This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rotten Tomatoes DELETED my earlier review so I thought I'd write it on a legitimate movie review site instead to get the message out there. Thank you Metacritic for not bending backwards to these people. REVIEW ---

The Good -90's era as I am a 90's kid
-Good soundtrack
-Effects The Bad

-Actress is miscast
-No emotional rewards
-Disrespectful to MCU

The Outcome

The cons outweigh the pros, honestly... I went in with an open mind. But now? Seriously? I am very worried about Endgame. I went from super excited to anxiety mode after watching this. I don't know the business decision was to show such a last minute shoehorn right before the big Finale was but it's not looking good. I will say if Captain Marvel takes down Thanos? I think we will have a real civil war out in the streets!

First off... Nick Fury. My God... character ruined. Scratched by a cat!? That goofy acting? Almost like a completely new character. Honestly, they ruined his character here. He is a joke character basically. Secondly... Carol Danvers. What in holy hell...? Here's how it is. No memory? Ok. Acts wooden. Understandable. After memories? STILL THE SAME WOOD! Horribly miscast she acts like she doesn't want to be there, lines are delivered as if... Terminator's T-1000 seriously has more emotion delivered and that's saying something. BOR-ING and I don't mean to be harsh to the actress, but... no connection. Captain Marvel has zero personality and it's sad. First MCU movie IMO where character development is non-existent. Thirdly, this is just... weird. Skrulls. They are treated... as illegal aliens. As REFUGEES. This movie is PLAGUED with propaganda and I tried to push all of that crap OUT but it's there and it's literally shoved down your throat. And when while you're choking on it, they cram it down harder and shove MORE down your throat. It didn't feel like a movie more like a documentary or something you'd show children but use colorful characters to explain about gender, race, borders etc. it had me rolling my eyes so much I now have involuntary eye spasms. Music, as I said was great - HOWEVER... they managed to messed that up too. One particular fight scene plays I'm just a girl. So out of place, so confusing, so cringe worthy and misguided here. We get it, she's a woman. Big deal? It's amazing they green light this movie right before the big finale, and CM is supposed to be the new face of MCU? And the savior in Endgame? Oh man, I've never went from... Super excited and pumped to extremely worried in such a short time. I went from Day 1 Endgame to.. wait and see what others are saying if CM doesn't ruin it, then I'll go. Marvel let me down. I feel, not angry, but sad.

It's literally depressing how things are shaping up to be, if this is an indication of the future, after Endgame I want no part of it.

2/10 GOOD - Score, CG Effects

BAD - Brie miscasted, Disrespects the MCU and its fans, Overload Propaganda messaging.… Expand

Not sure why women needs to be empowered by every TV/movie these day, unless they are just that weak. This movie is boring and the first part isn't terrible but just less boring. Parts of it make no sense and then the feminist take over completely so they can over power men and blame them for everything. I wonder if these over paid actors think normal people believe this mess. Women leads are find and dandy. but this never ending agenda that has taken over movies/tv is ignorant. So, this isn't a good movie and is ruined by feminist agenda. I hope all the manginas and feminist are happy. They are too busy blaming men for their problems, but use technology made by men to do so. I have no plans on giving these people my money and good luck with your agenda in your own little heads, while the rest of the people live in the real world. By the way, when skinny weak arm women slap and knock men down, it looks just as dumb as your agenda.… Expand

For context: the film was released amid a flurry of bad press and bad predictions as a result of Brie Larsen's disgusting statements. Following this there's been a flurry of press to cover it up and cast negative reviews in a bad light, referring to them as "trolls" to justify mass removals. This is nothing short of Orwellian. Brie performed as blandly as expected and seems more fit for a role on a CW show, not a lead actress role in a Marvel hero film. It's truly a disgrace. Of all the competent talent, this slow-paced self-aggrandizing product is what Marvel churned out. This is a sad day for Marvel fans.… Expand

