On the surface a very generic super hero movie, look a little deeper and it is filled with cringe worth political agendas and retcons that take a wrecking ball through the already established mcu.

Nick Fury had his balls chopped off in this "film".

The story is horrible, the acting of Brie Larson ridiculous.
She acts like a B-Movie villian, not a AAA super hero. The story is lame, the CGI weak, the acting doll-like and endeavored seriousness.

Brie Larson is a complete miscast as Cpt.Marvel. It is unsympathetic and has no potential for identification. Emily Blunt would have been a much better choice for the role, but Disney has opted for an actress who understands neither the character nor the MU and rather invites her with her questionable theses to racial thinking.

Good Job Disney! Very Family friendly!

About the manipulation of the Box Office by Disney and its affiliates regarding Cpt. Marvel, let's ignore it. It speaks for itself and the confidence in their character and the franchise.

One can only hope that Disney comes to his senses as soon as possible and re-staffs the character of Cpt.Marvel, with an actress who is not politically indoctrinated.… Expand

Just watched this movie, beside all the controversy around the lead actors political views I wanted to give it a chance because of my love of comics and the MCU. my issue with the movie seemed to be a attempted rehash of Captain AmericasJust watched this movie, beside all the controversy around the lead actors political views I wanted to give it a chance because of my love of comics and the MCU. my issue with the movie seemed to be a attempted rehash of Captain Americas origin from the MCU. but unlike Captain America, they barley fleshed out motivation for why Carol Danvers deserves to or wants to be a hero, they rush threw some character building points by just show flashed a men being dick to women. Being a comic book movie based in fiction I guess their world they wanted to create was a one were men treat women like **** In my own life we respect all people but I don't live with only progressive dems so maybe that's why i don't see this kind of abuse.
other then the forced ideology, I don't see any emotion from Miss Marvel, her jokes fell flat, her chemistry seemed forced with Furry. I feel like they missed a few opportunity to show more of early S.H.E.I.L.D and furry and Coulson and maybe some more incite to who they are. The thing that i dislike the most is that Miss Marvel, is that she seemed to not be excited/impressed about anything, It was like when she went full power she already knew it was it was possible, or her acting was so bad she couldn't make us believe she is the Hero she claims to be.… Expand

How did it fare?

To begin, let me say that this film does have its merits and has a reasonably strong first act. While the acting of its lead, Brie Larson, was by and large underwhelming and flat throughout, others such as Mendlesohn and Jackson brought their usual A-game. The effects were well done, and the score was immersive and unique, standing apart in a great way from its fellow MCU entries. Sadly, these stronger elements of the film were not enough to hold up the weight of its weaknesses, of which there was plenty. The most glaring issue for me would have to be the weak-to-nonexistent story arc of its primary character, "Vers" / Carol Danvers. She started the movie assertive, determined, confident, and strong and ended the movie... assertive, determined, confident, and strong. But hey, she got more powerful! So there's that. Apart from this, Brie Larson's performance falls disappointingly flat, leaving scenes (one with her mentor, in particular) which could and should have been powerful moments in the film feeling hollow and unaffecting as a result.

