Movie's pretty good, well-made Marvel film through-and-through. Brie Larson does a nice job, and there's a couple twists that I did not see coming. Looking forward to Endgame.

The Kree and Skrulls were both done wonderfully, there were unique twists on the characters of Mar-Vell and Talos, and it naturally connected to other pieces of the cosmic MCU. Fury, Coulson, and Goose were also all wonderfully done. Marvel seems to have figured out how to reliably make solid villains finally, since we're on a roll with Vulture, Killmonger, Ghost, Thanos, and now this movie. Probably one of the best 'origin' movies I've seen in a while.… Expand

Brie Larson as Carol Danvers or Ver is at home as a badass superpower woman that doesn't want to be controlled or told she can't do something. Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury and vice versa. And get to know a lot about Nick Fury in this one. Ben Mendelsohn is great as Talos, the antagonist for the first half. I like the story. I love how the audience is learning about Carol Danvers as Carol is learning about herself at the same time. The acting is solid across the board. The action is great. The humor is really good. The best performance of a ginger cat on screen with Goose. Cat lovers will love this movie. I love Captain Marvel. Saw it twice and enjoyed it both times. I would say this is a solid 8 out of 10. But since the man-babies really don't like the truth that Brie Larson spoke about the film and media journalism industry being dominated by mostly cishet white man, they are review bombing this movie because they have nothing better to do. So I am giving this a 10 out of 10 just to troll them. But I do recommend everyone check the movie. Go see it. It is worth your time.… Expand

Fair review despite the politicization. The movie appears rushed. The first half of it was really mediocre, the dialogue was awkward, with no coherent flow and the acting was flat and uninspiring with the main heroes. Then half way throughFair review despite the politicization. The movie appears rushed. The first half of it was really mediocre, the dialogue was awkward, with no coherent flow and the acting was flat and uninspiring with the main heroes. Then half way through it's like they switched directors and you start loving the characters and actually want them to win. I assure you the last half is really good, I wanted to stand up and cheer but there was just 5 other people at the matinee. If you have been watching the other Marvel movies you are not going to want to miss this.

This movie is a 5-8. Peoples feelings about this movie are highly politicized because of Bree's comments but the movie did not appear to reflect those views. It is unfortunate that the beginning was so rushed, or whatever happened because I would really like to see a sequel done right.… Expand

Captain Marvel is jam packed with action and is a delight to watch. The humour comes thick and fast but never feels forced or prevents the narrative from including a lot of genuinely touching moments.

As a fan of the Captain Marvel comics itCaptain Marvel is jam packed with action and is a delight to watch. The humour comes thick and fast but never feels forced or prevents the narrative from including a lot of genuinely touching moments.

As a fan of the Captain Marvel comics it was a little nerve-wracking waiting to see how the MCU would handle such a layered, powerful character with a back story more tangled than most. Would the Carol I know be the same on screen? After seeing the movie, any worries I had evaporated faster than you can say "Lt Trouble".

Brie Larson did an incredible job of bringing Carol to life and was an absolute joy to watch. The whole cast gave stellar performances, from Sam Jackson's cat-loving S.H.I.E.L.D agent to Lashana Lynch's awesome air force pilot. Clark Gregg's return was brief but impactful and Annette Bening shone in her most mysterious role yet.

People who haven't seen the other MCU movies or read any of the comics needn't worry, there were plenty of subtle references, cameos and easter eggs included but there was no prior viewing or reading required.

Then there's the soundtrack, which has to be one of the best movie soundtracks ever! The film-makers made some bold decisions of where to use some of the iconic, grungier tracks of the 90s and for me every single one of them paid off. The 90s references don't end there either, and anyone who remembers the period will feel a few pangs of nostalgia throughout and find themselves remembering things they didn't realise they ever forgot (which is very fitting considering the plot) but it's never leaned on too heavily.

Unfortunately Captain Marvel is held back in the same way so many origin stories are. Having to introduce new races to the MCU and explain how a hero gets their powers is always going to take up valuable screen time. Carol's life before her powers is a fascinating one and I was left wanting to see more. But this is a super hero movie after all and so the focus will always have to be on that aspect of her life.

