he just loved playing the role.

The humor was good, nothing too drastically different from any other marvel movie. Some common complaints are that the humor was bad, but I think it was dry humor so went over some peoples heads maybe. It certainly wasn't silly joke heavy like Thor Ragnarok. If you are a fan of the MCU then I think you will like this movie. It is not the best MCU movie, but it is certainly up there, I want to say top 5, but I think being honest it would be more top 10.

For those worried about feminist agendas and SJW pandering....You can stop worrying..There really isn't anything like that. There was a 90's song playing to a fight scene which was probably the cringiest part for me, but ultimately the most it touches on is about the character, Carol Danvers and her struggles as a woman trying to work her way into the air force. Its not feminist agendas, it is just the reality of that sort of thing, especially in the 90's. (actually that part was set in the 80's, 1989).

The post credit scenes and the Stan lee tributes are worth admission alone. I am looking forward to watching it again as soon as possible.… Expand

Pros: Goose the cat steals every scene he's in. And Ben Mendelsohn does a great job! Fury and Capt Marvel also have a good odd couple/buddy cop vibe going for them for the brief time it's shown in the film, which leads me to the cons....

Cons: 1) They keep changing up what the film is supposed to be. First it's a duck out of water story, then it's a buddy cop film, then it's something else entirely. The overarching theme changed 3 or 4 times and it feels like the film has multiple first acts. 2) It's predictable now and then so you are stuck waiting for the characters to catch up. 3) They really fumbled the 90s nostalgia--it felt really forced and the music that was selected was misplaced or a poor fit for the scenes they were used in. 4) The audio was poorly mixed--the music is WAY louder than all the other audio in the film for some reason. I thought this was maybe just the theater, but reading reviews online this seems to be a common observation.

In conclusion I'd give a 6.5/10, which I'll round up to a 7/10 for the mid-credit scene and Stan Lee cameo and intro. Worth catching once in the theater because it's still a decent popcorn movie and I'm all in with the MCU. However, if you're not a big Marvel fan and/or can catch the mid-credits scene online, then you could probably wait for video. It's not what I would characterize as a "must see in the theater" movie along the lines of Thor 2.

An actual "must see in theater" film is Alita: Battle Angel. Now THAT deserves to be seen in IMAX 3D. Such a beautiful film, and great movie in general.… Expand

A bit more emotional expression would have made her more credible though (most probably a director decision and not the fault of the actress). -- The character interactions are good overall, though not as good as other Marvel movies I would say. The main plot (no spoilers) is morally interesting ! -- The introduction (content) was refreshing. The additions to the history of the Marvel characters, including S.H.I.E.L.D., were nice overall; though some pieces were trying too hard to fit. -- Not a grand movie, but quite fine. -- nb: those voting 0 to 3 might reflect on the fact they are rating this movie as worse than The Last Jedi, which had objectively a bad script and serious story holes/issues. A fair and reasonable critical view could make this movie deserve between 4 to 6. The negative votes are extreme and demonstrate they were done with an activist attitude so-to-speak. My friends, which are men around 40 years old, neither super feminists nor anti-feminists, found it OK, not really bad, and would rate it around 6 or 7.5.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain Marvel is the 21st movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It starred Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Vers/Captain Marvel, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jude Law as Yon-Rogg and more casts. The story started in 1995 on the Kree Empire's capital planet of Hala, Vers had nightmares. To be honest, it wasn't a good beginning but it wasn't forgettable. Next scenes were quite forgettable because they showed nothing special so I couldn't remember much of it. I could remember when she met Fury with 2 agents at the Blockbuster Video shop (wasn't it? I can't remember). When she was captured by Talos and other Skrulls, we were fooled by the movie (we though the Skrulls were villains). They tried to change Vers' memory (surely that could be remembered by most people, I think). The others scene till the end of the movie was not bad but a few people could remember many. The story plot was not bad at all. Started in a planet, a young woman trying to find out who she was and took a lot of risks to restore her memory, surely audiences from the 90s would like that but for me, it was medium like a 7.5/10. Bet the 90s would like it more than I do. Brie Larson was set to be the main character in this movie. But unfortunately, she didn't try her best to prove that Carol Danvers (or Vers) was main in here. I know she could do a lot better like in Room (2015), she won Best Actress. But in here, the MCU didn't take this movie seriously enough to make Carol the main character. However, they did some marvelous CGI effects of Vers' powers and others. They were quite like real with no mistakes. The final battle was thrilling, full with power beams and other CGI, nothing was bad and I was actually impressed. The right thing they did was to add humor to the movie. Luckily, there was Samuel L. Jackson, so things went okay! (also with Goose the 'cat') Even though there were hilarious scenes, I laughed a little and I think they should do more. While watching the movie, I was bored for some time like in conversations, for example. They were really boring but to make things impressive, they did a lot better at the end even though the fight scenes weren't that epic. So to summarize this, I would like to say that Captain Marvel (2019) isn't one of the greatest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it was funny, entertaining (at the end) but I bet the audiences of the 21st century wouldn't like it. Sorry Larson, the movie was fine but you didn't try your best in here!
Points from me: 7.3/10… Expand

