Realizing the writer's hands were tied having to tell an interesting origin story and weave this into the large Marvel through-line, I enjoyed this movie a lot, good action, lot so humor. Brie is great.

This movie is by no means perfect, but it’s entertaining. I had my let down with this movie, but it wasn’t due to acting, just story points. I thought Brie Larson performance as Captain Marvel was pretty good. Her and Samuel L Jackson play well off each other. This in my opinion was a solid enough origin story for Captain Marvel can't wait for her to throw down with the other Avengers.… Expand

Overall, a bland film with only a little CGI to light up an otherwise very bland colour pallette, and very light on characterisation.
Larson's political statements, socially political that is, don't lend well to her making her likable in the first instance, but that aside I think she's highly overrated and not a good fit for the MCU franchise.… Expand

This film reminded me a lot of "Alita: Battle Angel"; so much potential to be amazing, yet ultimately falls flat on its face due to a horrible script and a bland Mary Sue protagonist. From a non-political standpoint, the film fails completelyThis film reminded me a lot of "Alita: Battle Angel"; so much potential to be amazing, yet ultimately falls flat on its face due to a horrible script and a bland Mary Sue protagonist. From a non-political standpoint, the film fails completely to create a world worth emotionally investing in. The lead actress has already been proven to have amazing talent as seen in "Room", yet in this movie she has the acting abilities of Kristen Stewart from "Twilight" and Milla Jovovich from the early "Resident Evil" movies.

Rather than this, the protagonist has virtually no flaws and is deemed a literal "god" by everyone for being perfect and all-powerful in every way imaginable. There is no struggle or conflict in this movie; just a poorly edited montage of explosions and deaths until the predicted end goal is achieved by the protagonist.

But the main crime of this movie is it's absolute failure to push it's third-wave feminist agenda.

It is clear that the focus on this movie was to push the third-wave feminist agenda to the extremes; that women all have the potential to be just as good, or even better, than men. However, to try and prove that point in a fictional movie only backfires on itself. That's because there's plenty of real-life examples of amazing woman that such supporters of this movement can be praised for, and because the film reasserts that the accomplishments of men are the golden standard that everyone else, including women, needs to try desperately to live up to or succeed.

Why do we have to have such messages forced and pushed in fictional worlds in order to be recognized or deemed "true"? Why can't women be amazing for doing their own things or for being themselves instead of only recognizing women that meet or succeed the benchmarks left by men? We each have our own strengths and weaknesses that compliment one another when we work together. Women and men are not inherently equal in virtue, but they are in value and for the things they are able to accomplish on their own that men will never be able to do. In conclusion, this film isn't even worth waiting until it's on Netflix to watch. There's nothing of entertainment or moral value in this movie that makes it truly worth remembering or recognizing.… Expand

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

Is there a lot of politics in the movie? No, absolutely not. So those claiming there is, are wrong. This movie is repetitive, boring and bland. The recon to the MCU is insulting, and wait until you find out what happened with Nick Fury's eye.. it's absolutely insulting. This is why I don't want to watch movies with sjw nonsense surrounding it. The script they gave her was bad, her acting was mediocre, but I can't blame her, they didn't give her a lot to work with, she did her best with what she could. This movie is by no means a 1 or a 5. At Max it Should be a 2.5. WW was great, Alita was great, and so many other female lead movies are great, but those who push an agenda, apparently can't write a half decent script.

By far the worst MCU movie, once she has her powers there is no excitement to be had. She is basically Superman, and what made Superman interesting is the fact he fought against people who are equal to his strength. This movie should not have been made, the fans wanted a black widow movie so badly, and it would've been better if we had one. Don't trust the professional reviewers as they have come forward that they do "access journalism", which means that if they leave a bad review, they won't be invited anymore. I'd suggest waiting for DVD.… Expand

Short Summary NO SPOILER

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not really sure how people have managed to like it so much, being a die-hard fan, I felt that this was probably the worst Marvel film that I have ever seen. Spoiler Alert.

