Captain Marvel

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..

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!

Thoroughly enjoyed it enough to see it twice. Great action and character development

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.

I walked in with my doubts about this movie. While it wasn't the best Marvel movie it certainly wasn't as horrible as people said. I thought it was amazing! Brie Larson as Captain Marvel was a great choice of casting and the movie touched on some relevant issues without adding cliches and remaining humorous. Don't listen to all the trolls on the internet, see it for yourself. You'll definitely be entertained.
