If not for its connection with endgame would say the truth about this movie, it is predictable, with a very weak villain and a boring script, the null charisma of Brie does not help at all, the best the cat

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Avengers were named after Carol Danvers? Are you being for real? And Nick Fury lost his eye to a cat? Seriously? It wasn’t even that funny if that’s what they were trying to be at the cost of damaging a character’s backstory. Also should have featured way more of Phil Coulson. Moreover, there was terrible music and scenes which were as I’ve already mentioned just outright not funny , such as Carol accidentally blasting a cardboard cutout of Arnold Schwarzenegger from True Lies. Additionally , many of the fight scenes had a very low standard of camerawork and choreography making it hard to follow what was actually going on. It appeared as if they were trying to hide weak choreography and stunt men as well as CG fight scenes through the use of shaky cameras and very frequent cuts.… Expand

Boooring. The lead actor, Brie Larson is a terrible, uncharismatic super-hero. This is actually the first female superhero, from Marvel that I would prefer to never see again.

First, there's Brie Larson, who is simply not right for this role. She's bland, dull-looking and dull acting. Maybe she has potential, but the script doesn't allow her to realize it. Look up "Mary Sue" and you'll know why she has no compelling character development. The biggest problem, however, is that Brie Larson/Captain Marvel is being set up to infect the Avengers Endgame. This movie sucked out all the excitement I had for Endgame. Like this disappointment of a movie, I'll still go see Endgame, but my expectations are now set way lower. Bottom line is that I'd recommend you wait for Captain Marvel to come to the streaming service of your choice.… Expand

Also didnt care for the acting of the lead - seemed wooden and unemotional (which is funny because everyone kept telling her not to be so emotional?). I liked most of the songs featured but they seemed very forced in certain scenes and it was a bit jarring. CGI was fairly poor also. Story was very haphazard and convienent to move the film on when required. A load of plot holes that I dont have time to get into here. Was hoping for another butt kicking heroine like Wonder Woman but this left a lot to be desired. Finally, though I would consider myself a feminist I dont understand why they had to tear down men to build women up? That just seems to defeat the whole "equality" thing imho...… 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

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After seeing all the controversy and all the politics for the last few months, I tried to see this movie with an open mind. I walked in to watch a Marvel movie and walked out with a "Meh" on my mind. For an origin movie, it was not bad. It was not good, but not bad. The liberties taken with the source material is usual in the case of the MCU, but the changes that were made stuck with an agenda I was uncomfortable experiencing as it was nagging in my mind. It was a similar feeling when I actually saw Ghostbusters 2016 in the cheap seats with family.

Things I Loved: Stan Lee's cameo and tribute at the Marvel Title Crawl and Nick Fury.

Things I Liked: The Blockbuster/Radio Shack/Street Fighter references, Phil Coulson, Talos, and seeing Korath and Ronan from Guardians of the Galaxy being played by the same actor for continuity. Things I Liked at the Start and Groaned Later At: Goose the "Cat", the plot and its "twist".

Things I Disliked: The action scenes, Fury not fighting in the final act, bringing the Tesseract into this story, all the flashbacks referring to Carol being talked down by men all her life (I understand that the time frame makes sense for that mindset, but it felt forced and I felt like the visuals could have worked without the men voice-overs of telling her she "didn't belong"), Carol Danvers' power level (over 9000?) at the end as it will affect the MCU as a whole in Avengers Endgame and the future phases.

Things I Hated: Fury's eye loss, Ronan's retreat at the end due to losing a ship and a single load of missiles, not enough Coulson (that's the fan boy talking), the trashing of Mar-Vell as a character as a whole.

