Captain Marvel

Was this your typical marvel movie? Of course it was. I made a mistake reading the reviews on here before heading to the theater and expected to hate Brie Larson. I was pleasantly surprised and thought she was great- she made jokes, she was a bit snarky, she smiled and was an all around enjoyable character and her and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury were a good pair. I really don't know what everyone was expecting, it's a Marvel superhero movie.

Captain Marvel was cool. I think most of all fans expect a large expensive avengers movie. Dude it was only the first movie from Denvers. And it was cool. Love the stan lee intro and the cat (the real hero).

This movie was GREAT! Loved seeing a powerful, female superhero for once that wasn't gawked at for her "beauty". That was the reason I disliked the Wonder Woman movie so much. It was too based on how gorgeous she was instead of what a bada** she was. I thought Brie Larson did a great job and I am so excited to see what she does in End Game! People gripe about her banter, but Tony Stark does the same thing and is well-liked. I thought it added to the character in a positive way and definitely had a few laughs. This was an origin movie and people are upset that she was unstoppable. That's the power they need when it comes to beating Thanos. I'm hoping this woman saves the UNIVERSE! #captainmarvel #girlpower

Captain Marvel delivers as an origin story. Origin stories tend to follow a formula because of their very nature. They introduce a superhero character and so generally spend more time in developing the lead than a movie otherwise would. This sometimes leaves a less developed good guy-bad guy story line in the movie making it feel almost like an after thought, and the most banal way possible to showcase the superhero's powers and budding confidence. Captain Marvel takes what it can from this trite structure, and makes it fun and enjoyable.

Brie Larson acts the lovable superhero to perfection but perhaps the best part of the movie is Fury. The movie in some ways encapsulates a smaller origin story for Nick Fury and the Avengers. We get to see a lighter side to Fury as he banters with Carol Danvers across the film. The cat, however, drew the most laughs from my fellow audience-goers. I loved the whole 90's Top Gun vibe in the movie as well. Also, damn, Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel does not pull any punches. You get in her way, you are getting smacked down stat!

Don't miss the movie and do stay for the two end-credit scenes - the end game is near!

If your a fan of the mcu then you'll love this new installment to the amazing franchise. Just leaves you wanting to see more. Bring on Endgame !