Endgame will be the final time we see IronThe final installment of Marvel’s phase three and the end of the Marvel cinematic universe is nearly upon us with “Avengers Endgame”. It’s not the true end technically but it almost has that feel. Endgame will be the final time we see Iron Man, Captain America, and maybe even Thor again on the big screen. Captain Marvel shows the future of phase four and beyond that she will share with the likes of Spider Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and many others. I will start by saying that going into this film, I didn’t know anything about Captain Marvel. Never read any of her comics and didn’t know her background so this film was a complete surprise in story and character to me so basically I went into it with completely fresh eyes. The film opens right away with a nightmare from Vers aka Carol Danvers (played by the lovely Brie Larson). We experience her in a plane crash with a alien approaching her with a flash of white light as she gets shot at. This scene is a central part of the films entire story and third act. She then shares scenes with Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) during some fight training leading into their first battle as a group with Djimon Hounsou (playing his same character from Guardians of the Galaxy) and Gemma Chan. The films first act does suffer from some confusing sequences and I did find myself a little confused and scattered with how the first 25 minutes of the film was laying out the story. I don’t know if was the editing or how the script laid out the structure but it’s not something that is a problem for Marvel films usually. Once Carol crashes on Earth, that’s when the film gets going. We are treated to many funny sequences especially one where she crash lands into a Blockbuster Video and this is because the film takes place in the year 1995. I will say that this really makes me miss having them around. Her scenes with Sam Jackson are some of the best moments. They jump from set piece to set piece with hilarious banter and action sequences. We get to know why this working relationship was such a crucial part to the end credit sequence in the end of Infinity War. Now, some people maybe asking how well the de-aging special effects work in the film. As you know, Sam Jackson and Clark Gregg needed to be de-aged for the film due to it taking place more then 20 years before the events in The Avengers. I am glad to say that Sam Jackson’s de-aging looks flawless. They did a fantastic job and can hardly tell that any effects were used on his face at all. The same can’t be said for Clark Gregg as many scenes due look a little to CG on his face, especially some expressions. It’s defintely nowhere near as bad as Tron Legacy de-aging though but I forgive it in that film because that’s when this effect work was just starting. It has come a long way. I have heard some people upset with Brie Larson’s performance here. I can admit at first, I wasn’t fully buying into her. When we look at past Marvel films, stars like Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. were just beyond perfect playing Captain America and Iron Man. They just fit the roles so perfectly. Like I said before, I don’t know much about Captain Marvel so I can’t make a comparison. As the film goes on, Brie Larson starts to feel more and more like the character I would imagine her to be and by the end, I couldn’t wait to see her in the upcoming “Avengers Endgame”. Every moment in third act bridges our journey to Endgame (make sure to watch the end credit scene). All in all, Captain Marvel is another good addition to the Marvel Universe and definitely makes you wonder if the sequel will show us the War on Kree. Phase four of Marvel is headed in a great direction and Endgame can’t come fast enough with a worthy addition of Captain Marvel.