Overall, the cast was mixed. Samuel L Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn do take the cake in this movie. Brie Larson did express emotion, despite what others may have said, but she was still a very wooden character and I didn't really root for her at the end like I did with other female characters in the MCU and even DC (Wonder Woman was a superior film, sorry Marvel). The action was okay yet forgettable and I didn't like Fury taking a side-step in the third act. My biggest pet peeve was Mar-Vell. Mar-Vell's gender swap did bother me, despite the fact I didn't bat too much of an eye in Doctor Strange's Ancient One. If it doesn't affect the story, fine. However, Mar-Vell did have a working relationship and sometimes (in recent iterations) a romantic one as well. It could have worked. We have seen men characters rising up due to a romantic interest be in trouble or dying. It could have been done in reverse just as easily here. It didn't, however, and Carol just worked for her on a military project. That was it. Mar-Vell was basically a throwaway character and reversed in gender due to the agenda since I assume they didn't want Carol to get her powers (albeit by accident as per normal canon means) from a man as it would remove all the flashback and current patriarchal society she is trying to defeat. Mar-Vell is here only to show up in the flashbacks, explain a plot point, and having the Supreme Intelligence take her form. I would have accepted and believed more Maria Rambeau being represented as the Supreme Intelligence or even Rambeau's daughter. But we didn't get much screen time with Mar-Vell and we just see three separate sections about her. One was her saying two sentences or so. Two, explaining that the engine would end wars. Three, her death and final words to Carol Danvers. Captain Mar-Vell was a warrior and had empathy towards humanity and had a strong history in the Marvel Multiverse. This was a character assassination for an agenda.

I feel like this was a lazy effort. We had Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and now the Wasp as strong women, as well as newcomers Okoye, Nakia, and even Shuri from Black Panther/Infinity War. Black Widow and Scarlet Witch should have taken the lead with a stand alone movie. Instead, I fear these previous women characters will take the backseat when Carol Danvers will take over the MCU without properly earning it. They even had Carol Danvers' call-sign in the Air Force "Avenger"! I don't like the direction the MCU is taking despite how well Avengers Infinity War took the entire Cinematic Universe to an incredible level. I just hope Endgame and the rest of the MCU from hereon does not suffer a crippling blow due to this movie.

Also, you might have noticed I did not connect Captain Marvel with Carol Danvers, calling her specifically by her name only. I really don't think she earned that title based on how bad they treated Mar-Vell and how she never earned her extreme power properly (like Rey in Star Wars). Maybe she will later, but if this movie is any indication, I'm not holding my breath.… Expand

The movie in general is ok, is not the best movie of marvel of course but not the worst, the capitan marvel and nick fury combination works like a charm but beside that is just a sunday movie. Hope in future movies of CM fix that.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The CGI was poor Samuel L. Jackson and Goose the Cat were the only good thing about Captain Marvel. Brie Larson's Emotionless performance lacked acting range and she is boring and uninspiring. Nick Fury how he lost his eye to a cat was a complete disservice to this Marvel character. Jude Law and Mendelson could not save this snore fest of movie. Annette Benning even though she is a good actress could not help the movie either. Make sure you have a caffeinated beverage when watching this movie. Brie Larson had no weaknesses was powerful throughout no real challenge for her or character devolpment. The fight sequences were lackluster and dull the villains are underdeveloped. Save your money and skip this movie.… Expand

In short Larson is a monotone automaton with little to no personality, I found a few instances where she showed some emotion and interest but they were few and far between. As to the story in my opinion it is too disjointed, the flashbacks make little sense and don't provide any character development. 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. In short better than The Green Lantern but not by a lot I can't say it doesn't have its moments because it does but I certainly wouldn't sit through it again, if you are a Marvel fan then go see it by all means you will not be blown away but again that's just my opinion.… Expand