Overall the movie is incredibly fun to watch. Perfectly cast, with amazing effects and a plot that impressively manages to be both familiar and unpredictable.… Expand

Brie Larson was actually great in the movie, as were, surprisingly, all the other characters. Two of our old-time heroes appear rejuvenated by heavy CG, which I expected to suck. Didn't. Otherwise, villains and supporting cast alike act believable and fresh.

The CG is excellent, the score is excellent, the story was excellent (second time I didn't see the twist coming in a Marvel movie). Like other smaller concept movies (Ant Man/Doctor Strange), this is where Marvel really shines. I liked this one way more than the big Avengers movies.

I didn't get a feminist tone from the movie like other reviewers claim - I noticed and felt it was over the top in Star Wars, but nothing like this here. It just so happens that the heroes of the story are female. If you really get troubled by that, you have a different problem.

The movie made great references to 90ies themes - feels a lot like Top Gun in places, comes with a scene with a GNR tshirt (that made my day, btw). The title sequence is worth the price of admission alone (not spoiling it, but brought some tears to my eyes).

All in all, an unjustly maligned Marvel gem. I didn't care for the logics behind the big end confrontation, so I am subtracting one point for that, even though I feel I ought to give this movie a 10 just to offset the trollbots.

EDIT: changing my rating to 10 because I am, after all, upset at the bots ;)… Expand

Jude Law is also a ton of fun and kudos to Lashana Lynch.

It's fine. It's a movie that's neither worthy of significant praise (beyond it being watchable and easily disposable, that is) or substantive criticism (it is terribly formulaic). This is simply "a movie." Something you can pop on in the background while doing something else in your house. The action is competent. The humor is okay. The character work is thin, but not much worse than your ordinary b-tier Marvel solo flick (i.e. "Doctor Strange," "Ant-Man," etc.). It's just simply not worth all the fuss. Plain and simple.… Expand

But as a whole this is still a fun and exciting entry into the Marvel Universe. Anyone that says it ranks at the bottom of the MCU canon has some other agenda. Everything from Marvel is fun. And Captain Marvel is better than average for MCU offerings. Not as good as Ragnarok or most of the Spiderman movies. A whole order of magnitude better than any of the old X-Men flicks. Not as good as GotG, but better than GotG II. It is totally worth your time, and is an essential plot bridge to End Game.… Expand

The visual effects are amazing, except when Carol unlocked her full power. Some scenes weren't edited in the best way. But still, she was cool!

She was the perfect choice as far as I'm concerned, as she brought just the right emotion, confidence, wits, and so much more to the character! Her powers and origin story are beyond impressive, and I found myself cheering for her from start to finish! Some other returning MCU characters, such as Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson, etc. also made this all the more fun to watch. Furthermore, there's something here for just about everybody to enjoy, but 90s kids such as myself ought to really appreciate the soundtrack and references from the era throughout! Overall, this is undoubtedly another solid entry in the MCU, and more than lives up to the expectations it had with being the first female-lead MCU film thanks to the light-hearted and humorous fun we've come to expect from most MCU films, but most of all thanks to Brie Larson's all-around awesome performance and charisma!… Expand

A solid foundation for future solo outings with solid performances fromThis IS a film you CAN watch and enjoy if you know nothing about the MCU or indeed the comics, there is something for everyone here and EVERYONE will love Goose the Cat. A solid foundation for future solo outings with solid performances from all cast members, not perfect but no origin movie for an unknown character to moviegoers ever is (I class Black Panther as more introducing Wakanda than just a character and is an outstanding exception to the rule deserving of its awards and nominations).

FIRST OFF THIS IS NOT A SJW FILM, yes there are few moments when every day issues women have to deal with crop up, including the whole smiling issue, but it is not in your face or frequent. It may have been stronger if they had dealt with sexism head on but they opted to sidestep the gender politics it is accused of being about in the main. What some have tried to label as snobbish most women would recognise as every day ignoring the idiots and not letting them get you down and that's about it. Danvers is not one who expects equality on a plate, she gets knocked down or insulted she brushes it off. This is a strong, intelligent woman who works hard to earn respect and get what and where she wants in life, knock her down she gets back up and fights harder, refuse to pay for her to go to college she goes out, joins the Air Force and puts herself through college and appears comfortable and at ease in the company of men, no signs of the bitterness you might expect from the characters life story. Some may expect a female character to more openly display a wider range of stronger emotions but that simply would not be realistic for a USAF pilot who has spent 6 years convinced that she is part of a race who in the comics routinely lobotomise their women to suppress emotions and pleasure to prevent them controlling the men.

