Brie larsons acting is very very poor. her face expressions are bland and no energy her voice is the same. samule Jackson has some good lines and even though the cgi was pretty bad.
Plot
The plot is freaking awful it makes 0 sense she is a complete marry sue through out the entire thing she has no character arc and while some of the messages it sends are ok they are out of place. she is the same person in the beginning as in the end. Some charterers wear legit plot Armour surviving things that make 0 sense at all.
Holes
The tesaract is in the wrong spot. captain Mar vell is a women not a dude, humans pretend like theirs no aliens yet RED SKULL. They pretend they have never seen a hero Captain america, She destroys an accusers ship even though a nova core ravengers and guardian s couldn't stop them. made ronan retreat even though he can changeling thanos, fury looses an eye to a cat??? skrulls are good guys ???

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot twist with the Kree and Scrull can be seen a mile away so I have no idea how people though it was witty... the cat is the best part, and it's an alien that eats the tesseract.

This was a film with a lot of potential but it delivers totally flat, the wooden acting of Brie Larson is horrible. Ben Mendelsohn is outstanding. I almost fell asleep twice...nuff said. do not recommend. Wait until Netflix.

A poor addition to the MCU featuring a super hero completely devoid of charisma, Captain Marvel is a frustrating disappointment. This could have been so much better but it is a mediocre movie at best & I nearly walked out, definitely not recommended.

The trailers didn't particularly get me that interested for this movie, but riding the Endgame Hype I felt like I needed to see it anyways. Let me say that you can skip this movie, it's not required for Endgame.

Brie Larson had some decentThe trailers didn't particularly get me that interested for this movie, but riding the Endgame Hype I felt like I needed to see it anyways. Let me say that you can skip this movie, it's not required for Endgame.

Brie Larson had some decent movies in the past so I was hopeful she could pull off this character, but she just didn't feel right for the role. When she was on screen I didn't see "Captain Marvel" I just saw an actor playing the character. Compare this to Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, in their movies you don't see them as Actors playing the characters, you just see the characters because their personality is perfect for it. This is the problem for Brie Larson, she doesn't seem to have a personality in this. Most of what we see if her is either a deadpan expression or a snarky smile which just feels so forced most of the time.

I did like how Nick Fury was portrayed, and him and Carol Danvers do have a few decent moments on screen. Some points felt like it was a Buddy Cop movie, which were some points I personally enjoyed.

Goose the cat had great moments on screen (There's one part which makes the Bruce Banner introduction scene in "Avengers" much funnier), and Mendelson was another casting member I enjoyed seeing on screen.

That was most of the good things I have to say about the movie, now lets get into some of the bad without talking spoilers. CGI was meh, and looked incomplete in a few areas. Carol Danvers is a bit of a Mary Sue, and doesn't really go through much of a character arc. It kinda feels like it's more of a straight line.

There's one action scene that's set to the song of "I'm Just a Girl" which honestly made me cringe a bit. Speaking of action scenes... The camerawork in this movie during action scenes felt so off. If you've seen the movie you probably know what I mean. Especially during the later points, it never seems to focus completely on the action.

This movie has multiple retcons and plotholes which I can't go into detail specifically due to making this a spoiler-free review, but it feels like they're really trying to shoehorn in Captain Marvel at this point. They're trying to forcibly bend the MCU around her character, which I'm worried about if all movies with her are like this one. Her character is constantly said to be the "Most Powerful" in the MCU, which I felt they shouldn't have done. They're trying to force people to care about this character, which I just couldn't do at any point during the movie. Also, there was one scene with Nick Fury which made me absolutely furious. You know which scene I'm talking about if you've seen the movie. It completely makes one of his badass lines in The Winter Soldier into a **** line. That in it's own made me lower the score from what would have been a 5.

The movie wasn't overly-saturated with Feminism like I was expecting due to the marketing, but there definitely were some moments that I said "Yep, that's a feminist point." It wasn't my biggest complaint, but it was enough to make me roll my eyes a few times.

My verdict: 2/5. It had some charm in moments, but fell flat in many moments which killed any enthusiasm I had before. By the time the final act came around, I was honestly just hoping for it to be over. Not a movie that I'd go see again or buy, but it isn't the absolute worst of the MCU. It's a "Meh" movie, and IMO towards the bottom 5 or so. It's not a failure of a movie, but a failure of a Marvel Movie given they have a reputation for high quality these days.

If you haven't seen it yet, wait until it comes to Netflix or Redbox, it isn't worth going into theaters to see.… Expand

I hope the next Avengers movie is better. Action scenes were OK and the main actress was boring. Of course she wins because she has all the good super powers with little to no weaknesses. I'd wait for this on Netflix...