The show really shows it is an adaptation of a video game made in rpg maker and in a bad way. It feels like no one put any effort into the writing and no one ever stopped to think about what it was they were doing. TheAngels of death
The show really shows it is an adaptation of a video game made in rpg maker and in a bad way. It feels like no one put any effort into the writing and no one ever stopped to think about what it was they were doing. The characters are mostly terrible especially the main girl whose only character trait is she wants to die. It is not that she has depression or anything(that could have been explored with nuance and understanding) instead she is simply edgy for the sake of what i only assume is shock value. She barely has any dialogue and when she does it is the same thing over and over. The other main character, zach has a good character design and voice actor but not much more than that, they attempt to develop his character but at least for me it did nothing to change my opinion on the character. The other side characters are nothing special, being quite typical for something in the horror genre. One side character who appears towards the back end of the show is a religious figure and that brings me to my next point. The show tries to have "hidden" themes and things to say, the main one being its comments on religion. It crams in religious language and imagery in the back end of the series but not intelligently whatsoever. Instead it feels like the show is saying "this isn't just a normal anime, we're smart and are teaching you something" without realising there isn't really a message in the show, just a lot of threads that lead no where and give me the impression that the show is up its own ass and is so impressed with itself. The show is also riddled with plot holes and elements that simpy make no sense, from a character spending half the season with a hole in him bleeding out yet being absolutely fine in the end to the main girl who up till this point had not been violent and very quiet decides to controll a minigun and mow people down for some reason. It's a mess. Another thing is that the shows main genre is horror yet it seems not to know how to display horror on screen. The show relies on lazy jump scares and empty shock value which is completely ineffective and at some points laughable. It fails to be even slightly unnerving and this is from someone who avoids horror movies like the plauge because he is essentially scared of them. I must admit i did not get to the end as the end of the series was aired as specials after the main show had finished and that gave me an exuse to stop watching this trash. It genuinely gets on my nerves that people think this is good and especially when i see the female lead character high up on lists of best characters of the season or whatever the list is.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok so first off the Stan Lee tribute was very heartwarming and probably the only emotion I felt in the entire movie. Had it not been for the tribute, this movie would probably be ranked lower that the 5 I gave it. The quality of this movie feels to be somewhere between a Disney Channel special and a Syfy Channel movie. The story was very slow and by the time the pace started picking up I had already checked out and was not interested. The humor was weak in my opinion and I think only one joke made me laugh. Most Marvel movies I can leave the theater and recall my favorite parts. I left this movie feeling empty and relieved it was over. Samuel L. Jackson's role as Fury felt out of character to me. Weve been used to a serious, but sometimes cuts a joke here and there, Nick Fury. This version of a younger Fury did not feel like the same person. Fury was more laid back and made jokes as much as he could. Fury was pretty much the comedic relief of the movie and not the strong, get things done, Fury weve had since Iron Man. Yeah change is good, but this was not a good change in my opinion. Next the cat...I did not like the cat. The reveal was nice to see but then it was overused and lost its hype, quickly. Also it was pretty predictable that the cat would be the reason Fury lost his eye, which was also overused and lost its appeal. The way the movie kept joking and teasing the audience about how Fury may lose his eye was a gag that fell flat. Every time something happened to Fury they movie would draw attention to his eye for a huge build up and DUD, he'd be fine. Then finally at the end of the movie the cat claws his eye in the most anti climatic fashion. Maybe the whole joke was to make people feel like Fury was an awesome soldier who lost his eye from something spectacular, only to make it this made up story of grandeur. It felt very Snoke-ish to me as a fan. Now onto Brie Larson or Carol Danvers. Brie's performance was very bland in this movie. I didnt feel any authentic connection she was having with any of her other co-stars. The movie tried to get the audience to feel a connection with her long lost friend towards the end, but it also fell flat due to it being mixed with a plot twist. Onto the character of Captain Marvel itself. Captain Marvel, CM, felt very much like a Mary Sue. CMs power level through the movie went from being a super hero to god by the end of the movie. To quote the late great Ron Burgundy "Well that escalated quickly." CM went from single handily beating waves of bad guys and upgrading to beating waves of massive space ships and causing a fleet of Ronan the Accuser's ships to retreat. Then after seeing her demolish gigantic space ships she faces her true enemy in the movie, Jude Law's character, who doesn't have godlike powers. It was like watching someone beat Floyd Mayweather and then having a 4 year old as the next match. Im assuming that was also another joke that fell flat due to its delivery. My biggest complaint was the heavy feminist points. Im ok with the movie being having a strong female character, but when the movie constantly throws it in your face "hey! men are douches" or "did you see how rude that MAN was??" It was a bit annoying and took me out of the movie and felt as if I was watching CNN. I was waiting for a gender pay gap reference by the end of the movie. This movie had potential to be a good movie, but it feels like a lot of it's problem was the execution or delivery. The end credit scenes were just bland, important, but bland. How CM just pops up behind Black Widow and in this Ben Stein voice asks "Where's Fury?" was comical, to me. The second end credit scene was drawn out and predictable. When the movie ended I already figured out the end credit scene would be the cat coughing it up and that's exactly what happened. The movie definitely feels like a somewhere in the middle kind of movie. It did not live up to expectation or to the Marvel name.… Expand

