Captain Marvel

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an avid comic book reader, and someone who has been on top of the MCU movies, this one by far was the worst. Taking all of the other movies in relation to it to review it on its own, I'll go ahead and speak on the movie itself. This movie itself feels forced. The storyline has some good points, I loved Goose (the cat) and Samuel L Jackson was good in this movie as well. I loved the idea of Monica Rambeau being in this movie, but they way they retconned her into this movie, as a comic fan, really irritates me. She was Captain Marvel well before Carol Danvers was, and if I had my say in it, would have been a much better Captain Marvel than Danvers, who was generally looked down upon in the comic universe. That being said, the movie itself was very boring and dry. The Skrulls were very generic and boring as a enemy and Talos didn't impress either. As usual with most MCU movies, the CGI was excellent, but Brie Larson as Captain Marvel was very stiff and rigid and emotionless. They took the life and character out of something that could have been much better. The ending fight was rather rushed and sketch, with going from someone lost in what their powers were to full "super sayan" to No Doubt's - I'm Just A Girl (which is a real awkward song to play during a fight scene by the way). In the end what we get is a sub par, boring, and rather lackluster introduction to a MCU character who is portrayed as rigid and stiff. If their goal was to make a political statement, which I feel they jabbed at from time to time, but really wasn't anything that bothered me. Some emotion and overcoming her situations would have made Captain Marvel much more acceptable. Alas, all things aside, this is a boring story arch reconned in a bad way, that is easily forgettable. Hopefully if they plan to flesh her out in End Game and make her more endearing to Marvel fans, then maybe she will have a better future going forward. Unfortunately, this movie is not a good start to the storyarch of this character. Its one I won't be bothered to watch again.… Expand

There's about as much personality in the main character as a road accident. The writing was lightweight in that regard, but I feel a better actor could have put more life in the same movie script.

While it is not Marvels best movie, not thinking about the controversies, Captain Marvel is a fun edition to the MCU. And most VERY negative with no real reason are most likely fake. Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, and the Skrulls are highlights.

I had heard many of the viewers criticisms but waited to see it to come to my own conclusion. This is the worse MCU movie to date. There are many things that make this movie the worst. First has to be the missed casting of Brie Larson as many critics have said her performance was wooden and lack luster with little to no change in expression through out the whole movie. It seemed the she doesn't take her part seriously and phoned in a poor performance. In the comics she is a strong leader, independent, positive, and heroic. None of these characteristics show up in Brie Larson's performance. Even at the big heroic part of the movie was flat and just a bunch of CG confusing stuff thrown onto the screen. Part of her performance must be blamed on a terrible, awful, uneven poorly written script. There were times where the dialog was so stilted from one character to the other it seemed like a poor high school play. Ex-specially the scenes between Brie L. and Samuel J. which many were played as the humorous (humor-less) scenes. The music was another of the problems with this movie. Unlike Guardians of the Galaxy where the music was well edited into the movie and enhanced the scenes. In this movie it was jammed into this movie to the point where it was jarring and took me out of the scene. The feminist agenda has to be talked about in this movie. In no other MCU movie up to now has an external real world agenda was forced into a movie that it changed the movie to the worst. I'm a long time Marvel comic book reader and was amazed and upset that the true origin of Captain Marvel was totally dismissed. The original Captain Marvel was male Kree warrior who decides to become one of the cosmic heroes that chooses to protect earth and its people. He ends up dying from cancer that was caused by the power he used to protect earth. Because of the feminist view they decided in this movie to totally dismiss the deep and rich comic history to displace with a weak feminist character. I have no problem to female lead characters but what I have a problem with is poorly written and acted ones. Conclusion: Poorly written, cast, acted, and choices all though this movie, where popular agenda out weighs good writing and choices. Skip this movie you really don't need to see this to watch "End Game"… Expand

