Too hyped

Rating: 6/10 (7 March 2019)

Captain Marvel is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. This movie is set during the 1990's and tells the soptory of Carol Danvers discovering who she really is. This movie looked very good from the trailers and looked like a promising female superhero that would do well as a stand-alone origin movie.
Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson have great chemistry together, and seemed to work well. Their relationship as Danvers and Fury worked well, and both of them acted well, although I thought Brie Larson's acting for the first act could've been better.
The film has amazing visuals, as always. The CGI for Fury and Colusons de aging was perfect. I couldn't tell it was CGI, I thought it was make up all along. The space visuals were very good as always.
The action sequences were good for the most part, although could've been much better crafted.
This film suffered from it's script I think. The story wasn't the most engaging, it didn't appeal with the audience as well as it should've. The dialogue wasn't the best either, especially during the first act. It felt wooden and cheesy, even when Larson delivered her lines.
I also think it could've been directed much better. The movie could've been a whole lot better if the directorial style was changed. Sequences would've been more thrilling, the acting much better, and the emotion that the movie was trying to portray would've been more impacting. The whole film, bar a couple of scenes, felt really boring. The pacing of the first act was very slow. While some scenes were enjoying to watch, and the humour was good, it felt boring, and didn't interest me. Part of this, I think, is to due with the release of Avengers: Endgame, which is next month. Everyone is hyped up for that film, hence why this one is falling.
To conclude, Captain Marvel is a visual stunning film, with a few enjoyable scenes, good acting, and good humour, but with the writing and directing dropping, it can be very slow to get into at first.
Overall: 6/10
