Rotten Tomatoes won't let me post a review, let's see if I can post it in here:

Brie Larson is a skilled actress, regardless of her man-hating rants and her recent diving into the gender-wars. So when an Oscar winner gets out-staged by a cat and by CGI effects, you know you can blame the director and the script. If you watch Room and you watch Scott Pilgrim, you'll realize she has an unbelievable range. Actually, let me remind you that the song she plays in Scott Pilgrim she sang it herself, and did the musical arrangement with her band. So there's no reason for her to play an emotionless character (unless the director tells her to)

So, basically blame this train wreck on political pandering. I've liked Carol Danvers for a long time, and both her and the Legacy Avengers actors deserve better than this. Here's hoping this doesn't nuke Endgame.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First one third is ... watchable and somewhat engaging. Latter two thirds drags on and has a muddled and forced mess of unsubtle inconsequential phoned in plot points. I thought the rest of it just dragged. Attempted life support from the cast other than Larson really couldn't fix things. How it defines critical points in the universe breaks what was good about the MCU like the Avenger name and Nick Fury's lost eye. The blame isn't on Brie though. The writing itself is lackluster and forced.… Expand

More than anything else, the movie is boring. I found myself falling asleep during the auction scenes. Brie seems to agree with me since she plays this as someone who has no investment in the character whatsoever.

Captain Marvel is a humorless slog, with a miscast lead who had to be carried by the supporting cast in every scene. For no good reason, severe retcon's ruin the MCU timeline and future possibilities.

The Movie has no Style, no Quality and very boring tone, as the color filter is dull and murky, every scene is so uninteresting to watch, i think i do get that the is the MCU's Green Lantern, as the both have the same problems, except Green Lantern is Horrendous, the movie's direction is somehow mishmashed with plots, like her identity crisis and the skrull hunting, which it doesn't know where it'll end up, i liked the fish out of water element and the body cop vibe in the movie, but not enough, the acting is fine except for Brie Larson, and the dramatic and emotional parts of the movie really didn't add up to the essence of the movie, as the cause of underdeveloped elements is very present and so those scenes is just meh' to watch and sometime it felt forced giving the character's relationship unnatural and not that interesting, there are some good action sequence but mostly are forgettable, the Action Choreography tho is not that Good, its like the same action sequence would have in the late 2000s movie, the Movie's Visual Effects and CGI is fine, not bad and not great, its just yet Bland.

The Title Character is wooden, bland and unrelatable, like Rey in the New Star Wars Movies, her being overpowered and the strong female character persona is the worst part of her character, because of that she's emotionless, wooden & boring to watch.

The Movie's Plot is predictable and nothing new, it maybe a good movie if it is done right.

The Supporting Characters is i'd say the only good thing in the movie, of course Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg, Jude Law is somehow entertaining to watch, and Ben Mendelsohn is fantastic, he is more interesting, entertaining to watch and gave one hell of a Performance, he's character is far more better than the title character, as this should have been a Skrull Movie instead, there are characters that should have been lefted out like her co-pilot which is the 2nd most uninteresting character in the movie, as her character is only shown through flashbacks and underdeveloped.

ALL IN ALL THE MOVIE IS BORING, BLAND & GENERIC… Expand

The film is mediocre at best. The main character Capt. Marvel comes across as one dimensional with little emotional range and not a particularly likable. The first half of this film felt like a made for "TV" or direct to streaming movie. The second half was better with solid CGI action. One problem is that this superhero depiction was very over-powered. As such I was not very invested in the story as nothing was at stake for the character. Also the character had no internal conflicts or realistic seeming obstacles to overcome and really any weaknesses whatsoever. The result was a meh overall experience watching this in the theater. TLDR: Do not recommend, or wait for it to stream for free.… Expand

