The movie cast held their own but Brie Larson was 50/50 and not very convincing as a typical Marvel hero. The plot was nothing new and the ending was very predictable. If fans need a "MCU" fix then go check it out. If fans are looking for a big "reveal" for Endgame they will be sorely disappointed. This movie should have been out sooner but probably couldn't standalone without Endgame around the corner.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. English is not my native language, so I apologize for spelling mistakes.
I read comics for almost 20 years, I saw all the marvel movies and all tv show (except inhumans), I found this film at best mediocre, and had moments of pure frustration.
What I liked:
Samuel L. Jackson's acting was very good, Stan Lee's tribute and cameo, Ben Mendelsohn and CG.
What i dislike
Brie Larson's performance (not all, but most, she seemed bored for most of the movie), 99% of the jokes, the genderswap of an iconic character (Mar-Vel), the predictable twist, she is very OP, the origin of the avengers name (completely ridiculous), the Kree vs. Skrull "war", Skrulls being the "immigrants", how Fury lost his eye, Fury just being a **** when woman is around (the scene with him and Photon was cringe AF) .

and about the politics of the film: yes, they have a feminist / man (white) hate moments, it's not the same level as ghostbusters but not that subtle, especially the flash backs, all white man telling her she is not good enough and she should quit and the biker scene.
Now I'm worried about Avengers: End Game, if the CM defeats thanos or has more screen time than the original cast, I'll never spend money again to see another marvel movie.… Expand

The story is flat, the dialogues third-rate. The characters also lack depth, the potential of all actors wasn't used. Moreover, the cool and more pithy interpretation of Captain Marvel was more appealing. I thought it was great that they didn't try to incorporate the typical girlish stereotype, as it was the case with Wonder Woman-Movie or Supergirl-Series, for example. The cool emontionless nature of Brie's acting as Marvel has often been criticized. With a male role this would probably not have been of any consequence. Here the expectations are still very antiquated.… Expand

Captain Marvel was a movie that had a ton of potential, but lost out due to a shortsighted script compared to what could have been. Let me explain.

Carol Danvers is a character that has been around since 1977. I have accepted that super heroCaptain Marvel was a movie that had a ton of potential, but lost out due to a shortsighted script compared to what could have been. Let me explain.

Carol Danvers is a character that has been around since 1977. I have accepted that super hero movies have creative license. However, this is character that has various levels of impact in her long career. In the beginning she had involvement with Captain Mar-vel and became Ms. Marvel. This character would later lose her powers to Rouge (of the X-Men) and then evolve in the powerhouse Binary. This arc alone would have been amazing as a way to bring her in and would be a good arc to bring in the X-Men and potentially the Fantastic Four. This voyage could have been an amazing story of loss and evolution that would have climaxed into Captain Marvel. This would be something that with a shrewd writer could be something that could ellipse the source material and give depth to a character.

Instead of this possible option they crammed the Kree-Skrull war into one movie that was meant to be an origin movie for Carol Danvers and in many respects Nick Fury. In the end, this movie has stellar special effects, great acting in presenting Nick Fury and Talos, and the cat was a hoot. Aside from that Captain Marvel was presented by the actress and writers in a fashion that was more 2 dimensional and lacking. To me this was a quick gain in something that should have been postponed until the FOX merger was completed and make it into a longer arc that could have made Carol Danvers as a more multi-faceted character that could have been the foundation to drawing in some epic franchises into the MCU.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain Marvel was a movie. Yes that is a fact. Brie Larson portrayed Captain Marvel in the movie another fact. Samuel L Jackson was in the movie as Nick Fury my last fact. Now let us move on to opinions. From the opening scene of Captain Marvel to the closing credits the emotional ride was stagnant. There were moments of action and levity but at no point did I feel that there was any real struggle or worry about the outcome. This I believe is due to the knowledge that this picture was taking place in the past and the characters that make appearances in the film and appear in movies later in the timeline ment that nothing terrible would happen to them. As differing characters make their way on screen and are recognized fore knowledge takes away from this story. This makes the tension in some scenes forced and unbelievable. There is very little worry that a character’s life or existence is at risk because I know they will be in the same position or present in Avengers or Iron-man or Maybe in a chronological viewing of the MCU you could argue that an individual with no prior knowledge of the story ars or their players would have greater enjoyment viewing the film. Unfortunately for the majority of fans seeing this film whether they admit it or not the risk vs reward is just not there.
The character of Carol Danvirs is a very good character in the comics with a rich back story and internal struggle for who she was is and wants to be. The depiction we get in the movie is a very watered down version that never makes me root for her to overcome the bad guys. I do not blame Brie Larson for this entirely a lot of the blame falls on the pedestrian character development and dialogue written for her to work with. Now had she spent a weekend researching the character and tried to work the back story and wealth of character development into her portrayal I am sure that we would have had a better reception from audiences. SPOILERS BELOW.