- The storyline is a bit too predictable, like a Hindi movie. - Captain Marvel just happens to crash on Earth, despite being Eons away.
- Nick Fury trying to act cute and unnaturally sweet to a cat is almost revolting to watch.
- No background on the supreme intelligence.. or the Pegasus project
- At one point, captain marvel decides to change her uniform colour and offers the opportunity to a kid. The kid somehow knows how to operate this tech. The colour that she chooses doesn't seem much like what the girl is wearing at all.
- How did a Kree scientist get her hands on the Tess in the first place?
-And when she did, her motive was to make a light-speed achieving ship for the Skrull? No better ideas? Really?
- Maria's daughter's reaction on seeing Vers is incredibly stupid and mellow.
-A majority of her dialogues and actions are irrelevant.
- An alien cat just happens to be around when all hell is breaking loose at a covert aircraft base.
- Just spits out the Tess in the end credit scene on Fury's desk, wow, what an original storyline.
- Nick Fury looses an eye while trying to pet a cat.. utter crap..
- Ver's friend Maria can (after a bit of tweaking) fly into the space, avoid advanced fighters and survive.
- The mighty Ronan throws a few missiles at the planet but Captain Marvel flips one of them and blows everything (I guess he didn't need the Tess so badly after all).
- Ronan decides to F-off pretty fast
- Jude Law is sent back to his planet so that they can keep hunting the Skrulls (easier way would have been to destroy Kree, but no, how will they make more movies out of it?)
- Captain Marvel got her powers from an engine core blast and the Kree kept her alive to find the core? :O

This movie felt like a by-product and a money spinner than an actual story-line based movie. All in all, it was a Marvel-ous let down… Expand

Probably the worst Marvel move I have seen and the least interesting hero on the Marvel team. It's not the worst movie ever but a movie ticket seems like a high price to see it.

She seemed too soft and not to mention her lack of emotion in the film. It was tough to be engaged with CM because she lacked any growth in the film. Most of the CGI was whatever to me, nothing to write home about. I did not like how Fury actually loses his eye, it tarnishes his character and was a slap in the face. If you recall in Winter Solider, he said the last time he trusted someone, he lost an eye. Maybe it was the trust in whoever made this sad excuse of a film. Marvel made a poor choice in deciding to shoehorning a "hero" into finishing the fight against thanos. That itself is another slap in the face to fans. A finale involving the original avengers would have been poetic, hopefully it doesn't come to that.… Expand

For a Marvel film it's very much middle of the road and simply isn't up to the high level of quality the studio has set. It's not a bad movie per se, but it could have been much better.

Pros: Goose the cat steals every scene he's in. And BenFor a Marvel film it's very much middle of the road and simply isn't up to the high level of quality the studio has set. It's not a bad movie per se, but it could have been much better.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The positive: Some comedy moments, Goose, Fury, Jude Law, and the fight scenes.

The Negative:

Plot holes in continuity, Soundtrack selection on the end fight scene, the soundtrack selection in the end scene having come out 3 years after her abduction by the Kree (she was not on earth for 6 years) Flashback scenes showing bad memories being shoe-horned in as a slightly overt feminist messaging that the patriarchy is suppressing women.

The motorcyclist saying "you should smile more" "freak" is shown as the "men are pigs" trope of victimhood feminism. Sure there are bad people in the world, but come on. The scenes were jumpy and confusing, bordering on motion-sickness inducing

Brie Larson did have some good emotional expression, but it came as a point of defiance, and a cost of character relatability, further pushing the dehumanizing aspect of modern feminism. The "you're not good enough" lines by all the men in her life come off as another dose of the victimhood identitarianism that modern feminism is trying to push. Women nowadays have More opportunities than men, contrary to this position. A recent Google audit of average wages actually shows a small gap in women's favor.

This whole movie was shoehorned into the MCU, and if they continue this trope, Phase 4 will go down in flames.

The explanation that Fury's eye damage was caused by a Flurkin scratch felt like it cheapened Fury's reason for an eye patch.