The general plot of the story has a solid outline but is inadequately fleshed out, leading to a few plot holes. The screenwriters' neglect in this area has also led to the creation of the first noticeably glaring continuity errors in the MCU (conflicts with some of Nick Fury's words and actions from earlier MCU films, places kinks in the explanation of what happened to certain pivotal elements from other movies, etc.), which Marvel has up until now managed to smoothly avoid. Character development feels somewhat lacking with some supporting characters, and the friendship between Carol and Maria is entirely unconvincing, leading me to wonder if the lead role was simply miscast, or if the problem goes deeper than that and falls more on the shoulders of the director. Regardless, the end result is unfortunately the same. Fight scenes, which we as an audience have come to expect from the MCU to be nothing short of a gloriously and smoothly executed spectacle, are frustratingly dark and filled with enough jump-cuts to induce a migraine. There's one scene in particular of Vers chasing and battling an opponent in and on a train which is cut so excessively and jarringly that it nearly rendered any fight choreography needless. This, in my opinion, is unforgivable in an action film, much less a superhero blockbuster. They can do and have done so much better. So what happened here? Captain Marvel, despite being a historically bottom-shelf Marvel character that has never quite seemed to find an audience in Marvel Comics (it's reportedly been rebooted 5 times in only 6 years), had potential. Sadly, that potential seems to have been squandered by attention that should have been directed toward penning a cohesive story and casting the right talent being instead tragically directed toward advancing a feminist agenda c/o virtue signaling by the MCU and Disney in an effort which screams, "We have our Wonder Woman, too!" But they don't, really. They could have, but in the end, this proves to be simply too contrived of a work to even compare. With a bland performance by its lead, a seemingly rushed script, choppy and hard to follow fight scenes, and a lacking character arc for its namesake, Captain Marvel's pros flimsily crumble beneath the weight of its politically-charged cons. Here's hoping if it gets a sequel, the filmmakers will have learned from this and will then choose to focus more on telling a compelling story and getting solid performances from its players. Stop trying to create a "strong woman character" and just write a solid character who then shows us she is strong by virtue of her actions. Put the horse before the cart. The story will be all the better for it, and as we all know, that's all that matters. It's why we go to the movies, after all: everyone loves a good story.… Expand

To start with the film is far too predictable. In my opinion brought Captain Marvel out too late, it's based not too long before the first Iron Man and while the film does clear up a few storylines as well, it is still too predictable. It reveals how Fury lost the use of his eye and is an origin story for Phil Coulson of sorts. However, the only part that truly stood out to me and made it a good film was the few scenes with Fury and the Flerken. Brie Larson played the character as well as the script allowed her and along with Samuel Jackson they made the movie what it was, they make a great acting team and character team but overall the script was poor and predictable.… Expand

That being said, theLet me start by saying that the homage to Stan Lee was beautifully done and almost brought a tear to my eyes as I've been a fan of Marvel Comics all of my life and this man's creations brought so much happiness to me. That being said, the movie: it's a forgettable debut for Captain Marvel in the MCU. It started bright enough with Brie Larson even showing some signs of charisma, something which was not portrayed in the trailers. Unfortunately, it went downhill as the movie progressed, Brie Larson under-acted throughout the rest of the film, I don't know if she was directed to act that way or if she simply missed the mark with her personal performance but either way, her performance was bland just as previewed in the trailers. Another aspect that did not help Brie Larson is that the Captain Marvel character itself lacked any originality: it seems that the only distinct personality trait is that she's fighting a feminist battle to overcome gender cliches. The character is a caricature of the feminist stereotype and so is the portrayal of most men in the movie, they're also a caricature of what modern feminists imagine that men are like.

Even Samuel L. Jackson's performance was weak when compared to his other works. I do have to credit Ben Mendelsohn though, his portrayal of Talos was by far the best aspect of the movie; that and the child actress that portrayed Carol Danvers when she was 6 years old.

All in all, I do not recommend wasting your time seeing this movie, it's uninspired all around and it is not even required viewing for Endgame. 3/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The good: Sam Jackson playing a young Nick Fury,
he and Brie had a good chemistry, in those times
Brie did a good job IMO. Liked seeing Agent Colson.
The cat was cool and I did like the soundtrack.

The Bad:
The story was not good and the tesaract story
is a little convoluted. The fight scenes were not very good, Danvers character seemed like they did not know her personality. Snarky?
Funny? Mad? Brooding? I did like her when
she interacted with Jackson but most of the
time she just had a cold stare. The whole skrull angle was serious cringe, oh I thought you were terrorists but turns out you are just refuges and you have been separated from your family, lets push a little harder on that agenda wow.

More agent Colson please.

Her getting her full power was very predictable and she is just a tad over powered. Once she has that power the movie should be over, there is nothing that can stop her and the final confrontation with the dude is a joke.

Even with all of that I will give it a 3 because I am marvel fan, I liked some parts, and the Stan Lee Cameo along with the Stan Lee page flips at the beginning were very cool.… Expand

There was no vulnerability to her, not relatable at all. The graphics was good, Fury was good, except for the way in which he lost his eye.. disgusting and disrespectful I would think. I will admit though, the movie was highly predictable and it incorporated a lot of extreme feminist angles and views which would drive a lot of people off it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story was dragging. It never felt like I was watching an MCU movie. It was like a different thing. I was expecting to get my usual super hero experience but 1 and a half hour was all irrelevant conversations. It just didn't work for me.

