Boring, slow, dull, obnoxious...

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2019)

First of, I never read the comics. I'm not a huge comic book person but I loved most of the MCU movies.
Is it the worst movie in the MCU? Probably not. But it is definitely down there with the worst. I pride myself on watching every MCU movie in the cinema, but this one I could have done with waiting for it to come out on DVD.
I went into the movie with an open mind as I knew nothing about Captain Marvel, I found it SO hard to connect with the hero from the start. She was just so arrogant and seemed to be perfect. Not at all flawed in anyway. I'm not even going to get started on the whole feminist approach to the film because that has been done to death by other reviewers.
The plot drags, the hero is unlikable even the effects are sub-par for a marvel movie. The only good things about this movie was the damn cat and Sam Jackson.
The thing is, If they kept everything the same but changed the actress (Brie Larson) they actually may have gotten away with it. Not only was her acting so unbelievable and wooden but Brie Larson herself is just VERY unlikable as a person. We all understand by now that she hates men. We get it. But don't bring your politics onto the big screen.
Definitely not worth a second viewing and definitely not worth watching in the cinema and definitely not worth buying on DVD. Borrow it from a friend when they are done with it and watch it.
And I was so looking forward to Endgame... Not anymore.
