And I can honestly say, the political issues surrounding Brie Larson aside, that this is not a good movie. It seemed very uninspired, Larson indeed seemed very wooden like a lot of the reviewers are saying, and almost completely devoid of personality or charisma. There were long stretches when we were both quite bored and when the action did kick in, it wasn't convincing. The movie as a whole seemed like it was trying too hard - and failing. The jokes fell flat; they seemed forced and too obvious. I haven't seen any of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's other work, and I've always respected Marvels ability to choose directors who haven't necessarily had big blockbuster experience but do have good artistic instincts...but in this case it didn't work. They should not be let near another marvel film, or any other big budget blockbuster probably.

As for the woke factor, while it was never very overtly crammed down your throat, I did still get the sense that this was targeted at a certain audience, young girls in particular. So Maybe Larson was right after all - middle aged white dudes need not attend.… Expand

Marvel should have released this after Avengers Endgame. It is hard to care about any new characters when the ones we already know are in peril. The existence of Captain Marvel makes the events of the prior movies seem less important. You have to wonder where this character was when the Guardians of the Galaxy or Avengers needed help. Why did Nick Fury not care enough about the Earth in the prior movies that he did not call her for help? This movie creates too many plot holes in the Marvel universe.… Expand

Another MCU movie that is generic and cookie-cutter

Isn't the "trailblazer" the media keeps pretending it is considering DC had a solo female superhero movie back in the 80s with Supergirl, and it only took the DCEU's second solo film for Wonder Woman. I love how there is this big cry from the media, who totally aren't biased you guys (sarcasm) that if you don't love this movie, and if you don't go see this movie, than you are a woman hating sexist.

My answer to that is what does it make the media since they dumped all over Alita Battle Angel? Which was a much better movie and featured a lead who doesn't despise white men?

Don't go see this movie.

It's just not worth the price of admission. I luckily didn't have to pay out of my pocket because I got dragged last night to the Thursday screenings by my brother and his friend and my brother paid for mine because he wanted to get me out of the house since I've been sick all week.

The story is generic. Brie Larson's acting is atrocious, the villains have the make-up level of network television, the cat isn't the show stealing event the media keeps pretending it is.

Honestly there is no reason to trust the critics anymore. Syfy Wire admitted on a Podcast recently that they and everyone else will look the other way and throw softballs at certain movies to keep getting access to early screenings and red carpet events. So you can't trust the word of of a critic as far as you can throw them.

I almost don't even want to see Avengers: Endgame knowing that she will be the center of attention in it, knowing she'll most likely easily beat Thanos and make the rest of the cast we've grown to know over the course of a decade seem irrelevant. 1/10 and that's being generous… Expand

Villain(s) are horrible. Goose is good, but not great like everyone has been clamoring about. There is no evidence that Captain Marvel will swoop in and save the day. Her power levels felt comparable to Iron Man (maybe), and certainly not anywhere near Thor, Hulk, or Scarlet Witch level at any point. The levels of unconvincing in this movie are astounding.

Instead of Black Widow or Scarlett Witch films, Marvel decided to introduce a character that had 9 (nine) reboots of its comic, and market it as The Strongest and the new lead, replacing the Iron Man in the future. I don't know where to start to explain how miscast and misplaced that is.

Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away Marvel was at its lowest, having sold many of its characters to survive, and had to use a b-rate Iron Man for its movie, which was an immense success due to charisma and carrying of Robert Downey Jr, character progression and struggle through movie, character flaws, weaknesses and humour.

This time Marvel is at its peak, ready to present the culmination of a decade-long development of franchise, having a huge roster of popular and well presented characters.

What would be the worst possible things for Marvel to do in current situation? Lets's see:
- present an unpopular provocative character out of nowhere
- market it as the strongest, as if being the strongest is what makes characters likable and popular
- devalue all the decade-long popular and developed cast by claiming that the new character will succeed where they all failed
- allow the lead actor to make provocative devisive speeches on public time and time again
- make a totally mediocre movie for a character that is supposed to be central in their culmination final movie

That's the literal description of Captain Marvel, and while I was watching Brie Larson's unphased unchanging bored face for two hours straight, I could not find any reason in my mind why Marvel did this at this time. All I felt after the end credits was a stunning emptiness inside.