There is a plot twist and they could have done this better but no, it was just like... meh... A plot twist should be built up from the start and when it is revealed, it should be shocking, with it being foreshadowed the entire film. That way you can attract multiple viewings. But no... it is just meh...

No super hero landing too... And for an origin story, we are expecting to learn together with the hero what he/she can do. But apparently she knows everything she is able to do right from the start.

IMHO, Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 was better. At least thor 2 explored a new stuff by the converging of the 7 realms and it was action packed. And in Iron Man 2, that was the first time we saw a suit that is portable which is really cool. This one though has little to no action (Just 2 forgettable action scenes), no cool suit or display of power as she had everything right from the start except flight and binary form which was not showcased really well. It just came about without any build up.

There is also no villian in the movie. In the first half it was Ben, and on the second half it was Jude whom did not really pose any threat; I mean he was down in just one shot. And then they teased Ronin which is really for nothing as we know what his future will be.

This movie had so much potential but it felt really flat. I wanted to like it but I almost fell asleep between the 30 min mark til 1 hr and 30 min mark.

Brie Larson's acting was fine at most parts even though some felt fake and she's always **** But my problem with her is that she is very replaceable; Brie is very replaceable as Captain Marvel unlike Hugh as Wolverine, Chris Evans as Capt America, Robert Downey as Tony, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and basically all of the MCU heroes.

Overall I think this movie is bad. There were good things in it don't get me wrong, but it is very forgettable. I admit I liked some scenes and enjoyed that moment, but even now, I do not remember what those scenes are.… Expand

I'm not going to say she was a bad actor because I've seen her play other roles better, I just don't think this is the right role for her. During the first portions of the movie, I was actually entertained and then throughout the rest of the movie, it's like she did not understand her character or who she was supposed to be playing. The music was very good I loved it. Of course Marvel soundtracks never get old but I don't agree with some of the songs they chose. I love Gwen Stefani but I would have totally chosen ‘hollaback girl’ as opposed to ‘I'm just a girl’. With the exception of the very beginning of the movie and the very end, I was very bored. The pacing seemed off. There was a lot of dead space in-between people talking and the chemistry between some of the characters was just off. Some of the writing just made no sense and I think that this movie could have done better with a different writer and director.

The driving force behind why Captain Marvel is the way she is seems very shallow. The whole narrative is that boys were mean to her and that was it. There was really nothing else that she had to overcome like other superheroes who had their families killed, or who had something traumatic happened to them. There was really no depth to her character and that was disappointing.
It almost seems like one big commercial for female empowerment/oppression, and even as a female, I don't really appreciate that in a movie. Captain Marvel deserved to have more depth to her character than just a girl who was a victim. That's not cool For as much as they were hyping up this movie and marketing it to be something amazing, it fell below short.… Expand

If you recall in Winter Solider, he said the last time he trusted someone, he lost an eye. Maybe it was the trust in whoever made this sad excuse of a film.

The title character has no flaws or weaknesses. While Clark Gregg's Coulson felt spot on, Samuel L Jackson played a character that seemed the polar opposite of Nick Fury. The film score was good, but the song choice during the closest thing this movie had to a climatic battle was met with an audible groan from the audience. It is worth watching once, but I believe it will degrade in quality with each subsequent viewing. Wait for it to come out on a streaming service… Expand

I don't often write reviews but this movie deserved one. Besides the horrible acting and writing, this entire production redefined the bar for what a generic film is. It kind of plays off as a weird joke the entire time.