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

As an old fan of Marvel comics, there are serious implication here. The plot is very very different from the original, but Capitain Marvel movie must be seen as a complement of the whole MCU - This is a not a stand alone movie and in fact I saw this movie as a introduction of Marvel to the End Game. Yes, it's not the best MCU movie and shouldn't BE, since it's a middle story of an epic (for me the best of all times) -> "Avengers infinity war" - If you take all the content and story acting int the MCU context that makes the whole sense and also leads me to think what will come next on the Endgame - for me Mar-Vell in the comics as much in the MCU isn't a forgettable movie. I rather say that in the MCU context it is a twist, and I love the hang cliff twisted stories. It just ads spice.

ps: what if in the End game we could see inside the quantum reality, the comics reality portrait into a parallel universe of the MCU, where the things goes differently. What if? #mymindisblowing comics be a parallel universe of the MCU, Doctor strange might know better than us :D (don't blame me but I love this!!!!)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *whew* Well this was... disappointing. "Captain Marvel" in every sense of the word, feels just like a lazy, half-baked movie, with little to no substance. The plot itself centers around our titular character trying to find a past she can't remember. Hey, Marvel, quick question. How did you make it not interesting?!?!? Like come on, their are so many routes to take with a hero not able to remember their past but decide to keep doing what they think is right. Where did you guys take it? The most generic place possible. On the one hand, I do like Nick Fury in this a whole lot, and their are some very funny moments, but overall, it's a very 'meh' film, and i find this a problem for three specific reasons. 1. You made the character of "Ant-Man" interesting!!! This shouldn't have been hard to make her interesting. 2. Theirs a lot of claims this is the big women empowerment movie, and if I was a woman, and this wad the movie you gave me, I'd be pissed off to no extent. 3. "Alita: Battle Angel" came out, and that had an interesting female lead, great action, and amazing side characters. Why do I bring this up? Because you're Marvel, you're the top dogs of interesting leads, lovable side characters, and great action. This whole movie is just so meh, because their is obviously some effort thrown into it, but not with passion. Take "Black Panther"; despite all its flaws, it's very evident the movie was made with so much passion and heart. This feels like no passion went into it, and it very clearly shows. I'm not against women centered, or female empowerment movies at all, but I want to see them done right. If I ever have a daughter, and she wants to see something bad ass with women in it, I'm gonna show her "Alita", or "Wonder Woman", because those are well done, passionate, and show her it's okay for her to be who she is. All I can is, please don't let "Black Widow" suck.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the weaker MCU films that really never finds its stride, the premise is quite good but the execution and performances aren’t and there are some plot holes that spoil the film for me. Whether it is a casting or script problem for me Brie Larson doesn’t really present a capturing character. I get it that her thing (before being basically gifted her abilities in a plane crash) is that she is a battler who doesn’t lie down. However, this is only demonstrated in flash backs which dont flesh the character out as you never really get caught up in the drama of those moments. Plus in the film people are far more horrible to her and more consistently than you would believe is credible in real life unless that person was a total detestable cretin.. Other issues with the film for me were I knew from the first five minutes that she was siding with “bad guys” as one of the kree was a villain in guardians of the galaxy.. in terms of viewing chronology it would be better to see this film first...

Finally the skulls are presented as peaceful loving family type aliens which removes any doubt as to the worthiness of captain marvel finding them a home. Hmm it would have been better if they were also evil scumbags who were thoroughly despicable and have a moral play on whether it is just to accept / participate in their genocide. Similarly the kree are also one dimensional characters which is disappointing. Even if we we know some of them are total jerks we could have had some ambiguity in the film, her team could have shown some conflict about having to fight her (one does in one scene), but this should have been much more developed and explored.… Expand

I was not one of the people who gave any stock in the pre-release internet chaos. I have liked nearly all the MCU movies up till now, and then they released this, which is supposed to be the face of the franchise going forward.

The Good:I was not one of the people who gave any stock in the pre-release internet chaos. I have liked nearly all the MCU movies up till now, and then they released this, which is supposed to be the face of the franchise going forward.

The Good: Samuel L Jackson was the only reason I did not walk out of this movie.