If you Love Marvel then just pretend this movie doesn't exists. Brie Larson is Racist, Sexist, Ignorant & narcissist. She hates white males. I would rather have a good movie than SJW Bull-Sh*t, I mean why ruin a movie for SJW. This movie was less like Captain Marvel and more like Captain MEH-WELL. This movie has kinda bad script/story telling. If we compare her with wonder woman on scale of 1 to 10 then Wonder woman is 10 and captain marvel is 3, with respect to her acting, looks and story. Instead of Brie Larson they should have casted someone else for this character like Charlize Theron or Kate Beckinsale or Anne Hathaway or any hot actress, Just by casting hot actress alone would have made this movie great, Brie Larson has got no curves, she looks like piece of sh!t without expressions. I am not saying it's worst movie ever made in Hollywood but it's worst MCU movie, although this movie has its own moments. She didn't earned her powers, she got it for free. Also Brie Larson is Men hater, and her personal views aside she did really bad acting in the movie. And as Kevin Feige said she is the most powerful superhero in MCU.. Trust me this movie has no evidence to support that argument. I see Thor, Doctor Strange & Scarlett Witch easily defeat her. As all of them seem more powerful than her. Doctor Strange will teleport her somewhere far. And Thor will teleport himself if needed but I think he can fight her because he could easily withstand force of entire star in infinity war and he could take the attack of all 6 infinity stones and still nothing happened to him. And Scarlett Witch can easily fight with her neck to neck without falling apart. Lastly I would say Dear Marvel, What in the name of SJW have you done. We must sign petition for recasting. We need hotter actress instead of this Expression-less Brie Larson, So if we get bored with the movie then we can at least watch the actress. 1st 10 years were great under Captain America, Next 10 years with lead role of Captain Marvel... Not a fu*king chance... At least give us hotter actress. Its Funny How Marvel can fire James Gunn and keep Brie Larson. Captain Marvel is as powerful as Thanos. Thanos killed half of all life, Brie Larson killed half of Marvels profits.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sigh...Where to begin. I really held out hope for this movie going into it, despite all the political nonsense that's been surrounding it for the last couple weeks now. I've enjoyed most of the previous MCU movies and especially enjoyed infinity war, and with hopes of hints at what's to come next, I wen't to see Captain Marvel and was completely disappointed. First off, let me address the elephant in the room, the fact that this is a self proclaimed "feminism" movie. I wen't into the movie well aware of this, and really tried to ignore it and focus on enjoying the movie itself, but it winds up being at the core of many of the movies issues. Carol Danvers is a completely uninteresting, uncompelling, inhuman (emotionally and somewhat literally) brick of a character and it seems clear this is from the directors attempt to focus on making her a strong, independent woman. It's as if they thought the only way to make an empowering female role model of a character was to make her emotionless, indestructible, without flaw, and obscenely powerful. Oh, and make sure to only explain her character through the hateful men in her life.

Yes that's right, I'm not exaggerating that list bit at all. Despite this supposedly being an origin story, it doesn't feel like that at all. Carol's entire backstory is explained exclusively through flashbacks, nearly ALL of which are focused around how stereotypical, misogynistic men treat her like **** and tell her she's worthless and incapable of doing anything. As absurd as it all is, it doesn't even feel like a backstory in the first place. She starts the movie already indestructible and incredibly more powerful than anyone else, and then at some point towards the end of the movie, if you're still paying attention to the ridiculous flashbacks, one of the flashbacks switches from their standard hateful men moments and actually tells us something useful, that being how she got her powers. Then somehow the overpowered unstoppable force figures out how to become even more obscenely powerful? ::SPOILER::

The CGI fight scenes which are visually stunning are made far less interesting knowing that literally nothing bad can happen to Carol. At one point she flies head on into a barrage of massive incoming missles meant to destroy planets, blows them up in a second, then proceeds to fly through an armada of attacking space ships, blowing them up just by crashing through them and coming out the other end completely unfazed.