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.… Expand

Captain Marvel was actually aCaptain 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!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite some of the controversy about this movie and along with Larson, I thought it was pretty alright. The plot doesn't make sense in some cases, and there are some contrived moments, such as the fact that Nick Fury, a man who has a high ranking in SHEILD, is dispatched to a strange event at a Blockbuster along with a rookie. I did however really like the twist that the Kree were the villains the whole time, and Carol was brainwashed by them to fight against the "enemy" which were really just refugees. There are some funny moments in this movie. Perhaps not as much as other MCU movies, but it is refreshing to not have the characters quip every 2 sentences like in Thor: Love and Thunder. Carol is a bit overpowered at the end, but to be fair the final confrontation between her and Yon-Rogg was pretty funny because of how easily she blasted him away. This movie certainly deserves more than a 3.0, which was the overall audience score at the time that I write this.… Expand

Yes, the film isn't perfect and, seeing what was released in those years, it's definitely the weak link of the bunch. But here to say that it is a bad film is needed. If you look at it, it's not to be thrown away. Very underrated

En effet quand on le regarde a posteriori de tous les dramas qu’il y a eu on se rend compte que c’était vraiment que des clivages politiques inintéressants Le développement de l'héro est donc plutôt réussi à mon sens

L’écriture est pas mal aussi, je trouve que ça change de la formule habituel des films de super-héros à base de bagarre -> humour -> émotions -> bagarre -> humour -> émotions. Ça se mélange bien ici en tout cas c’est le ressenti que j’ai eu Ensuite, niveau fx ça en jette on voit directement que c’est assez récent, ça donne quelque chose de plus a captain Marvel Concernant le scénario c’est pas dingue mais bon si on va voir un film de super-héros on ne s'attend pas à plus, malheureusement Mais dans la chronologie Marvel c’est un bon point au final parce que ça laisse une ouverture pour la suite (j’essaye de défendre le scénar comme je peux)… Expand

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.

TheCaptain 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.… Expand

The "buddy comedy" element often fell flat. Larson's acting and persona also often seemed a bit flat. The action and combat scenes were par for the course, and often relied on the hackneyed "frame the shot too close and edit it too fast to see what's happening, so as to disguise the otherwise boring choreography" we see too often in movies.

On the whole, this just wasn't up to Marvel standards. It was ok, but nothing special.… Expand

My rating would be a 1 or 2 if I were to consider the PR and the trailers. Deciding to dwell in the culture wars at this time is just insane. Doing it on the wrong side, both morally and considering the fandom is even worst. That SHOULD NOT be relevant to the movie score itself.
Now the movie> Brie Larson was misscast. She is a good actress but she was not good here. I kind of understand what they tried to do with the tone of the movie, but DC proved it doesn't work for comic book fans. The trope is hilarious, but the movie would be better if Vers did smile more. Her acting at the first hour of the movie would be justifiable considering her backgrond, if they didn't signal the idea that she was "emotional" multiple times. Didn't see much emotion there. It would be a great twist to have her robotic self get more emotional while she discovers more about her past. That would be some GREAT writing and would allow her to show her acting range. Fury saved the movie. And so did Coulson. not much love for him, but if we had double his screen time it would be amazing. A trio instead of a duo adventuring around. Who knows, if they didn't want to push a narrative we could have had that. The villain... Well... The real villain was just abismal. Jude law deserved better. But the Kree "villain" was just great. From a war monger motivation to a desperate man trying to save his family and deciding to risk everything on the humanity of the person who was also a victim of the real villain.
In the Captain marvel movie, every plot point not 100% directed at her is decent or even great. Everything regarding her feels forced and rushed. Funny thing, isn't it?
I have mixed feeling about the ending. My inner child just loves the Dragon ball ending, with Goku (Cap Marvel) flying around, like a SS(Super Saiyan), destroying everything. if we had more SS and less SJW, the movie could be an 8/10
She looked too op, but it was great fun. I almost did 5/6, but the cat pushed it a point further.… Expand

