Good movie, could be better with a few small adjustments

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2019)

I saw captain marvel at the pre-premier screening, at which point it had an imdb rating of 5.6 which was pretty alarming, even despite the controversies surrounding it.
I am happy to report though that the movie overall was very enjoyable, but I had a few issues with it, which in my opinion could have been quite easily and seamlessly rectified.
Firstly, it almost seemed like they were afraid of giving Captain Marvel ANY weaknesses or vulnerable moments, which made her lose out on character, which in my eyes couldn't even really be compensated for by Brie Larson's talent/performance.
And secondly, I wasn't really okay with how the script handled Fury losing his eye (not really a spoiler) as it was hinted and teased masterfully before and through the movie, but the actual "accident(?)" fell a bit flat and way too random/gratuitous.
Now that we have what I considered as negatives out of the way, what made up for any eventual grievances for me was Samuel L. Jackson's performance (Both CGI and acting) and their amazing on screen chemistry with Brie Larson.
Also the pet was a hilarious addition to the film and really made it a great movie in my eyes.
I saw it in 3D which I can recommend, but in any format surely worth the price of a ticket or two.
