Terrible part on Marvel's end, and another on them for picking the actors... No one should watch this.. EVER.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Movie is one of the worst MCU movies. The highlight of the movie was the Intro and Ben Mendelsson. In my opinion what captain marvel did to nick fury is the same what the last Jedi did to Luke Skywalker. This movie made me view the old MCU movies and the new movies in I totally different light. The epicnes and myth of Fury is totally gone. When I watch an MCU movie again he is for me no more the guy he was before in the movies. All of you who wanna see the movie go ahead and watch it and build your own opinion. The excitement to see endgame after that movie dropped low. I hope for best and looking forward to Shazam. Expand

The story was pointless and only exists to set up a deus ex machina for End Game. The titular character is by far the worst main character in the Marvel franchise. Closer to a DC character. I'd go as far to say WORSE than a DC character. The feminists plot threads didn't do the movie any favors either. Would not recommend! Expand

Compelling story, good VFX, Samuel L Jackson was memorable as a young Nick Fury. Great sense of humor. And ties perfectly with Endgame.

I was looking forward to this two-hour long addendum to the end credit scene in Avengers: Infinity War. Sadly, there are far too many easily avoidable flaws here to capture the imagination. I suppose the good news is that Thor: Dark World has more company at the bottom of my MCU faves list now. The bad news is that Nick Fury's bizarre "meh" reaction to losing his eye near the end also sums up well my reaction to this film as a whole. Lazy writing and careless stewardship over the MCU continuity created wholly unnecessary disappointment for this fan. Expand

It was incredibly boring. There didn't seem to be on overarching plot, just a bunch of subplots, which made the movie feel disjointed. The only reason I gave it a 3, which I think is more of a 3.5, is for the supporting characters only. That and it wasn't as focused on politics as I thought it would be. It still had moments focused on a feminist agenda though. The supporting characters are really the only reason I didn't leave the theater. Brie Larson's acting was so bland. All her emotions felt fake. Carol Danvers is overpowered for no reason and a mary sue.

Also, there were a few things that were retconned from previous films in the MCU just to fit Captain Marvel into the universe. Not only that, but the plot twists weren't surprising. There were massive plot holes, and some things just are not explained at all. The script had badly timed jokes that fell flat, though some jokes were funny.

I don't watch super hero movies (I watched the original batmans and the first spiderman + ironman movies, and thats it), and I was dragged to see this one, so please keep that in mind as I have no bar to compare it to other super hero moviesI don't watch super hero movies (I watched the original batmans and the first spiderman + ironman movies, and thats it), and I was dragged to see this one, so please keep that in mind as I have no bar to compare it to other super hero movies with. That being said, the only highlight of this movie was Nick Fury - who is only there for comic relief. The main character (captain marvel) is a charisma-less block of wood with zero personality, unless being bipolar is a personality. The best way I can think to explain the plot is to compare it to Rogue One. It's all over the place, and at times feels like it doesn't know where it's going - the pacing is an absolute nightmare. Overall, this is a movie that no one asked for, and that no one needed.

If this is how most super hero movies are, I think my staying as far away from them as possible was the right call.

Captain Marvel is the best example of NOT to make a female protagonist.

Let's get it straight nobody cares how if the MC is male/female or other we as the audience want only a great character that we can associate with a look at spiderman people like Peter because he is relatable, and if you wish for a female example we have characters people have grown to care for like Black Widow and Scarlet Witch yet they are now being discarded into a series instead of full movie.
Now going into the actual movie it was mediocre at best my favourite moment was literally when we saw a cat...
Visually horrible and fight scenes were meh.
Worst Marvel movie since the 2nd Thor. Don't recommend

Fun superhero movie done in the usual Marvel style - looks good visually, has the right balance of action, humor and drama, hard to find anyhing not to like about it. Maybe one thing: there's no real explanation of how she gets to the levelFun superhero movie done in the usual Marvel style - looks good visually, has the right balance of action, humor and drama, hard to find anyhing not to like about it. Maybe one thing: there's no real explanation of how she gets to the level of power she has in the end. I know many comicbooky "explanations" of these things are pretty stupid, but they're almost always better that no explanation at all. So 1 point lost for that. And ofc 1 point lost for being a popcorn-movie and not having the kind of depth and character development some other superhero shows have shown possible (Unbreakable or Jessica Jones the series).