The problem I have is that I don't think it is as good as many other marvel films in the MCU. There's a great message about being your true self and finding the power within, however there is a moment in the film that contradicts this and they play it off as if it is just something that's okay. I won't say what it is for spoiler reasons. For the things that I liked about it, the sci-fi elements were cool, especially the world of the Kree. Their empire was really cool to see especially after seeing them in Guardians of the Galaxy. I also liked Ben Mendelson who plays Talos, and Samuel L. Jackson who plays once again the one and only Nick Fury. The performances all around except for Brie Larson were pretty good.
Another I want to say is that they do a tremendous tribute to the late great Stan Lee. It is such a beautiful moment of the film. I won't say what it is but it was really sweet.
Now for the things I don't like, first off, I am not a fan of Brie Larson's performance. I don't like how she is a super sassy egotistical person who I feel doesn't really take things seriously, and when she does, it doesn't feel like Brie Larson actually cares enough. She was in my opinion, the downside to this movie. I am hoping later on they can develop her character more, because this movie did not do that at all. Brie Larson is a talented actress, but the direction and writing of her character in this movie fell flat. Overall this movie just feels like set up for Avengers Endgame with no real character development. Carol Danvers is an unlikeable person, and I'm hoping she develops into a superhero that I can be inspired by. Thor did that for me in Ragnarok, but I don't want to wait 3 or 4 movies with Captain Marvel before I start to feel as though she is someone who I feel is inspiring. If you like this movie, that's fine, if you don't like this movie, that's okay too. There's nothing wrong with disliking this movie, or even hating it. Just as there's no reason for loving this movie and thinking it is just okay. It's a decent movie for people looking to just simply be entertained, but for me, I expect something more out of the MCU which has given us some of the best characters in cinema.… Expand

From the casting of Brie Larson and her appalling anti-(white)male rhetoric, the non canon story line, the OP status and future predicted role she might play in Endgame, the major vilification of the fan base from Marvel, Larson, Kevin, mainstream media, etc.. and the taking away of the public's voice on review sites such as RT.

I'm so disappointed in the people who hold no stakes or interest in the Marvel franchise or its fans (especially of the comics and the MCU) who have invested so much in this brand, and what they are doing to this beloved world of superheroes.

I'm simply disgusted in the whole process thus far.

About the movie itself.. nobody really liked captain marvel in the first place, the comic has been repeatedly restarted the last few years.. and that makes it a strange choice in the first place.
Movie captain marvel is ridiculously overpowered and self centered..
There is a feminist undertone throughout the movie.

I didn't like it at all, and when demanding people go see it and accusing people of trolling if they don't review it positively justifies my ultra low score.

Anybody feel free to see it and enjoy it if you can but understand that for original comic (book) fans, the way things are shaping up lately (2 years?) is unacceptable.… Expand

If they make a sequel to this, they need to leave out out the man bashing as it's getting old now, and change the lead actress, due to her inherent unlikeability.… Expand

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off to all the Marvel fans that know your comic history… You are going to hate this movie as it breaks a lot of comic lore. Walter Lawson in now Wendy Lawson. Fury’s eye is lost because… well not going to spoil it but WHAT!?!?! Monica Rambeau is a little girl who’s mother, Maria Rambeau is Carol’s best friend from her previous time on Earth. Frank Rambeau doesn’t exist. Ok so there is a few of the lore breaking parts and if that starts your blood boiling avoid the movie.

I posted an “honest no spoilers” review on RT and it was removed because “I’m trolling”. Therefore, this review has spoilers at the end.

This is a perfect example of bad writing, poor directing and wrong casting.

Brie Larson is a miscast. She obviously isn’t cut out for this part as when it switches from serious to banter her body language and facial expressions look fake. In the beginning it is established she is too emotional but during the movie she lacks emotion. They have Carlson for that. When she tries to banter, she just comes off as petty and smirks. Her combat scenes are jumpy from bad editing. Not sure if this is because she lacked the skill to simulate combat or just bad editing. If I had my choice Yvonne Strahovski would have been in the part as she has the talent and combat skills from her previous roles.

Samuel Jackson is good at his part. They did a wonderful job making him look younger in the film and I do have to applaud the art team for this. However, his character is another story. Nothing scream who the heck is this as the scenes with the cat. Fury has always been a smart tough character until here where is inexplicably trusts aliens and acts a fool at times.