It's not a bad movie, though the action scenes were very choppy and I can't remember the soundtrack at all. But for a Marvel movie that leads to Endgame, this is a disaster, thus - 1/10 from me, from the bottom of my heart and soul.… Expand

I disagree with people who describe this movie as meh, mainly because this movie madeTL;DR I was starting to like Captain Marvel, even with Larson's bad performance, and then the third act made her a Mary Sue and ruined everything for me.

I disagree with people who describe this movie as meh, mainly because this movie made me sad. There is just so much wasted potential as it is obvious that the premise itself has the works of a good story in between, but one which the movie fails to deliver.
The Story: The premise is very interesting but the main reason this movie doesn't work is the lack of tension. There is never a moment where you actually feel concerned for the well-being of the main character, and very few moments where you are concerned for the supporting characters. And even then, the tension is never allowed to build but is quickly dispelled. This is especially problematic here because this movie takes place in the past. If you remember how tensionless the action scenes with Legolas were in the Hobbit because Legolas is alive and well in LoTR, you know what I mean.
The script is poorly written which causes a lot of threads not sufficiently explored (i.e. the Kree-Skrull conflict, the nature of Danver's powers....)
You can pinpoint exactly where the movie kind off falls apart, which is the beginning of the third act. That's where Captain Marvel becomes... well a Mary Sue basically since she's infinitely powerful and has no apparent weakness. at this point you are just waiting for the movie to end because there are no stakes at this point really.

The Direction: To cut it short; bad direction. The movie doesn't have a distinct visual style, let alone one conducive of a particular mood. The line delivery of multiple actors are generally bad to the point that in some scenes I'd actually laugh and wonder how do these scenes made it into the final cut and who thought it was a good idea. The flash backs are in many cases not very well intertwined with the main timeline. The pacing however is OK.

The Acting: Virtually everyone outperfroms Brie Larson in performance (Except Mar Vell), which gets distracting very early on. Larson's performance is awkward, bland, emotionless and uninspired. In fact I can't remember how many times her terrible performance turned me off while I was starting to care about Captian Marvel and her conflict.
Action and special effects: Action is pretty O.K, special effects are very good.… Expand

The movie attempts to establish Captain MarvelWell Marvel finally messed up. I have seen all MCU movies from one to three times each in the theater. I wanted this movie to be good. I though that maybe it's just the marketing. Well it's not. The movie attempts to establish Captain Marvel as the biggest and strongest hero in the MCU and falls flat on it's face. If she is to take over for Tony Stark and Steven Rogers I am genuinely concerned for the future of the MCU. Brie Larson lacks Robert Downey Jr.'s natural charisma and Chris Evans's charm.

The only good thing about this mess is the Stan Lee tribute and Samuel L. Jackson is as good as always. And Ironically for a "girl power" movie the men steal the show. Jude Law and Samuel L. Jackson put Larson to shame.

This movie is very unfaithful to the source material on the level of Green Lantern. Brie Larson is horribly miscast. She has zero range and at best a smug demeanor. Someone of the caliber of Emily Blunt would have been a much better fit. The great friendship the two ladies share is just not believable and the dialogue after Carol goes missing is cheesy at best. The Skrulls are wasted. The Skrull invasion is one of the most interesting stories in Marvel comics and now that door is shut forever. The way Nick Furry lost his eye is just ridiculous. And the way the Avengers got the name is just pure cringe. All white man in her past tell her to quit because she is a girl. Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, is gender swapped to be a woman. At first she is held back and by the end of the movie she is the equivalent of Superman. Carol Danvers has NEVER had this much power.

The claim that she is the first female super hero is absurd, as if Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Wlizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Evangeline Lilly's Wasp don't exist in the MCU. The marketing pushed this as a feminist movie and it is at the expense of story and character development.

TLTR: Skip it. If you are a normal movie fan you will be bored. If you are a comic book fan you will be foaming at the mouth… Expand

And that's the real goal of the film and marketing. We'll just look past Wonder Woman who already did a female superhero much better in 2017. We'll also overlook Brie Larson as a spoiled blonde girl trying to play victim here based on her identity (are you serious?). If you buy into this nonsense and want to have your agenda validated and be pandered to, you might enjoy this film.

