Rating: 4/10 (7 March 2019)

Disappointing is the only word I can use to describe this movie. I was neutral going into this film, with all the manufactured hype surrounding this film I actually believed it would be entertaining. Mike Strahan on GMA said this movie was "amazing and great", I know now Mike was lying.
I'll start off with one of the most obvious issues, Coulson. By now, Marvel and the movie producers should know everyone wants more Coulson. It's been years since he was first introduced and people STILL talk about him. Why in the world would they only give him 4 short scenes? Fury was fine, Jackson definitely seemed to enjoy his role. My respects to him. Other characters were just okay, the cat was a BIG highlight.
As for Brie, I'll steer clear from her obvious political and feminist leanings and say it isn't about her, it's her ACTING. She's dull. If she had some range as an actress it certainly does not show here. It felt as though she just read the script and phoned in her role. Why the execs let this make it to the screen is beyond me. Do test audiences exist?
Content wise, the movie ultimately falls all the way flat. There's no tension when Captain Marvel herself is the strongest freaking character in the movie(universe?). What makes most of the Avengers great is that they are strong, but they're weak at the same time. They had to grow, they fought enemies that pushed them to their limits and grew from it. CM doesn't have that.
Ultimately, I'm worried about Endgame. If this was just some standalone Marvel film, kind of like the first Ant Man, I'm almost certain people would be more forgiving. Considering infinity war and an end credits scene included in this film tie her into Endgame, people are bound to be critical. It took 10 years to build up the Avengers, Thanos is THEIR battle, not CM's. If CM comes in and just "saves the day" it would be the ultimate slap in the face to everybody that watches these films, the characters AND the actors themselves.
Unfortunately, Marvel execs seem not to care. How many movies was Brie signed on for again?