This Movie can hurt the MCU, It made Captain Marvel so powerful that everyone before is useless. I hope that there is some type of damage control to Save it. But here hoping. It has also left a bad taste, which could affect Endgame. I would not suggest going to this movie, wait till it comes out on a streaming service… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Too much nonsense in this film, the generic all powerful being that can't be hurt by anyone or anything aside, some of the crap they pulled off here really ruins the continuity of the past 10yrs of marvel films and she's apparantly the new face of MCU going forward?? the fact my theater was not full would speak otherwise, I've never been to an openeing of a marvel film where the theater and auditoriums were not packed, for Captain Marvel however, there were too many empty seats.
The problem with the movies is just the forced aspects of it's political messages which they are not shy from shoving in your face whatsoever and it gets real stale after the first 10 times of hearing, I'm better than you at xyz "cause i'm a chick"
some people are saying this film is getting "hate" because its lead by a female...yet Alita battle angel is literally an badass female killing machine and the audience score for that is in the high 90's, WW could basically be the poster child for women and her film and audience score was amazing. So you're telling me the same men who loved those female lead movies are now hating on this simply because the lead is a female!? grow up, the film just isn't good and the actress is not likable.
Spoilers ahead...

one of the dumbest things for me was the fact that they explain how fury lost his eye in the MCU...to the cat in the captain marvel film...SMDH
and in end credits she shows up like a troll asking where Fury is in the current MCU avengers universe...… Expand

Historically I find Captain Marvel one of the most confusing in comics and unlike some of the other characters like Ironman, Thor, or Ant Man. I don't feel like the writers brought all they could to this movie. The rendition of the 90's paled in comparison to what X-men did in the 60's, 70's, & 80's. The most I fear from this movie is that it will taint so many other established Marvel Heroes I've enjoyed for many years as Larson doesn't seem to have that team element the others do. I put this in the same category as the Green Lantern movie.… Expand

She felt "medicated", if you will, by showing no emotion through some of the climax of the movie.

But how can you win against an enemy who can see the future? Like Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow? No. They can defeat Thanos only by accident. Because if they are planning, he will know. And therefore there is no need for Captain Marvel. Possible scenario: Thanos take a shower and the cleaning lady enters the bathroom. She sees the gauntlet and think: "what a nice shiny glove" and take it to her kids to play. And Thanos became powerless.
Wait! If Thanos can see the future then he will know about the accident, too.

1. Brie Larson was an actress trying to act like a super hero but her preformence was flat and borring and simple. 2. The plot was simple and safe for being a Marvel movie.
3. Should have used Girls just want to have fun rather then I'm just a girl for the big fight.
4. The editing seemed very slapped together.
5. Most of the dialog seem monitoned most of the time except for Fury and 1 or 2 others moments. 6. Most of the main characters and secondary characters were basic.
7. Not once did I ever feel like the Main character has in trouble or in danger of even losing something it was just OP story with no real point but to put in a character that's to OP for someone's reasons.
Now this is not all that is wrong with this movie but I don't want to waste my time on this movie anymore.… Expand

Problem is she and marvel forgot super hero’s aren’t real and that Larson is just another spoiled obnoxious actress (yes I said actress).

When will Disney/Hollywood figure out that hiring activist actors hurts the bottom line of the projects they are in. Hey Disney, if you insist on hiring these activists at least put a muzzle on them.

That may not be all her fault considering the lackluster script an uneven direction. Suffice to say, she does not fit this role, in my opinion. Sam Jackson was great. Everyone else did their numbers. Overall there was nothing in this movie that really grabbed me. Despite some laughs and chuckles, I felt nothing. There was no rousing moment like the "No Man's Land" scene from Wonder Woman. It was just a popcorn/filler movie leading up to Endgame.

Totally skippable.… Expand

The main actor lacks any growth and emotion the entire movie. The funniest part involves a space cat. Retcons all over the place. Just a boring movie to watch. This ranks next to dark wold as probably the worst marvel movie in recent times.

Nick Fury's character is too complacent/sophomoric for someone who is supposed to be a "former Full Bird Colonel." 2. Brie Larson took acting for this movie way too seriously. It comes across in a cliche such as the 60's batman t.v. series with the dramatic "wham!" and "bam!" thought bubbles when actions took place. 3. Definitely political undertones when discussing the roll of the Scroll people in the movie. 4. Huge Air Force public relations boost in the movie. Borders on puff piece. 5.

