Takes me back to the first Avengers

Rating: 6/10 (27 April 2019)

While still filled with typical Marvel cliches, cheesiness, and vanity, this new instalment of the MCU is certainly a lot better than any of the previous Marvel Movies coming before it. It has a clearer narrative focus, with conflicts and struggles being a lot more interesting and engaging because of the well defined and established character goals. It still could have been a lot better though
For example: the entirety of Natasha's sacrifice for the soul stone could have been a lot more impactful and sad had her connections with the Avengers and how her hero works had been changing her characters be more clearly shown. In fact, while we already have Clint's friendship with her bring her death that much more impactful, to me, it would also be a character defining moment for Hawkeye as well if we were shown their history back with Shield.
Lastly, Captain Marvel spent most of the movie either being useless or a deux ex machina. Her existence in this movie could be snapped away and nothing would have change.
65/100
