Captain Marvel
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 78%
My Score (out of 5): **
I feel this will be an unpopular placement/rating but allow me to explain.
First let me just say I am a giant MCU fan and just Marvel I'm general. At times I would even say I'm a sheep. They could just release a video of Chris Evans pissing and I would call it a masterpiece.
Secondly, while I have a bias of liking MCU movies I also have a bias of hating Brie Larson movies. I find her delivery always flat and boring (Jennifer Lawrence too but on a smaller scale) except for The Room, great movie.
Now, to the movie. When I saw Captain Marvel was coming to the MCU I was excited but hesitant. We knew whoever was going to be the "savior" from Thanos was more then likely going to be shoved down our throats and OP.
Unfortunately, this movie was over 2 hours long and I felt every second. Brie Larson was dry and the story was so messy. Never once did I feel there were any stakes or that CM would get beaten down. I disagree that she was a Mary Sue as many claim but she was damn close.
In a franchise full of movies like Winter Soldier, Iron Man, and GOTG this felt like a let down.
MY STAR CRITERIA:
***** - Absolutely phenomenal, near-flawless or flawless.
**** - Fantastic
*** - It's fine
** - Meh
* - Bad
0 - God awful, what the hell???