::END SPOILER::

TL;DR
Ultimately, the whole thing is just an overly drawn out bore. The main character is an emotionless brick. She's so unreasonably powerful that at no point do you feel concerned for her or interested in her cause (which never really becomes clear?). Despite having 2 hours to do something, the whole story just feels forced and leaves the audience scratching there heads trying to make sense of who Captain Marvel actually is. Oh, and apparently the only way to be a powerful woman is to have a bunch of hateful men in your life? This about sums up the entire movie.… Expand

Came here because Rotten Tomatoes deleted my honest review: Captain Marvel has serious pacing and script problems, and Carol Danvers is an evident miscast - Brie Larson is not fit for the role at all - she may be good in other movies, but in this one is as it she never won an Oscar. Her acting is dull, stall, automatic and deprived of personality, which compared to the acting of the rest of the cast falls behind in a massive manner (the contrast is just too notable between acting skills). The movie has no character development and barely any character growth(she never really had a true hit rock bottom moment in which she stands again gaining strength from a mistake)....Carol Danvers is the same as when she started at the end. and barely has a plot which makes this a really slow film. I don’t know how the directors got the idea that we would like an emotionless invinsible and flawless woman deprived from humanity from the start to end to represent woman’s feelings. The story has barely humor, two of the famous jokes of the movie barely made a chuckle in the audience. The only good things about this movie, the rest of the cast including Samuel Jackson, Jude Law, Talos actor and Maria Ranbou kid performances are good.

In my country people always clap at the end of an MCU movie. This did not happen this time as people left with a sour and bitter taste.

3/10 aside from the pacing and script problems, MCU needs to recast Captain Marvel to someone who can act in a superhero movie in a way that people can relate and feel that in fact she is a hero. She is not a bad actress but her performance in this movie is a low blow to her acting history and career.… Expand

This film can still entertain the audience; both ordinary viewers, children's audiences, and nerdy viewers like me. Rarely are there super hero stories whose main characters are girls, right? It's just that inner beauty is not digested enough, because the filmmaker did not dare to make his own voice.

It's bad when Goose the Cat is the best character, but this movie is still not worth spending your hard earned cash on. To anyone who's worried that there's something in the Captain Marvel movie that directly affects Endgame, there is not. You can literally go from Infinity War directly into Endgame without any issues.

The other bad thing about this movie is that it ruins the possibility of a full-out Secret Invasion movie (or at least appears to do so). Save your money and wait until this hits Netflix or until you get a free Redbox rental code after it hits DVD/Blu-Ray. It's not even worth a Black Friday $5 grab bag buy. 1/10: Captain Marvel is not Marvel-ous.… Expand

So I had told myself that wasn't going to go see Captain Marvel because of all of this bullcrap going on with it. Yet Marvel had never let me down across the last 10 years and so I went to go watch Captain Marvel with a cautiously optimisticSo I had told myself that wasn't going to go see Captain Marvel because of all of this bullcrap going on with it. Yet Marvel had never let me down across the last 10 years and so I went to go watch Captain Marvel with a cautiously optimistic mind ... twice. I watched it the first time on a regular screen and the second time in 3D. If you are still thinking about going out to watch it, don't bother with 3D. It seemed like it was added as an afterthought and doesn't add any value to the movie.

So all I can say is that Brie Larson is a thoroughly average actress in every regard. She's been working in Hollywood long enough that either she has "it" or she doesn't; Brie Larson doesn't. She simply cannot seem to muster the "it-factor" to be a leading actress. Her performances are completely forgettable; including this one. I've watched Kong: Skull Island multiple times as it's a good movie to kill time on a long flight; I keep forgetting that she even played in that movie. She will never bring the kind of dynamic interactions that a Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie brought in Mr & Mrs Smith or Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in Wedding Crashers. This kind of dynamic interaction is what makes lead actors and actresses dominate every scene that they are in. Yet even with perhaps one of the funniest and most adaptable/improvisational leading actors in Hollywood right now (Samuel L Jackson) she couldn't make it work. I mean the best and most memorable scenes were with SLJ and the damn cat. Which is sadly and ironically hilarious. I think that casting someone like Katee Sackhoff would have made for a much better film because Brie Larson was a poor choice.