Metacritic is removing newlines for some reason. The MCU now has a Goku. There is a long running joke in Dragonball Z abridged where when a good guy is losing a fight, the villain would mock them by saying "just wait for Goku." By the end of the movie, Captain Marvel is so powerful that absolutely nothing is a threat. Not the main villain, not the orbital bombardment fleet, and not the hundreds of soldiers and warfighters sent against her. The reason she wasn't present in the other movies is explained, but IMO it is a cop-out. When Captain Marvel inevitably wipes the floor with Thanos in end game, the Dragonball Z knockoff saga that is now the MCU will be complete, last minute Goku/Superman syndrome and all. But that's the MCU. How does the movie stand on it's own? My answer: solid 6.5/10. With Captain Marvel being so powerful, the story hook is focused mainly on Captain Marvel's struggle with fabricated memories, as well as a war where the sides don't seem so clear cut. The set up is perfect for a story about an OP character, and the general story beats worked out great. The Effects and choreography were par for the course for MCU movies (good), and the acting was Mostly done well. In terms of the movie itself, I had several issues. The pacing felt off in many of the scenes, with a few weird glaring continuity errors right at the start of the movie. Sometimes the scenes played kind of slow, other times they transitioned before the previous scene could sink in. The acting from the lead, Brie Larson, felt pretty stiff. This seemed to be as much the director and writers' fault as it was the actor though. Captain Marvel is often smug throughout the movie, though she randomly goes from super confident and smiley to super serious throughout both fights and tense moments. I think Disney wanted a hero that is both stoic, and funny, and is in general better than everyone else. The result feels like a fan-fiction insert. As for the acting itself, there was a scene that perfectly exemplified my issues: Maria Rambeau talks with Captain Marvel to fill in some of the holes in Marvel's memory. This is a very emotional scene for both characters and in Rambeau and it clearly shows. However, Captain Marvel (who seemed like she should be just as emotional at the things being revealed to her) twitches a little bit must mostly keeps the same stone face. As for the identity politics: they were present, bot nowhere near the level we see in the recent comics.… Expand

Since that time, the popularity of the Marvel franchise has only grown and the call for a female lead movie has only increased with each passing year. In 2019, her time has come, as Marvel introduces its most powerful hero to us on the cusp of Endgame, Captain Marvel.

The movie opens with Vers, a member of the Kree Starforce. She’s plagued by dreams of another life, one that seems familiar, but she cannot place. He mentor Yon-Rogg, continually lectures her about her emotional state and how her emotions and memories are holding back her true power. The Supreme Intelligence (an artificial intelligence for the Kree people that is a collection of all their greatest minds) reminds Vers of this same thing, her power can be taken away, just as it was given, if she does not learn to fall in line, control her emotions and follow orders. On top of all of this, there are the shapeshifting Skrulls, the sworn enemies of the Kree who are seen as terrorists, infiltrating planets clandestinely to turn them against the Kree.

If all of this seems like a lot, it is. The beginning of the movie is disjointed and disorienting. It takes a while to catch everything that is happening, who is who and how it all fits together. It’s also not helped by flashbacks to Veers previous life on Earth. This is the single biggest problem with the movie. The prehistory of Vers (Carol Danvers), is one of immense hardship, a bad family, constantly being told she’s not good enough or will never make it, always being put down. Her past life is struggle.

The issue is, that this theme of struggle seems incongruous with what we see in the present. There is never a situation that Carol is in, that she cannot handle. In fact, it’s all pretty easy for her. Even when her powers are taken away, she is able to beat up everyone in the room.

Her struggle for identity is also a frustration. This should be the core of the movie, the question of, “who am I.” She’s a woman without a past, that is tortured with memories that don’t make sense, yet you never feel that. Honestly Veers and Danvers are pretty much the same. There is not a shift in characterization or tone, it is all one note and that note is, “I’m too cool for school.” In the end, the lead character ends up being the least interesting person on screen.