The worst part about this movie is that Captain Marvel was an unpopular comic when it came out, and was Ret-Con Mary-Sued into existence. The Kree/Scrull flip was even contrary to the narrative in the actual comic. The Kree have ALWAYS been the enemy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am not a bot. I am white female in her 40’s.
I have watched MCU from the beginning and have loved the journey. At the end of the movies, I have felt that I watched something that has left me feeling, excited.
Well, that did not happen today when I saw Captain Marvel. I felt flat and indifferent. Carol Danvers was the same at end and she was in the beginning. Carol did not inspire me at all. Carol was boring. I was never invested in carol Danvers at all. Sure some parts were ok. Nick Fury, Phil Coulson, Maria Rambeau, Monica Rambeau were great characters. Yon-Rogg or as I will call him Yawn-Rogg.
If fact pretty much the whole movie is a yawn.
The fight scene with No Doubt’s I’m just a Girl music choice is sad. They could have gone with Pat Benatar’s Hit me with your best shot. After watching YouTube (yes I know) I discovered that one of the first Captain Marvel was a woman of colour. Why, did they not cast a women of colour. Black Panther showed the way to inspire people, me included. But, no they missed a huge opportunity and went with a safe bet on a white woman.
If you want to see the mid credit scene, don’t waste your time. Watch the mid credit scene on YouTube. I am hoping the rumours are true and Marvel has a alternative version where Captain Marvel has a minor part in Avengers Endgame. I am nervous about Avengers Endgame that the powers that be have destroyed a decade of Marvel movies to satisfy a minority. How about create a great character that happens to be a women.… Expand

I wasn't thrilled by the press in the run up to release. I'm sure there are loads of actors I don't align with, but we all have our own politics. If you want my money, however, it's probably best if you don't go out of your way to insult me.

But it's Marvel, right? It'll be okay? In a word, no.

I didn't enjoy Brie's performance at all: bland and charmless. The humour was off (not entirely sure that's her fault and not the director/scriptwriters). Mind you, even a more personable actor mightn't have saved the day, as Marvel have decided to import the biggest headache of the DC universe, namely that the lead character is invincible. Sure, Superman can be taken down with Kyptonite, but failing that it's all pre-ordained. Well, of course, we usually know who's going to survive any film, but *in theory* they could die, and they all have faults that make them endearing or relatable. Not so with Carol Danvers. I'm genuinely worried for Endgame now (Thanos? No problem, let's call Captain Marvel), and really concerned about the MCU after than if Captain Marvel is going to be the anchor. Still, we've had a good run, I suppose.

Story-wise, I didn't rate it. The script has too many holes for me. That's not necessarily a deal-breaker; I felt Alita & Wonder Woman had a bunch of holes, but I was so into the characters that I was barely aware of them. With Captain Marvel though I wasn't bought in, so the poor script writing was more apparent. There are also plenty of unnecessary continuity errors between this script and the previous (later timeline) MCU films - were these guys even paying attention?

And the fracking eye backstory. Come on guys, Must Try Harder!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Other than the special-effects and costumes, this movie was terrible. The only good actor in the movie was Jude Law. Brie Larson is terrible as Captain Marvel. Her acting is horrible and she has no charisma. She came off like an irritated feminist the entire time. They were so many “men are dumb” jokes in the movie that it became annoying. The only reason Samuel L. Jackson was in the film was to be the comic relief. The way he loses his eye is stupid as well. It’s sad that the nobody-of-a-character is pegged to be the most powerful superhero in the Marvel universe and we will undoubtably be seeing more of her in the future. Phase 3 of Marvel’s movie franchise looks like it’s going to be a real dud. First Lucasfilm allowed Disney to ruin The Last Jedi with its social justice warrior politics.

It wasn't a complete bore, though some parts of the pacing made me want to look at my watch, and in fact, I did look at my phone once, to check what time it was, since the dialogue and story was just dragging on at a couple of points in the movie. Casual movie-goers, and general audience will find something to look at and enjoy for the moment. MCU fans, comic book readers and folks who look at movies with a more critical eye will find PLENTY of issues with it. From the acting, dialogue, plot holes and established lore, it had a lot going on that just didn't mix well. I expected more from Brie, an oscar winner and whatnot, but this was just sub-par. Jude Law, Samuel Jackson and others outshined her, and her character did not feel central to the movie, at least for me. Overall, it's a fun but shallow movie. There's not much to bite into and plenty of flaws (too many considering this is a big budget Marvel film) that avid fans and honest critics will obviously take issue with. To put it simply, it has the salsa, but none of the meat. It's a 5/10 for me.… Expand

Disney has trouble on their hands if this is the path they are taking the MCU down because they will lose most of their fan base in the process.

