Family Fun/Connective Tissue for the MCU

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2019)

My family and I felt it was actioned packed and funny! Captain Marvel provided the appropriate link between Agents of SHIELD/Guardians of the Galaxy/Infinity War. Also, a good tie-in for End Game.
Brie Larson's performance I felt was played appropriately strong, humorous, and balanced. In my opinion she had this ever-present collectiveness about her character (very Jedi-like), even though her emotions are part of her strength and power. This is as very military persona she portrayed, which was in line with both halves of her character (USAF/Kree).
Samuel L. Jackson's performance was superb. I believe all audiences had been waiting to see Fury's early years and steps towards leaders of SHIELD.
Lashana Lynch's performance was outstanding and provided the grounded-reality to the movie. Her emotional scenes with both Larson and Akira Akbar are powerful...bringing the emotional spark and connection to the film. She also delivered strong leadership in crisis situations.
Ben Mendelsohn continues to deliver strong villain performances; however, I was pleasantly surprised with the turn of his character through the film. Mendelsohn's emotional range provided the perfect package for Talos.