I am a huge Marvel fan and a fan of superhero movies. I was surprised when they announced this character as a solo movie as it is and was not a very popular one. There could have been so many female strong characters to choose from such as Black widow, spider-woman, she-hulk scarlet witch etc. Saying that, this is what Marvel choose and what we are “stuck” with. I was bored at times and definitely would not watch it again. Like most fans, I can’t wait for End Game. I just hope that Marvel doesn’t stick with the plan of having CM as the saviour or even having a large role. I would prefer she not even be in it at all. They could learn from this mistake and take this opportunity to bring in another new female hero ( if this is what they want) or just use an existing one and build her character. Disappointed in this movie and in Marvel and hoping like heck that they will make up for it in future movies such as End Game. Thank you. Oh and 1 more thing, please try to stick more closely to source material.. Thanks again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvels newest insulation to the MCU and leadup to the much-anticipated End Game was a total disappointment in my eyes. POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING! With that being said I'll try not to go too into detail with anything. So for starters, I think Brie Larson is an incredible actress however when it came to Captain Marvel it was a 2/10. I feel that when you get a big role as a superhero that you can't hold back for one second. All I felt from her was that she was just reading lines off a script. And when it came to acting as a superhero that she didn't embrace the role. When you think of a superhero (no matter woman or man) there has to be a level of gusto, which I felt there was an extreme lack of. In the movie no matter how they met her, they seemed to like her off the bat without her acting giving me any inclination that they would, based on her performance. The dialog in the film seemed like it was playing catch up and trying to inform the audience as fast as they could by having the characters constantly asking questions that seemed inorganic in my eyes. Now let's get to the inconsistencies in this movie which there is a bundle to pick from. If you are a fan of the MCU then you know who Nick Fury is. He is the stoic "leader" of the Avengers initiative that basically brings everyone together. Right from the get-go Fury is a likable and almost happy figure in this movie which doesn't match his character that all the other movies have portrayed him as. This is almost as much of a Fury origin as it is Captain Marvel, however, there is no character development for him. Even when he gets scratched in the eye by Goose he is still a happy person who still loves the cat. Maybe there will be more of an origin for him later showing why he trusts no one and blah blah blah, but the inconsistency in his character was offputting. Tying the two together, if Nick Fury wasn't in this movie then I don't see Brie Larson being able to carry the weight on her own film. It's super disappointing because technically this is her 2nd go around as the character because they filmed Infinity War and End Game back to back, then they filmed Captain Marvel. The fight scenes in this movie were completely lackluster. The fight against her old team where No Doubt's "Just A Girl" seemed so bad in my eyes. I don't know if it was because it felt like the mix of the song was in the back/wasn't strong/seemed thin or if it was song choice or if it was the choreography of the fight, but something was off. Plus this is right after she unlocks her powers and you're going to tell me that couldn't just shred thru them. They're saying that she is the strongest character that is going to help in the fight against Thanos but the guy with antigravity gloves puts up a fight? Come on now. Not only that but they send for Ronin and when he comes he sends a couple of missiles down, then captain marvel destroys them and he just goes 'nahh nevermind I'm out'. Where is the climax of the film, because if it was the "Just A Girl" fight then that's just simply disappointing. And don't get me started on the CGI of her falling back to earth, Jesus Christ man. All in all, Samuel L. Jackson was great, the cat was alright and when she got her powers that was cool. Other than that complete and udder disappointment. Captain Marvel was a movie that seemed to play information catch up and focus on making as many jokes as possible rather than drive a plot forward. Would see again to point out everything I hated about it. Looking forward to End Game.… Expand

Mediocre film at best, but that’s probably being generous. The one thing it has is a great supporting cast. Action scenes are mildly entertaining but nothing special.

Action scenes are mildly entertaining but nothing special. What really hurts the movie is actually the lead role. Capt Marvel herself has little to no personality, and you as the viewer struggle to relate to her at all. They also went full re-tard with her superpowers giving her every power under the sun while at the same time giving her no weaknesses or equivalent villian to fight. Therefore, she has no challenges or obstacles to face(other than some sexism). Everything is just “super easy, barely an inconvenience.” It makes for a very boring protagnist. Now the question is how do you put an overpowered character like this into the group Avengers movie w/o making everyone else seem irrelevant?… Expand

Larson gives a forgettable performance. Her internal conflict amounts to standing up against some vague memories of "the white patriarchy" keeping her down. Every time she's on screen you look for some other supporting role to relieve her. Literally every other character offers more depth to their roles and to the movie overall.