And i was not going to review this movie, but after a recent timcast youtube video decided to. He didn't like the eye story, but i did. This was one of the few stories i liked. Overall just about 30% of the movie is really interesting. I never heard about Brie Larson before she opened her mouth during the marketing campaign. Well, she better keeped it closed. She is too flat as an actor. And whoever did the operator work in this movie must be fired because they showed her short and curved leggs in whole glory. Look what they did with iron man. He looks there a lot better than in real life. The story is flat, too. The story in this kind of movies should be simple, but not flat. Final battle is the worst battle in the marvel universe. I hated the last battle in the civil war, but because of completely different reasons. She is too powerfull. Avengers can easily go home and rest in peace. The last bits of awful script almost killed me. She said she had nothing to proove. looks like females just need to have a golden v and everything else is put before their knees. Why than men need always to proove that they are worthy? Or maybe nobody need to proove anything? Whats the message, bro? I don't think this movie empowering females. Really. I think this is a very bad movie for females as any Disney fairy tale. It looks like that females can do nothing and have everything just because they exist. This is a very bad message for a kid. Hated by a lot of people, the first Ant man movie, in my opinion, was 20% better.… Expand

What didn't work was there was NO character progression, tired sexism memes, and you never felt attached to the character. Samuel L Jackson and the Cat did well. There was good splashy special effects you come to expect from Marvel, however there was none of the resonance with the character that you felt watching almost any of the other Marvel movies.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having never heard of Captain Marvel aside from the original Shazam TV show, I went into CM with an open mind. I’ve been a loyal Marvel comic collector since I can remember. Other film incarnations from the Marvel universe have had their idiosyncrasies yet were still enjoyable overall. The acting of the lead playing “Captain Marvel” was lifeless. I’m not sure why the director/writers weren’t able to reach her. Encourage somehow her to demonstrate some semblance of a personality? It’s not like she was playing a Terminator! I was happy to see Stan Lee’s last cameo appearance as it was worth at least half a point to see him. I don’t want to spoil it for those who have not seen it but the way Nick Fury loses his eye is not believable whatsoever. I could not wait to escape the theater. Even the people I was with that wanted to see it finally admitted that it sucked. (Mainly because of the Captain Marvel character’s WHACK-TING) I really hope that Disney leaves Captain Marvel out of any future storylines as it is a detour from Marvel Comic’s future potential greatness. If you must see this movie because somebody in your life is blackmailing you, or you lose a bet or something, make sure you procure a designated driver. Watch it with beer goggles it will soften the blow. The other half a point am generously donating to this review is for the drinks they served at the theater. Unrelated I know, but the alcohol made me do it. Every time you hear “I got this” you’ve got to take a “shot this”… Expand

A hero impossible for any mere human to relate to. Tony Stark, Thor, Dr. Strange had to struggle with ego or had to be humbled but battled through it. Scarlet Witch had to see the error of her ways that revenge was not the solution. These "heroes" became larger than life because they inspire us to better OURSELVES and not to overpower other people. This movie doesn't benefit the story that took 10 years to make and I certainly think that MCU didn't just took 10 years laying the groundwork and foundation just to put this new character above all the other characters that has earned our respect through all this time.… Expand

Uneven direction, Jude Law mails in a mediocre performance...and Brie Larson is playing herself while giving 3 different performances in the movie. Her character is bland, and uninspiring (unlike DC's WW)...she's basically a Mary Sue in the 3rd act of the film where the action is right down comical. Not so subtle digs at political and social commentaries sprinkled within the film makes it a first for the MCU and not something viewers should want to see. What gives her the full power...taking off the "chains of the patriarchy" you see...oh those evil men who kept telling Carol what she can or can't do. Ben Mendelson is good as always. Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury is emasculated to lift up Monica and Carol throughout the film. He's basically a side kick that's there to provide humor and is nothing like the Nick Fury the MCU has established before in many films.

Special Effects are subpar for an MCU film.

Overall this is no better than a 3 or 4 out of 10. A very unnecessary film, shoehorning Capt Marvel in the MCU and establishing her as the "most powerful" character b/c hey...Marvel doesn't have a WW and have to compete with DC.… Expand

Until now, the MCU has produced success, film after film after film. Even the films that were poorly received, like Incredible Hulk, Thor Dark World, Iron 2, were actually pretty decent. But, to produce a movie that reads like a Gail Simone Marvel Comic spouting social justice, feminism and trying to lecture me that I'm what's wrong with the world? If I wanted a lecture, I wouldn't pay to go see a movie on it, I'd listen to a lecture from my family.

Captain Marvel shows that whoever wrote and directed this travesty knows nothing about Marvel Comics and the character of Captain Marvel. The character was originally a male superhero, then the character was reinvented as a person of color, now, she's a crusty white woman who wants to lecture the audience.