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

Larson gives a forgettable performance. Her internal conflict amounts to standing up against some vague memories of "the white patriarchy" keeping her down. Every time she's on screen you look for some other supporting role to relieve her. Literally every other character offers more depth to their roles and to the movie overall. The movie would have been better if it had focused on Nick Fury as the main character and chronicled this event as a part of his past. Larson really doesn't bring anything. 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.

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

Captain Marvel was not the worst Marvel film to date, but it is bottom 10. For me it is #5 for the bottom 5, however I can see a few movies that it could be tied with, so safe to say it is bottom 10.

For me it is #5 for the bottom 5, however I can see a few movies that it could be tied with, so safe to say it is bottom 10. Brie Larson may very well be an Oscar award winning actress, but she did not get it in comedy or action, and it shows. Her presentation of the character seems uncomfortable, like she isn't sure how to act the part. She presents Captain Marvel as very one dimensional, and this is in part due to the writing as well, so it is not all on her. However, her delivery of lines is bland, her jokes are dry and seem forced for her. Some were funny, but most didn't feel right. There were some cringe worthy moments in the film, even with the interactions between her and Samuel L. Jackson. Like they are almost forcing the concept that they get along. It took you out of the movie a few times. Because Brie Larson highly politicized this movie, the political moments stand out more to me because I was aware of it. I think if she hadn't been so political with it, these political moments wouldn't have stood out as more, but there were definitely at least a half a dozen hard eye-roll moments that felt completely unnecessary. The action itself was good, but anti-climactic. The big breakout moments for Captain Marvel were underwhelming and didn't quite get you in the feels. There was one moment near the end that could have been a large character development for her, and they may the decision to not act upon it so they can deliver another politically charged concept. However, I understand if they went the different route, that it may not make sense in as far as the character development didn't allow for it. You decide, but you'll know when you see it. She had two choices, and I think the other would have been better and made me cheer for her. The music is good, but sometimes out of place, and the 90s nostalgia isn't over the top. The writing really changes the source material and is disrespectful to the original characters with their changes. The first end credits scene is also a letdown when you see it. It is almost disrespectful to Marvel comics and the Avengers as well. You can guarantee that we will see it mentioned in Endgame as well.

The created some continuity issues as well with Captain America being the first Avenger, as he is called, set in the 40s and this film, as you will see in the end credits scene. As well as minor ones with Agent Coulson and SHIELD in this movie versus him and SHIELD in the first Iron man film which is set after this film. Again, I put it on the lazy writing but also Marvel studios for not catching these things which they have done so well on continuity with their other 20 films.

You won't be wasting your m
oney seeing it in the theatres, but you also wouldn't be missing out if you waited to watch it another way.


Finally, there is a twist in the film that when it happens, (and if you know marvel comics and their next big cross-over event), it will confuse you on how they will justify the next big "Avengers 4".

Unfortunately Brie Larson did not embody the hero in this film. Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark, Chris Evans IS Captain America, Chris Hemsworth IS Thor, Benedict Cumberbatch IS Dr. Strange...Brie Larson does not necessarily have to be Captain Marvel and would probably serve the character better if she was recast.

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

It's just a long, bland, "whatever" filler episode of Agents Of Shield with a guest star Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury). The production team didn't care about the movie and the actors just wanted the paycheck.

Lets just start here with the obvious. Reading through these reviews were a genuine treat, I have never had a better time giggling at comments with my friends.

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

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

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

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

Lets make it very simple and clear: Captain Marvel is really worth a watch. It's just entertaining and visually impressive, exactly what it was meant to be.

Just keep this in mind that it's an origin story so don't go looking for an overstuffed complex story. It's just a fun action movie that introduces us to a new superhero Captain Marvel, played brilliantly by Brie Larson. I became an instant fan watching her in this action heroine avatar, something she manages to pull off with ease. Watch her in the action sequences and there's no way you can't be impressed. Viewers were literally cheering for some of the most heroic moments in the film. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is as awesome as always, it's just that his character feels even better and refined than what we've seen. Jude Law is also quite good, and so are Ben Mendelsohn and Lashana Lynch.

But the one character that ultimately steals the show is Goose, the cat. Some of the sequences involving her are so hilarious that it was really difficult to stop laughing.