This brings me to the movie itself. The movie was a basic if sluggishly straightforward "super-hero" film. The twists and turns were sadly predictable. Each scene seemed as if it took just a tad longer to get to the point and reason why it's in the movie. Almost as if there wasn't enough "story" to make a full-length movie and each scene stretched itself out to help fill the time requirements. The script seemed like it was written by a bunch of 5th graders; on second thought I've watched "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" and the kids on that show probably would have come up with something better. The jokes and puns are fairly lame and you could tell that Samuel L Jackson was doing his absolute best with the crap that he got. I think that the only good thing that this film has going for it was the CGI space scenes and how they de-aged SLJ. Though a couple brief moments they let slip the effect and SLJ was his current age - but was very difficult to catch & very brief; I missed it the first time I saw it. Perhaps it happened when they added the 3d effects and it messed with the de-aging. I don't do CGI so I wouldn't know; that's purely a guess.

There is absolutely nothing that is critical information to know that ties Captain Marvel into Avengers Endgame so this movie can be completely skipped and you won't have missed much. Besides the main tie-in is Fury's pager going dark at Avengers HQ scene and the cat coughing up the Tesseract on Nick Fury's desk scene and both of those are all over YouTube anyway. I'd give the film 3/10 and that's mainly for the CGI effects (and knowing that SLJ seems to be great with cats).… Expand

(She has no ambitions/goals, no dislikes/fears. People point the way, and she goes.)

Plot is average.
With some fixing to the script, it could have been better.
With some better acting on brie's part, and another woman's part, it could have gotten quite emotional, even with the script as is.

The jabs at men were kept somewhat to a minimal, and the focus was less on the men, but the idea of "You can't do it". (Which was the best way to deal with the issue, despite not being placed well in the movie)
But these scenes dont fit in the story, due to how the main character doesnt fail at anything, nor had to struggle to achieve anything.
Suddenly at the end, it almost tries to bring that message back, but comes off corny, and out of place.

While not a bad movie, I cant help but disagree with Brie's/Marvels attempt to badmouth males for the sake of trying to promote this movie, and hold off until womens day, to see if that would raise sales.
I'd say read a synopsis of the movie, but dont pay to see it.
But if you do see it, you wont feel cheated by it, but you probably wont find it very good. (It would be entertaining to a teenager or someone who just wants to see action, and not think on the situation much.)

While this is the MCU's attend to get their own Wonderwoman, they fail very badly: WW was packed with emphasis, emotions and this special human touch you need to introduce such a character. CM is just blurry, loud, pale and just blank. There is nothing: no emtions, no sympatetic moments, no accesability. This is pure propaganda for justifying a representation of women in film – but why? We all LOVE "Kill Bill", "Alien", "Matrix", "Resident Evil", "Mad Max" or "Underworld" – did we ever needed to be remided of their protagonists who kicked axx (despite or because) they were female? This is a bad move. A bad movie. And pleas don't let me start to review the performance (or the lack of) of Brie Larson. No comment.… Expand

Terrible, decepcionante, insufrible y exasperante. es lo que pasa cuando un estudio pone el mensaje feminista por encima de la historia y el guion. La pelicula esta llena de bromas que no aterrizan, dialogos sosos, e incomodos momentosTerrible, decepcionante, insufrible y exasperante. es lo que pasa cuando un estudio pone el mensaje feminista por encima de la historia y el guion. La pelicula esta llena de bromas que no aterrizan, dialogos sosos, e incomodos momentos diseñados para demostrar que los hombres son los responsables de todo lo que esta mal en la vida de la protagonista. Los efectos visuales no tienen nada de especial, es lo mismo que hemos visto los ultimos 10 años. El maquillaje es terrible y puede ser comparado a un episodio cualquiera de Star-Trek. Pudieron haber explotado mucho mejor las habilidades camaleonicas y la intriga causada por los Skrulls, en cambio abandonan esta linea antes de la mitad de la pelicula. La parte media de la pelicula es aburrida. Hay muchos agujeros en la trama, la personaje principal tiene poca motivacion y pasa de 1 a 10000 de poder demasiado rapido, practicamente sin merecerlo y sin buscarlo. Capitain Marvel es una Mary Sue hecha y derecha, parece que sus peleas y escenas de accion estan diseñadas solo para hacerla ver invencible y son aburridas. Es incomodo ver como los villanos quedan impotentes ante su mera presencia y no pueden mas que admirarla y temerla. Samuel L Jackson carga en us hombros la pelicula con su actuacion y muy necesarias intervenciones comicas, aun asi la pelicula se encarga de hacerlo ver tonto, descuidado e incompetente. Brie Larson no tiene carisma, pero aparentemente tenemos que hacernos a la idea de que tenga una aparicion salvadora en Avengers EndGame.… Expand

It's just a long, bland, "whatever" filler episode of Agents Of Shield with a guest star Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury). The production team didn't care about the movie and the actors just wanted the paycheck.