Carol is not my favorite hero, but I've bought some comic runs and tend to like her. Then I heard the final casting choice. "Wth are you thinking, Marvel?" was my reaction. "Could they not put a wig on a wooden board, cuz thats the amount of talent she's got." And now the movie arrives, she's made some, ahem, unfortunate comments, but I still go to see it. I don't want to say it's a disaster, because it's not the worst MCU movie, but it's definitely not the best and anyone who says so is lying for some weird reason of their own. Brie gives a flat performance, because that's what she does. She's emotionless and dull. On the other hand, the script is a wandering mess that doesn't know what it wants to be or where it wants to go. Toss in some horrible missteps that are the opposite of source material. Mar-vell is not a woman and has never been. To randomly make him a female background character is a total travesty and a slap in the face of long time fans. Finally, we have great performances by Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg, Jude Law and the woman who played Monica Rambeau. But the movie has no clear villain. I expected Secret Invasion, but got some weird... I don't know what I got, but it wasn't good. Not a Marvel movie I will own or watch repeatedly and I've worn out several of them. (I've bought Captain America, Thor and Avengers all several times because I've watched them enough to wear out a disc) I might watch this one from time to time on a streaming channel (Disney +??) but honestly, bad writing aside, brie Larson was horribly miscast and marvel should have known better.

Couldn’t wait to get in here and have your collective voices known. I was with you on The Last Jedi, and agree it totally ruins Star Wars. That’s where our similarities end. To watch the “fandom” backlash against this movie and this actress begin months before it was even released because Larson didn’t fit your mold of what a female lead heroine should act and look like was very eye opening for me. “The Fandom”, as you like to be called... you are what they thought you were. Don’t sit here recite action movies where you enjoyed the female lead to prove your point. Wonder Woman? Ellen Ripley? Sarah Connor? Alita? Here is food for thought: in the Captain Marvel trailers, if Larson was in the super sexy Ms Marvel outfit kicking ass instead of the butchy captain marvel suit, I bet most of you wouldn’t have much to say. A little t&a makes the blues go away. If they would have stuffed Gal Gadot into a cover-all suit the entire film, you guys would have lost your collective sh*t. Look, it’s ok to not like an actress. It’s ok not to like a character. It’s okay to not like what an actress says or that she doesn’t smile enough. But you have to ask yourself, are any of these things worthy of the level of effort and collective hatred it has taken by the “fandom” to let the world know it didn’t like this non-smiling bit*h and her lame character. Seriously. Why?? Oh I know, you are trying to save Marvel from Disney and not make Marvel SJW.

Well guess what? The movie is good. The actress is good. The story is good. It’s absolutley NOT SJW, no more so than the original Star Wars a New Hope where the princess mocked her male saviors for the entire second act.

I’m not saying you have to like the movie. If you didn’t that’s fine. But at least give the movie an honest score. Giving out 1’s and 2’s just to have your voice heard and claim some type of moral victory. You know, as a group, the “fandom” could use their collective voice for truly noble protests and invoke change. Instead we have a collective group of fans, predominantly male, who have nothing better to do with their time but complain for months adnaseum about a frickin actress not being smiley enough in a trailer for a character they apparent hate anyways. Oh, BTW, you and Brie Larson have the same enemies. You know, the middle aged, male, white critics that shredded Alita? Yeah, the very same ones! The irony is amazing.