Visual effects are excellent, and the IMAX 3D viewing just elevated them. And since it's most importantly an action movie, every single action sequence it delivers is impressive, especially the train sequence. I would call it one of the major highlights of the movie. Cinematography in certain portions is really impressive. Humor, like any other MCU movie, is top notch and really manages to make you laugh.

Captain Marvel has a simple-looking origin story presented and executed in a terrific manner. The directors have done a great job with the characterization of Captain Marvel, and that is what makes everything in the film seem so good. The pace is brisk, gore is minimal to no, and there's nothing unsuitable for kids.

The issue that still stands is the little to none character development. I also noticed awkward screenplay and poor character relationships. It felt like the character development wasn't even touched. It seemed like everything was handed to Cap Marvel, and she never faced any struggle other than maybe dealing with Yon-Rogg. She had zero weakness and no one possed a threat to her — some of the lines that I noticed felt out of place. Apparently telling a woman a "young lady" is an insult. The relationship with Danver and Rambeau felt forced. There was zero emotional feeling even when Danvers remembers who Rambeau was. The first act was great, the second act was slow, and the third act was confusing. It's only fitting that this movie is a 5. Expand

score is forgettable and felt a bit rushed towards the end.
Bre Larson does a decent job portraying the head strong, cocky and at times witty. performance as a whole could have been better but I loved the chemestry between her and Samuel l Jackson. and are some of my favorite parts.
The supporting cast was amazing Samuel Jackson, Lashana Lynch, Ben Mendobah. Fight scenes were creative and suspenseful though at times funny.
space battles looked great and the CGI looked fine.
The story was nothing new but done well
I'm glad they avoided certain cliches that most moves do today for example in wonder woman Gal Gado walk around like and idiot even trying on dresses for like a half hour but here the main character lands and immediately acts like the soldier she is and wants to communicate with HQ and continue her mission.
One of the first scenes in the movie which involves Carols memories shows a clever way to show us some back story of the character while showing us what kind of person she is while also progressing the story.
Is this the greatest hero movie?
not at all, but it's a good movie and I recommend watching it if your a fan of the MCU.
If your not you could still get some enjoyment out of the film from the humor and action pieces alone.
and I am giving this movie a 6/10

Action scenes are mildly entertaining but nothing special. What really hurts the movie is actually the lead role. Capt Marvel herself has little to no personality, and you as the viewer struggle to relate to her at all. They also went full re-tard with her superpowers giving her every power under the sun while at the same time giving her no weaknesses or equivalent villian to fight. Therefore, she has no challenges or obstacles to face(other than some sexism). Everything is just “super easy, barely an inconvenience.” It makes for a very boring protagnist. Now the question is how do you put an overpowered character like this into the group Avengers movie w/o making everyone else seem irrelevant? Expand

This movie is a waste of two hours.

Now the negative. They took away any semblance of the character Nick Fury that we know and love. They made him a doe-eyed clueless agent that simply followed Brie Larson's character around for the most part. Brie Larson is, as advertised, an emotionless actress. Captain Marvel never really comes alive. I enjoyed the bad guys more than any of the heroes in this movie. Maybe it's just because I'm a 'White Dude' but I would of happily put money into watching a good Marvel movie more than once if I had been wrong. Expand

The trailers didn't particularly get me that interested for this movie, but riding the Endgame Hype I felt like I needed to see it anyways. Let me say that you can skip this movie, it's not required for Endgame.

Brie Larson had some decent movies in the past so I was hopeful she could pull off this character, but she just didn't feel right for the role. When she was on screen I didn't see "Captain Marvel" I just saw an actor playing the character. Compare this to Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, in their movies you don't see them as Actors playing the characters, you just see the characters because their personality is perfect for it. This is the problem for Brie Larson, she doesn't seem to have a personality in this. Most of what we see if her is either a deadpan expression or a snarky smile which just feels so forced most of the time.

I did like how Nick Fury was portrayed, and him and Carol Danvers do have a few decent moments on screen. Some points felt like it was a Buddy Cop movie, which were some points I personally enjoyed.

Goose the cat had great moments on screen (There's one part which makes the Bruce Banner introduction scene in "Avengers" much funnier), and Mendelson was another casting member I enjoyed seeing on screen.