This is accentuated but the fact that she is surrounded by good actors on every side. Samuel L. Jackson is back as a younger Fury and he’s great. You truly believe this is a man that’s confronted with his first alien encounter, that this is his first step into a much larger world. Ben Mendelsohn steals the show as the Skrull Talos. Every time he is on screen, he’s electric. Lashana Lynch as Maria Rambeau is better here than Larson. Her portrayal of Danvers’ best friend is heartfelt and emotional.

Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, both are de-aged in the film. At first, it is off-putting, as it does not look completely believable. Gregg unfortunately will never look right, but Jackson does begin to look better throughout the film and some scenes are better than others. Unfortunately the inconstancy draws your attention to something the filmmakers want you to be able to forget, but never can.

Captain Marvel never reaches the heights of Marvel’s best. There aren’t stand out action moments that you’ll walk out of the theater talking about. The lack of narrative and thematic cohesion, plus the lack of a strong arc for the main character put the movie firmly in middle of the Marvel pack, it’s neither a train wreck or a stand out, it’s just kinda there. What’s most disappointing is not feeling like Carol Danvers is anything other than a powerful pawn being placed on the Marvel board for a movie that’s not her’s. Carol Danvers deserved better. Captain Marvel is rated 3 out 5 stars.… Expand

Captain Marvel defeats both men and women inCaptain Marvel is an important movie for the future of the MCU, and it's good despite its flaws. Trust me, the surrounding online negativity about ultra-feminism in this movie is unfounded.

Captain Marvel defeats both men and women in combat, but there is no political undertone (unless you count one instance of the song "Just A Girl" playing in the background during a fight as being SJW propaganda). It's just a movie showing that women can be heroes, too. If Bruce Banner can get super-powers due to a gamma ray accident and become The Hulk, so can Carol Danvers become a cosmic superhero due to an explosion. No one has ever complained about strong female characters such as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movies or Ellen Ripley in the Alien film series, so complaints about Captain Marvel being feminist are ridiculous. There is not a single scene where Carol Danvers declares men as being inferior to women, or anything like it.

The movie is a prequel set in 1995, where Nick Fury and Phil Coulson are still low-level SHIELD agents. Captain Marvel is already powerful and has to re-discover her past, while she's caught in the Kree-Skrull war. The plot is good enough, with twists and turns, but they left a few threads hanging for a potential sequel. For those complaining that Marvel didn't set up the Secret Invasion with the Skrulls, yes it would have been cool to see that, but fans should know that Marvel won't adapt classic stories anymore but they'll try to tell original stories with the characters in order to surprise fans.

I could list various minor issues I have with the film but my only major criticism is the star of the movie, Brie Larson. She's not bad, but she's mostly emotionless. Even when Carol Danvers discovers the truth about her past, and when she discovers an all-new power, she hardly expresses any emotion. Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, for instance, screamed with joy when he flew for the 1st time in his Iron Man suit. But the problem may be due to Captain Marvel's cosmic powers, which render her ridiculously super-powerful and un-beatable.

The movie has a soundtrack with a selection of some cool 1990s songs, but the Gaurdians of the Galaxy films did a much better job in this regard.

Captain Marvel is a nice addition to the MCU but its plot doesn't really add something noteworthy. The Wonder Woman film did a much better job in establishing female-led superhero movies.

Last but not least, Captain Marvel is the 1st MCU movie after the passing of Stan Lee, and it starts with the Marvel intro sequence showcasing past Stan Lee cameos! I almost cried when watching this tribute.… Expand

The critical point I can takeThis movie has been making all kinds waves hasn't it, both good and bad but really to me all I care about is if I enjoyed it or not and i just have to say I enjoyed MOST of it.Captain Marvel was a good movie. The critical point I can take away from this movie is that Brie Larsson as Captain Marvel was actually quite good, not amazing but she actually did a fine job as Captain Marvel, from the trailers she came off as dry and a charisma vacuum but thank goodness in the movie she was actually funny,witty and kind of charismatic for most of the movie like the usual Marvel Superheroes. She did however have some dry spells in the movie especially some of the dialogue but that didn't ruin the movie for me.So in short Brie Larson did a good enough job in the role of Captain Marvel.

