Brie Larson showed the range of a squirt gun

Rating: 4/10 (16 March 2019)

I had high hopes for the movie when it was announced, but the pre-release commentary let me know what I was in for. My son and i have a long-running tradition of watching Marvel releases in the theatre - usually on opening weekend. I wasn't about to break that thread, as a family tradition is worth much more than having to endure a bad movie. I still went with an open mind, and was willing to be entertained. Sadly, Brie Larson was so flat as a character, that I never found myself rooting for her, or otherwise caring in any way. Given the fact the Captain Marvel will likely be a pivotal character in Endgame, I can't for the life of me understand why another more dynamic actress could have been given the role. Endgame is only going to be diminished by Ms. Larson's ability.
