It is worth remembering that the MCU is not the same canonical Universe of the comics, Earth-616, even has a proper number for him, Earth-199999.

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

Brie Larson's Captain Marvel brings all the snark of Starlord with Iron Man's swagger and Captain America's command presence. Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury is hilarious, and I really liked the friendship between Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau (played by Lashana Lynch). The 90's references are fun to watch, as are the dog fights and some of the melee battles. My biggest problems are twofold. First, the movie has tense points up until Captain Marvel regains all of her powers at which point it gets ridiculous. Secondly, they take the female empowerment message a little too far with some snide comments against men in general. Yeah, I get it it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But it detracts instead of adds to the story.… Expand

It might not end up being the most memorable movie in the scheme of things, but it was a LOT of fun and Brie Larson is really satisfyingly badass. In a lot of ways, with its tone, a plot twist or two, and the concurrent flashback storyline, it didn’t feel like a Marvel movie in that very specific paint-by-numbers way that these movies can go. In addition to being set in the 90s, it reminded me a lot of a movie I would’ve seen in the 90s — with its buddy cop tone, cheesy but heartwarming inspirational lines, and the after-school special messages of fairness and friendship — all on that gargantuan Marvel budget.

Think Top Gun meets Memento meets Robocop meets... space Buffy?… Expand

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


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

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


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

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

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

Go see it in theaters

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

The movie's full of surprises and unexpicted twists, and carries important messages. There're a Stan Lee tribute, his signature cameo, a significant mid-credits scene, and a less significant post-credits one, but you should see it. Absolutely worth a second viewing.

I honestly enjoyed this MCU flick more than Iron Man 2, Thor: The DarkI see lots of people trashing this movie and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because of the perceived political pandering ("Captain SJW" - LOL, neckbeards are funny). I honestly enjoyed this MCU flick more than Iron Man 2, Thor: The Dark World, and Ant Man & The Wasp, all of which seem highly negligible to the MCU in comparison to this entry. The movie had a fun sci-fi vibe with a retro 90's feel. Lots of hilarious punchlines, and some great supporting roles.
Was Brie Larson the best actress for the part? That's the question burning everyone's mind as they venture to the cinema for this female-led adventure, which is a first in the Marvel universe. I feel that someone better COULD have been chosen but it's always hard to say exactly who. Comic book fans have a grandiose vision of their favorite heroes built up in their minds and it's literally impossible to appeal to everyone's taste. I can certainly imagine actresses who would be WORSE at this role, but it's a real head-scratcher to think about who might actually do BETTER. More than likely a relatively unknown actress would've been the only choice left, but that's obviously not a gamble that a major film studio would be willing to take.
With that being said I still feel Brie handled the role pretty well. I had low expectations going in, and her snarky attitude is almost too much to take in at times, but she made the performance convincing enough for me to suspend my imagination.
Aside from the controversy over the lead actress and the stupid political debate (I'm genuinely sick of politics infecting every aspect of our society... movies are just supposed to be fun), the film was just a fun ride from start to finish. It was truly epic seeing Captain Marvel in her full glory tearing everything apart. Sure, it might not rank up there with some of the better films in the MCU but it's definitely a solid entry and it has me hyped up for Avengers: Endgame now.… Expand

Captain Marvel will go down in history as one of the most revolutionary movies of our time. Before I get to my review it needs to be stated that anyone giving Captain Marvel a score of less than 8 simply cant handle the fact that a strongCaptain Marvel will go down in history as one of the most revolutionary movies of our time. Before I get to my review it needs to be stated that anyone giving Captain Marvel a score of less than 8 simply cant handle the fact that a strong female protagonist is being depicted as someone who doesn't need to rely on some generic male character who is, by default, (by virtue of western society-induced implicit biases, or simply by lazy writing) intellectually and physically superior to any and all female characters. That is a fact. Unfortunately we live in a society so mentally distorted by antiquated patriarchal systems of power that the most entitled and privileged among us are hardwired to react with fury and vindictiveness whenever the mere notion of gender equality is expressed to women and girls who have been told for centuries that they're not good enough. Fortunately, some men such as myself are intellectually advanced and compassionate enough to acknowledge this, and are willing to stand behind women in their fight for justice. Now onto the review!