After 20 MCU movies it is impossible not to do the compare it to ALL the rest test but if you strip out the team films (inc Guardians and Civil war) this film stands amongst the best. Out strips the first two Thor movies by a mile, better than the incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Ant man 1 & 2 (unless your only after a comedy). After that it becomes more debatable depending on taste, and yes, gender. This IS a film women will tend to enjoy more than men and does give a strong role model for girls but it is a film men WILL enjoy too. It has similar pacing and structure to Iron Man 3 with strong action packed opening act, followed by ‘Vers’ crashing to Earth (at around the point in Iron Man 3 his house fell into the sea) and having to rediscover who she is through a new friendship (this time amnesia rather than PTSD) before heading into an action packed finale and is just as enjoyable as Iron Man 3.

All the performances from the cast were brilliant, I can understand some criticism about the way Danvers was written but she was true to what you would expect considering her military background etc it is true to life but I get that some ALWAYS want larger than life. Once she puts the pieces of her life back together and embraces her humanity she is every bit and more what you would want or expect both as person and as a superhuman. The chemistry and friendship between Brie and Samuel shines through in the 90’s style buddy movie middle section of the film. It could have been far stronger if it had taken more risks, tried to be more niche but at this stage in the Avengers story arc this was more about introducing the new character to be joining the team without wanting to make waves and it IS a solid foundation for future solo outings as well as starting to set up potential larger story arcs for AFTER end game. It is an origin story so like most it has issues due to having to explain how she got her powers, explore the powers, small voyage of personal discovery for the main hero and explain the two alien races all having to be crammed in. There is no love interest which is a plus and instead starts a true new friendship between Danvers and Fury and a true and deep, loving friendship rekindled between Carol and her fellow female pilot Maria Rambeau. There is no BIG enemy as such in this movie which some may view as a negative as there never feels like that life or death threat we are used to in CBM’s but for me gave the characters room to breath. This was a soldier separated from her squad in the middle of a war then questioning her role in that war so no overpowered enemy to fight for most the film is refreshing considering the HUGE fight she is going to be part of in the last Avengers film released just a month after this one.… Expand

In a few scenes, it looked like she was giving it her all in that performance while in others it seemed as if she was only phoning it in. That can be said about a few of the others. Especially Jude Law, who plays Yon-Rog, who I’ve seen in other roles and is captivating in it. But this role just didn’t seem to fit him that well. Really the only person I can say did a good job was Ben Mendelsohn, who plays Talos. Every scene that he’s in he gives it his all and you can easily tell he is comfortable in this role. This has nothing to do with the movie but I just loved Goose the cat. But speaking of Goose when they used a real cat actor it was great but when they switched it out and made him CGI it looked terrible. I feel like they blew their entire budget on different scenes and had to just find a clichéd cat on the internet. I only say this because all of the scenery in every scene is amazing. The cinematography is outstanding in this film. The pacing in this film was weird and just off. The film is two hours and four minutes but it feels like two hours and forty minutes. One thing that bugged me but also I was happy about was all the answers we got for other Marvel movies. This film has plot twists but they are so obvious that even a kid could figure them out before they are revealed. Due to this film taking place in 1995 I feel bad for all the kids who won’t understand the references the movie is making. But the cultured ones like me will get them. Finally, there are two end credits scenes but really just stay for the first one. In the end, Captain Marvel isn’t the worst Marvel movie but it also isn’t the best. I definitely recommend watching in 3D.… Expand