At the moment I’m posting this review, Captain Marvel is sitting at $153 million domestic and $455 million globally for opening weekend. So go on, keep posting 1’s and 2’s while you know each and every one of you paid to see the movie this weekend, and despite being prepared to hate it, you actually found it was pretty good. Shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone. Just be a loyal sheep to the “fandom” and post a score of 2 on metacritic. I liked the movie a lot. I love the Marvel cosmic universe and this movie captures it beautifully. To see “Vers” overcome her captors and become a true omega level hero was pretty epic. Cmon guys, you have to at least admit that. This movie did not “derail” the Marvel machine as the “fandom” had predicted. Its not the overtly feminist, man shaming film you predicted either. It’s just another Marvel origin story brought to film, with just enough girl power stuff in it to make it right. Can’t wait for Endgame now. And in the future how The X-men are introduced to the Avengers. Exciting times to be a comics fan that grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, getting to see these characters brought to life.… Expand

Speaking of character development, there is none for any of the players in this movie we literally are not invested in any of them and for me the one person who stood out and made the movie for me was who I would consider one of the "main" characters in the film was Coulson...that says something when the rest are just there with little to no standouts in performances.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Easily the worst MCU movie I have seen to date. The plot was weak and full of holes, the humour felt forced and immature, the CGI was good but for 2 instances, the music was inserted in strange places and the editing was choppy. Larson's acting, in particular, was unconvincing and fake - there was far too much smirking and posturing, and far too little acting. In many instances it felt like I was watching her doing a skit of Captain Marvel on SNL rather than playing a lead role in a multi-million dollar movie. Her entire motivation for fighting also appears to centre around herself - unlike literally all the other Avengers who fight for something bigger than them (protecting their loved ones, freedom, justice, responsibility etc, which is the essence of a hero).

There were plot holes aplenty. She stated that Skrulls can't do photon blasts, so she would know it's a unique power. So then, if she was the only individual able to shoot photon blasts in ALL of Hala/Kree galaxy (indeed, the ONLY ONE we saw who had special powers), why didn't she even question that once? Then she crash-landed on earth, as an alien soldier, and started smirking at the first alien law enforcement officer she saw? Without questioning why this alien was the same biological type as her? And didn't she JUST join the Kree army? Why, then, is she part of a group of "Noble Hero Warriors"? What, if anything, makes her noble or heroic? And why did Nick Fury divulge all that information to an alien soldier at the drop of a dime? He's not exactly so stupid or 'new' to make such an obvious mistake - he's a full bird colonel with years of experience as a spy, so he'd know it wasn't like Vers would know if the information was true or not. And didn't Vers already say Skrulls can assimilate RECENT information? So why all that history into his career? If this was just the writers' attempt to tell us more about Nick Fury, it was lazy as hell.

I also took issue with changing the Skrulls into refugees when the story for a planet-wide shape-shifting invasion held so much more potential for writing and fight scenes. I thought, with brief delight, that it'd be like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, but nope, it was nowhere close to that.

And there was no "big baddie" - in the "climactic" third act, Ronan shot missiles, which were destroyed in seconds, then sent some fighter ships, which were destroyed in a minute or so, and then he fled. Yon-rogg (armed with a pistol and shield and NO SUPERPOWERS) was taken out with one photon blast after a ridiculous monologue. And not to mention the fact that Vers gets her power from a light-speed engine powered by the Tesseract, which means she should be no more powerful than Scarlet Witch, who is given her powers by the Mind Stone, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

All in all, the movie just felt flat and ultimately, forgettable. I really hope she won't play a significant part in Endgame - just looking at the end credits and seeing the MCU stalwarts' gravitas contrasted with her mediocre, half-mocking performance had me desperately hoping the MCU wouldn't mutilate their final act with this travesty.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Was not planning to watch this movie due to the controversy but as a Marvel fan I had to give it a watch. The movie has great special effects and fight scenes but the actual movie is boring. I was dosing off through the midway point. I remember falling asleep during Boogeyman(2005) and The Trolls movie with my kids (luckily the movie theater sold beer and no I was not intoxicated) I thought Black Panther was just average but it was way more watchable than this. My 7 year old was excited to see this movie and she also lost interest.
Guess they wanted to up Wonder Woman, another crappy movie by making Captain Marvel the most powerful woman alive. They should have went with a male version. Brie tried too hard and failed. She now believes she is the most powerful woman in Hollywood today. I've seen her in Kong and 21 Jump Street and the also sucked. The WTF part of this movie was Fury losing his eye to a freaking cat. This movie was Garbage and no offense to the band Garbage. The highlights of the movie were the songs from Garbage and Nirvana. Until Endgame then, but I expect Brie to stick her face in there as well.… Expand

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

P.S.: if you know about comics you will not like the twist but I review the movie, not the comics.… Expand

From start to finish there are gaping holes, inconsistencies with existing MCU canon and an overall lack of anything exciting. The final nail for me, personally, was the garbage way you got rid of Fury's eye.

