50/50... Some Good Qualities, and Some Bad.

Rating: 5/10 (24 August 2019)

What can I say...?
Honestly, It was like watching a mix of a Men in Black film with Clueless.
I was really hoping a for a little more out of this film, and it just deliver. That being said... I did enjoy seeing a lot more of a leading role from Nick Fury (Samual L. Jackson) rather than just the glimpses we get of him throughout the majority of the Marvel franchise. I also thought that Brie Larson did an amazing job at playing Captain Marvel.
The problem with this film was all in the writing. It really felt like Marvel just needed to introduce Captain Marvel to us before Avengers: Endgame was released, and this was a thrown together attempt at doing so. She really does shine in Endgame, but to really show the awesomeness of Captain Marvel she needs to be among other superheroes. Captain Marvel is the obvious Superman of the Marvel universe and really exists to be the baddest of all the superheroes. Alongside others you can really see how much she shines at that; however, alone in her own storyline... the whole idea just doesn't work as well. It seemed like the writers at Marvel tried to rely on humor to get past this, but it just didn't give me what I was seeking from this film.
As far as whether or not you need to see this before Endgame... I would say no. Nevertheless, I would. It did introduce us to Captain Marvel, and that was the point in the film. It also really makes the viewer appreciate her that much more in Endgame.
I sadly had to give this film 5 out of 10.