The choppiness of the first half left me disappointed, but once the film took off it was an exhilirating and enjoyable ride. Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, truly made the heart of the movie. This wasn't a typical superhero origin film where the title character learns to grow into a new version of herself, but rather has to come back to her roots and discover what made her a hero in the first place. Her cool and calm demeanor was refreshing, while her more soft and humorous moments showed Carol's complexity and Brie's talent. With Carol Danvers in the lead, other parts of the film that were lacking were much easier to overlook. Other characters such as Fury and Rambeau also did a fantastic job at supporting the main character while being strong on their own. Overall, the film did not meet my high expectations for being released this late in the MCU, but the bold and inspiring title character and a strong second half won me over.… Expand

I'd compare this the most to the first Captain America in that is a good balance of plot, action, and comedy. This film is surprisingly funny, which the trailers don't reveal. This is a buddy cop/road trip movie featuring interplay between Captain Marvel and Nick Fury.

Captain Marvel is likable enough, both confident and charming. Alison Brie does well in the role whenever it comes to the lighthearted bits. However, there are a couple times during the serious/expositional parts where she felt a bit wooden. It doesn't help that her tone of voice doesn't shift much.

Although, Nick Fury has been a regular of the Marvel films for a while, it's nice to see him finely be a lead character. Jackson seems to be having a lot of fun playing a younger, looser Fury (this takes place during the 90's).

Also a big fan of Ben Mendelsson as Talos, leader of a squad of the shapeshifting enemy race the Skrulls. I was afraid the actor was being typecasted in his villain roles recently, but this character is a total 180 of his previous ones. He's funny and one of the biggest people persons of the MCU villains.

Maintains the Marvel spectacle of visuals and action. They use computer graphics to make Jackson look younger and they have really perfected the technology. You only notice the CGI if you're looking for it. The graphics for Coulson aren't quite as seamless. I'm guessing they didn't put as much effort into him as he isn't in this as much. The movie is a very typical Marvel movie. It doesn't establish it's own tone like the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy or Black Panther. Suffers from trying to stuff too much plot and characters in. Marvel's past and relationships are given short shrift. More time should've been devoted to developing the characters of Marvel's best friend and the alien military unit she starts out as a part of.

They explain the cause of a certain event/line in a future Marvel movie but by trying to make a joke out of it. I did not like that at all. Robbed the seriousness of that moment and the attempt to play against expectations and the need for movie prequels to explain every little thing is just frustratingly predictable.

Ever since the Kree first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy, I've been waiting to see them adapt the Kree Intelligence who has always had a unique design. We finally get it and sadly the directors/writers just went with the trodden entity appears as someone the person knows routine.

Yeah, this isn't the most standout of the films, but I still got a lot of enjoyment out of this.… Expand

One of the funniest movies that the MCU has given us . A few pacing issues and less than 5 seconds of mediocre CGI is all that stops Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson from delivering a perfect origin story.

Larson came across as the sarcastic tomboy or logical alien depending upon your point of view. However, her chemistry with Samuel L. Jackson was what was priceless. She wasn't a Mary Sue character and fun to go on this journey with as a character. It definitely made me excited as a Marvel fan and 90s admirer. The soundtrack was perfect. And got me teary-eyed seeing Stan Lee on his last movie cameo for Marvel movies. Overall bravo and will easily watch this in the future like the rest of it's Marvel family.… Expand

However, I can see how someone watching through a different lens viewed it differently. In terms of the acting, I thought all the African American actors were excellent. However, I didn't like little aspects of Larson's fights scenes. I could tell in some scenes that she was holding back punches. And her running form didn't look as fast as her character was portraying. In that respect, I definitely don't think this movie should be rated 0 or 1. At minimum the movie should be rated 5-6. There were action scenes, humorous scenes and plot twists. Thus, I rate this movie an 8 out of 10.

