One for the 90's

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2019)

My theory is the low ratings come from people who were born, not lived through the 90's, so Carol Danver's (Brie Larson's) angst is a little lost on them. Plus it's a great soundtrack. And even though it is hard to watch without comparing it to Wonder Woman, it ultimately wins over, because no one in the real world is born a Goddess Princess. Give it a watch, and remember, if you hadn't seen all the MCU movies yet, and this was the very first one you saw ... you'll appreciate the humor, love the play on emotions vs intellect, and a cute CGI cat. To see Young Fury depicted as a man that goes mushy over a feline & still innocent to the threats from the universe is a delight. Also the movie pays homage in a gasp !!action popcorn entertainment-film!! the love and friendship between Carol and Maria Rambeau, normally reserved for movies like Fried Green Tomatoes. I almost shed a tear (I did cry when Wonder Woman goes past the trenches with her shield and charges the enemy) when the movie cuts to all the times Carol is pushed down, falls down, and is told her place is elsewhere ... only to remember that she comes back up fighting, and in this movie and the next it won't be different.