TL;DR: To call Brie Larson's performance wooden would be an insult to things made of wood. Brie has all the charisma of hot roadkill on a desert highway. She's the most badly miscast character since John Wayne played a kinda-squinty GenghisTL;DR: To call Brie Larson's performance wooden would be an insult to things made of wood. Brie has all the charisma of hot roadkill on a desert highway. She's the most badly miscast character since John Wayne played a kinda-squinty Genghis Khan in The Conqueror from 1956. Captain Marvel is aggressively-dull, pretentious, & crammed with persecution-complex/female-empowerment propaganda. Thematically the film is utterly-generic. The story is a pointless mess. Search for the post-credit scenes on Twitter, & you'll miss NOTHING for Endgame by skipping it. & you won't have wasted 2 & 1/2 hours of valuable air-sucking you'll never get back.

True comicbook fans can find 100 ways in which they disrespect the universe, but I'll critique the film as a Normy.

CM tries for the Marvel formula of irreverent banter, & mostly misses. The dialogue is meant to be witty, especially between the 2 Air Force feminists, but it drips with the kind of self-satisfied snark you see everywhere on Twitter. Both actresses try hard to seem like they're not trying very hard.

Several lines are absolute cringe. From a feminist caricature of a 'toxic male' pilot: “You DO know why it's called the COCK-pit, right?” Uuugghhh.

& from Brie Of The Lifeless Eyes herself: "I'm not gonna fight your war, I'm gonna END it." Delivered in her inflectionless, talentless monotone. Girlpower PUKE!

Then there's the Amnesia Trope. Writing your character with complete memory-loss should get you summarily sh*t-canned.

As for the "Protagonist": If you thought Rey from Star Wars was an insufferable Mary Sue, Brie Larson's Carol Danvers brings even LESS charm to the party.

They tried to write her as perfect, but what she is is perfectly-joyless. Brie thinks she's too much of a star to put in effort for the cameras.

Question for the directors: Why are Captain Marvel's "toxic male" co-stars always telling her she can't do stuff, & trying to hold her back? & what's happening behind her vacant, thousand-yard stare?

Brie delivers her lines like she's phoning them in from China, & her expressions were added in after by CGI artists in Dubai who are bored with their jobs.

As for the Special Effects, they ranged from spooky-good (the de-aging of Samuel L Jackson; never noticed it beyond the first few frames) to low-budget video-game-bad (an obviously-fake Brie Larson shooting obviously-fake proton-bolts from her fists in space, which don't even align with where she's 'punching.') When she FINALLY goes “full-superhero block-of-wood,” the scene is confused & phony AF!

She's not a believable combatant; not in hand-to-hand, not in a fighter jet, not in her computer-generated super-suit.

An important point; if you're not invested in the story, the over-the-top action gets tiresome quick. Who cares how 'splody the world gets when Optimus Prime defeats Megatron for the fifth time? Just get ON with it.

Admittedly Captain Marvel isn't as bad as the Transformers sequels, but it's by far the worst movie in the MCU. Made worse by Marvel shoving this horrible Mary Sue into a final showdown she's earned no role in. Captain Marvel earns nothing she's given, NOTHING, & that's how feminists want it. Disney's making her PIVOTAL to defeating Thanos.

That's pure, presumptuous pandering. & Brie thinks MEN have massive privilege.

The Bright Spots: Ben Mendelson as Talos, & a genuinely touching pre-scene tribute to Stan Lee. These, & some 90's nostalgia for the soundtrack, are all that's memorable in this otherwise belligerently-subpar cluster-F. Mendelson is so fantastic I was hoping the writers might've had a stroke & let him accidentally kill our bored-looking “savior.”

But no, Mary Sues aren't actual characters, who can be killed or defeated. They're avatars for the entire female gender - & to give the embodiment of All-Women-Everywhere any humanizing flaws would be to imply that women aren't perfect - so the writers were too terrified to let you think their Mary Sue might lose for even a second. Just ponderously-bad writing.