Captain Marvel is a story of a woman who figures out her past, finds her truth, and breaks free from her oppression. It's a movie women and girls can watch, and feel empowered by. And, it's message is that when one falls down and faces setback, she should should get back up and break through barriers. This message is something that resonates with women, and can only be appreciated by watching through a feminist lens.… Expand

As with a good few Marvel movies Captain Marvel can sometimes feel like an extended prologue for more significant upcoming events, and there is nothing all that surprising, but put all the ‘controversy’ aside and you’re left with a decent enough film that offers the usual mix of action and humour that audiences have come to expect.… Expand

This is probably in the top 5 Marvel movies, it is great. Brie Larson may be a strange person out of the screen but inside the screen she has charisma, lovability and awesome acting skills. She did an incredible job as Carol Denvers. A must watch. You have Spider man, Iron Man, Ant man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, man, man, man etc, etc... Then they release a 1 title very focused on a woman. Male public TRIGGERED..., start collective witch hunt and destroys reviews. C'mon boys, grow up, this movie is amazing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The marketing surrounding Marvel Studio's Captain Marvel, leading up to its release, hyped an effects-driven spectacle focused on an unassumingly powerful lead-actress promising to go higher, further and faster. And on those expectations, Captain Marvel mostly follows through and only falls short when directly compared to its MCU brethren and other superhero titans like DC's Wonder Woman.

The film opens with a flashback montage disguised as a bad dream of Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) containing scenes and dialogue begging the audience to ask questions like: who is she? Where is she from? What is her role in this universe? And as audience members, we unfortunately already know the answers to all of these questions: Carol Danvers. Earth. She's going to whoop Thanos' ass. But the film proceeds as if we don't already know this. Once we put those questions aside, we are properly introduced to Danvers in a sparring (both physical and verbal) session with Jude Law's Yon-Rogg, the leader of her Kree military unit. In this sequence, we get a brief view into the conflict that is supposed to frame the rest of the movie: Danvers is plagued by an identity crisis beset by amnesia and others constantly convincing her to not embrace her true self and place limits (both physical and metaphorical) on herself. Shortly after this, a military operation goes awry, and Danvers is captured by the devious Skrull militants and is spirited away to Earth where the real plot and our protagonist's hero's journey begins.

The 90s aesthetic of the film is hit and miss. I found myself bobbing my head to familiar 90s rock and pop anthems throughout, but felt a twinge of nausea when I saw my third separate era-appropriate band t-shirt. But besides rock music and flannel, the world feels a legitimate MCU analog to the real-world's grunge era. Radio dials and payphones flank scenes with experimental Quinjets and SHIELD operatives. Many have praised the de-aging of Sam Jackson's Nick Fury and for good reason: you'd be hard-pressed to spot the difference between this version of SLJ and his appearance in Goodfellas. The only visual shortcomings arrive during the heavy action sequences. With a character who can fly, create energy blasts, and rock a gravity-defying mohawk, this movie deserved top-notch CGI; what we get is dicey visuals with often floaty looking characters resembling videogame avatars. All in all, the visuals neither make or break this movie. Fortunately, this film shines when the characters stop punching and brooding and start talking to each other.

There is a buddy cop aspect between Larson and Jackson that pleases mostly, with Jackson shouldering most of that load. Even Larson's brief interaction with a rent-a-cop dishes out a couple of good laughs. But the best pairings come late in the game between Larson and two supporting characters played by Lashana Lynch and Ben Mendelsohn. The former relationship represents a forgotten past with Lynch playing ex-fighter pilot Maria Rambeau who both Danvers' best friend and a key figure in rediscovering her lost memories. The chemistry between the two actresses allows the movie true sentiment and creates a reason to finally root for our main character. It's slightly disappointing that the film didn't capitalize more so on this dynamic. The latter of the aforementioned relationships represents Danvers' future and ascension to heroism. Mendelsohn plays a wartorn Skrull who is revealed to be not a terrorist but refugee seeking a new home for his displaced people. This is a refreshing take on both the comic book lore and the actor's range; it's great to see Mendelsohn in a role that evokes compassion rather than hate. It's with these interpersonal exploits that the movie ultimately allows Larson to bring her character to life so to speak and instill confidence in a future with this franchise.

By the end of the film, the audience gets a mixed bag of surprises and familiar ground; exciting and underwhelming scenes. The film does bookend itself with impressive and fun action while allowing characters to drive most of 2 hour and 5 minute run-time. Although, ultimately, this film does fall slightly short on its claim to go higher, further and faster than its competitors, the real reward to the fans is the resonance of Captain Marvel's personal relationships and the promise that her character will be a badass, but will also offer an empathetic presence among a laundry list of ego-centric superheroes paving the way for a variety of narrative to come.… Expand