Maybe the fact that Clak Gregg and Ben Mendelsohn are here too, and Mendelsohn I really funny. There are moments where Carol has a personality in the beginning, but the good moments are few and far between, mostly she is either wooden or sulking or trying to prove how much better she is than anybody else. To sum it up. If everything and everyone is more interesting than your main character in a superhero movie, han you did something wrong. Also I couldn't follow the fight scene on the ship, it was dark and cut weirdly, and the laser show afterwards just proved that Captain Marvel is too OP for the MCU. This is the Superman problem all over again. Why have anyone else in the future films, if Captain Marvel can swoop in and save the day without breaking a sweat. I can only say what one of my favorite critic has said. This is like a bland phase 1 movie. If you wanted to be better or even on the same level as for example Wonder Woman, than your movie shouldn't just be ok. This is not great, not marvelous in is meh! This is like Solo for me.

Well, it shoulda had a better script & direction. Esp when we've been treated with the awesomeness of Infinity Wars, W Woman, and yes, Alita. As a result, I think much of Capt Marv felt like a paint-by-the-numbers exercise. Brie was perhaps trying too hard (or forced by the script) to act tough. There was hardly any sign of vulnerability in her, thus appeal to her character was sorely lacking. Compare that wt W Woman or Alita, where both movies' story telling got you attached to their journey. Next, the editing was patchy - eg bar room scene wt Fury. And the action? A low on the oomph meter. Esp when compared to the fight on Titan wt Thanos, or the rush of Motor-Ball. The directors + SFX team should have created a larger than life character; sadly, that didn't happen. Perhaps they need to understand that a character's cockiness doesn't translate into greatness. This movie will still go on to make bucket-loads of money, for sure. But only on the strength of its association with the MCU, and not b'cos of the character. Sad. I sure hope she does better in the hands of the Russo brothers.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wanted to be entertained not preached to. Ms. Larson lacked fire in her performance. She never BECAME her character just played her ... underwhelmingly as if the role was beneath her. The de-aging process was amazing. Mr. Jackson was excellent as always as was Ben Mendelsohn. Having Fury say in The Winter Soldier that the last time he trusted someone, he lost an eye was neutered by the way he lost his eye in this film. The "cockpit" put-down was cringe-worthy the first time, much less subjecting the audience a second time.

The makeup for the Skrulls was problematic most of the time, only good for Ben Mendelsohn. Making the Skrulls symbolic of our refugee problem might have seem an excellent idea by the screen writers, but it destroyed using the Skrulls as daunting adversaries as they were in the comics.

Pedantic, boring, paced poorly ... I expected better of a Marvel movie.

Why was Brie Larson the right fit?

With Captain Marvel, who has powers that approach a level that we haven't seen before in our films, you need to counter-balance that by finding somebody who is also very human and very relatable and can get into a groove with the audience, where they're willing to see her fly through the sun and punch a moon away from a spacecraft. At the same time, we need her to land and have relatable flaws.

Brie is a person you're going to want to go on this journey with, just like Benedict or Robert or Chris Pratt.

########

In short, Brie Larson failed miserably at what Kevin Feige hoped she could accomplish in Captain Marvel. Whether it was the direction or a failure of range, she looked as though she was wearing an "Edgar-suit". For me, this worked in the first act when we/she didn't know she was human but really fell flat in acts two and three. She was as miscast as Hayden Christensen playing Anakin Skywalker.

I hope Marvel reconsiders her role in Endgame and MCU +10 because any character who can "fly through the sun and punch a moon away from a spacecraft" leaves no suspense as failure is impossible for the character, let alone portrayed in a way that is so unrelatable and, frankly, unlikable.

This is easily the worst of the MCU. Without Nick Fury this movie would have been completely miss-able (and probably should be missed by hardcore comic book fans).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets get a few things upfront. I generally love Marvel Movies. I generally love movies with strong female leads. Despite this, I found myself loathing this movie, possibly because I saw it with such high expectations and with such high stakes being the movie that will be crucial to End Game, a movie I have been looking forward to for years. Brie Larson is generally un-charismatic and un-likeable. At no point does her character establish any empathy with the audience. The plot itself likely doesnt help. The amnesia angle is played poorly and we never really feel like we know or understand the character. Her singular motivation point, the equality angle, is so poorly force fed to audiences we cant possibly be sympathetic or understanding of the character. The main character undergoes little in terms of character development short of removing an inhibiting chip from her neck. The end battle has no tension. Her powers are completely over the top and seem unearned and without challenge. Even her friend is not very likeable as she chooses to engage in a few outer space thrills than protect her 6 year old daughter from rampaging aliens. Direction and editing is very poor. The jokes are lame and depending on your perspective a main and beloved character, Fury, is reduced somewhat by the knowledge that his damaged eye was in fact damaged by a cat (albeit an alien). Barely amusing - unless you go back the past movies, whereby the character becomes ridiculous every time he takes about his eye. All in all the pacing, script and narrative is a mess. Direction is variable, editing is a mess particularly in the last few battles. There is little to like this movie for. Finally and most depressingly. Captain Marvel seems to have little love for earth and barely any backstory with Thanos. Now this character is supposed to sway the balance in End Game. How will this reflect on our beloved characters who have fought for years and lost much against Thanos. Its hard to care and easy to be worried for the future of MCU given the emphasis they seem to want to place on this ill conceived character.… Expand

Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, and more recently Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman made much bigger impacts with their charismatic charm and personality as well as being badass as heroines. This character and this actress don't deserve to be put to the forefront to be the new face of the MCU when all CM is, is a Mary-Sue character who essentially has no flaws. The MCU has made her over-powered, stronger than any of the other heroes we grew up with, and yes even Thanos. If she ends up defeating Thanos on her own in Endgame, it would be the least satisfying and most disappointing climax to what the MCU has built up to for the over a decade.… Expand

As always, have a good day my friends.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I tried to go into this movie with an open mind and ignored all of the controversy around it, since I'm a huge MCU fan, but it turned out to be the dumpster fire of political SJW propaganda that actual real critics (not paid shill media, like syfy wire openly admitted) and general viewers claimed.

The beginning started off kind of engaging, but then it just fell flat after. Brie has zero charisma and has one of 3 expressions during the entire movie (bored, angry & a smirk in scenes that others tell her how great she is), there is no hero arc or character development at all (she's the best ever and needs no one) and there is literally no threat or tension at all. Absolute tons of exhibition about things characters should already know (all tell, no show). The pacing is terrible, with long boring sequences especially during the middle. The "final battle" just had CM flying around destroying everything yet never in any danger from anything. Then there's the numerous breaks in Canon (ie the "Avengers" are named after her... Yet Steve Roger's debut movie is literally "Captain America: The First Avenger"... Then the Mar-vel gender swap, cause she don't need no man... The list goes on).

This movie is so surrounded by controversy it has to be mentioned. Never in my life have I ever seen so much shilling and political protection thrown up to try and save an awful. From rotten tomatoes removing 54k reviews to allowing (or using) bot accounts to spam positive reviews (hundreds of accounts with identical positive reviews) to actually removing features and altering the whole site, then YouTube changing algorithms reclassifing brie larson as "news" to push accounts like ABC (owned by Disney) to the top of search results, and not to mention the fan shaming with the usual SJW crap of calling everyone who hated it a racist/sexist/whatever - ist/phobe and more, because when your movie is awful, blame the fans... Apparently Disney didn't learn from their star wars disaster.

This movie is bad.. Real bad.. And I didn't want it to be. Female superhero leads have been done before (no, CM was not the first, as much as they want us to think so) and done much, much better. Wonder Woman is a perfect example of a female superhero lead movie done right. I have fear of the direction the MCU is taking, especially if they shoehorn CM into Endgame as the Deus Ex savior they've set her up to be.… Expand

Forget the politics, this is just a bad movie. That's probably not fair, it's not a good movie with really bad timing. Everyone is just waiting for Avengers.

I almost fell asleep during this movie a couple times. I know Brie Larson can act, and I can't imagine that Marvel didn't have the money to giver her a nice big check, so I can't understand why the bad guy skrulls with 10 lbs of makeup on their face can act better than she can in this movie.

This movie is better than I expected, but I wasn't expecting much, and this movie still fails to be that entertaining of a romp. I'm admittedly rather picky when it comes to my movies, especially if I'm to be paying 8-10 dollars for a movie ticket, and I'm sorry that this movie came out at such prices. Honestly refunds should be in order.