They should've given Goose the cat his own movie. The tale of Goose and Fury! THAT could've been fun, instead of gag-inducing. Oh, & the way Nick Fury looses his eye is so pathetic it's hard to believe it made it past all the levels of gatekeepers & into the movie itself. Good god, the creative talent of Stan Lee is SORELY missed.

To clarify, I paid the ticket price to see How To Drain Your Dragon 2, also in 3D, because I refuse to fund feminist cancer. Which Captain Marvel IS. I had a few triumphant heartbeats when Brie began 'kicking-ass' to No Doubt's “I'm Just A Girl,” but it was so forced & pretentious it felt like the cheap propaganda it was.

RottenTomatoes is brazenly shilling for Disney & Social Justice, & is refusing to post critical reviews that give movie-goers the level-headed truth.

Tempting as it is, this can't be held against CM, & if Transformers 5 gets a 1 out of 10, she deserves at least a 2.… Expand

Captain Marvel is basically the MCU equivalent of Green Lantern, neither Director nor all the Writer ever understood how to make an MCU Movie, they never understood how the russo Brothers could archive so much praise from Fans and regular movie watchers alike, they didn't understand the late Stan Lee either, how he envisioned Super Heroes, how he portrayed them. Captain Marvel is constantly portrayed as the Strong independent Female that was always looked down to by White Males, how she can easily overcome anything in her way, she is portrayed as invincible, all mighty, sadly they forgot to include emotions in the movie because it lacks effort and emotion. The Actual acting is Provided by Samual L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn and Lashana Lynch, occasional Laughs are also provided by everyone but Brie Larson, I mean, just look at Goose, Goose has more character then Captain Marvel and Goose is only on screen for a total of like 10 minutes in the 2 hour Boredom ride through hell.

This is a Movie many might and will enjoy, but critical it is a Failure full of Political agendas, Feminism and dares I say Racism and sexism towards White Male. The movie script should have never been Greenlit and was destined to be a Failure of some sort, if you insult and alienate your core audience then at least make sure the movie is actually good now you have Angry fans presented with a bad uninspired Political Circle Jerk.

If you are a Fan of the MCU, go for it, if you have any doubts of going beforehand, don't, just sit this out and wait for it to reach Amazon Prime or other services.… Expand

During the firstMy first issue is I don't think that they cast the right person for Captain Marvel. I'm not going to say she was a bad actor because I've seen her play other roles better, I just don't think this is the right role for her. During the first portions of the movie, I was actually entertained and then throughout the rest of the movie, it's like she did not understand her character or who she was supposed to be playing. The music was very good I loved it. Of course Marvel soundtracks never get old but I don't agree with some of the songs they chose. I love Gwen Stefani but I would have totally chosen ‘hollaback girl’ as opposed to ‘I'm just a girl’. With the exception of the very beginning of the movie and the very end, I was very bored. The pacing seemed off. There was a lot of dead space in-between people talking and the chemistry between some of the characters was just off. Some of the writing just made no sense and I think that this movie could have done better with a different writer and director.

The driving force behind why Captain Marvel is the way she is seems very shallow. The whole narrative is that boys were mean to her and that was it. There was really nothing else that she had to overcome like other superheroes who had their families killed, or who had something traumatic happened to them. There was really no depth to her character and that was disappointing.
It almost seems like one big commercial for female empowerment/oppression, and even as a female, I don't really appreciate that in a movie. Captain Marvel deserved to have more depth to her character than just a girl who was a victim. That's not cool For as much as they were hyping up this movie and marketing it to be something amazing, it fell below short.… Expand

Putting aside all public relations disasters and the actresses clear hate towards the opposite sex, being the opposite sex I went in without this in mind. It was hard to watch a character develop into such a one dimensional super hero with such great powers and no real weaknesses that you just can't seem to like as an individual. Marvel in the past has made attempts at least to get you as an audience member to feel for the character, the heroes and the villains. But I just felt awful thinking throughout the movie, "I really hope the bad guys win." especially since this is a lead up film that ties in towards Avengers: Endgame.