At this stage so late in the game, this movie should’ve been as good as the most recent Marvel movies but it was plain dull and pretty stupid. Even as a female viewer, I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the dialogue and song choices. Brie Larson was horribly miscast for this role. Academy awards mean nothing as we’ve seen with Halle Berry and other winners who are more than capable of giving terrible performances sometimes. The character of Carol Danvers was completely uninteresting and kind of unlikable. I feel a bit uneasy about Endgame as I know Captain Marvel is being pushed as a big player but I would honestly rather her role be as limited as possible. It’s such a shame the writing, direction, and acting couldn’t be up to the current standard we’re at now. I really wish Captain Marvel came out 5 years ago so at least they could’ve had a second go of developing a much better storyline and character that could fit in nicely with the Avengers.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was bad with some good parts. The pacing was a mess, the plot was terrible, and there wasn't really anything that stood out as particularly interesting. I went in expecting a below average Marvel movie and that was probably the best approach to have. I'll also keep this as a footnote, but the inserted politics didn't do the movie any favors and actually made the movie more enjoyable in the bad way. Scenes flow very quickly with hardly any stops to get invested in what is going on. There was a pretty consistent pattern of wasted tension any time things did slow down, including a disappointing 3rd act when confronting the big bad guy. Also as much as I enjoy Goose the cat, the writers use it as an out to conflict several times which feels cheap and unearned. Captain Marvel is invincible. Even while human, she shrugged off the crash of a plane using a prototype light speed engine which still wasn't enough for this masochist, so she proceeded to shoot the engine point blank for it to blow up in her face. Somehow the universe rewards her with superpowers for this attempted suicide. All the scenes showing her growing up and being put down by men were all pretty funny because it was usually partnered with footage of her failing, including her crashing into a wall after being told to slow down while driving a go kart. He wasn't talking down to you, he was just telling you to drive safely. This is also consistent with how she acts as an adult since when she fails then, she immediately uses her powers to get her way. Got bested in a friendly sparring match? Take a cheap shot when on the ground and launch them across the room. Such a noble and likable character. Carol was also extremely stiff throughout the movie, only going through the motions rather than actually expressing any emotion. It was fun to laugh at some of the choices made, like the music selection for some fight scenes, but I wouldn't want to watch it again.… Expand

This film reminded me a lot of "Alita: Battle Angel"; so much potential to be amazing, yet ultimately falls flat on its face due to a horrible script and a bland Mary Sue protagonist. From a non-political standpoint, the film fails completelyThis film reminded me a lot of "Alita: Battle Angel"; so much potential to be amazing, yet ultimately falls flat on its face due to a horrible script and a bland Mary Sue protagonist. From a non-political standpoint, the film fails completely to create a world worth emotionally investing in. The lead actress has already been proven to have amazing talent as seen in "Room", yet in this movie she has the acting abilities of Kristen Stewart from "Twilight" and Milla Jovovich from the early "Resident Evil" movies.

Rather than this, the protagonist has virtually no flaws and is deemed a literal "god" by everyone for being perfect and all-powerful in every way imaginable. There is no struggle or conflict in this movie; just a poorly edited montage of explosions and deaths until the predicted end goal is achieved by the protagonist.

But the main crime of this movie is it's absolute failure to push it's third-wave feminist agenda.

It is clear that the focus on this movie was to push the third-wave feminist agenda to the extremes; that women all have the potential to be just as good, or even better, than men. However, to try and prove that point in a fictional movie only backfires on itself. That's because there's plenty of real-life examples of amazing woman that such supporters of this movement can be praised for, and because the film reasserts that the accomplishments of men are the golden standard that everyone else, including women, needs to try desperately to live up to or succeed.

Why do we have to have such messages forced and pushed in fictional worlds in order to be recognized or deemed "true"? Why can't women be amazing for doing their own things or for being themselves instead of only recognizing women that meet or succeed the benchmarks left by men? We each have our own strengths and weaknesses that compliment one another when we work together. Women and men are not inherently equal in virtue, but they are in value and for the things they are able to accomplish on their own that men will never be able to do. In conclusion, this film isn't even worth waiting until it's on Netflix to watch. There's nothing of entertainment or moral value in this movie that makes it truly worth remembering or recognizing.… Expand

Twisted storytelling ruins movie. I'm all for nonlinear approaches to origin stories, but clearly this approach didn't work. I just can't believe the producers and the director looked at the script and decided that it was ready to make.

