Summary

Reviewers say 'Captain Marvel' is lauded for its action, effects, and Brie Larson's performance, though some find her character underdeveloped. Feminist themes spark debate, with mixed opinions on their execution. Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury is a highlight, but pacing, plot inconsistencies, and 90s nostalgia are criticized. The protagonist's lack of flaws and generic elements are noted. Despite mixed reception, it's deemed crucial for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Women power

Fantastic character buildup typical of Marvel.... Captain Marvel is a better version of Wonder woman in a parallel universe.. The movie had the best introduction scenes what most superhero lack..

Great movie to see. Glad Stan Lee had the normal cameo

Saw the movie a couple of hours ago. It was was a little bit hard to follow the story early on. Once it got going it made sense and the story behind Carol Danvers was great. It didn't feel like a Marvel movie as the others imo but after endgame it will be a changing of the guard anyways. Go see it.

Dont Be judgemental !

First of i just want to make it clear that this movie is probably the best origin movie in MCU and i dont know why exaclty everybody is saying that the plot is rubbish as well as brie's performance i mean as an origin movie goes it is better than thor wonder woman aquaman and captain amerika. and as to brie's acting she was marvelous thats all that. Even though there were some downers with the movie ( not going to spoil anything ) but as the whole movie goes it worked and was AMAZING.

Good Marvel's Origin

I liked this film.I was not bored while watching it. I liked Brie Larson's acting.So I don't see any causes to hate this movie. In my humble opinion, it's typical Marvel's origin. Typical, but not bad . It is funny, exited and interesting origin. Samuel L. Jackson is the icing on the cake. So charismatic. My rate is 9/10, ant i think that is well-deserved.

Trivia
Stan Lee passed away while the film was being edited. As a result, Marvel Studios put together the special opening logo to honor him.

Goofs
The plot centers around a light-speed engine that would be of immense value to one of the alien races given how fast it will allow them to travel through space. Their method of travel, however, is already drastically faster than light speed. Utilizing this engine would actually slow them down considerably.

This could have been made clearer in the movie, but the FTL travel used by the Kree is a network of "jump points", essentially stable wormholes. This is the same method used in both Guardians films. The jump points exist in fixed locations and lead to other fixed locations, and their distribution is irregular. The lightspeed engine described in the film would presumably permit travel at lightspeed (or faster) directly rather than by means of jump points. This would enable trips to places that might not be readily reachable by jumps, and therefore would make a ship with such an engine much harder to track and follow for someone without such an engine.

Quotes
Nick Fury: You know anything about a lady blowing up a Blockbuster? Witnesses say she was dressed for laser tag.

Crazy credits
As this is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film released after Stan Lee's death, the Marvel Studios logo features images and clips of Lee's cameos and comes with a message: "THANK YOU STAN".