The story was an absolute bore, it actually reminded me of a certain green glowing super hero with a ring who I really wanted to like but just gave up on in the end. I actually ended up seeing it twice because I didn't even care to losing out on a few minutes of the middle of the film the first time seeing it due to running out of my beverage and needing to use the facilities. And oh boy, did I take my sweet time getting back. So of course being a completionist of all things heroes and film, I went back the next day and sat through the boring film again to see what I missed. Not much. Action sequences that seemed rushed and not coordinated correctly. Especially the science and physics behind it all seemed poorly researched. It was like they said "This can't really happen, but let's do it anyways." I enjoy flash backs but my goodness was it slow and really hard to want to follow it, twice. Seeing as how this is a story to explain how Nick Fury met Captain Marvel, and how he has both eyes in the film and why he has only one in later Marvel films....it wasn't well documented on screen. It was as jumbled of a mess as is my writing.

Overall it had a boring lackluster story which makes you care even less for the protagonist and supporting characters. As well as poorly put together action sequences that seemed to come out of an extremely low budget film. And in the end they were completely forgettable, only good thing that came from this film is the fact it wasn't longer.

Sorry Marvel comics and cinematic universe fans and newcomers alike. Thanos should have went back in time and snapped his fingers to prevent this tragedy of a super hero film.

Wow. What an amazingly bland movie.

Coming into this film with the notion that it's being heavily boycotted really made me more interested in seeing it. I understand that there are a lot of people complaining about the main actress - mostly because of her "man-hating" remarks. However, if someone dislikes a movie so much purely because the actress couldn't help herself but to say stupid sh*t, why even see it in the first place? This movie is getting so many underwhelming reviews from the audience that it just screams desperate to me. That being said, it's not big of a deal, because if this were a better movie, the boycott would seem seriously unnecessary. As a matter of fact, "Captain Marvel" is kind of bad. "Captain Marvel" suffers the most when it's trying to present a strong female super-hero. She starts the movie with no memory of her past and is through a serious of cheesy flashes that she becomes determined to discover her roots. But throughout the movie, it's so difficult to be invested in her character because she possesses absolutely no personality, no charm and no development. She is less of a character and more of a prop for the next MCU movie that's coming out.

What can you learn about Captain Marvel so you can prepare yourself for "Avengers: Endgame"? She blasts people with her fists and she occasionally smirks? Yep, that's it. It's impossible to find her compelling when she's essentially a Mary Sue. And that brings me to my next point.

The action. I really don't think the action sequences are bad. They are shot and edited just solidly. Nothing special. However, the stakes are non-existent. I think what stands out in an action movie is that you can feel the suspense and the unpredictability of the situation. If you remove that and add a bunch of alien bad guys who clearly look like they are wearing masks, you'll get "Captain Marvel" in terms of action.

The comedy is another aspect of this picture that completely fails. I've put up with a lot of these blockbuster movies everytime they force in some "humorous" scene and I say "put up" because I can't stand them. They are uncreative and painfully unfunny. "Captain Marvel" isn't the worst in that department, but it's close.

Now, although I have issues with the film, it isn't a total misstep. I really enjoyed the production design and the special effects, to a certain degree. The movie succeeds in taking us to a place that truly feels like the 90's. The atmosphere is pleasant and I appreciate the inclusion of certain characters. Nick Fury, for instance. The de-aging technology really worked on him. The CGI in the movie is good, except for the cat, which sometimes looked computer-animated. It took me out of the movie, actually.

Talking about everything else feels pointless, as this film just seems super generic and cookie-cutter. The characters are badly written. The acting is quite awful from certain actors. So is the dialogue. Brie Larson didn't do a terrible job, but she didn't bring anything new to the table either. In short, I'm not particularly excited for her involvement in "Endgame".

The movie lacks style and substance. It's tonally off and it doesn't boast any sort of emotion. "Captain Marvel"'s hate from the audience may not be completely justified, but they are not wrong when they say this movie is very "meh".

This is not worth the money and experience, but if you like the character, then more power to you. I seriously hope this is the last bland Marvel movie we get. Wishful thinking, I know.

4/10.… Expand