What pissed me off was that movie depicts Skrulls *NOT* as an alien race bent on dominating the human race but rather they are "illegal immigrants". WTF!!!! Depicting the Skrulls as this way proves that the movie is no more than a two hour propoganda movie for feminism, social justice and antifa.

Only thing that Marvel Studios did was waste two hours of my time and scammed me out of the $5 I paid to see this crap. The movie was simply yawn inducing, boring and unimaginative. Next time? Make an MCU movie that doesn't scream social justice. If this is the future of the MCU, then I'm getting off this ride right now.… Expand

Looking at this movie objectively, I can easily say it's not a terrible movie but also not a great movie either.

The effects where average and excelled at making Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury look amazing. Sadly, Brie Larson as CaptainLooking at this movie objectively, I can easily say it's not a terrible movie but also not a great movie either.

The effects where average and excelled at making Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury look amazing. Sadly, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel gave an average to underwhelming performance leaving a dull impression. It was clear she didn't have the ability to carry the movie on her own and needed supporting actors to even make it work.

Unfortunately the story didn't adhere to the pre-established lore in the comics and in fact dangerously deviates and changes one of the best villain races in the MCU. And ends up leaving Ronan the Accuser probably one the cool'est villains in Marvel Movies thus far, feels underused and improperly implemented story wise.

If you were hoping for a great answer to the anticipated question as to how Nick Fury lost his eye. Sadly it's probably the most disappointing aspect of the movie with little to no imagination in the execution.

All said and done, due to the points stated as well as poor writing and directing. Also considering the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe this movie is slightly below average and a generally forgettable but somewhat enjoyable film.… Expand

The movie drowned itself in GIRL POWER YEAH!~gender politics so much that it divests CarolI went in to this movie CONVINCED that all the pre-release political agenda fears people had about it were unfounded. I was wrong. They were right. The movie drowned itself in GIRL POWER YEAH!~gender politics so much that it divests Carol Danvers of any depth and dilutes the storyline, along with Ronin..

SPOILERS AHEAD: 1) The movie was too fearful to give Brie any real flaws. She was damn near perfect and infallible. That made her bland. And it was bcuz they were scared of making a woman look weak or flawed.

2) There is a scene where all these “evil white men” were telling her how she can’t do something or that “she’s just a girl.” Really? That’s weak writing. Forced demonization of men to prop up a weak female character. If you have to disparage one group to prop up another, then that other group is probably not very strong. 3) There is a cringey scene of FORCED male chauvinist remarks like that douchey male pilot saying to his female compatriot, “you do know why we call it the cockpit right haha”

OMG RAPE CULTURE U GUYZ!!! 4) The guy in leather jacket and motorcycle saying, "HEY BABY WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME A SMILE"

Who talks like that!! So forced. So much rape culture you guys!

5) The Skrulls were clearly a forced allegory for immigration issues rolls eyes

6) Ronin the Accuser was a total badass in GOTG. One of the best villains and most menacing. In Captain Marvel, he is completely ruined with one gesture from CM. Carol smacks her fist into her palm and some energy beams, which makes Ronin, one of the greatest and most daunting villains in Marvel's cinematic history, ran away with his tail between his legs. We get it. Carol is powerful. No need to ruin a great villain to beat that dead horse. 7) The movie deliberately refrained from mentioning that CM got her name from....a man. That's right. They GENDER SWAPPED the character of Mar-Vell so that CM didn't have to get her name from a man like in the comics...