Brie Larson, both as Captain Marvel AND as herself is perhaps the most inspiring character and individual in modern history. She takes all the stereotypes of "muh femalez are all weak and helpless" and turns them completely on their head, exposing the denied truth that women are just as strong as their male counterparts. Stereotypes like this are extremely harmful to the emotional well-being of women. Ms. Larson's acting is simply exquisite. I genuinely cried a few times throughout the movie; not just because of how incredible the experience was from beginning to end, but because I became so emotionally overwhelmed by the realization that FINALLY women are being represented as the strong, independent forces of nature that every single one of them are, and this is FINALLY becoming mainstream. We are at a turning point in history, and I can think of no better way to encapsulate this revolution of gender equality than the release of Captain Marvel. I'm not ashamed to admit that I am holding back tears as I write this, as I cannot help thinking of all the struggles endured by women that have finally led us to this point. So to anyone still considering whether to watch this movie: do it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to only pay $10-15 to take part in a historic moment. At the very least, your contribution will incentivize other Hollywood producers to follow our lead in fighting for freedom and justice. "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything."


Oh, and to whoever wants to downvote my review: you're just confirming the angry white male stereotype, but at least it is a valid stereotype.… Expand

The 1990s nostalgia is subtle but there, with the hotwiring of a Gameboy to communicate with her superiors, to the throwback to some great songs of the 90s. The Skrull are actually well done in that you thought they would be the villains but they flipped the script to make them seem more misunderstood. I agree that Captain Marvel is overpowered but that's her character, just like Superman is overpowered. Ben Mendelsohn also does an incredible job as Talos and Annette Bening is also great.… Expand

Pros: Carol is a bada$$, lots of cool Marvel nerd references, favorite Stan Lee cameo (and anyone who looks closely and knows where my fandom lies will know why). The 90’s nostalgia was refreshing (as I’m getting a little tired of 80’s nostalgia) without being overdone. The bait and switch in terms of the plot sold me. Really dug some of the ways it tied into the broader MCU history. A really cool variety of action sequences. If you like action, it has a little bit of everything.

Cons: Carol is a bada$$, but I don’t feel like she got a real character arc to get her there. I wanted a little bit more of her backstory to really cement her character. I think I understand why she was presented the way she was within the context of the overall story, but I just wanted a little more. While I dug some of the ways it ties into MCU history, there were other ways I thought were kinda dumb. (Sidenote: While not a knock against the film itself, I’m still not sold on how she is being placed in the MCU timeline. I guess I’ll see how I feel after Endgame).

Special Nerdy Pro/Con Mix: There was a very particular thing I wanted from this movie that was given to me, just not in the form I wanted it. However, it did leave the door open for giving it to me in a later film.

Overall: While Brie Larson works well with what she was given and the character choices make sense in terms of the story, I really didn’t connect to Carol as a character. I’m also hoping her introduction at this stage doesn’t amount to a sort of Deus ex machina going into Endgame. That being said, the story is great, the action is great, Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) is great, Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) return is great, Goose the cat(?) is great, the Skrulls are great, all the comic book nerd references are great. All in all, pretty great.

Grade: B+

(P.S. Stan Lee fans, try not to cry as the film opens).… Expand

This movie was a lot better than I expected. The chemistry between Carol and Fury was great. It was a lot funnier than I expected too. Ben Mendelsohn's character was a nice surprise. And to those saying she didn't have an arc, I don't know what to say - she had a greater arc than even Captain America in his origin story. Gaining superpowers is not an arc - an inner transformation is. I love Captain America, but Steve Rogers went from a determined, nice guy to a determined nice guy with muscles. She went from a strong-willed person to one beaten down and brainwashed, to one who regains her strength through sheer will and the help of her friends. It was pretty endearing, actually. Also, that cat and the credits! A great setup for Endgame and a new hero.… Expand

The events of the story were not very predictable, but some of it was difficult to follow at the beginning. It's a story about a young woman who comes from another planet. It turns out that she was from Earth all along! In the end, she becomes the leader of the Avengers and destroys the invading enemies. In one scene, she was having a dream about her past memories and suddenly she remembered a very important detail from her past that helps her find her old friends on Earth. Carol has to be brave and struggle in order to survive as a woman trying to work in a traditionally male profession- flying for the Air Force. She has to be patient and react calmly so that she can win her battles gracefully. There were only a few times when I thought the movie was awkward, and they quickly passed. I would recommend this movie and the ending ties in all of the characters from the Marvel universe. I am looking forward to the last movie.… Expand

I went to the cinema yesterday and me and my friends had a really good time watching this movie.

Much like many of the other superheroes in the marvel cinematic universe, I didn't really know much about them before watching the movies, and that's the case with Captain Marvel as well. I was happily surprised by how much I liked her as a character, what she stands for, her super powers and now I just want to read and watch more of her.

I had such a big smile on my face during most of the movie. I laughed and cried and sometimes both at the same time. Since the movie is set in the 90's, it has plenty good of callbacks with both music and other nostalgic moments that I won't spoil here. Growing up as a teen in the 90's, I was humming along (inside me, I don't disturb others in the theater :p) to many of the classics songs that I remember fondly from my youth.