The Bad: Brie Larson was as bad as people have said, no question. Very wooden performance. The jokes were forced and they all fell flat and missed the mark. The CGI was unacceptable for a Marvel movie. The effects were akin to something you would do yourself 10 years ago on a pc. There is no growth to the character at all, no arc. There is no tension as she is unstoppable and you never feel worried that something will happen to her. Without spoilers, the eye thing is the worst explanation they could have devised.

Agree with me or not, but I suggest you take off your fanboy/girl blinders and judge this movie on it's merits, not blindly. This is the absolute worst MCU movie to date, and I hope they learn from their mistake.… Expand

At this stage so late in the game, this movie should’ve been as good as the most recent Marvel movies but it was plain dull and pretty stupid. Even as a female viewer, I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the dialogue and song choices. Brie Larson was horribly miscast for this role. Academy awards mean nothing as we’ve seen with Halle Berry and other winners who are more than capable of giving terrible performances sometimes. The character of Carol Danvers was completely uninteresting and kind of unlikable. I feel a bit uneasy about Endgame as I know Captain Marvel is being pushed as a big player but I would honestly rather her role be as limited as possible. It’s such a shame the writing, direction, and acting couldn’t be up to the current standard we’re at now. I really wish Captain Marvel came out 5 years ago so at least they could’ve had a second go of developing a much better storyline and character that could fit in nicely with the Avengers.… Expand

Not going opening weekend was a good thing, I think. Overall, the movie is OK. The writing for the movie is pretty decent, with the funny scenes you would expect from any Marvel movie these days. The plot is not very interesting or exciting, but if you're going to see the movie just to see Captain Marvel's origin story and her place in the MCU, it's fine. In many ways, the movie is designed to be a teaser for Endgame, and in that role, it does its job.

Brie's performance in the movie may not have been Oscar worthy, but it was good. I think some people's opinions of her are biased by some of the things she's said prior to the film's release. And, she's said some objectively incorrect things.

My only wish is that Brie and others would realize that people who are critical of the movie are not necessarily critical because of sexist reasons. I'm sorry, the plot to the movie is thin. It just is. That has nothing to do with who is the protagonist. The people who say stuff like that (I'm looking at you, Brie, Clark, et al) forget that the same people criticizing this movie loved movies like Wonder Woman, Rogue One, Alita: Battle Angel, Atomic Blonde, Aliens, Ghost in the Shell (once you get past the white washing), and others, all of whom came first and all of whom did it better. If the fans have such a problem with female heroines, why do those movies all have better reviews? Don't blame gender politics, look within, and make better 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

Despite a pretty interesting third act twist, the rest of the movie was not strong at all. It was as if they got the MCU template and put in Carol Danvers. It also didn't really help that Brie Larson's acting was hit and miss here. It is a shame because I can see she is trying super hard being excellent but the script isn't sharp or interesting enough. It was entertaining though and it got better as it went on. But it says a lot when my fave character was the cat and not Carol Danvers...

Brie Larson'sUnfortunately I wasn't too happy with the pre-marking of this movie which may have impacted my expectations and overall feel for this movie... The theater was almost empty which was strange ill give it that. Anyway... Brie Larson's performance was terrible.. maybe that was the way Captain Marvel was meant to be portrayed? An expressionless individual devoid of any emotion... Glass half full? Nick Fury was and will always be a good character in my mind so obviously I did enjoy his time onscreen and the CGI? haha was actually alright with his face in my opinion. A strange character.. Goose... Ill be honest, I enjoyed watching Goose's antics which was another highlight.

The flow of the movie was disjointed and difficult to understand what was going on in the first half of the movie... I couldn't tell if it was the movie itself... I was tired or simply because I was getting a little bored. The 25% of the movie however made up for it I suppose but then again I just wasted 75% of time here.

The fight scenes... well... mediocre at best and not memorable. The bad guys? zzzzz again.. not memorable.

Upsides? Music.. 95% of it was awesome. I grew up with most of the music and it took a leaf out of Guardians Of The Galaxy which is not a bad thing in this regard (and Thor.. my FAV!)

