Just not that good a film

Rating: 4/10 (10 June 2019)

Like all Marvel Studios films, this is well produced, generally looks really good, etc., but in this case, overall, it's just not a good film. It feel extremely rushed and not well built. It's not the worst film of all time, it's just simply not a good film.
The story is pretty poor, I won't put in any spoilers, instead just to say the story is really rushed and a lot of pieces of the film are a bit thrown together; for example there's a particular moment where it's meant to be a big emotional speech: "you know what's difficult...." as the entry point but the character has only been introduced to the film not 3 minutes and it's actually a bit cringey to watch as a result. You can add Captain Marvel screaming woo as she flies around in a scenario where her nearest and dearest are in grave danger.... why? It's a bit weird. Adding to that the cat; when you watch it, you will understand; utterly pointless but a vitally important character in the film - why?
I don't want to get into the same tripe as some but I have to say, having watched it, the film is miscast.... honestly. Captain Marvels portrayal is just not likeable or entertaining, the captain is just dull while also trying extremely hard to be cool.... I don't think the actress fits what they were attempting at all.
It's like a B movie in this universe all said. I hope they don't make any sequels and focus on a Black Widow series as that has huge potential.
