It was a good and enjoyable movie

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2019)

So I went into this movie without knowing all of the political drama that led up to this movie. I was busy and did not have time to follow the internet drama. I went in excited as a fan of the marvel cinematic universe and I thought it was a great origin movie. I mean it wasn't the best by far but it was good movie to me.
I went online to see what others had to say about the movie and I feel like some are just a bit too hard on the movie? I mean I honestly thought it was good and I was engaged throughout the movie. Curious to see what really happened to her. Seeing young Samuel Jackson in action. And I really wasn't disappointed at all. I didn't expect such backlash from the film as I didn't know anything about the political drama.
I thought Brie Larson did a good job with Captain Marvel acting wise. I mean she played someone with a military background and trained by Krees for a while. It's not surprising that she isn't exactly all go lucky and a bit stoic. The moments where her compassion does show is nice. When she has her moments with her best friend and her best friend's daughter, I thought it bittersweet that she couldn't remember them but understood that she had a life here. I think Brie did well and I look forward to seeing more of her in the future.
I also think that Samuel Jackson did an amazing job as young Nick Fury. I loved that he was with her most of the time there and that they worked together. Their chemistry was very good and I loved his interactions with Goose. I know that people say he's different but what do you expect from encountering aliens for the first time compared to year's later when finding aliens is jusy another Tuesday night to him. I understand why people were upset about how he got the eyepatch but I thought it was funny that he is embarrassed to tell people that a cat did it.
I can understand if there are somethings that aren't as strong like maybe it was too flashback heavy and the color scheme was a bit bland. But for the movie I thought it fine as it was partially somber.
Overall I thought it was a solid introduction to Captain Marvel and I'm very excited to see how the Russo Brothers handle her after she's had her powers for over 20 years in the movie universe.