Without spoiling anything I just want to mention that the special effects and CGI in this movie are simply superb!

Marvel has made so many good superhero movies over the years, and Captain Marvel is just as good as the others that came before it.
So if you liked any of the other Marvel movies, or in general like superhero movies, there is a high probability you will like this one as well.
If you are tired of superhero/marvel movies, then this will probably not change your mind.

I'm really looking forward to what comes next in phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what Captain Marvel will contribute there.… Expand

Captain Marvel has been getting a lot of hate for some reason. Some people don’t want to see the movie because they think it has an uber social justice warrior stink about it, but that can’t be further from the truth. Does Captain MarvelCaptain Marvel has been getting a lot of hate for some reason. Some people don’t want to see the movie because they think it has an uber social justice warrior stink about it, but that can’t be further from the truth. Does Captain Marvel say women can do anything men can do in the Marvel universe? Yes. But so does Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Infinity Crusade. Does Captain Marvel have potentially the most powerful female character so far? Yes, but the power is not her own. It is acquired. Does Captain Marvel spit on men and make them out to be total losers? Hell no. Captain Marvel is a movie about a female superhero who wants help from those around her, and it’s probably the best female superhero movie I’ve ever seen, even if there were a few issues with it storywise. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) is a member of the Kree Starforce who are on a militaristic bent to wipe out everything in the universe that isn’t Kree. They are ruled over by the Supreme Intelligence, a computer system that run the empire. The military works with the Accusers, fanatics who do a lot of dirty things to keep the empire in order. Carol—or Vers, as she is called by her colleagues—works under Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), a man who is trying to bring out the best warrior he can in Vers, only she keeps relying on power that the Kree don’t understand and don’t want her to use unless it’s for their cause. On a mission with the others to track down and destroy some Skrulls, Vers is captured and subjected to a memory probe that shows her a planet she doesn’t know. She escapes and crash lands on said planet, Earth, where she meets Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, and they help her discover what is going on. Captain Marvel has a lot going for it, but the weakest thing is probably the script. The script is far from horrible, but it could have dealt with another rewrite. And while there were no plot holes that I noticed, the story overall was a fun sci-fi adventure in the Marvel Universe that really did not feel connected to the rest of the current Marvel Cinematic Universe—even with the post-credit scenes—much the way The Incredible Hulk and Guardians of the Galaxy really don't feel connected to the MCU but are. But I was happy that the writers did take a moment to explain why the Kree Supreme Intelligence looks the way it does in the film instead of just angering fans because it’s not a giant head. And while Brie Larson is a great-looking Captain Marvel, she just did not feel authentic in the role. That might change upon more watches, but for now, I’m not unhappy with her, but I think another actor choice might have been better. I feel the same for Ben Mendelsohn, who I really like as an actor, but who I felt was completely out of place in the MCU in general. However, the rest of the cast was stellar, from Jude Law to the de-aged Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg. Both seemed completely at home, though Clark Gregg seemed a little weird to me, but it might have just been because he had hair in the movie. And no one can forget Goose. The special effects in the movie were stunning. The space battles were great (and thankfully not too many of them), and the de-aging effects were better than I’ve ever seen. Samuel L. Jackson looks just like he did in 1995. And the costume and the way they made Captain Marvel glow was awesome to see. Everything made the movie feel like a Marvel movie, even if the script didn’t completely make it feel like it belonged. Overall, Captain Marvel is definitely a movie to see in the theater and pick up on blu-ray. It’s not boring. The pacing wasn’t off, and there are no dull spots. There was also no man-bashing or “I am woman, hear me roar” in it. Special effects were good, and there were a few surprising moments. The directors did a good job with the movie, but Captain Marvel might have been better served with better directors and perhaps a better actor for the main character. And opinions regarding Brie Larson can change after another viewing.… Expand

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

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

Much like Carol's comic book history, the plot of the film is complicated, more than it should be. The first half of the film is a write-off... for an alien warrior without a past, Larson plays Danvers bafflingly chipper and flighty and we're given a tonally bizarre 90s buddy cop (which appears to be the sole reason the film is set in the 90s, by the way).
However, the second half is where the film shines. Interesting (though again, complicated) plot twists, mind-blowing fights and an amazing message of empowerment that will have you cheering. Move over Mr. Rogers, there's a new Captain in town!… Expand

Not a real complaint though as it added drama and escilaction. Once the escalation was done though, it felt as though the writers didn't know how to handle such a powerful character. Doesn't matter though, thoroughly enjoyed it and going back for round 2!… Expand