The best characters by far where Yon-Rogg played by Jude Law and Talos the Skrull leader played by Ben Mendelsohn. Both gave very good performances and had compelling story arcs.While Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury was good in the first and second act of the movie,and had great chemistry with Brie Larsson in the 3rd act of the movie Nick Fury become a chump and was rather useless in the movie although I get he is younger and not the Nick Fury we know from other Marvel movies he is just another different person in Captain Marvel which was kind of disappointing.Other characters such as Captain Marvel's friend Maria, the kree police force were fine or were just there and Phil Coulson and Roman were just glorified cameos.

What I liked about the movie was the the pace especially in the first and second act as the movie balanced action and story well.The movie had a fast pace but never too fast and I appreciateed that it didn't have the regular Origin Story formula, however I would have liked for the movie to explore more on Captain Marvel's origins so that I could Care about her character more as there isnt really much character development from Captain Marvel. Of course this is a Marvel movie so it had some funny moments and some uneeded and out of place humor as expected from a Marvel Movie. The skulls were really good in the movie especially Ben's performance as the Skrull leader Talos he was charismatic,funny and had an interesting arc. The movie takes an interesting twist involving the skrulls which was nice and made the movie more interesting.

The villain in this movie comes as a surprise in the movie so I won't spoil it but it is a good twist and makes sense so thumbs up for the villain with is rare for Marvel Movies.The action was fine, nothing spectacular but most of the action sequences were solid, they were just fine thats all I have to say about the action.The CGI was also very good especially the deaging process to Samuel L Jackson was very impressive and the effects on Captain Marvel's powers were cool especially when she had the helmet on it was bad ass.

Now by biggest issue with the movie and what I didn't enjoy was the 3rd act in this movie, my gosh especially the last 30 minutes were just disappointing. There were some bland action sequences,unfunny scenes and it was just the generic Marvel last third fight scene.Now one of the complaints from people is that the character of Captain Marvel is overpowered, I never count this as a bad thing if there are high stakes against the character and if the story is interesting. In Captain Marvel's case there was no serious threat in the 3rd act and the story became bland. Now the 3rd act wasn't that terrible but was just too generic and uninteresting and also really lazy.

Also speaking of lazy some of the dialogue was so cringey sometimes thankfully it was just a small bit but it was still noticeable and although I didn't want to speak on this the feminism and sjw aspect people are complaining about in Captain Marvel, I myself didn't care on those issues and although some of it is in the movie in sprinkles it wasnt preachy or anything as some people are exaggerating. It was noticeable but didn't ma… Expand

I found the story to be good, but confusing. I understood the main plot twist, but some the actions prior to the "switch" made no sense considering the actual truth. The supporting cast REALLY carry this movie. I think Bri Larson was good, in specific scenes, but overall, not great collectively in this film. She felt "medicated", if you will, by showing no emotion through some of the climax of the movie. It is strange saying this, given that she has won an Academy Award for leading actress, but she forgot how to act in this film.

The end picks up and leads right into End Game, so Marvel fans MUST see this movie. My true review is a 6.5/10.… Expand

Not Marvel's worst movie- Dark World still reigns supreme there-, but sadly it ranges primarily from "meh" to "pretty good". Brie Larson does a decent job, but for whatever the reason she mostly just comes off as flat throughout the movie.Not Marvel's worst movie- Dark World still reigns supreme there-, but sadly it ranges primarily from "meh" to "pretty good". Brie Larson does a decent job, but for whatever the reason she mostly just comes off as flat throughout the movie. Meanwhile, Samuel L. Jackson is definitely the stand out in this film, and the rest of the supporting cast mostly hits.

