Enjoyed it a lot

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2019)

I really enjoyed watching this movie and I've seen quite a lot of superhero action movies over the past ten years and more.
Right at the beginning, there is a nice hommage to Stan Lee and there is also a cameo later.
The protagonist is a strong and sympathetic character and she is played really well by Brie Larson. Like most other superheroes her main choice of problem solving is by violent means but in between her actions also hints at the powerful message to never give up and stand up again (and again) no matter what odds are against you.
She is accompanied by some other strong characters too, i.e. she gets joined by Nick Fury. The setting is in 1995, so here we see a younger Nick Fury and also Agent Coulson, both already working for S.H.I.E.L.D yet in different positions than later. We also get a soundtrack full of hits of the Nineties, like Nirvana, Garbage, TLC and others. The original soundtrack was not overwhelming yet okay. If you see the movie, wait until the end to see two short extra scenes, one of them hinting at "Marvel's The Avengers: Endgame"
I won't tell anything about the plot in order to avoid spoilers. The weaknesses I see in the movie are these two:
1. One might argue that Captain Marvel is so powerful that she seems a bit like a Mary Sue. However she has at least one flaw, because she often looses her temper quite quickly and has problem controlling her powers and her impulses, at least at the beginning. Maybe another or a different character flaw would have been a good idea yet I don't how the character is presented in the comics. Maybe she is just meant to be so powerful and with little flaws - and I can completely live with that.
2. Due to a lot of flashbacks the structure of a story seems a bit like a puzzle. The story keeps going back and forth in time which makes it a bit difficult to watch at some points especially because you keep wondering what is going on - like the protagonist does as well. However, finally everything falls into place when the plot twist is revealed and the action is heading to the showdown.
