I am really disappointed- Expected some kind of, or more of conection with Endgame Avengers. Brie Larsen it's not suitable for the role and the character of captain Marvel is very flat written. The film feels overall cheap.

I'm a big fan of Marvel movies but unfortunately this one didn't keep the bar high enough. This time I have to say that DC did the better movie with Wonder Woman. Brie Larson was also not a good a cast as Gal Gadot was for Wonder Woman. AlsoI'm a big fan of Marvel movies but unfortunately this one didn't keep the bar high enough.

Also I would probably rate the movie abit higher if Disney/Marvel would keep politics and agendas away from the movies. Sick of all the SJW in the industry today. Bring back the strong female characters like Sarah Connor (Terminator) or Ripley (Alien) those characters should be the role-models, not Brie Larson.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oof, I don't really know what to say. Very slow movie, pacing seemed very off. Brie gave a shell of a performance, she seemed very wooden. When Carol Danvers got her powers, it should have been a great moment, instead it was shallow, and boring.

If there was a saving grace, it would be Samuel Jackson. He was spot on as usual.

If you're a Marvel fan, you might like this movie, but even then, I'm not sure. It's not vital to the Marvel universe, so this is a safe skip.… Expand

I came into the movie with an open mind, but I left the movie bored. The story was weak and predictable. Compared to other Marvel movies this was one of the worst. Lighting and fight scenes need more work because they seemed flawed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're not a fan of the comics, you may end up getting lost in what is going on with this movie. The storyline does not do well in trying to explain the backstory. In fact, the plot is just...confusing anyway. If you are a comics fan, you may end up being put off by this portrayal of what the heroin should have been.
Poor plot line, bad scripting, poor portrayal, graphics that range from absolutely fantastic, to absolutely horrible. VERY weak ending. All said, the supporting cast is the ONLY thing that will carry this movie through. Their parts are well done, and literally will be all that is worth watching in this film. May go down in history as a first for Marvel. The first that didn't fly.
Overall, the movie has it's entertainment value. Will you want to see it again? I don't. Will it join your DVD collection? Not likely. Does it encourage me to go see Avengers Endgame? NOT if this Capt. Marvel is in it, I'll pass.… 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 does Nick Fury not care enough about the earth to call in for help in all the other Marvel movies? This movie creates too many plot holes in the Marvel universe.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only reason for a 1 instead of a 0 is because of the cat. Other than that, the script was horrendous and the humour was laughably bad. At first, Brie Larson/Vers/Captain Marvel seemed to be a witty and genuinely funny character with her remarks. Where did that witticism go? She was edgy and moody throughout most of the movie, so why introduce her as that?

One of the few things that made me fuming was the introduction of Mar-Vell, who was changed from a Kree minority hero to a female Kree Scientist. Why in the world was it necessary to change her origin story?

For visuals and effects, I'm glad to say that it wasn't like the rest of the movie. It was impressive and even immersive at times when Brie Larson's acting isn't getting in the way. Onto her acting: she gave Carol Danvers an undeserving bland personality. I get it, she's trying to discover herself and find out who she really is. But that shouldn't excuse the seemingly unmotivated actress to go on set and LARP. Scratch that. I know LARPers who can give her acting a run for its money.

The fight scenes were few and far in between. Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to have more narrative in a movie. However, Captain Marvel is the "strongest superhero" in the MCU. They should do her character justice by showing off her strength more instead of at a few Skrulls and an AI.

Final point: Lack of a real villain. No, it's not the Skrulls (not until the Secret Invasion at least), not Ronan, not even the Kree in this movie. Herself? Maybe. But what was the point of her fighting all of these people/aliens? My conclusive opinion of this movie is a big, fat, 1. For a Marvel movie, I had high hopes they would do Captain Marvel's questionable comic book existence justice by having a lead that was at least motivated to play the part. Her acting was poor and her push for female empowerment on an international holiday such as today did not come through. Wonder Woman did it right. Why couldn't Marvel at least do the same?… Expand

Didn't want to believe the negative press but, turns out it was 100% accurate. Nothing to do with Brie Larson or feminism though, it's just a boring movie. Over-powered characters rarely do well because they are REALLY hard to write for. "Punch, wham blast" stories just devolve into a tedious litany of increasingly daft action scenes which lift you out of the experience. Larson obviously made a conscious effort to express her character as someone on the autism spectrum which I don't think works here; needed a lighter touch. When a character is so powerful, it's important to project vulnerability (think Clark Kent in the context of the first Superman movie) and Larson's Marvel is just too "perfect". Hard to empathise with someone so one-dimensional and this comic character desperately needs empathy to stop her just being boring.