That was most of the good things I have to say about the movie, now lets get into some of the bad without talking spoilers. CGI was meh, and looked incomplete in a few areas. Carol Danvers is a bit of a Mary Sue, and doesn't really go through much of a character arc. It kinda feels like it's more of a straight line.

There's one action scene that's set to the song of "I'm Just a Girl" which honestly made me cringe a bit. Speaking of action scenes... The camerawork in this movie during action scenes felt so off. If you've seen the movie you probably know what I mean. Especially during the later points, it never seems to focus completely on the action.

This movie has multiple retcons and plotholes which I can't go into detail specifically due to making this a spoiler-free review, but it feels like they're really trying to shoehorn in Captain Marvel at this point. They're trying to forcibly bend the MCU around her character, which I'm worried about if all movies with her are like this one. Her character is constantly said to be the "Most Powerful" in the MCU, which I felt they shouldn't have done. They're trying to force people to care about this character, which I just couldn't do at any point during the movie. Also, there was one scene with Nick Fury which made me absolutely furious. You know which scene I'm talking about if you've seen the movie. It completely makes one of his badass lines in The Winter Soldier into a **** line. That in it's own made me lower the score from what would have been a 5.

The movie wasn't overly-saturated with Feminism like I was expecting due to the marketing, but there definitely were some moments that I said "Yep, that's a feminist point." It wasn't my biggest complaint, but it was enough to make me roll my eyes a few times.

My verdict: 2/5. It had some charm in moments, but fell flat in many moments which killed any enthusiasm I had before. By the time the final act came around, I was honestly just hoping for it to be over. Not a movie that I'd go see again or buy, but it isn't the absolute worst of the MCU. It's a "Meh" movie, and IMO towards the bottom 5 or so. It's not a failure of a movie, but a failure of a Marvel Movie given they have a reputation for high quality these days.

If you haven't seen it yet, wait until it comes to Netflix or Redbox, it isn't worth going into theaters to see.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvels newest insulation to the MCU and leadup to the much-anticipated End Game was a total disappointment in my eyes. POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING! With that being said I'll try not to go too into detail with anything. So for starters, I think Brie Larson is an incredible actress however when it came to Captain Marvel it was a 2/10. I feel that when you get a big role as a superhero that you can't hold back for one second. All I felt from her was that she was just reading lines off a script. And when it came to acting as a superhero that she didn't embrace the role. When you think of a superhero (no matter woman or man) there has to be a level of gusto, which I felt there was an extreme lack of. In the movie no matter how they met her, they seemed to like her off the bat without her acting giving me any inclination that they would, based on her performance. The dialog in the film seemed like it was playing catch up and trying to inform the audience as fast as they could by having the characters constantly asking questions that seemed inorganic in my eyes. Now let's get to the inconsistencies in this movie which there is a bundle to pick from. If you are a fan of the MCU then you know who Nick Fury is. He is the stoic "leader" of the Avengers initiative that basically brings everyone together. Right from the get-go Fury is a likable and almost happy figure in this movie which doesn't match his character that all the other movies have portrayed him as. This is almost as much of a Fury origin as it is Captain Marvel, however, there is no character development for him. Even when he gets scratched in the eye by Goose he is still a happy person who still loves the cat. Maybe there will be more of an origin for him later showing why he trusts no one and blah blah blah, but the inconsistency in his character was offputting. Tying the two together, if Nick Fury wasn't in this movie then I don't see Brie Larson being able to carry the weight on her own film. It's super disappointing because technically this is her 2nd go around as the character because they filmed Infinity War and End Game back to back, then they filmed Captain Marvel. The fight scenes in this movie were completely lackluster. The fight against her old team where No Doubt's "Just A Girl" seemed so bad in my eyes. I don't know if it was because it felt like the mix of the song was in the back/wasn't strong/seemed thin or if it was song choice or if it was the choreography of the fight, but something was off. Plus this is right after she unlocks her powers and you're going to tell me that couldn't just shred thru them. They're saying that she is the strongest character that is going to help in the fight against Thanos but the guy with antigravity gloves puts up a fight? Come on now. Not only that but they send for Ronin and when he comes he sends a couple of missiles down, then captain marvel destroys them and he just goes 'nahh nevermind I'm out'. Where is the climax of the film, because if it was the "Just A Girl" fight then that's just simply disappointing. And don't get me started on the CGI of her falling back to earth, Jesus Christ man. All in all, Samuel L. Jackson was great, the cat was alright and when she got her powers that was cool. Other than that complete and udder disappointment. Captain Marvel was a movie that seemed to play information catch up and focus on making as many jokes as possible rather than drive a plot forward. Would see again to point out everything I hated about it. Looking forward to End Game. Expand

Captain 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.