Overall... boring story line... boring and lifeless main character... not exactly the worst movie in MCU but obviously not the greatest. I don't understand how this movie is getting high ratings for? It was pushed in right at the end and was a rush job. Endgame... I certain hope Captain Marvels role is very limited...… Expand

I know Brie Larson can act, and I can't imagine that Marvel didn't have the money to giver her a nice big check, so I can't understandHoo boy is this movie a trying on one's patience. I almost fell asleep during this movie a couple times. I know Brie Larson can act, and I can't imagine that Marvel didn't have the money to giver her a nice big check, so I can't understand why the bad guy skrulls with 10 lbs of makeup on their face can act better than she can in this movie.

This movie is better than I expected, but I wasn't expecting much, and this movie still fails to be that entertaining of a romp. I'm admittedly rather picky when it comes to my movies, especially if I'm to be paying 8-10 dollars for a movie ticket, and I'm sorry that this movie came out at such prices. Honestly refunds should be in order.

The movie is decent in every way that you'd expect a big budget movie from the MCU to have; the cinematography and colours and other such technical things are on point enough, but the cgi honestly looks very rushed (considering that this movie was likely rushed to come out before the finale, Endgame, releases this isn't a surprise) The skrulls look kinda like the orcs from that one Will Smith movie "Bright" although not so stout and slightly different colouration. The movie manages to not look terrible for the most part, but the finale battle looks like a trailer from an early Xbox 360 game from E3 2005. Other than that the movie looks decent enough, and other aspects like Sammy J's Rejuvenation looks completely the opposite. If I hadn't known any better, I would've just said "Man, Sammy is aging like a friggin' Dorian Gray" Disney can de-age people like a wizard. Unfortunately where most of the positives stop. The plot fails to have any amount of originality to it, it has nothing to distinguish it in a good way from any other hero story out there. It has a bit of wolverine origins, a serving of captain america, a splash of Wonder Woman, a bit of Green Lantern, a smidgen of spiderman and a pinch of super girl. She's basically all the usual super hero tropes rolled into one bland character. The only times her character has more depth than a trading card is when she's interacting with Sammy's Nick Fury, the only highlights of the movie as they felt very nice and lively (one of the interactions actually made me smirk) It's hard for anyone to be a flat character around a personality like Mr. Jackson, he apparently made Brie forget why she's so upset to be in this movie at least.

The plot is also a bit of a mess, it has plot holes and problems that were overcame or explained in such a poorly done manner that they bring up more questions that answers (SPOILER-ish How in the frick does being next to explosion of an engine using the power of the tesseract make the strongest hero in the MCU but Loki using it's power in the first Avengers didn't decimate the team?! SPOILER-ish over)

There are secondary characters that also feel very bland, not only because their acting is bad either. No characters are anything other than a plot device save for the Sammy J, and the cat (Both of which characters are made lesser by the twist on how Fury got his scar)

The character, Vree is supposed to be the strongest character in the MCU, but she doesn't feel like she's earned it, she doesn't feel like she has any real power, just that her enemies are incompetent as she shows no real struggle and her "second wind" is explained by a throw away line that's just horrid writing. This is not the worst movie that the MCU has made, that dis-honor still belongs to Captain America, but it's in the same boat, it's a bad movie that they rushed out just before the big cross-over film was made.

It's worth a watch if you really like Marvel films, but it's not going to be anything that you haven't seen before and in fact couldn't have written yourself.… Expand

To me this movie makes no sense, a new (minor) hero appears, made insanely powerful, fights against a weak protagonist, rewriting MCU canon that has been loved by fans for multiple years along the way. All the time showing a broad array of lacklustre CGI, boring forgettable action sequences, and the leading actress is just a wrong cast for a super hero. The main character is a cardboard cut-out of what a hero should be, zero charisma and no idea how to play an MCU superhero. Pity MCU could not get an actress with the charisma and presence of Gal Gadot for their first female lead movie.

What’s most annoying is why must you suddenly change MCU history overnight… why Marvel?

Why would you make Nick Fury appear like some bumbling sidekick? That alone should be a sin, he is a strong leader and was never a follower of anyone... Social politics at play maybe?

