The X-Factor was missing.

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2019)

I was super excited about this film. Captain Marvel is one of the heroes I had been waiting to see on the silver screen. Bree Larson taking up the mantle- only spiced things up... and you had Sam L Jackson in the Lead... And yet, it felt blanched and lifeless.
Maybe Marvel has given us far too powerful storylines and far too big villains in the past and this out of the box story without a big villain didn't really go well with the expectations.
Maybe the expectations were to see a lot more unearthed in a origin story film.
Something was not right and it felt that way from the beginning and stayed that way till the very end. More like Dr. Strange.We went in with such expectations that the out of the box origin story fell short of our expectations.
Nothing was wrong- it was the bridge that would lead us to Endgame and yet, nothing felt right.
The jokes were poor. Marvel never makes a movie with poor jokes.