The movie is decent in every way that you'd expect a big budget movie from the MCU to have; the cinematography and colours and other such technical things are on point enough, but the cgi honestly looks very rushed (considering that this movie was likely rushed to come out before the finale, Endgame, releases this isn't a surprise) The skrulls look kinda like the orcs from that one Will Smith movie "Bright" although not so stout and slightly different colouration. The movie manages to not look terrible for the most part, but the finale battle looks like a trailer from an early Xbox 360 game from E3 2005. Other than that the movie looks decent enough, and other aspects like Sammy J's Rejuvenation looks completely the opposite. If I hadn't known any better, I would've just said "Man, Sammy is aging like a friggin' Dorian Gray" Disney can de-age people like a wizard. Unfortunately where most of the positives stop. The plot fails to have any amount of originality to it, it has nothing to distinguish it in a good way from any other hero story out there. It has a bit of wolverine origins, a serving of captain america, a splash of Wonder Woman, a bit of Green Lantern, a smidgen of spiderman and a pinch of super girl. She's basically all the usual super hero tropes rolled into one bland character. The only times her character has more depth than a trading card is when she's interacting with Sammy's Nick Fury, the only highlights of the movie as they felt very nice and lively (one of the interactions actually made me smirk) It's hard for anyone to be a flat character around a personality like Mr. Jackson, he apparently made Brie forget why she's so upset to be in this movie at least.

The plot is also a bit of a mess, it has plot holes and problems that were overcame or explained in such a poorly done manner that they bring up more questions that answers (SPOILER-ish How in the frick does being next to explosion of an engine using the power of the tesseract make the strongest hero in the MCU but Loki using it's power in the first Avengers didn't decimate the team?! SPOILER-ish over)

There are secondary characters that also feel very bland, not only because their acting is bad either. No characters are anything other than a plot device save for the Sammy J, and the cat (Both of which characters are made lesser by the twist on how Fury got his scar)

The character, Vree is supposed to be the strongest character in the MCU, but she doesn't feel like she's earned it, she doesn't feel like she has any real power, just that her enemies are incompetent as she shows no real struggle and her "second wind" is explained by a throw away line that's just horrid writing. This is not the worst movie that the MCU has made, that dis-honor still belongs to Captain America, but it's in the same boat, it's a bad movie that they rushed out just before the big cross-over film was made.

It's worth a watch if you really like Marvel films, but it's not going to be anything that you haven't seen before and in fact couldn't have written yourself.… Expand

A film that doesn't respect that audience's intelligence, with a wildly incoherent narrative spun via a bland script, uninspired and overly edited action scenes, a wildly incoherent and poorly portrayed protagonist whose plank-like expression inspires no pathos whatsoever, and a jumble of mixed lore that not only clashes with what we already know of the MCU and reeks of retconning, with a sort of "oops, we forgot to introduce this character earlier, but they're super important and great at everything and somehow missing during the last 20-odd movies, so here they are, I guess?!" vibe to the whole charade. Mendelsohn and Law are the only ones who get out of this scot-free. There's something approaching the uncanny valley with how Samuel L. Jackson has been de-aged. I'm not exactly jazzed thinking about how much of the film's budget went into that effect, when they could have spent it actually trying with the weak action scenes. I mean, hello?! Infinity War and Black Panther both made over a billion dollars! They had time to do reshoots and rewrites, surely! There's no excuse for poor action, weak acting, or lazy storytelling in a major Marvel movie going forward. I'll be honest - the moment I saw that they were using the late Stan Lee's (RIP) Twitter account to promote this film was the moment I turned against this film. I felt disgusted for giving these corporate hacks my money and cheated that the man-hating Larson's character will be the new face of the MCU going forward. Whatever happened to all the characters we invested so much time and love in? Whatever happened to treating your fans with respect?

I'm going to see Endgame for sure, but after that, I don't know anymore... I'm getting burned out on these cookie-cutter films.… Expand

A complete boring overblown TV movie that wasn't up to par with what marvel usually does. Felt like a shield episode at best. To put it mildly, Fantastic four with Jessica Alba was better than this garbage....and that's not saying much. I guarantee the sequel to captain marvel will not make the money its making now because by then everyone will be well informed of this C list character.....lets hope to god that she is not the reason the avengers defeat Thanos...that would completely suck and make the 10 years invested in the MCU feel tainted....Had nothing to do with women in power.We were forced to watch a boring movie with no characterization. The movie was just a mess. Did the directors ever watch a Marvel movie in the MCU? They created many new plot holes, Nick fury's eye scratch , the tesseract fiasco, The fact Nick Fury had that stupid pager since 1995 and didn't call Captain Marvel when the sky opened up and ALIIENS with LOKI mind you, were attacking NEWYORK in Avengers ....yeah if that wasn't an emergency i don't know what is..ALIENS DUDE!! Something Captain Marvel is familiar with. He didn't call her when ULTRON, or the destroyer was on earth either. Listen, Wonder Woman, was a way better movie than this mess.… Expand

Mediocre story at best. Bad screenplay. Very weak acting (by Brie Larson, the others were fine). Too "forced" at times. And no, a cat cannot make the difference.