Everything aside this is a poor movie by MCU standards, I would put it below Iron Man 2, it really is that bad! Not from a box office $$$ point of view, I am sure it will make a lot of money on the back of the loyal MCU fans. Your problem Marvel is loyalty is quickly lost when you betray your loyal fan base, just hope this lemon of a movie doesn’t do that.… Expand

But how can you win against an enemy who can see the future? Like Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow? No. They can defeat Thanos only by accident. Because if they are planning, he will know. And therefore there is no need for Captain Marvel. Possible scenario: Thanos take a shower and the cleaning lady enters the bathroom. She sees the gauntlet and think: "what a nice shiny glove" and take it to her kids to play. And Thanos became powerless.
Wait! If Thanos can see the future then he will know about the accident, too.

Brie Larson is a complete miscast as Cpt.Marvel. It is unsympathetic and has no potential for identification. Emily Blunt would have been a much better choice for the role, but Disney has opted for an actress who understands neither the character nor the MU and rather invites her with her questionable theses to racial thinking.

Good Job Disney! Very Family friendly!

About the manipulation of the Box Office by Disney and its affiliates regarding Cpt. Marvel, let's ignore it. It speaks for itself and the confidence in their character and the franchise.

Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, and more recently Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman made much bigger impacts with their charismatic charm and personality as well as being badass as heroines. This character and this actress don't deserve to be put to the forefront to be the new face of the MCU when all CM is, is a Mary-Sue character who essentially has no flaws. The MCU has made her over-powered, stronger than any of the other heroes we grew up with, and yes even Thanos.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain Marvel is a de facto poor movie. It feels like it was written by a 16 year-old. The dialogue is not credible, the acting is bad, the music choice for combat scenes is mind bogglingly bad, and the plot itself is mediocre beyond belief. Carol Denvers, the protagonist, is a hero that receives her power undeservingly, out of sheer luck. She was at the right place, at the right time, and that is it. For a plot that seems so fixated on making the protagonist seem like a warrior-spirited inconformist that dares to challenge her own limits, that is frankly lame and anticlimatic. The supporting characters are terrible. In one scene, her friend, a normal human being, having just witnessed an ALIEN BEING that shapeshifts, tells the ALIEN BEING that she'll "shove her foot up his ass" at the slightest provocation. Again, in an effort to make the characters (especially women) look "badass", some ridiculous situations are created, and the result is not "cool", but precisely the opposite. Nick Fury is portrayed as a fool, which I don't think is the result of deliberate character sabotage here, but should be attributed to abysmal writing instead, really. Again, it's like a movie written by a teenager. That also explains how the writers choose to portray how Fury loses his eye. The questionable event is better explained not by malice, but by sheer incompetence. Brie Larson, the actress playing Captain Marvel, is quite uncharismatic, and God knows her character needed someone with charisma to save the Captain from all her arrogant one liners and unbridled "asskickery". The movie has no actual villains, since by the time the antagonists finally reveal themselves, Captain Marvel has already ascended to godhood (this is not an exaggeration) and is capable of wiping out entire alien fleets of battleships without dropping a sweat. Alien battleships actually warp out of her presence and towards the other side of the universe, in order to escape Comet Woman Who Shoots Death Photon Blasts And Flies Through Space at Lightspeed Unscathed. When the movie finally ends, it leaves the audience feeling cheated out of any hint of tension or suspense, and thus of adventure, in what was supposed to be an adventure movie. But Captain Marvel is not an adventure movie. It's a movie about someone who gets progressively more powerful, until, at the end, the character transcends the rules of its own universe, and not a single damn is even possible to be given about the character anymore.… Expand

Apparently this random woman with a boring backstory is the first Avenger, she's been gone for awhile, shes the most powerful (for, reasons?) she has no weaknesses or a likable personality and she will be single handedly saving the actual Avengers and most likely defeating Thanos with feminism. yuk. Nick Fury was dope tho. The cat was way more likable than Brie. Her acting is as cheesy as her name.… Expand