Carol is not my favorite hero, but I've bought some comic runs and tend to like her. Then I heard the final casting choice. "Wth are you thinking, Marvel?" was my reaction. "Could they not put a wig on a wooden board, cuz thats the amount of talent she's got." And now the movie arrives, she's made some, ahem, unfortunate comments, but I still go to see it. I don't want to say it's a disaster, because it's not the worst MCU movie, but it's definitely not the best and anyone who says so is lying for some weird reason of their own. Brie gives a flat performance, because that's what she does. She's emotionless and dull. On the other hand, the script is a wandering mess that doesn't know what it wants to be or where it wants to go. Toss in some horrible missteps that are the opposite of source material. Mar-vell is not a woman and has never been. To randomly make him a female background character is a total travesty and a slap in the face of long time fans. Finally, we have great performances by Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg, Jude Law and the woman who played Monica Rambeau. But the movie has no clear villain. I expected Secret Invasion, but got some weird... I don't know what I got, but it wasn't good. Not a Marvel movie I will own or watch repeatedly and I've worn out several of them. (I've bought Captain America, Thor and Avengers all several times because I've watched them enough to wear out a disc) I might watch this one from time to time on a streaming channel (Disney +??) but honestly, bad writing aside, brie Larson was horribly miscast and marvel should have known better. Katherine Winnick would have been an amazing choice.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wanted to love this movie but was disappointed. The story was weak and the direction was horrible. It would have been better without the random memory puzzle to show the backstory. I would have preferred they start with her origin and work chronologically but we get a poorly edited mess showing her memories from Earth. These memories are a simply a vessel to clumsily make her seem a victim but none of that is relevant to the story. By the time they get around to telling the real story, you don't even care about her. I never left during the whole movie yet constantly felt like I missed some major pieces of information to explain what was happening. Either they edited out important scenes to make room for boring coffee break chats or they chose a poor writer and director. Larson acted with the range of a brick. Not once in the entire movie do you feel she is in jeopardy. Apparently she never had a family and only one dull pilot friend that somehow gets screen time but serves no purpose in the story. The actor playing the main skrull is the best part of the movie. SMJ is okay but he doesn't seem at all like the Fury character in any other MCU movies. It's like the writer had never seen any other MCU movies. He was good but his personality was inexplicable. I pray they don't make CM the main character in Endgame. With the way they powered her it would be a 10 minute movie ending in a 3 second battle.… Expand

Sitting aside the political rhetoric that was involved in the marketing and later in the movie itself, the film had a host of other problems. The writing was mediocre, which is a shame considering the movie's high-profile, competent supporting cast; the fight scenes were not very well shot, with odd camera angles and poor lightning for most of them; and Brie Larson's performance felt rigid and stale. The story also seemed uninspired, with Captain Marvel's motivations not being explained or shown at all, due to this, you really do not know how Captain Marvel's character developed during the film, which my guess is that she did not.

El primer error es la fecha de salida, muy innecesario que salga después de Infinity War y es hasta molesto. Segundo, los personajes son bastante malos: ella está bastante bien pero los otros? Si bien me gusta un Fury cómico y jóven, quisiera haber visto en la peli como se convierte en el profesional malhumorado que conocemos y eso claramente no pasa. Coulson se roba todas las escenas obviamente, la amiga de Carol es un buen personaje pero en mi opinión uno muy innecesario cuyo tiempo se lo hubiera destinado a la doctora, quien es el peor personaje de todos: su historia es casi nula y sus motivos nunca son explicados sin mencionar la posesión del artefacto que no se explica como llego a ella. Los villanos muy olvidables como casi siempre y la aparición de Ronan es una muy mala decisión. Los efectos especiales están bien y la banda sonora ya me lo olvide.

The Captain Marvel character isn't that interesting, and Brie Larson's portrayal falls flat. She's good in dramatic movies, but can't carry an action movie. Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, and a cat (I kid you not!) help keep this movie interesting. Some of the CGI is bad, and a lot of the action scenes, as rare as they were, had such quick editing and close-ups that you had no idea what was going on. There was also a lot of use of shaky cam. It's 2019, why are directors still using gimmicks like shaky cam? Some of the 90s nostalgia was interesting, until they kept hitting you over the head with it. Yes, we know it's set in the 90s, we don't have to get reminded of that. This is one of the weakest movie of the MCU so far. The reviews are fairly accurate. I'd rate it between Edward Norton's Hulk and Ant-Man and The Wasp. I only went to see this movie because I thought I'd need to know about the Captain Marvel character in time for Avengers: Endgame. But you actually don't need to see this movie, just Wiki her character and powers, and you're ready for Endgame. Now I owe my friend a nice steak dinner, he had recommended that we go see Alita: Battle Angel instead.