Brie's acting, while inconsistent in some areas, was great overall. Samuel L Jackson was memorable in his role, and an excellent anchor for the film. The other actors and actresses were generally good. Also, a poignant moment was a great tribute to Stan Lee. Captain Marvel had humor (particularly goose!), a compelling story (although I thought a few aspects of the story did not add up), intrigue. I would recommend seeing it at least once.

Don't listen to the village idiots of the internet, Captain Marvel is a fun addition to the MCU that will surely please both fans of the films and the source material.

I am a huge Marvel fan and a fan of superhero movies. I was surprised when they announced this character as a solo movie as it is and was not a very popular one. There could have been so many female strong characters to choose from such as Black widow, spider-woman, she-hulk scarlet witch etc. Saying that, this is what Marvel choose and what we are “stuck” with. I was bored at times and definitely would not watch it again. Like most fans, I can’t wait for End Game. I just hope that Marvel doesn’t stick with the plan of having CM as the saviour or even having a large role. I would prefer she not even be in it at all. They could learn from this mistake and take this opportunity to bring in another new female hero ( if this is what they want) or just use an existing one and build her character. Disappointed in this movie and in Marvel and hoping like heck that they will make up for it in future movies such as End Game. Thank you. Oh and 1 more thing, please try to stick more closely to source material.. Thanks again. Expand

It's not bad. But not that good either. A passable movie. Larson is not a bad actress, but her character is very badly handled. But she isn't the reason I enjoyed this movie, Ben Mendelsohn and Samuel L. Jackson are. And that's saying something.

The marketing for the film pushed the feminism propaganda so far down my throat that it was hard to enjoy the movie for what it was, or wasn't in this case.

The action set pieces were phenomenal to be fair, but that's to be expected by a AAA studio like Marvel. Plot wise there's some interesting scenes that provide some context for the upcoming endgame, but aside from these two points there's no other redeeming qualities.

If you want to see a strong female lead, do yourself a favour and watch Alita: Battle Angel. At least Alita doesn't deviate too far from it's source material as to alienate it's core demographic, which is something that Brie Larson managed to do prior to the movie even coming out.

This movie is nothing special, it is yet another superhero movie that has the same tired, boring, and awkwardly paced storylines that have plagued most superhero movies in recent memory... and there in lies the problem, there is mass fatigueThis movie is nothing special, it is yet another superhero movie that has the same tired, boring, and awkwardly paced storylines that have plagued most superhero movies in recent memory... and there in lies the problem, there is mass fatigue set in with these MCU/DC movies because they get pumped out every year or so, and while there are great ones mixed in between, the majority of these movies just blend in with one another and Captain Marvel suffers the same fate.

Brie Larson, regardless of her politics, just did not bring anything to the table, I don't know what it is about her because I know she can be an incredible actress, but in this movie, she seems to be so wooden and emotionless that it's hard to tell if she is trying to come across as stoical or this is not a role she was suitable for. I haven't seen her enjoy a role since 21 Jump Street or Room.

The rest of the cast is borderline forgettable, I enjoyed some of the buddy talk between Danvers & Fury, and there were some fun quips between them, but beyond that I struggle to remember parts of the movie I thoroughly enjoyed because I could just see where the plot was going and it wasn't enough to captivate me. I honestly caught that feeling of waiting/hoping for it to end so I could see how this movie will connect to Endgame.

In all honesty, outside of Civil War, Infinity War, Guardians Volume 1 & 2, and Homecoming, I have not enjoyed this 15 year stretch of MCU movies because I feel like there were just too many and that a superhero movie is only gonna go one way. I don't want to delve into a plot analysis because I don't want to ruin any potential spoilers for people who want to see this, but it was a tad too predictable if you consider previous origin story movies.