The movie has no sense of unique style like each of the other Marvel character solo films. The music is okish, but still barely holds a candle to some of the scores from other recent Marvel flicks. I found many of the action scenes to be overly cliche and just plain boring and predictable. Half the jokes fell flat & writing overall was just bland and forgettable. You can skip this film before Endgame don't worry you aren't missing much!… Expand

It's a funny, action-packed, heroic space adventure and has a few cool twists. Brie Larson oozes charm as the wisecracking action heroine who's always looking for trouble, yet is also believably emotional as she tries to piece together her past (which gives us a variation on the superhero origin movie formula). The supporting cast is strong, Goose the cat is predictably adorable, there's tons of 90's nostalgia (and music!), and all in all it's more than enough for an entertaining 2 hours at the movies. Bonus points: lovely Stan Lee tribute in the beginning, and a post-credits scene that should make everyone even more hyped up for Avengers: Endgame (if possible).… Expand

Other than that, the movie sucks. It has no intensity, no important moments, not growth, it's slow, and it's really generic altogether. There's no feeling of urgency or something human in the story (like, where's Captain Marvel's Family?).
I give it a 4 for the acting of Jackson, the cat, and the chemistry between Jackson and Larson.
Oh, and the humor... it's TERRIBLE. It's just not funny.
Remember the humor in all of the other MCU movies? Well, it's not there anymore except for one... yes ONE joke. It's not even an entertaining movie.… Expand

There are some legitimately good scenes, a few performances were pretty good (Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law, and that’s it), and some of the action was good. The character of Captain Marvel is bad, she changes in no way. Brie Larson did a bad job, which is unexpected. She’s a great actress (see 2015’s ‘Room’), but it seemed like she didn’t care about this movie. Every one of her lines made me cringe between the mediocre writing and the terrible delivery. The plot is predictable, and music choices are really on-the-nose, most of the CGI is meh. The face work on Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg is amazing mostly. This movie is a tonal mess. The comedy is mostly hit or miss, and mostly misses for me, but I did get a few smiles out of it. It’s not a great solo movie, and it’s not a great way to introduce the character of Captain Marvel. There’s nothing that see does that shows me she can kill Thanos. It didn’t convince me that she’s any stronger any other Marvel character. In my opinion, this movie did not succeed in what it wanted to achieve, but it’s watchable, and enjoyable, and it wasn’t a negative experience, but I wasn’t blown away or anything.… Expand

Good CGI but uninspiring main hero, Skrulls feel like something that came out of Star Trek.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the first 15 minutes of the movie were slightly confusing and difficult to get a grasp on (which is the reason for it not getting a full score), it served as a good foundation for later development of the story. Brie Larson delivers a great no-nonsense character in a refreshing way, taking no **** from anyone. Fury and Coulson serve as a good background story for SHIELDs development, and Goose puts the cherry on top of the movie. Would definitely recommend as a must-watch for anyone but fragile broflakes.… Expand

The story lacked direction and pacing. No solid motivation for the protagonist's actions ever surfaced. The main character had no flaws and was impervious so there was nothing to base a hero's journey and character development on.

The use of gender politics to force critics and their websites to increase their rating of this failure is sad. This movie cannot stand on it's own merits and so has no business propping itself up on political ideologies.… Expand

And not the kind of plot holes that don’t make any sense in theI’ve seen every MCU movie in the theater at least twice. Sometimes more if I liked it enough. This one won’t be getting multiple viewings. This movie had multiple plot holes. And not the kind of plot holes that don’t make any sense in the context of this particular movie. I’m talking plot holes that negate MCU titles going all the way back to Iron Man I and Captain America the First Avenger. If you are an avid fan of the last ten years of MCU movies, fair warning, you are going to be pissed. But sadly these aren’t the only problems I saw while I wasted about two hours of my life that I’ll never get back. Brie Larson’s acting is nothing short of wooden. Her reaction to pretty much every situation in the movie good, bad or otherwise is pretty much my reaction to this movie... “Meh”. Her character Is basically no character. They could have used Micheal Myers from Halloween instead of her and you may have actually had a more entertaining movie. The only saving grace of this movie is Samuel L. Jackson and the Australian actor that plays the “villain”. Other than that it’s completely devoid of any real acting. The other problem with this movie has less to do with acting and more to do with agenda. You are constantly getting smashed over the head with girl power and how horrible men are. There’s a whole lot of men acting like pigs which just doesn’t coincide with reality. Not because guys don’t act like pigs it’s just so over the top and exaggerated that it’s cringeworthy. Then it all culminates in a fight scene with No Doubt’s “I’m Just a Girl” which would have been great had it been done right. Couple these things with a character that basically has nothing to lose and yet nothing to gain either and you have a movie with basically no direction. I’ve watched SYFY movies with better writing than this piece of crap. As it is I’m just going to pretend this movie didn’t happen.… Expand