This woman is NOT a good role model. AT ALL. She is HORRIBLE - selfish, careless, willing to destroy innocent lives just to satisfy her ego of being powerful. My full review is far too long to post here. Do not let your kids watch this.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a bad movie, it's a mess with some pretty unforgivable plot holes, the treatment of Nick Fury reduced to an emasculated joke is just infuriating (pun intended), the gender swapping of Mar-Vell as a self serving agenda is laughable, the hand to hand action is terrible and you can see the size of the stunt double all the time, but the worst of all is the main character, she never grows, she never struggles, she never suffers, there is no hero's journey,just a slow boring descent into the Realm of the Mary Sue. She puts in danger the whole MCU… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain Marvel is a de facto poor movie. It feels like it was written by a 16 year-old. The dialogue is not credible, the acting is bad, the music choice for combat scenes is mind bogglingly bad, and the plot itself is mediocre beyond belief. Carol Denvers, the protagonist, is a hero that receives her power undeservingly, out of sheer luck. She was at the right place, at the right time, and that is it. For a plot that seems so fixated on making the protagonist seem like a warrior-spirited inconformist that dares to challenge her own limits, that is frankly lame and anticlimatic. The supporting characters are terrible. In one scene, her friend, a normal human being, having just witnessed an ALIEN BEING that shapeshifts, tells the ALIEN BEING that she'll "shove her foot up his ass" at the slightest provocation. Again, in an effort to make the characters (especially women) look "badass", some ridiculous situations are created, and the result is not "cool", but precisely the opposite. Nick Fury is portrayed as a fool, which I don't think is the result of deliberate character sabotage here, but should be attributed to abysmal writing instead, really. Again, it's like a movie written by a teenager. That also explains how the writers choose to portray how Fury loses his eye. The questionable event is better explained not by malice, but by sheer incompetence. Brie Larson, the actress playing Captain Marvel, is quite uncharismatic, and God knows her character needed someone with charisma to save the Captain from all her arrogant one liners and unbridled "asskickery". The movie has no actual villains, since by the time the antagonists finally reveal themselves, Captain Marvel has already ascended to godhood (this is not an exaggeration) and is capable of wiping out entire alien fleets of battleships without dropping a sweat. Alien battleships actually warp out of her presence and towards the other side of the universe, in order to escape Comet Woman Who Shoots Death Photon Blasts And Flies Through Space at Lightspeed Unscathed. When the movie finally ends, it leaves the audience feeling cheated out of any hint of tension or suspense, and thus of adventure, in what was supposed to be an adventure movie. But Captain Marvel is not an adventure movie. It's a movie about someone who gets progressively more powerful, until, at the end, the character transcends the rules of its own universe, and not a single damn is even possible to be given about the character anymore.… Expand

I wanted a "90's movie," but this is really just set in the 90's. It reminded me of Thor: The Dark World. Just kind of "eh," with a similar plot.

Just kind of "eh," with a similar plot. After 21 Marvel films, I'm sure most people who have seen them all will rank this one toward the bottom. Most. It was nothing worth getting worked up over for fans or the press. Brie Larson, as others have pointed out, was unemotive and bland. There are some special effects I found on par with the first "X-Men" movie. I found the amount of direct references and nostalgia overwhelming sometimes. It ironically took me out of the movie knowing Brie Larson was born in 1989, the year NIN released "Pretty Hate Machine." Does Brie Larson know that? I doubt it. It just doesn't "feel" like 199X. Bad reviews are not meant to hurt the feelings of those involved in the production. No one is trying to hurt Brie Larson or her career by saying they don't like or want to see this movie. It's just an opinion, not "trolling."… Expand