It's an okay "popcorn movie". I probably wouldn't change the channel if it was on TV but I won't buy the DVD/Google Play copy for this one.… Expand

Brie Larson was miscast as she brings nothing to the character and was very wooden and un-likeable. The character of Captain Marvel has no complexity or depth, she has no flaws, no weaknesses and is supposedly stronger than anyone else in the MCU, so doesn't have any character progression or anything to overcome, making her bland an nothing about her relate-able that you can get behind or route for, and frankly one dimensional and boring. Did Marvel suddenly forget all the things that makes a character great, and interesting? Overall a very boring and uninteresting film that seems rushed and shoe horned into the MCU, and the first uninteresting and pointless character added to the roster. Sam Jackson was great, but even he couldn't save this movie. Totally unnecessary film, I'd skip this one as its just not worth it.… Expand

Captain Marvel was not the worst Marvel film to date, but it is bottom 10. For me it is #5 for the bottom 5, however I can see a few movies that it could be tied with, so safe to say it is bottom 10. Brie Larson may very well be an OscarCaptain Marvel was not the worst Marvel film to date, but it is bottom 10. For me it is #5 for the bottom 5, however I can see a few movies that it could be tied with, so safe to say it is bottom 10. Brie Larson may very well be an Oscar award winning actress, but she did not get it in comedy or action, and it shows. Her presentation of the character seems uncomfortable, like she isn't sure how to act the part. She presents Captain Marvel as very one dimensional, and this is in part due to the writing as well, so it is not all on her. However, her delivery of lines is bland, her jokes are dry and seem forced for her. Some were funny, but most didn't feel right. There were some cringe worthy moments in the film, even with the interactions between her and Samuel L. Jackson. Like they are almost forcing the concept that they get along. It took you out of the movie a few times. Because Brie Larson highly politicized this movie, the political moments stand out more to me because I was aware of it. I think if she hadn't been so political with it, these political moments wouldn't have stood out as more, but there were definitely at least a half a dozen hard eye-roll moments that felt completely unnecessary. The action itself was good, but anti-climactic. The big breakout moments for Captain Marvel were underwhelming and didn't quite get you in the feels. There was one moment near the end that could have been a large character development for her, and they may the decision to not act upon it so they can deliver another politically charged concept. However, I understand if they went the different route, that it may not make sense in as far as the character development didn't allow for it. You decide, but you'll know when you see it. She had two choices, and I think the other would have been better and made me cheer for her. The music is good, but sometimes out of place, and the 90s nostalgia isn't over the top. The writing really changes the source material and is disrespectful to the original characters with their changes. The first end credits scene is also a letdown when you see it. It is almost disrespectful to Marvel comics and the Avengers as well. You can guarantee that we will see it mentioned in Endgame as well.

The created some continuity issues as well with Captain America being the first Avenger, as he is called, set in the 40s and this film, as you will see in the end credits scene. As well as minor ones with Agent Coulson and SHIELD in this movie versus him and SHIELD in the first Iron man film which is set after this film. Again, I put it on the lazy writing but also Marvel studios for not catching these things which they have done so well on continuity with their other 20 films.

You won't be wasting your m
oney seeing it in the theatres, but you also wouldn't be missing out if you waited to watch it another way.

Finally, there is a twist in the film that when it happens, (and if you know marvel comics and their next big cross-over event), it will confuse you on how they will justify the next big "Avengers 4".

Unfortunately Brie Larson did not embody the hero in this film. Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark, Chris Evans IS Captain America, Chris Hemsworth IS Thor, Benedict Cumberbatch IS Dr. Strange...Brie Larson does not necessarily have to be Captain Marvel and would probably serve the character better if she was recast.… Expand

RemovingThe movie has bad pacing, bad acting (from the lead) if they removed Brie Larson from the film an maybe gotten Yvonne Strahovski who could show emotions an not be so stiff and ridged. Then maybe this movie would have been better. Removing everything from the press tour this movie fails to deliver what it was suppose to. A action packed hero. It doesn't help that Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) has no real origin story to set up a awesome hero. She just gets power without doing any real character development at all. She is the same person before powers as she is with them. It doesn't show she is really willing to do anything for anyone. She is a clear definition of a Mary Sue. If she is going to lead the MCU in the future they might as well just stop making movies an take a few years off to work on some animated movies or work on the comics that are failing to show a profit, like Captain Marvels failed launches.

Over all the few things this movie does right is overshadowed by everything it tried an failed to show in the movie and also what led up to it. I would like to rate it higher as I might deserve a higher score for trying I think it needs to be said that this is not a movie that should have been made before End Game.

Still worse were the highly predictable plot points and dialogue... though I was surprised (and disappointed) of their torpedoing of future Skrull story lines... all in all a disappointment despite a few smirk inducing jokes that were probably improvised by Jackson.

Brie Larson was horribly miscast. From past films, she can obviously act, but gives little evidence of it here with her wooden, charisma-free performance. She keeps the same one-note expression throughout most of the film, whatever is happening to her.

Captain Marvel has no personality, character arc or growth as a person. She never really seemed to be in peril, which meant there was no tension or excitement in the movie and I never identified with her at any point.

The story is corny, the script is poor,(with a not-so subtle feminist agenda), some of the fight scenes are choppily edited and the special FX look cheap. Oh and the much-vaunted cat is a mere gimmick.

Several things are clumsily retconned to shoehorn this character into the MCU mythology. These revelations make no sense and leave the mythos all the poorer for it.

I gave it credit for the supporting cast, especially Samuel L Jackson who is as good as ever (despite the film absolutely ruining his character) and for some of the jokes.

Still, this is one of the worst, if not THE worst MCU film. If Captain Marvel is going to be the face of the MCU going forward, I may not bother with their films after Endgame.
