Good and enjoyable MCU film

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2019)

Going into this movie, I was open to whatever the film was going to offer. The reviews online didn't have an effect on me because it was very biased. After seeing the movie myself, I can say that this is a fun movie but not one that would rank high in the MCU. Brie Larson does a good job with what she's given and leaves me wanting more which we'll get in Endgame. Samuel L. Jackson gives my favorite performance of his in the MCU. Fury in this movie is more relatable and inexperienced which allows us the viewers to see growth throughout the movie. Ben Mendelsohn and Jude Law are also great in their roles. Mendelsohn's performance is able to solidify Talos as another great villain. The action scenes are fine but there's a lot left to be desired. They feel very plain and have no style or intensity. However, seeing Captain Marvel in her true glory was amazing and it leaves you believing that she could definitely help the Avengers. The story is also fine in that it's nothing groundbreaking but watchable. I feel this movie does its best when it's cracking jokes and being a buddy cop movie with Fury and Danvers. The references to the future of the MCU were also nice as it gives longtime fans something back after the countless hours they've spent in this universe. Overall, Captain Marvel is a good time at the movies and deserves at least a watch for yourself.