+ Great visuals
+ Fun moments between some characters
+ I can still appreciate the theme of motivating girls/women to achieve their goals and go beyond their limits

- Brie is not at her best in this role
- Forgettable characters
- Predictable plot
- Awkward pacing
- Predictable character arc for Danvers (no weaknesses)
- Terrible marketing campaign
- Some hamfisted political themes

If this was any other Marvel movie I had the same complaints about, it would be a 4 or 5, but because this movie seriously lacks fun and interesting characters, has the same blueprint as every other superhero film, and decided to politicize its marketing campaign based on personal feelings and ideologies, this a solid 3 for me.

I have no doubts in my mind that this film will do good in the box office, every MCU film does usually, but for the love of entertainment, can we please just leave politics out of movies and their promotions? I think it would be great for younger girls to see this and takeaway the fact that they can pursue their dreams like anyone else, but when the overarching message is that White Males are the problem and we should see them as the bad guys, then this will set a bad example for them in the future.

Also, side note, while Metacritic has not been too terrible with the purging of troll reviews like other sites (something about a tomato) based on user scores, if you're going to delete the reviews that give 0/10 (which I totally agree should be deleted) that are made by trolls to trash the film and its ideologies, then why is it okay for the 10/10 reviews that people leave to "balance them out" remain on here without even seeing the film... There needs to be consistency, not hypocrisy.

They've balanced the character well considering the power involved. She's powerful but still has a human element. Good performance from Brie, Jude & Jackson. Mendelsohn was great. Worth it and looking forward to End Game. Expand

Captain Marvel was good...
When I say good I mean theres a line or a certain standard for what makes a good marvel movie and you know as well as I that Marvel throws movies every year probably i'd say 3 a year maybe more and thats insane so not every one of them meets a standard for some people or fans theres either they will watch this movie again and again or analyze it to death or just watch it once and leave it there. So this movie is in that line of standard ok it is right on that line I don't see it as sub par or bad even terrible its okay its watchable you can enjoy it it will probably feel monotonous but its a hero movie and yes there are different vibes for a herop movie but this is not that movie hell if anything this movie makes its character super broken because she is but against a movie like wonder woman where there is a certain struggle and conflict with characters well... you wont get much form Carol Danvers she is tough man like no joke powers or not a lot of people can get behind that so bad reviews and allegations aside i being comepletely honest it is an all right movie. You'll have laughs, few gasps some long awaited answers and cravings.

The pace was good and the characters were well-developed. I figured lots of comic book fanboys would be out in force hating on this movie because it is not faithful to the source material at all. If you want a movie version of the comic, this isn't it. But as a movie and an extension of the MCU, I really enjoyed it. Some have described Brie Larson as wooden and laconic. Have you met a female fighter pilot? I think she just about nailed it. I saw a lot of people saying there were a bunch of "yay feminism" moments. I disagree. I didn't think there were any "in your face" moments like that at all. It certainly celebrates that the lead character is a woman, but it didn't treat the character differently because of it and didn't demonize men at all. Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe anyone who is an MCU fan would think CM fits into the finely crafted Marvel Universe. A cat monster can touch (internally) the Tesseract? Really?

Where was the Tesseract before Mar Vel had it? How did she (yes, that's right, Mar Vel is now a she too) get it from Howard Stark?

Now, the story...Marvel doesn't have writers on staff that could do any better than this? Come on! Why do all of our favorite Marvel heroes have a hard time to get to hero status, but CM has not one challenge? Not one? Where is her character building? Oh, that's right, she didn't need character for this film. If this had been a stand-alone movie, I would have rated it at maybe a 3, but trying to squeeze this into the MCU, no. No way.

Lazy writing, almost like they had no idea who Nick Fury was. Just make him act like some regular Joe off the street, not the bad ass we fans have come to love.

I am all for powerful women, but the childish attempt to make "man bad - woman good" comparison just turned out LAME (the writers must have forgotten about Wonder Woman and her success). Run Ronin, Run! Give me a break.

So much to say...I will leave it at: If you are a casual movie goer, and have no investment in the MCU, this is a great way to burn a few dollars and hours. If the MCU means anything to you, this will tear apart some core understandings you have had since 2008. Good luck with that.

