Very good, it's entertaining. I like the story that entails 'Captain Marvel'. It's possibly not told in the most incredible way, but by the end I did enjoy how it unfolded and connected to what we've seen recently in the MCU. Brie Larson is pleasant in the lead role, a tad wooden in parts but overall I rate what she gives this film. It's cool to have Samuel L. Jackson's character get a deeper dive and bigger screen time than usual. I also liked Ben Mendelsohn as Talos. Other cast members, like Jude Law, are fine if forgettable. Everything else about this is basically what you'd normally get from an MCU production: strong action, great effects, solid humour and an interesting plot. This 21st film from the universe is a good'un!
Well.... ....We have seen this before. The word "rehashing" has been thrown around a lot in some reviews, but really it's like a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy on a cheap circa early 80 copy machine. You've seen it before when it was a lot better. The good news, I suppose, is that the trailers were honest, Brie Larson is honestly doing her best to imitate a block of wood and is just as animated and believable as a super hero. And Sam Jackson, digitally younger, is still too old to do the required action scenes as evident by the enormous amount of cuts it takes to make it vaguely resemble actual action. However, he still manages to outshine Larson in the action department. And, of course, nothing could improve it more than a killer soundtrack. Unfortunately Captain Marvel only manages to produce a cringey soundtrack and I has always been a No Doubt fan (at least until 2000'sReturn of Saturn). But the good news is they did reduce the transparent political posturing to a minimum (compared to what people had thought) but even then it is still far more than you'd get with better super hero moves *cough*Wonder Woman*cough*
Ok movie where she fights aliens and humans. They could have made more sense of the story. Captain Marvel was a man back then not a woman too.
Help, woke lobbyists took-over Marvel
Captain Marvel (2019) was an interesting watch, but it didn't fully hit the mark for me. The plot felt like it was trying to do too much at once, juggling an origin story, cosmic warfare, and humor without giving enough time to really develop Carol Danvers as a character. Instead of making me care about her journey, the movie just told me she was powerful and expected that to be enough. There were definitely some cool moments, but the pacing was uneven, with scenes that dragged and others that felt rushed. The directing was solid in terms of keeping things visually engaging, but it lacked the depth needed to make the emotional beats land. The cinematography was well done, especially in the action sequences, but at times it felt like the movie was trying too hard to make every scene look flashy instead of focusing on storytelling. The performances were a mixed bag, Samuel L. Jackson carried a lot of the energy, and the supporting cast did well, but Brie Larson's portrayal of Carol felt distant, which made it hard to connect with her character. The script didn't help much either, relying more on quippy one-liners and exposition rather than giving the characters room to breathe. The sound design and score were decent but not particularly memorable. The music choices leaned heavily on nostalgia, which worked in some moments but felt forced in others. Action sequences had a good rhythm thanks to the sound design, but overall, the movie lacked a distinct musical identity. While Captain Marvel had its highlights, it felt more like a checklist of MCU requirements than a truly compelling superhero film. It's entertaining enough, but it doesn't leave much of a lasting impact.
the story felt kinda flat and at times kinda confusing. the character development was meh, it didn't feel like the protagonist struggled or improved before unlocking her powers...