Editing is a nightmare. Enough cut scenes to make your head spin and eyes ache. CGI is ok and if you want explosions you got them. In fact every so often they toss it in to keep people awake.

Spoilers below

The movie starts out with a series of dreams/memories of Carol Danvers/Vers time on Earth. In this memory is a woman, Wendy Lawson and the memories end when the skrull shoots her. She wakes up and it is revealed she doesn’t remember her past. Soon she meets the Supreme Intelligence who imitates the woman from her dreams/memories. After that onto her first mission where she is captured on the alien planet where the mission takes place.

When the Skrull are probing Vers mind they somehow discover the planet in question is Earth. Vers breaks free and fights the Skrull of course escaping the ship in a life pod. In this life pod she crashes to Earth so some how they made the journey to Earth instantaneously. Yet later it takes days for backup to travel the distance.

After crashing to Earth she meets a security guard who witnessed this crash during the middle of the night. Asking for communication equipment he points her to a Radio Shack and the pay phone next to it. Suddenly it is day with the police and Shield arriving. Guard still sitting there and Vers is calling her squad from the pay phone she upgraded. Apparently several hours have passed before anyone responded to the call made by the guard when she crashed.

A few minutes are spent trying to establish the story as Fury meets Vers for a few minutes before the obligatory attack from the Skrull. They establish the Skrull can take the shape of anyone yet with just a look Vers realizes that an elderly woman is a Skrull punching her. The Skrull have infiltrated Shield and Fury sees his first dead Skrull realizing aliens are real.

Jump to the scene where Vers is outside a bar when a biker pulls up asking her to smile (Cringe). When she doesn’t, he pulls his keys and goes inside. Vers steals some cloths off a nearby mannequin before stealing the biker’s motorcycle. But she get the key’s?

For some reason she arrives at a bar in the middle of nowhere seeing pictures on the wall of a jet involved in a top-secret project. With no explanation Fury is there and they banter a bit because now Vers cannot tell if he is a Skrull agent. She asks him several personal questions to prove he is human because Skrull’s have the recent memories of those they imitate. So, without knowing Fury she questions him about his personal past?

Que top-secret base where Fury’s thumbprint lets him on accompanied by Vers who doesn’t need a cover or credentials because… Yet, after asking about Wendy Lawson they get locked up in an office because bases don’t have holding cells. With his communicator that they didn’t take from him Fury calls for backup. Escape from the office, meet the cat and sneak into the records room by blasting the doors because nobody hears it.

Now the obligatory combat scene because people in the theater are TEXTING/READING MESSAGES ON THEIR PHONES. I walk out smoke a cigarette asking the guy at the door what the hell am I watching. Go back to at least finish the movie but by now I am also reading Reddit posts.… Expand

This movie had the potential to be an fresh take on the MCU: because it is set in the 90s, it doesn't need toCaptain Marvel: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Spoiler-Free) I will make it very simple and clear: this movie is a mixed bag.

