Non-Comic Book Movie Fan's Opinion

Rating: 6/10 (29 March 2019)

**Rating:** 7/10
**Positive Points:**
The action is mostly well shot and interesting, the comedy actually got quite a few chuckles out of me, the CGI that did look good looked great and the parts of the story that weren't directly related to her origin were pretty good. Samuel L Jackson is great as always and the effects used to make him look younger are great. Also the film takes place in the 90's but it's not shoved down your throat and the time period actually adds obstacles to the plot, which is interesting. The guy playing the head Skrull is pretty funny and well acted as well. I'm also pretty glad how they integrated the feminist side. It wasn't as shoved down your throat as I was expecting, which is relieving. Finally, the movie is only 2 hours instead of 2 and 1/2 which I like.
**Negative Points:**
Brie Larson's performance is very inconsistent. The only part she's actually good at is whenever she makes a snarky or sarcastic comment. When she's trying to be serious and dramatic, she's not as good. The way she gets her powers is really dumb in my opinion. I won't reveal it for spoiler purposes. There were quite a few moments that made me groan. Especially one big one towards the end. Some of the effects are pretty bad, but they're pretty quick moments and aren't super distracting. Finally, I wasn't a huge fan of what her main arc amounted to. It's almost like they didn't know how to end it, so they were just like "uhhhh....laser"
**Final Verdict: **
While I don't have many other Marvel movies to compare it to, on its own, it's pretty average. It's not a bad time, but don't expect anything mind blowing.