As for Brie Larson, when you see her in a scene with Annette Bening, it's hard to believe Larson's the one who got the Oscar! And the overuse of 90s music was nauseating.… Expand

The movie was a failed attempt to involve Captain Marvel into the MCU. Without Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) the film would have been more interesting and the sc-fi worlds they were building was never done before in the MCU, yet Captain Marvel is not an interesting character, she is too powerful, too dull and too underdeveloped. Samuel Jackson (Nick Fury) adds a great aspect to the film being very funny and cool. The film is also trying to be every marvel film anyone has ever seen, one minute its Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man, Avengers, Captain America and (DC) Wonder Woman/ Superman. It deserves something straight in the middle, a confused film.… Expand

There are some genuinely entertaining parts of the movie that I enjoyed. But unfortunately, most of what makes the good parts of the movie are the supporting actors like Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, the girl that plays Monica Rambeau, and even the cat. Ignoring the controversy around Brie Larson, she just isn't a good cast for the character. She looks uncomfortable in her skin, and she looked like she had to remind herself she's a superhero or a member of a galactic police force. She was trying to strike heroic poses for half the movie, which was extremely awkward, and it takes the audience out of the immersion. You are reminded you are watching a superhero movie, and not an actual superhero.… Expand

Is Captain Marvel awful? No
Is Captain Marvel the "Last Jedi" of the MCU? No
Is Captain Marvel great and worth watching? No
Leaving aside the entire political SJW Fallout, which has accompanied the movie for months, remains a boring action movie with unspectecular CGI, filled with flat dialogues and a bunch of feminism. The audience follows an overpowered Mary Sue on her journey to completely destroy the Marvel Universe and possibly the MCU, and in my opinion, the movie easily manages to open up the real Marvel fans and I can understand it well when people are pissed off.
Attentive audiences will realize within the first five minutes who the "bad guys" are and the alleged "bad guys" become politically correct refugees and thus the "good guys" during the plot.
Fury is demoted to a boring sidekick, and the story of how he loses his eye destroys the entire myth surrounding that character. Badass Fury became Lameass Fury in the name of feminism.
Also by Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel gender is changed gender to make him a female Kree scientist. It almost seems like all good characters should be power women, which was hard to do at Fury. The so-hyped 90s setting of the film is a bad joke that is summarized, told in three minutes and where you already know the punchline. Oh, and since when did you get white NIN Girly shirts in the 90s?
The only funny scene in the film is Goose, whose species, as far as I know, does not even exist in the Marvel Universe, which leaves the question of why the cat ever appears in the film, except to create an "animal" sidekick with everyone again says: "Oh, he is cute!"
All in all, the movie is a debacle that you do not have to look a second time and there is no spoiler on Endgame either way. It remains to be seen what influence Captain Marvel will take as a character on the plot of Endgame, but I fear meanwhile bad.
At the beginning, I asked if Captain Marvel was the "Last Jedi" of the MCU and denied the question. I stay with it. If my fears for Endgame and the role of Captain Marvel in the upcoming MCU movie prove true, Endgame could very well become the "Last Jedi" of the MCU, resulting in the Disney within 18 months of its second market leading IP on the SJW mania would lose. Maybe Bob Iger will finally wake up and start rolling Disney heads.

Finally, a positive thing. Adding a homage to Stan Lee in the intro sequence of Marvel lettering was a really nice idea!… Expand

I don't know if it was the distortion of her origins or the way Disney/Marvel portrait the male antagonist character as a weak figure trying to keep Captain Marvel down. Their relationship is portrayed like a couple were the man is keeping the woman down and it wasn't until she leaves him that she finds her real power. This movie is trying to channel the energy of Wonder Woman, but it is missing the heart that made Wonder Woman so compelling and for that reason, it fails at delivering and connecting with the audience. The one bright spot is Samuel L. Jackson's, Nick Fury. He is the one redeeming part of this movie. He is funny and engaging. I only hope they can redeem this character in the upcoming Avenger: Endgame or Disney/Marvel would've squandered one of the most powerful and complex characters in their roster.… Expand

And Captain Marvel is so powerful, I'm not sure what villain Marvel can come up with to pose a challenge. She'll be able to defeat Thanos easily in Endgame (so I guess the past 11 years of buildup is totally wasted.)

