THE SUPREME OPPOSITE OF VENOM!

Rating: 5/10 (9 March 2019)

While Wonder Woman seems like a more obvious comparison, Venom feels a bit better for this movie. Venom starts off rough and hits its stride. Captain Marvel, on the other hand, starts pretty good and loses its stride. The story at first has lot of twists and turns, but those get ironed out with an almost complete 180 that messes up the rest of the film. Also, you know that moment in Solo: A Star Wars Story where it gives Han's name a pointless origin story? This movie has at least 2 moments like that. Credit where it's due, Larson is good with what she's given, Samuel L. Jackson is good as always, and the film has some good jokes here and there, but those factors are drug down by a convoluted story. While the film didn't get too much help from advertisements, it isn't the awesome film people were hoping for. Overall the film is fun but bland. I will definitely see it again if only for the fact that there was a toddler behind me that talked through the entire movie.
