The movie is genuinely fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2019)

Me and my 9 year old are huge Marvel fans and we've seen them all. I am aware of the backlash surrounding what the main actress said (which was taken way out of context fyi)- I went in to see the movie with an open mind and with low expectations considering some of the negactive reviews.
We were absolutely blown away by this movie. I loved everything about it. I was a teenager in the 90's so the whole 90's feel and the soundtrack just added to the positive experience. Brie Larson was fantastic in the role and it's definitely the best Marvel movie I've seen in a while. It was well written, it was clever, it wasn't predictable, it had twists and turns, it had humor. It was fun, which is what I like my superhero movies to me. This is the female superhero my daughters have been waiting for. They didn't care about DC's Wonder Woman as the movie was too dark and drawn out for them, but this movie and this superhero really resonated with them. My 9 year old daughter's face was pure glee throughout the movie and she's begging me to go see it again. I didn't think she needed a female led Marvel movie but maybe she did. Ignore the super negative reviews and go see it for yourself.