Why I'm giving this a 0 is to make a clear statement about how they handled the PR for this film. Even the film itself is hating on "white males" at every opportunity and it's frankly sad. Brie Larson in her attempt at "diversity" have actually accomplished the complete opposite. She has offended the majority of this movies target audience by her sexist antics and I hope the movie gets punished in review and sales from this. Disney needs to know their behavior with Rotten Tomatoes will not be forgotten. What a train wreck really.… Expand

There is plenty in Captain Marvel to jar, dissapoint and annoy comic fans and followers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but those problems have been hinted at and discussed ad nauseum elsewhere, as have Brie Larson’s offensive commentsThere is plenty in Captain Marvel to jar, dissapoint and annoy comic fans and followers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but those problems have been hinted at and discussed ad nauseum elsewhere, as have Brie Larson’s offensive comments while promoting the film. Those issues might be overcome if the film was wildly entertaining, or it’s main character relatable and engaging, or if familiarity with the character and her story were necessary to an enjoyment of the much anticipated Endgame. Sadly, none of those things are true. Captain Marvel is a colossal bore. There is an abundance of action, but no meaning. The arc of growth and self discovery, the vulnerability, that so endeared us to Tony Stark, Steve Rodgers, Thor, Black Widow, and the Red Witch are apparently unnecessary for Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers spends the film confused about who she is, but at no point does she have to earn what she is. And that’s dull. Throw in tired “you go girl” and “don’t politely call me young lady or I’ll put my boot up your ass” feminist tropes and it becomes downright annoying. The only thing flatter than the character’s arc of self discovery is Brie Larson’s phlegmatic delivery-every bit as bad as the trailers led us to fear. And the only thing flatter than that, is her unattractive rear end. The audience is left with very little to like, and all of that provided by supporting charcters. Save yourself the cost of a ticket and two very tedious hours of your life-and pray Captain Marvel isn’t allowed to entirely ruin Endgame.… Expand

I have heard that that main actress of this film has no interested in the opinions of my kind, but ill give it anyway.. This was easily the worst origins story there has been, Carol is very hard to like or sympathize with as she apparently is just perfect and unstoppable, giving the character nothing for the viewer to relate to on a human level. Basically the whole movie is a paint by numbers, cookie cutter action hero film, drenched with ideological politics, designed to indoctrinate young girls into a culture of men hate and excess self importance (modern day feminism) it dosent make for a good film and its the first step in the end of the MCU. Oh But the cat was OK, it a cat! they needed something likable in the film. Its a shame because after Brie Larson last few films I was becoming a huge fan of hers, she was the best part in 21 jump Street and Room was just an incredible film that sticks with me to this day..

Brie Larson's leading performance as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel was stupendous she was funny, serious, and awesome. Samuel L.

The visual effects were spectacularly incredible especially the de-aging of Samuel L.

The makeup and hair styling was terrific especially on the Skrulls. The costume designs were amazing especially Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel's.

Brie's acting, while inconsistent in some areas, was great overall. Samuel L Jackson was memorable in his role, and an excellent anchor for the film. The other actors and actresses were generally good. Also, a poignant moment was a great tribute to Stan Lee.

Captain Marvel is a film that has a lot going for it. Being the first Marvel movie of 2019, and the last movie in the lead up to Avengers: Endgame. So I'm gonna start with the good stuff first. The soundtrack is really good, the more techno aspect of it reminds me of Thor Ragnarok, but really scaled back. The CGI is pretty good throughout most of the film, especially Samuel L Jackson's de-aging CGI. The story is broken apart so that the film goer gets snippets of information at times, which is an interesting technique, but eventually became a bit repetitive. The Stan Lee cameo was fantastic, and a great callback too. Outstanding performances by Samuel L Jackson, and Ben Mendelsohn. Now onto the bad, the cast is a little bland at times and due to the run-time of the film there isn't really a whole lot of time for the average film goer to solidify a connection to the characters. Larson who plays Captain Marvel is really stiff at times, and isn't really all that likable, as towards the later parts of the movie she comes off as extremely cocky. On top of that the film has a lot of dry humor, however they don’t give the time needed for most of the laughs to land, literally a second or two more would’ve been enough. In the end, Captain Marvel is a decent flick, it has flare where it needs it and that’s it, it’s a pretty good superhero movie with a lot of minor context for the last 10 years of the MCU.… Expand