Alas, it was neither a good film in its own right, nor was it a good addition to the MCU, which is unfortunate to say the least. The acting was bland, Larson, in my view, having been badly miscast, with many people saying that Emily Blunt could have made a better Captain Marvel. The story was the definition of a superhero blueprint. Goose and Jackson were probably my favorite things about this movie, which says a lot. Then, there is the issue of the existence of this film in the first place - if they really wanted a 'strong female lead' (with which, as a woman, I already have an issue), they should have filmed a Scarlet Witch, or even better, a Black Widow origin story... Cap Marvel is an obscure and rather disliked character (as can be seen by the number of time her runs were cancelled) who does not deserve to sweep in and save the day in Endgame. I will be deeply hurt and disappointed if this will be the case - an overpowered nobody, who was never a part of the original well-loved team, to play as a sort of 'deus ex machina' in the final movie. The marketing for the movie did not help either, but this is a review of the movie, and not the scum tactics employed by the advertisers. Hence, as much as it saddens me, I cannot in good conscience give this movie more than a 3, due to its lack of originality, bad casting, underwhelming script (seeing as the writers have done well in the indie film department prior to the making of this movie), as well as the late introduction of a new character (into the cinematic universe, that is - I am well aware of the role played by Cap M. in the comics) into a beloved series.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not gonna lie. Not a fan. I hoped this would be a lot better than it was. It let me down. It was pretty mid, tbh. Fury, the Cat, the VFX and Talos ended up being the good bits. Seriously more trash than I expected and I was already let down with the direction they were going from creator/director comments but I still gave it a try.

How are you gonna have your main character be so OP without real reason or sense of scaling and then have little to no actual reason for the audience to care about her? I mean, come on.

Plus, what the hell was up with that girl song during the fight scene? Did something go wrong with audio mixing in post? Did you hire someone from a Netflix show to handle that bit or something? It was just jarring.

Also, girl power is one thing but there's no point in making the agenda so blatant that it harms the character. Oh, I fail at things, sure, but I need a man to tell me I can't do them before I work up the motivation to do anything?

Also, the cat and Fury's eye? Are you joking with me right now? Her Air Force call sign being Avenger instead of Cheeseburger? Fury not calling her for two end of the world events he had prior warning on but could pull it out seconds before the snap?

Not to mention rewriting Mar-Vell as an old woman and then not even making that woman a hero? Making Monica a little girl that looks up to Carol? Are you joking right now, Marvel?

What is this actual trash that you're feeding us?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie **** on comic book fans like me. Time and time again they use us to build something, and then use that influence to **** on us with this feminist garbage.

After Talos captures Vers, in the flashback scenes, it was made clear that this is a feminist garbage propaganda. All the males in her life trying to keep her down... this is the message... to not let her even try, even though it is clear that she is failing again and again, when she is hurting herself while crashing a cart, when she is failing in the military training because her body is weak etc etc. These scenes and others are put there purposefully, not to give us the backstory of this character, but to set us up for the garbage low IQ feminist propaganda that they will push in the later parts of the movie. And the fact is, that its not the feminist message in itself, but that it is done in an unintelligent manner, very low IQ, very rude I would say. It was like those scenes were written by a teenager who can't give them depth, or complexity for that matter. It feels cold, unempathetic.

Another big aspect where the feminist garbage propaganda comes out is in the multiple scenes where the character doesn't obey to the direct orders from her superiors. The thing again is not the disobeying, because Captain America does that too, frequently.... The thing is that in the Captain Marvel movie there is no backstory, no real motivation for doing that. (Capt America, on the other hand, has a very well explained reason and philosophy for going against the orders.) We should just take it for granted, that the character feels that way... and swallow it because she is empowering herself. End of discussion. Feels stupid. And the audience is left with the impression that she is just arrogant.

This same aura of cockiness and arrogance follows the character during all the movie, and especially during her time with Furry.

Some might argue that the actress is bad, and cant deliver the role well. Well I agree.For example the scene with the security guard after she lands on Earth, just falls flat. It is supposed to be a funny scene, but in my modest opinion, it just falls flat.

But the biggest issue I have with this movie, is how they explained the "Avengers initiative" name. My blood boiled in that moment. I will never accept it. ****ing this way on the First Avenger is unforgivable. Captain America is an icon. Captain Marvel just a feminist tryhard garbage that is being pushed hard and fails again and again.

The only thing that saves the movie is its budget ( nice effects and fight scenes) and the fact that it is set in the larger Marvel cinematic universe… Expand

Wish this was a Black Widow or Scarlet Witch movie, both actresses are awesome and give great performances, which is why they both earned their own movies.… Expand

The worst MCU movie yet. Bad cgi at times. Weak lead role. Rather underwhelming fight scenes for a Marvel movie.