The story of how she was rescued by the Kree and the Kree nursed her back to health and she has no memories of her prior existence along with the, I guess we can call it a, neural inhibitor had me scratching my head. The source material puts Captain Mar-vell as a scout to see about the technology level of the planet and he protects the planet then blood transfusion to Carol and wham bam she has super powers. In the film she obtains the power from the cosmic cube (tesseract) via a light speed engine explosion built by a renegade Kree scientist trying to end the Kree-Skrull war. While the Kree are the true villains of the film we are led down a rabbit hole where the Skrulls are the aggressors. This flies in the face of sixty years of cannon in the Marvel Universe. The appearance of Ronan and his attack against the earth that Carol defeated by playing Missile Command. This one sequence was absolutely enjoyable and whomever pitched the idea deserves a raise. Let's now talk about the cat. Just cause it looks like a cat don't mean it is a cat. Today it's a Flerkin what the heck is a flerkin well cross a tabby cthulu and a pocket dimension and you get a Flerkin. Goose, the Flerkin, is adorable and the kinship with Nick Fury is great. And now we know what took Nick's eye.
Agent Coulson was disappointing and I love both the character and Clark Gregg. How such a monumental experience involving the skulls and the kree how was he clueless in Agents of shield? The continuity of the characters knowledge is broken by this movie but ok I can accept that minor issue.

So over all I would recommend people to watch this film. Hate Brie Larson if you want but I am a believer that the MCU draws from the previous movies. If you didn't watch Black Panther and had little knowledge of the Marvel canon Infinity War would be confusing as hell. So go watch this knowing it matters for the end of the Avengers storyline. So movie as a standalone film sucked but it is needed for the overarching story we have been experiencing for 10 years.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain Average:*Contains Spoilers*

This movie suffers from a lack of character development and a lackluster performance by Brie Larson. I feel the feminist agenda was over blown by the media, while there are a lot of feminist undertones in the movie the only one that really takes you out of the movie is the musical score, you have TLC, Spice Girls, No Doubt, Garbage and many more female bands which definitely makes it feel forced in that aspect. I don't think any of this would've been an issue if Larson and the media didn't tout the movie as such. I'm pretty sure Brie Larson forgot how to act in this movie, she's rigid, looks cold and disinterested and moves extremely stiff in the majority of the movie. This is distracting because I became fixated on her posture and facial expressions (or lack thereof) because I wanted to see emotions when situations would get thrown at her. Larson handled every adversity by standing up, after getting knocked down numerous times, giving the same "blue steel" look and overcame it. Her best scenes were when she and Jackson were playing off each other and they actually looked like they wanted to be in the movie.

This lackluster performance by Larson creates the biggest fault in the whole movie. Her lack of any emotion, facial or body, creates a problem when you see her dealing with her past and interactions with other characters including her enemies. I never could feel empathy towards her character, I couldn't feel what she was going through when she kept watching her role model die in dreams and even when she finally remembered how it all happened. The issue with her not showing any emotion is I never see that character grow and I might as well have been watching a terminator in the role of Marvel. This movie tells you Marvel is a strong woman by standing up multiple times after being told she couldn't do it (I think every time was by a man)and having that "blue steel" look on her face and then doing it. Without giving Marvel any emotions her character is never seen as weak, frustrated, mad or sad there's nothing to connect the audience to and it really kills the whole movie because as an audience member, how am I or anyone supposed to root or feel excited when we're watching and not feeling any dread of how is she going to get through this when you know exactly what she's going to do: stand up, give that blank expression and win.