This movie had the potential to be an fresh take on the MCU: because it is set in the 90s, it doesn't need to account for the majority of events in the last 21 movies. The movie could have been an island of creativity. Unfortunately, it feels more like how many superhero movies used to be made in the late 90s and early 2000s: one dimensional, predictable and formulaic. >>>>> The Good: 1) Samuel L Jackson in EVERY scene he is in. Funny without being silly. De-aging CGI was perfect. 2) Ben Mendelssohn switches from dark menacing to light humour seamlessly. Great acting even with heavy makeup. 3) Jude Law's character in the first half of the movie was multi-layered and interesting (until the script ruined it). 4) The Rambeau daughter and mother actresses are good with what is given to them. 5) The spaceships dogfights are the best CGI in the film. 6) Stan Lee's tribute was heartwarming >>>>> The Bad: 1) When the cat is CGI (most of the time) it is very noticeable. 2) They never cared to explain how a Flerken ended up on an US Air Force base. 3) The CGI on CM face when she unleashed her full power is bad. Modern videogame cutscenes have more believable characters. 4) There are no high stakes by the end of the movie. Not once you feel she was in peril or her failing was a possibility. 5) Ronan the Accuser: the characters added nothing to the movie, he is just an Easter egg. Lee Pace's makeup and acting somehow was worse than 5 years ago in GotG. 6) Except for Talos, the Skrulls masks weren’t all that great. Reminded me of the 90’s Star Trek TV show. >>>>> The Ugly: 1) The pacing is terrible. The movie just don’t know what it wants to be. The movie started off interesting, with a Memento like premisse with confusing flashbacks and the main character trying to piece them togheter. But, as soon as she lands on Earth (act two), there’s no more character arc: it’s a straight line. The movie drags and becomes predictable and boring from the midway onwards. 2) So, so much filler... The movie is full of scenes that don’t develop her character (more on that latter) or move the plot forward. The train/subway chase scene is the most evident example. 3) Brie Larson’s performance: by far, the biggest problem going on for this movie. If the script required her to be emotionless and robotic, she would have been a perfect casting. However, in the first three minutes her character smiles (Jude Law’s character even tells her that humor is a distraction) proving that Carol Danvers is capable of emoting. That’s the most unsettling part of her acting: every time the script demands that she shows emotions, Larson feels forced and unnatural. She even managed to botch her reaction to the big (and kinda predictable) plot twist at the end of he second act. She couldn’t sell her friendship with Rambeau as believable either. Larson is so bland on this movie that every support actor/actress that she shares the screen with seen vivid by comparison. She never felt relatable of inspiring. By the end of the movie, I couldn't tell what kind of personality CM had. The script/dialogue told me she was supposed to be witty and snarky, but unfortunately she lacks the charming personality for it to work. People point out that she is an excellent actress because she won an Oscar. Well, Halle Barry starred the atrocious Catwoman the same year she won an Oscar for Monster Ball. If Larson is a good actress, she definitely wasn’t on this movie. 4) The way that Fury lost his eye could have been handled so much better! At least they could have made him fight for the “artifact” and lose his eye as a result. Instead, it was just a gag (his exchange with Coulson about the incident afterwards worked tough). >>>>>>>> Overall, a pretty weak MCU movie, I would rank it among Thor 2: The Dark World, The Incredible Hulk and the last two Iron Man movies. If it weren’t for Larson’s dull performance and inconsistent script, this could have been a better origin movie than Thor and Captain America. And no, you won’t be missing anything important going to Avengers Endgame in case you skip this one.… 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.

You can easily begun to watch it after the first hour and you would understand everything and even get the fun part of the movie.
Second point, I understand that for reason of the plot the actress cant show emotions but her performance is like some who that doesn't want to go to work or even work with bad attitude, obscuring all the nice things that you can take from the movie. And you have a S.L.Jackson being a pg13 S.L.Jackson but you loved because he is ACTUALLY doing a good job.… Expand

Awful lazy plot with no enteresting background. The spirit of 90s is shown very simple, it hard to believe. Captain Marvel has so many superpowers, so it is very hard to empathises to her.

Maximum disappointment. +1 point only for Stan Lee. A chair is more emotional than Brie Larson.

The film is completely lacking in gravitas, and substitutes it with dumb, wishful & twee grrl-power. Ruins decades-old characters for what comes across as a petulant, childish tantrum. Obviously the writers, directors and crew have no idea what good sci-fi is, or what good comics read like or good films, for that matter, and thus fail on every parameter they could have possibly failed on. The MCU was becoming, against all odds, an incredible franchise, well executed so far. This film throws all that hard work out the window, and drags it down into Kardashian-like inanity. A Forced, unrealistic plot, with obviously untrue girl-power tropes shoehorned in and all the legacy characters being thoroughly uncharacteristic in order to elevate this mediocre "hero". It comes across as little more than an indulgent parent entertaining a tantrum from an ill-behaved and untalented child. Stupid, "woke" people making stupid, "woke" things to justify their own stupidity, and making the rest of us endure it. Absolute garbage. I hope nobody involved with this twee atrocity is ever allowed anywhere near a film-set ever again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film completely destroys MCU continuity and introduces an absurdly overpowered character that totally diminishes any concerns one might have combating Thanos in the future. Carol Danvers' origin story is bereft of any element necessary for a meaningful and interesting character arc. All great MCU characters overcome some personal character flaw that results in the emergence of a better version of themselves thus becoming a true hero. Danvers comes across as a bratty tween overcoming nothing except for the universal "patriarchy" represented as a neck restraint which she casts off reveling she was perfect to begin with. No arc; no substance; just virtue signaling and preaching. I could reference the bland emotionless childlike performance of Brie Larson. I could discuss, in depth, the atrocious physics errors of the film. However, as the banal story of the film already serves to destroy the MCU anyway, what's the point?… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally didn't like how they used the skrulls in this movie. I was expecting something much more engaging and threatening then some homeless Skrulls just looking for a new place far away from the Kree to live. In the Comics, these two Empires constantly fought to expand each of their territory, and they didn't care if anyone got hurt in the process if they got in their way while doing so! I expected way more action on earth then we got, but instead we ended up wasting too much of the film in useless moments and on a story of refugee Skrulls that really made no sense! Why for once could they just take a known story that worked from the comics and developed that into the movie? Also, I may be wasting my time asking this question, but why did they have to once again use an infinity stone to grant someone their powers when that was never the case in the comics?! I just hate it that Marvel decided to take a movie that could have been good and over complicate it with things like the Cosmic Cube, which, I am not even sure if in the comic was an infinity stone at all. My final thought on this is, the movie is mediocre at best. The best character in it wasn't even a person but a cat and most of the time was CGI at that!… Expand

