Interesting but so many missed opportunities

Rating: 6/10 (8 March 2019)

I liked the casting of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel from the start and after seeing the movie I still think she was a good choice. As with so often with those superheros movies, it yet again seems here that another actor with potential was held back.
What I also welcomed was the plot twist in the last third. I think it was not a bad decision to take a different approach on this than in the comics.
SLJ delivered on his young portrayal as Nick Fury, but I think we were robbed of Clark Gregg's screen time.
Some reviewers praised the chemistry between Brie Larson and SLJ. While I wanted to feel it, I somehow did not. To me it even felt a bit forced.
Goose is the unarguable star of the movie. Although the lack of confusion that he is constantly around, particularly by Nick Furry, put me a bit off.
All in all 2 entertaining hours, not as refreshing as Thor Ragnarok or Black Panther, and definitely not in the same league as Wonder Woman but it is still far better than some of the other generic MCU movies.