I don't feel that overall this movie is bad, it's average with it's story and it needed more goose killing baddies for sure. The supporting cast with Jackson and Mendelson make up for quite a lot of flaws. Fighting was average at best as well as were most of the action scenes, I do think that the best fight scene was at the beginning with Vers and Rogg sparring. The story behind Jackson losing his eye and how he came up with the name Avengers was extremely disrespectful to Fury's character and the rest of the Avengers that have made this universe what it is today. This movie added little to the overall Infinity story and you could just feel this character was forced into the MCU for whatever reason and is trying to fill a few plot holes. If you are wanting to know how it ties into Endgame: she answers the "communicator" and meets up with the Avengers that are left. You're welcome as I just saved you 10-15 bucks on a ticket. I would not be at all surprised if this movie is on Netflix in 3 months.… Expand

keeping me entertained.
After sitting through for almost a 2 hour movie, i was still puzzled and a little confused on
captain marvel's personality. Lots of time i find her lack of expression and stoic face unnatural.
I kid you not, i was under the impression that captain marvel was for the most parts constantly
'aware' of the camera presence while shooting if you know what i mean. If any case, her
expression left me feeling odd.
On a side note, i did like some humor brought by the film such as the cat. Action however was
not as CG packed like other recent marvel movies. Was it because this is set in a retro time?
I'm unclear.. The action part wasn't exciting to keep my adrenaline pumping. Nevertheless, the
movie is still a decent one but not great.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BL really lacked charisma in this movie. When I first saw Iron Man, I could not imagine anyone else playing TS. When I first saw Thor I couldn't fathom another actor other than CH playing the Norse warrior. Same with Cap, and every other amazing casting choice. But in this movie, I could easily think of 5 actresses who could've embodied the role as well or better. As for the first half of the movie--it's so darkly lit I couldn't make out a lot of detail. Her story arc of trying to find and remember her identity seemed disjointed and jangly. The problem with this plot device occurred to me half way through: WE ALREADY KNOW WHO SHE IS. SO, we didn't go on the journey with her.
At the end, she finally realizes she is SUPER, SUPER powered and invincible and can breathe in space and can destroy starships by flying through them and astonishingly doesn't destroy the rest of the bad guys and faces no real threat. Thus, she literally has no where to go because not only has she broken the glass ceiling, she apparently has reached the ceiling of her potential all in one movie. I felt that the weight of expectations was too great, the pillars all broke and the movie crashed in under the gravity of its own promise. But maybe I'll like it more on Blue Ray. As far as shoehorning her into End Game, I GENUINELY HOPE THEY DON"T EVEN THINK ABOUT LETTING HER SAVE THE DAY. The only ones who should avenge Thanos are the AVENGERS, AND NO ONE ELSE.… Expand

I saw this movie expecting it to be just average, and I was still disappointed. It could have been done on Marvel's auto-pilot script writer, had nothing stand out and it would have at least been forgivable at that point. However, that wasI saw this movie expecting it to be just average, and I was still disappointed. It could have been done on Marvel's auto-pilot script writer, had nothing stand out and it would have at least been forgivable at that point. However, that was not the case. There are multiple plot holes introduced into the greater Marvel universe now as a result of events in this movie. Completely unnecessary ones at that. Rather than rant about what I disliked specifically, here are some pros & cons.

Pros -
Nick Fury (Always good)
Jude Law (He was OK)

Cons -
Brie Larson. Captain Marvel's character was completely flat, nothing interesting about her as a person whatsoever. They could have cast almost anyone else and it would have been better. I've never disliked her in other movies, but she just really fell short here. At first I thought maybe the writing for her was just not great, but I was able to picture black-widow or scarlet witch saying the same things and coming across much better.

Plot holes. I'd rather not list them specifically for the sake of spoilers, but they are numerous and significant.