women's genuine struggle for basic things as equal rights, equal opportunities, the right to live and work with dignity is being hijacked by a bunch of overpaid underworked feminazi bozos who have an agenda that contradicts the reality of what women are really fighting for centuries.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brie Larson felt like she just phone in this role. Her emotions in this movie felt fake to me. one scene u see a a fake tear role down her cheek seemed like she just put a drop of water there. i hope the recast her like they recast bruce banner after the hulk movies. its like she didn't take her role serious at all. Plot was not good it was almost like EA's Battlefront 2 story mode plot pretty much and that was not a good plot either lol. meaning she switched side pretty fast from being a kree hero to helping the skrulls after trying to kill them... so Skrulls are the good guys some reason... and Captain marvel is the reason teh avengers are called the avengers... she wasn't even well liked in the comics when the first avenger movie came out.. plus how come nick fury didnt tell the original avengers that aliens were a thing in the 1st avenger movie? if he met CM and skrulls years before teh avenger movie. alot of retcon in this movie its almost like what the last jedi did to force awaken. and lastly a alien kitty scratched fury eye out but soem reason fury keeps the cat next to him with his own little cat bed.. after that epic scene in winter solider where fury shows his eye. he still trust the alien cat that scratched his eye out.. oh and teh movie fights were kinda lame the first fight scenes were to dark to understand whats going on. and when CM was fighting her old allies u will see CM destroying them but some how her mentor gets the upper hand out of nowhere. which was liek ok? how did that happen? she is able to body smash a kree fighter jet and one of those giant ships that ronen the accuser used in GoTG vol 1. movie was BAD.… Expand

The story reverses 50 years of one of the most basic elements Marvel canon that cuts across the whole Marvel universe, in order to identify one race as symbolic of the downtrodden and another as a symbol of the evil white Western Patriarchy. It is painfully transparent and dumb. Even worse, this movie completely destroys the character of Monica Rambeau, turning her into a cliched black child of a single mom. Even though in the comics Monica has a good father and becomes Captain Marvel, and the leader of the Avengers, years before Carol Danvers does.

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

Not only did the writers embarrass themselves, they trashed and contradicted well-established MCU canon. Nick Fury was cinematically emasculated and allowed to do nothing more than coo and burble over a bloody CAT through the entire movie. Apparently Brie Larson couldn't tolerate sharing the spotlight with a character more 'masculine' than herself. And the Tessaract, a potentially WORLD-ENDING artifact which was previously fished out of the North Atlantic by Howard Stark after Steve Rogers ditched the plane carrying it--and himself--to save the North American eastern seaboard from annihilation? Nawwww... It was puked up on Fury's desk by the cat!!! Puh-LEEEZ! My five year-old granddaughter wouldn't buy that! Was this pathetic shill not 'inclusive' enough without pandering to the crazy cat-ladies??? I hope Avengers Endgame can pull the MCU out of the waste-pile into which Captain Marvel has just crashed it. The franchise was too well-done to be utterly ruined by such unprofessional stupidity.… Expand