The way Nick Fury loses his eye is a WTF moment! Like WTF were they thinking there? The script is atrocious. Bad movie.… Expand

Unlike Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman whose character is expressive, caring, and inspiring, Brie Larson’s character is lifeless, seems to care only about how empowered she can show she is by not showing any emotion, and not only is not inspiring… but frankly is almost impossible to like. Often a character in a film will start out in a place where he/she is not perfect, but goes through a process of learning, experience, and development where by the end of the story they are a much wholer character. This is the human experience. And this is why we root for them, embrace them, and why we end up caring about them. Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel travels a straight-line character arch. As far as development she ends up exactly in the same place she started.
After viewing this I do need to see something inspiring for International Women’s Day.
I’m going to re-watch Wonder Woman tonight at home.… Expand

Bland acting and story. Where was this character when NY was under attack? If she is supposed to be the most powerful of the Marvel universe. The only redeeming part was the 90s nostalgia and the cat. I regret spending money to see this.

The movie itself is very as generic. Samuel L. Jackson was one of the few shining lights for me, but couldn't save the movie its poor script, lackluster action and a badly cast leading lady.

Way too political for my tastes and not like the other MCU movies. Seemed like feminist propaganda, rather than entertainment. The acting was horrible and the one Nick Fury scene was so stupid.

Movie felt like a Marvel cash grab. I loved the supporting cast in this movie, especially Sam Jackson. The best parts of this movie had either Sam Jackson or Goose in it.

The best parts of this movie had either Sam Jackson or Goose in it. Sadly the real reason this movie was not good was Brie Larson's acting. Never did I once feel she was a superhero, whenever she talked or tried to act it felt very wooden. Plus the departure from the source material I feel really hurt the over all fun in the movie. So to sum it up: supporting cast great, Sam Jackson great, Goose great, Brie Larson acting bad, departure from source material bad.… Expand

Similar plot to Green Lantern, but with zero character development and somehow even less interesting powers

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Strengths: Supporting Cast even if one dimensional, CGI, Short Run Time.

Weaknesses: Lead character, tired out tropes, and scattered and unfocused story.

This movie I tried to come in with a blank slate ignoring everything surrounding it. it goes for a phase 1 origin story coming off more as an Incredible hulk rather than Iron Man. As 80s nostalgia gives way to the 90s it does a great summary of all that makes. But like a blender mixing every ingredient it stuff in it all boils down to a bland liquid. The supporting cast does there best with what they are given, however it's script doesn't allow any to escape their niche. As marvel is on a time table for their phase 4 there is not many opportunities for them to second guess their choices. However I do want to make a recommendation that its sister studio Lucasfilm did "Slow Down". Take the time to make a good product, you have been running strong for 10 years and you need to pace it now. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Also the mystique of certain characters should not be explained if you cannot come up with a satisfying answer. For awhile most thought Nick Fury lost sight in his eye due to something Robert Redford's character in Winter Soldier. Nope it had to be the cat.

This is my 4th attempt to post my review. The previous attempts were on RT/Flixster.… Expand

The beginning of the box was okay, but as the movie dragged on it became worthless.

Congratulations Disney has done it again..Disney has managed to mangle Marvel Comics " Captain Marvel " I have never checked my watch during a Marvel Movie. But last night during this stinker of a movie, I checked my watch so many timesCongratulations Disney has done it again..Disney has managed to mangle Marvel Comics " Captain Marvel " I have never checked my watch during a Marvel Movie. But last night during this stinker of a movie, I checked my watch so many times during the movie, I lost count. If you like bad acting, Estrogen filled characters and story-lines so much so, it literally hits you in the face with it...you will love this movie. Seriously,all the men in this movie were either incompetent, evil, bad,mean, weak,stupid,and for some odd reason only women were capable of flying aircraft in this movie. Who ever picked Brie Larson for the lead role in this movie should be fired..her acting skills were terrible.. It was so bad it reminded of a low budget "b" movie. Save yourself some cash and wait for this one to come out on regular TV cable. Oh and by the way do not take your little kids to see this movie..It will totally screw them up..Wish I had my money back..… Expand