Over-the-top pandering. The SJW vs. anti-SJW stuff aside, there were just too many moments in this movie that are just not realistic to how normal people behave that were inserted just for the sake of what was clearly their agenda for the movie as a whole. The song "Just a girl" was completely out of place in the last fight scene as well, especially since there were heavy stakes at that moment. It was just silly. Awful CGI at time. Most of the CGI was great, as is standard for a marvel movie, but anytime Captain Marvel went full CGI, it was terrible. There was also a scene where they enter zero-G and her hair floats that looks atrocious.

Argh.. I'm seriously worried about Endgame as a result of this movie. Hopefully that "2 cuts" rumor turns out to be true and they use the second one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just boring. Don't really feel like explaining all of it so I'll just post a few criticisms I put from facebook. The amnesia just comes off as a way to expand the runtime. The second she remembers everything she just one shots all the villains, their missiles, their ships, makes me feel like I had spent 2 hours for nothing. During so many moments it felt like they were trying for hero moments but fell flat and they do this multiple times. Such as when she first gets her suit colored and she stands there awkwardly for a second or when she first flies she does a "WOHOOO" (TWICE) or even when she unlocks her powers and she stands in front of the others with effects that look like they came from the CW. During the duration of the movie there are so many "jokes" that just made me sigh. Like the "cockpit" comment or the "smile" scene with the biker it's just little **** that isn't necessary and were put there for the sole purpose of her being validated as a woman. None of that is necessary, her being a powerful heroine speaks for itself they don't need this constant vindication where she upstages everybody to make her look badass. Also Brie did NOT do a good job acting, I maybe could see if somebody was zoned out they might not notice but so many lines felt unnatural, especially the one liners and most of the jokes. There was one scene with Fury where Carol was laughing then the camera cuts to a new angle and she has a blank expression it's really distracting. That's just a couple criticisms there are a lot more but you get the idea, I didn't like it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Easily the worst MCU movie I have seen to date. The plot was weak and full of holes, the humour felt forced and immature, the CGI was good but for 2 instances, the music was inserted in strange places and the editing was choppy. Larson's acting, in particular, was unconvincing and fake - there was far too much smirking and posturing, and far too little acting. In many instances it felt like I was watching her doing a skit of Captain Marvel on SNL rather than playing a lead role in a multi-million dollar movie. Her entire motivation for fighting also appears to centre around herself - unlike literally all the other Avengers who fight for something bigger than them (protecting their loved ones, freedom, justice, responsibility etc, which is the essence of a hero).

There were plot holes aplenty. She stated that Skrulls can't do photon blasts, so she would know it's a unique power. So then, if she was the only individual able to shoot photon blasts in ALL of Hala/Kree galaxy (indeed, the ONLY ONE we saw who had special powers), why didn't she even question that once? Then she crash-landed on earth, as an alien soldier, and started smirking at the first alien law enforcement officer she saw? Without questioning why this alien was the same biological type as her? And didn't she JUST join the Kree army? Why, then, is she part of a group of "Noble Hero Warriors"? What, if anything, makes her noble or heroic? And why did Nick Fury divulge all that information to an alien soldier at the drop of a dime? He's not exactly so stupid or 'new' to make such an obvious mistake - he's a full bird colonel with years of experience as a spy, so he'd know it wasn't like Vers would know if the information was true or not. And didn't Vers already say Skrulls can assimilate RECENT information? So why all that history into his career? If this was just the writers' attempt to tell us more about Nick Fury, it was lazy as hell.

I also took issue with changing the Skrulls into refugees when the story for a planet-wide shape-shifting invasion held so much more potential for writing and fight scenes. I thought, with brief delight, that it'd be like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, but nope, it was nowhere close to that.

And there was no "big baddie" - in the "climactic" third act, Ronan shot missiles, which were destroyed in seconds, then sent some fighter ships, which were destroyed in a minute or so, and then he fled. Yon-rogg (armed with a pistol and shield and NO SUPERPOWERS) was taken out with one photon blast after a ridiculous monologue. And not to mention the fact that Vers gets her power from a light-speed engine powered by the Tesseract, which means she should be no more powerful than Scarlet Witch, who is given her powers by the Mind Stone, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

