An honest opinion

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2019)

I rather liked this. I am invested in marvel so that opinion may be a little biased, honestly. It's by no means the best marvel film and in many ways goes back to the phase 1 formula, I've seen many citing this as being a bad thing, but as it's an origin story that would fit around that time in a chronological MCU rewatch, I think it's what marvel were going for. I have no stake in any of the ridiculous flame war/boycott of the film, and think it's absolutely stupid.
I will say that the trailer (oddly only one full trailer!?) Did the film and Brie Larson no justice at all. There were some frustrating parts for me also, but many of these are subjective. One thing, as Jeremy Jahns said, was *STUPID* and you can probably guess what it was. Otherwise, one previously known character's accent completely changed from the last time we saw them, which took me out of it a little, but it's a fairly minor criticism.
Could it have been better? Absolutely
Was it better than the trailer made it out to be? Absolutely
Worth the price of admission? Absolutely
