Lots of fun and spectacle, nice addition to the mcu

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2019)

I felt the movie was a lot of fun, more comedic tone than other marvel movies, akin to Thor: Ragnarok. It doesn't take itself so seriously at times and that's fine by me. I like the twist they gave to the usual origin story, working from Carol's amnesia and going back to see how she got her powers. Samuel L. Jackson shines as a less serious and younger Fury, and Ben Mendelsohn is great as the skrull leader Talos. I've seen some people call Brie's acting bad, and I dont really think that. She's extremely nuanced in her performance, which I think illustrates how Carol is trying to find out who she really is, and struggles between her kree training of never showing emotion and her human nature. Overall I liked it, it's not the greatest mcu movie but it is not as bad as people make it out to be. But the best advice I can give is go watch it for yourself and see what you think.