All in all, the movie just felt flat and ultimately, forgettable. I really hope she won't play a significant part in Endgame - just looking at the end credits and seeing the MCU stalwarts' gravitas contrasted with her mediocre, half-mocking performance had me desperately hoping the MCU wouldn't mutilate their final act with this travesty.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Other than the special-effects and costumes, this movie was terrible. The only good actor in the movie was Jude Law. Brie Larson is terrible as Captain Marvel. Her acting is horrible and she has no charisma. She came off like an irritated feminist the entire time. They were so many “men are dumb” jokes in the movie that it became annoying. The only reason Samuel L. Jackson was in the film was to be the comic relief. The way he loses his eye is stupid as well. It’s sad that the nobody-of-a-character is pegged to be the most powerful superhero in the Marvel universe and we will undoubtably be seeing more of her in the future. Phase 3 of Marvel’s movie franchise looks like it’s going to be a real dud. First Lucasfilm allowed Disney to ruin The Last Jedi with its social justice warrior politics. Now Marvel is going to let Disney do it to them too with Captain Marvel.… Expand

Larson is carried by better performances by better actors and actresses throughout the movie. She is emotionless for most of the movie and basically phones in the performance. What bother's me more then the acting is the absolute disrespect to the source material and the MCU as a whole. It's enough of an action flick that the kids will love it, but for an adult who was a fan of comics from marvel in their youth, they will feel insulted by this sham of a movie. Disney has trouble on their hands if this is the path they are taking the MCU down because they will lose most of their fan base in the process. My only prayer is that they do not do the same stunts that they did in this movie, in upcoming Avengers: Endgame.… Expand

Larsen looks robotic and emotionless throughout the film. Her delivery is lifeless and humorless. The movie, overall, is muddled, slow, predictable, uninspired, and forgettable.

One of the worst films I've ever seen. Truly terrible. I would have left half-way through it, but was with friends so I would grin and bare it until the end. I'll never get that time back.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Movie is one of the worst MCU movies. The highlight of the movie was the Intro and Ben Mendelsson. In my opinion what captain marvel did to nick fury is the same what the last Jedi did to Luke Skywalker. This movie made me view the old MCU movies and the new movies in I totally different light. The epicnes and myth of Fury is totally gone. When I watch an MCU movie again he is for me no more the guy he was before in the movies. All of you who wanna see the movie go ahead and watch it and build your own opinion. The excitement to see endgame after that movie dropped low. I hope for best and looking forward to Shazam.… Expand

This movie is the worst movie in all of Marvel, Disney and cinematic history. It's just a propaganda film funded by the DOD. They need to get you to enlist in preparation for WWW3. Please do yourself a favor and boycott this film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A bland movie that could have been at least passable, if not for the overt "subliminal" messages about Carol Danvers learning how all the men in her life are controlling her. This actress DOES NOT deserve to take over for Captain America, she deserves to be replaced by a good actress and a writer that cares about the character they are writing, not the identity politics their echo chamber wants to push.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brie Larson only smiles a couple of times in the movie and I actually like those few moments, unfortunately the direction must have been for her to have a stick up her ass for the rest of the movie though. This movie will "Empower" those few individuals in the universe who have a magical engine blow up and give them magical powers. Conflating the Skrull with the world's Refugee problem won't stop a single wall from being built; Jude Law could have been replaced by a "male" robot, his character was terrible and should have been called male oppressor 01; A movie this boring doesn't warrant all the attention it's getting.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When Gal Gadot stepped on screen as Wonder Woman, it felt like a step forward having a female being the star super hero . The Wonder Woman movie had heart, comedy, action, and the dialogue felt natural. Audience members could feel themselves caring about the storyline and characters. This movie , Captain Marvel, seems like a step back. The dialogue feels forced, the plot can get confusing (trying to steal a page from the Matrix playbook where the characters question what is real)..and I personally didn't care much for the laser gun action sequences. It is expected that in a super hero movie, there will be some cartoonish type action, but I feel like Disney has damaged the super hero genre ..just like many people feel that Disney dropped the ball with a certain recent Star Wars theme movie. This feels more like a film that could have gone straight to dvd instead of a film that has earned $1 billion . Hopefully, this is not an indication of the type of movie we will see with Avengers Endgame.… Expand

I will not go deep into this movie since everything in it is a disaster. It's a pity that only Jackson and Bening can be "partially" saved from this chaos.