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the character of Captain Marvel is enjoyable to watch, telling Earth-people she is from space with an almost reckless amusement compared to, say, your standard Star Fleet officer, the world around her seems lazy and un-immersive. Right from the get-go, we are only permitted to see Hala through a high-up window. This is the opposite of immersive. Alita let us walk the streets of her city. Really, we should have been given a chance to walk with Carol to one of her training sessions at Hala's ground-level--and see the skrull propaganda on the billboards!

This crime is repeated throughout the movie. We barely get a sense of Maria's house, for example, because the setting is barely introduced; Carol magically appears there instead of actually ENTERING the setting. We should follow her as she approaches the house, seeing her emotions as she sees the letterbox etc.

What does this all amount to? A greater focus from the audience on the clunky scene transitions, odd pacing and technical works behind the movie, because we cannot get into the world itself.… Expand

The recon to the MCU is insulting, and wait until you find out what happened with Nick Fury's eye.. it's absolutely insulting. This is why I don't want to watch movies with sjw nonsense surrounding it. The script they gave her was bad, her acting was mediocre, but I can't blame her, they didn't give her a lot to work with, she did her best with what she could. This movie is by no means a 1 or a 5. At Max it Should be a 2.5. WW was great, Alita was great, and so many other female lead movies are great, but those who push an agenda, apparently can't write a half decent script.

By far the worst MCU movie, once she has her powers there is no excitement to be had. She is basically Superman, and what made Superman interesting is the fact he fought against people who are equal to his strength. This movie should not have been made, the fans wanted a black widow movie so badly, and it would've been better if we had one. Don't trust the professional reviewers as they have come forward that they do "access journalism", which means that if they leave a bad review, they won't be invited anymore. I'd suggest waiting for DVD.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a terrible movie- had some good laughs, and Samuel L. Jackson as Fury is, as always, a delight- but by God, Captain Marvel the character was BLAND. I've heard some people attribute this to the memory-wiping/brainwashing she endured, but come ON. At no point in the movie was she anything but a Strong Female Character(TM) that made a few smart quips and kicked butt.

Like, let me highlight a little bit of this for you with a **SPOILER**: There's this part where she apologizes to the Skrulls for participating in the Kree's (more or less) genocide of their race. Talos says it's cool, war means everyone's hands are dirty, no harm done. I'd argue that her fighting for the Kree is the most controversial thing about her in this movie (the rest is, as I said, bland beyond words).

But this apology is undermined by two things:

A) Captain Marvel is also a victim of the Kree. She has been manipulated into helping them in this fight. They took advantage of (or deliberately wiped) her memory/lack thereof, and so the average viewer could dismiss it as "It's not REALLY her fault, she was brainwashed."

B) We never actually SEE her participating in any of this slaughter. We see her participating in a recovery mission that ends with them being ambushed by the Kree (i.e. blatantly painting them, to us and Danvers, as the enemy). We never see her actually doing anything morally questionable towards them- if Marvel/Disney wanted to paint a picture of a deeper character, a solider who has committed wrongs (intentionally or not) and needing to atone for them, it would have made for a much better character.

But silly me: Then she wouldn't be a ROLE MODEL for little girls, and God knows that's all female characters need to be. Strong enough that she can flatten her enemies without a real fight (she BARELY even got knocked around in that big fight towards the end), never makes any significant mistakes, and is easily trusted/accepted/forgiven by all the right people.

We have a word for that. It's a "Mary Sue", and despite what Certain People whine about that term, IT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT.

Bad show, Marvel/Disney. You could've made Captain Marvel a beautifully developed personality like Iron Man, Thor, Wonder Woman, etc. Instead you chose to play it safe so you could sell toys and brag about how you made a female superhero film and how ~feminist~ you are.… Expand
