Cut it some slack, it's for kids!

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2019)

Today I saw Captain Marvel and before viewing it, I was hastily preparing myself for what I thought would be the worst superhero movie in years. While it was probably the weakest link in the long line of MCU movies, it was still a decent popcorn flick. The characters themselves were charming, but very bland. Even our cute blonde heroine came across quite dull. A lot of the story also retconned a lot of cool moments and rendered them quite silly and even disappointing. The film itself also felt less like a Marvel movie and much more like a very expensive and very long episode of Power Rangers. The good thing to note, however, is that the film had a good message, had solid entertainment, and amazing eye candy. Captain Marvel probably won't win over a ton of fans, but it will definitely impress its target audience: kids. People need to stop being butthurt and notice that this is a kids movie and it was meant to entertain kids and young teens. It's definitely not the best in Marvel's roster, but it's still fun for the most part.
