Captain Marvel, the movie that could have been so much more...

Rating: 3/10 (7 March 2019)

Sorry, Marvel, but this ain't the superheroine's origin story like DC's Wonder Woman that we have all been waiting for.
The movie suffers from lack of the typical heroic story arc, bad editing, amateur directing, cliche lines. It could have been a great movie if they have not reduced the main character into a punch-my-way-through-everything kind of heroine. Even the Hulk's origin story was much more interesting.
One of the few good things about the movie include an underlying message for girls to get back up on their feet again when they fall. But it was a weak message, when it was overpowered by too many CGI action scenes. There is a lack of a foil for Carol's character. The movie could have been so much more...but since Disney handled the movie, there was no mention of Captain Marvel's dark past in the comics, including the fact that she was a rape victim, and all...
Is this why Marvel has avoided making an origin story of Black Widow????
For a superheroine movie to not have feminist undertones is a crime these days, but so is one that has decided to avoid altogether issues and experiences of women in that decade (1980s and 1990s)