There are several interesting twists and fantastic CGI. The de-aging of Samuel L. Jackson was so flawless I never even thought about it! Brie Larson and Jackson had terrific chemistry. Their scenes together and the comedic use of the cat was quite entertaining and had me laughing aloud several times. I *really* like that they didn't sexualize her! As much as I loved Wonder Woman and enjoyed looking at Gal Gadot, esp. in that role, she always looked like a model, even during her fights, and her costume exposed a lot of her body. In contrast, Captain Marvel's suit covers her whole body, yet she looks sexy in it! Carol Danvers looks like a tomboy and a fighter pilot, not a model, so she's more relatable to average women. I absolutely love her suit, especially with her CM colors! She looks feminine w/o having to show skin. I also like that she didn't have a love interest! I actually thought that made her more interesting. Not EVERY story has to have a romantic subplot or a love interest for the lead character. It was interesting that she had a familial bond w/ her best friend and her friend's daughter. One disappointment was that I expected greater emotion from her friend upon seeing Carol, whom she thought was dead, still alive!! Maybe muting one's emotions are just all part of being a fighter pilot, but it seemed odd to me. Still, the hug when they both accept what happened was touching, without being sappy. Overall, this piecing together of clues to find out who she is is an interesting way to tell her origin story. They diverged from the comics to create what I think is a better story, leaving out at least one problematic plotline in the comics, and making the Annette Bening character more complex and interesting. It's difficult to admit when one has been wrong and to change, so that was a positive element of this story. Seeing Carol Danvers' resistance to mind control near the end was inspiring. As for criticisms of Brie Larson's portrayal of the character, I still wonder how much of that is because the character never seems like a fish out of water, even when she literally falls onto a "strange" planet. Part of Wonder Woman's charm was the humor in how she stuck out when she was Diana Prince, as in, for example, the scene of her carrying her sword around in WW1 London. Her child-like joy (like when she tastes ice cream for the first time) were entertaining, and that's missing from Captain Marvel. Nevertheless, Captain Marvel is her own character, and she smiled and laughed quite a bit in the film, despite her dour expression in the trailers. I enjoyed this movie enough to go see it again. I'm sure I will see things I missed the first time around. I am also looking forward to seeing more Captain Marvel films in the future!… Expand

Great origin movie that isn't as traditional as the trailer may seem. It will be very interesting to see what they do with the character in the future MCU films.

The story and character development is solid. The movie experience is spectacular. Brie Larson does a great job portraying someone who has had their identity ripped from them and spends the story trying to reclaim that identity. A lot of people complain that she "doesn't show enough emotion" but I say that is a farce since her character is constantly being told to contain her human-side. Can't wait to see Carol Danvers again next month.… Expand

Enjoyed the film as did my two children, really not sure what the red reviews are for as the film is enjoyable and Brie Larson is great in the lead role. Sam Jackson is as usual great.

Not the greatest film in the MCU, but still filled with all the things I like in an MCU film - humour, great action scenes, incredible effects. Has only made the wait for End Game more anticipated.

Brie Larson's acting shined throughout the movie's duration and once the 2nd act started she met the heights of Tony Stark in this film but in the beginning she was giving me Thor vibes without much direction. I think the movie still had obvious problems and I think her power could hurt her in the future since she's just so powerful and creating fair fights will be hard. The final fight was more emotionally charged with less action. Overall Captain Marvel is a popcorn movie that stands out in the Marvel universe.… Expand

Which is sad andI though this installment and addition to the Marvel Universe was quite well done, not as bad as most reviews pretend it to be, and the low rating it got is more due to political reasons than it is about the movie itself. Which is sad and pathetic at the same time. Makes you question the credibility of the rating system altogether. The movie review scene have become a political battlefield of trolls and alike.

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

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

Love this movie so much! Brie Larson, the lead actor, injects more emotion into her performance as she breaks free from those who would rather her "control her emotions", perfectly aligning with her performance. Brilliant.

Not only was the acting fantastic, but the script was full of funny banter, references to the MCU, and even started with a heartwarmingly tragic nod to Stan Lee. The plot of the movie was so well thought out and connects so well to a multitude of other MCU films. As always, Samuel L Jackson brought a fantastic skill set to the table as Nick Fury and Brie Larson's fun but badass attitude matched Carol Danver's personality perfectly. The whole film was filled with hilarious 90's references, but enough jokes for younger audiences to appreciate too. That's all without the empowering feminist subtext that truly made the movie a joy to watch. I'll be honest, I'm only writing this review because of the mass negative feedback trolls have been giving this movie. For those people, my message is simple; If your masculinity is so fragile that a fictional woman being powerful upsets you as much as the comments say, you've honestly lost the right to call yourself a man. It's a new era, asshats. Women get some representation. Shocking, I know.

To the people who are considering seeing this movie, especially women, go. For. It. It's an amazingly powerful movie with plot twists and themes that make Carol Danvers more of a hero than many of the male members of the MCU.… Expand