On the surface a very generic super hero movie, look a little deeper and it is filled with cringe worth political agendas and retcons that take a wrecking ball through the already established mcu.

Nick Fury had his balls chopped off in this "film".

The one huge complaint I have is the very awkward pacing of the entire movie. Before you know it the first hour (of a two hour movie) is over and nearly nothing of great substance has occurred. The last 40 minutes of the movie is where all the story is contained. The story itself is moderately interesting, with an unexpected twist throw-in (especially if you have read the comics). However, for the most part, the story is uninspired and leaves much to be desired. For a story that was supposed to expose mass audiences to Captain Marvel for the first time, the movie spent a surprisingly little amount of time on developing Brie Larson's titular character. Moments that I felt should have held more weight felt light and delivered very little.

For the positives, some of the action scenes were very entertaining (however, the finale was plagued with a very off and unneeded song choice). Captain Marvel's powers are interesting and I can not wait for them to be further developed in future installments to see her full extent. Overall the movie suffered from poor direction and writing, but was saved in some parts through the expert talents of Samuel Jackson and some of Brie Larson's scenes really showed the potential of a really great character. However, the writing for her character was so bland and boring that Brie could only do so much with the material. A decent contribution to the MCU but not a memorable one.… Expand

The most generic and poorest Marvel movie so far, not even the special fx can save this badly scripted incoherant jumbled mess, with it's stonefaced lead that can't act or portray the male super-hero that has been gender swapped for the SJW audience.

Even though repeating some tiring flashbacksssssssss, Captain Marvel still struggling to know herself but remembering her past (that irritatingly repeated flashback) instead, character itself still unable to prove how strong she is and what she capable of despite of pushing away and flying through Ronan's ships and the DC styled eye glowing scene are annoyingly intimate. Satisfyingly surprised with its humours and the smooth connection to End Game timeline. It's not the best MCU movie, it's good but it's below average of MCU movies, it can be worth watching if you really thinking of how Captain Marvel are connected to upcoming Avengers End Game.… Expand

La pelicula esta llena de bromas que no aterrizan, dialogos sosos, e incomodos momentos diseñados para demostrar que los hombres son los responsables de todo lo que esta mal en la vida de la protagonista. Los efectos visuales no tienen nada de especial, es lo mismo que hemos visto los ultimos 10 años. El maquillaje es terrible y puede ser comparado a un episodio cualquiera de Star-Trek. Pudieron haber explotado mucho mejor las habilidades camaleonicas y la intriga causada por los Skrulls, en cambio abandonan esta linea antes de la mitad de la pelicula. La parte media de la pelicula es aburrida. Hay muchos agujeros en la trama, la personaje principal tiene poca motivacion y pasa de 1 a 10000 de poder demasiado rapido, practicamente sin merecerlo y sin buscarlo. Capitain Marvel es una Mary Sue hecha y derecha, parece que sus peleas y escenas de accion estan diseñadas solo para hacerla ver invencible y son aburridas. Es incomodo ver como los villanos quedan impotentes ante su mera presencia y no pueden mas que admirarla y temerla. Samuel L Jackson carga en us hombros la pelicula con su actuacion y muy necesarias intervenciones comicas, aun asi la pelicula se encarga de hacerlo ver tonto, descuidado e incompetente. Brie Larson no tiene carisma, pero aparentemente tenemos que hacernos a la idea de que tenga una aparicion salvadora en Avengers EndGame.… Expand
