Spectacularly Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (11 March 2019)

You're watching this to get an idea of the Captain Marvel character before she swoops in in The Avengers: Endgame. She must be pretty awesome if she's a last resort against Thanos right? Wrong. This film was bland, boring and the character unconvincing. I have never walked out on a film in my life but for the first time I understood what it felt like to want to do so.
The plot is uninteresting and won't make detailed sense except to the fans who have read much into the lore of the Marvel Universe. There is no clear explanation of what Captain Marvel's powers actually are, her origin story is boring and uninspired, and at times the soundtrack placement is just plain wrong. This film completely kills the flow set in motion by the MCU over the past year.
If this wasn't a Marvel film, people would be a lot less forgiving.
Give it a miss, but only watch it if you want to be somewhat more clued in (but not much) before Avengers: Endgame.