If Marvel can explain the Infinity Stones in less than 15 minutes of total running time between many movies; this movie just wants to waste your 2 hours with lifeless story. I feel like the story has a lot of unrealized potential. This is a little disappointing, since Marvel has been working on this story for YEARS!

I feel like I should write a little more.

The end credit scenes are worthless. Who would ever see that coming. Thanks for keeping us in the dark on why we should care about the MCU after Avengers Endgame.

Hmmmm... a little more.

See it if you must. Keep your expectations in check. Don't feel like you are missing out if you don't see it before the next Avenger's movie.

The ranting begins here. Pay no attention. You've been warned. Still no giant spoiler type stuff.

There's no hook, no lure, no "did you catch that?" hint of what's to come. If there was, I completely missed it. Don't worry Captain Marvel is on it! Wait, no she isn't... If she wasn't sleep walking for decades, she would have noticed some giant, long lived purple dude wants to gather mighty stones, and eliminate half of the lives in the universe. How come everyone knows about Thanos except Captain Marvel? She even stared down Ronan "the Accuser" who happens to also be chasing down stones. Explain that one Kevin.

Wow, 5000 characters allows me to go on, and on, and on some more.

I want more Goose. Let's start a petition. Let's digitally add Goose to more movies. More Goose! More Goose! More Goose! More Goose! More Goose! More Goose! More Goose!

Seriously, right down the middle on this one. Watchable? Yes! Can you skip it? Yes.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wanted to love this movie but was disappointed. The story was weak and the direction was horrible. It would have been better without the random memory puzzle to show the backstory. I would have preferred they start with her origin and work chronologically but we get a poorly edited mess showing her memories from Earth. These memories are a simply a vessel to clumsily make her seem a victim but none of that is relevant to the story. By the time they get around to telling the real story, you don't even care about her. I never left during the whole movie yet constantly felt like I missed some major pieces of information to explain what was happening. Either they edited out important scenes to make room for boring coffee break chats or they chose a poor writer and director. Larson acted with the range of a brick. Not once in the entire movie do you feel she is in jeopardy. Apparently she never had a family and only one dull pilot friend that somehow gets screen time but serves no purpose in the story. The actor playing the main skrull is the best part of the movie. SMJ is okay but he doesn't seem at all like the Fury character in any other MCU movies. It's like the writer had never seen any other MCU movies. He was good but his personality was inexplicable. I pray they don't make CM the main character in Endgame. With the way they powered her it would be a 10 minute movie ending in a 3 second battle. Expand

Disclaimer: I'm not putting a spoiler tag because I don't give out story points but I do mention moments, tones, acting and reactions so please thread lightly if you want to go with a clean slate wich I recommend.

So just came out of the movie (it came out the sixth here) and I can say this is not a female agenda movie! I'm a male and I loved every bit of it. There's a couple of scenes that reminds us this is a girl granted but these are very subtle or used for somewhat comedic effects, but for the most part male/female is interchangable. She could be a man and the story would be basically the same, so it's a non issue. ( I make this point because of all the controversy, but rest assured it's all bull)

This is a troubled hero trying to find what it all means and Brie Larson plays it very well with subtle tones, a crescendo of roguish attitudes and humor that reflect her inner turmoil. The trailers don't make it justice at all. Samuel l. Jackson is at its best minus the profanity and the deaging thing is mind blowing to say the least. The banter between them flows so well. The supporting cast are scene stealers all of them. Maria, Monica, Talos, Coulson, Jude law, Annette and the freaking cat. The action scenes are riveting, well put together and the finale! In the words of doctor Bruce banner, you guys are so screwed now! The beginning gave me a heartache (you'll see) and the first endcredit scene got cheers from the public. The story is one of the best in any shm, I was glued to the seat for 2 hours and change but it flew by. And it's funny, more than I expected, with that MCU signature humor. Again the trailers don't make it justice.

Now, I gave this an 8/8.5 ( have to watch it again if I'm keeping the 9 or downgrade it to an 8) rounded to 9, but it's a 8.5 because it tries a little too hard to include scenes tying to the larger MCU where it didn't need them. The movie stands on it's own merits and it would be slightly better without the "see what we did here wink wink" moments.

Overall it goes to my top ten easily and one of the best most unique origin stories in the mcu. Highly recommend to see it. I plan to see it at least one more time as I mentioned.