In my honest opinion, the only reason this movie doesn't excel as it should is because it has the burden of serving as origin story to this supposedly integral character during a point in the MCU where an origin story just feels jarring. Infinity raised the stakes so high, and this movie did little to sate my appetite for what's coming next. Had this been a Phase 1 film, it probably would have fared much better, but as it is now, only a month out from Infinity War, it just feels average.… Expand

Captain Marvel doesn't manage to be the monumental film that it thinks it is, especially because it finally has a female lead character and yet despite the scale of the narrative, it never compensates the viewer like it should.

It's true that has more negative points than positive ones but nothing that affects its performance in a significant way.

Significant annotations:

Pros
- A powerful female character that will not be lost among the great male names like Thor, Captain America and Iron Man
- Marvel points to space which is the best place they can go if they want to keep their franchise alive.
-
Cons
- You cannot help feeling this story like a forced introduction to have the character ready for Endgame.
- What they did with the Skrulls has no name. At the same level of what they did with The Mandarin.
- Marvel wasted Ronan again.
- There's no real villain or conflict.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a decent superhero film, not amazing, but not terrible. I feel like Captain Marvel is played a bit too stoic/stale up until the second half of the movie. Nick Fury steals the scene on many occasions. The 90's nostalgia bits fit nicely, if not too heavy-handed at times. As for the tie-in to the greater MCU/Avengers storyline, there was very little in the way of impact when it comes to End Game. The bit about how the Avengers got their name felt cheap and forced, something that didn't need to happen, just like when we found out how Han Solo got his name. On the other hand, learning what happened to Fury's eye was a gag played very well throughout the film. Overall, a mixed bag. I can see why some people may enjoy it more than others, the target demographic was very specific, and the movie made no attempt to cover this. It was tiresome at some points, but overall didn't ruin the experience for me.… Expand

There are some genuinely entertaining parts of the movie that I enjoyed. But unfortunately, most of what makes the good parts of the movie are the supporting actors like Samuel L.

She looks uncomfortable in her skin, and she looked like she had to remind herself she's a superhero or a member of a galactic police force. She was trying to strike heroic poses for half the movie, which was extremely awkward, and it takes the audience out of the immersion.

- 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… Expand

Because she is a symbol through her attitude and the fact that her actions spoke louder than words. Gal Gadot had no godlike superpowers, but her inspiring presence and principles transformed her into a feminine tour-de-force. And then comes Brie Larson.

"Captain Marvel" is, more or less, "Wonder Woman" for teenage ladies who feel they should be extra-appreciated simply because they happen to be born with two XX chromosomes. There are scenes of visual beauty, bravado, grandeur, but lacking action. The early scenes when Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) had flashes about her past, linger on for too long as if they are trying to push an idea without any real effort. The last scenes in which she soars through the sky are a delight for the pupil, but again they almost feel like an angry release.

With her feet grounded, Larson is funny and rebellious, at least when she is not annoying and condescending. Happily she is joined by an always natural, free-flowing MF'er by the name of Samuel L. Jackson playing my favorite version of Nick Fury. He is young, as is the world around him. The constant 90's references are great for laughs, if nothing else. I mean, come on, what is cooler than having an important moment in the plot slowed by the imminent loading line of a CRT monitor white PC--hey, where is the file that will reveal my past? Hold on, it's loading.

But while Larson might be a bit toxic, I was surprised by that unexpected twist around the film's middle which I will not spoil here and, for a brief moment, this film went deeper than any Marvel film did, as Carol was struggling with her identity. The way in which the characters in "Dark City" had their memories and identities twisted came into my mind at that point. As expected, though, the film moved on from that path pretty quickly.

This film could have been and should have been the big break for powerful women as it boasted many firsts for the ladies in a Marvel film--not only the first female lead but also the first female to compose the soundtrack. Starting from the music, the girl power anthem is strong here, if only it were women power.… Expand

The movie just seemed like it should've been amazing but like Black Panther, it seemed to just be an explanation as to why this new character was in the next movie.
