Not horrible... but definitely not good either

Rating: 5/10 (6 January 2020)

This movie was similar to the first captain america movie in the sense that it was more necessary than actually good. Unfortunately, after watching the movie and end game, it is clear it wasn't nearly as necessary to the "Infinity" plot as originally thought.
The plot was generally monotoned, introduced unnecessary continuity issues, and the majority of the characters lacked any real authenticity, making it hard to be invested in the character development. Worst of all, it used feminist overtones in an attempt to mask those shortcomings instead of creating a well thought out story that organically introduces those themes, which kind of cheapened the message.
With all that being said, Brie Larson is a solid fit for the role of carol danvers and hopefully they will write it better in the future. As mentioned before, this movie did open up continuity issues unnecessarily, but it was still cool to have a blast to the past marvel style.
Overall, the movie was average in comparison to the other movies in the MCU. Basically a half step below the first captain America movie. It had the flashy veneer of all the other marvel movies, but it kind of stumbled to find its own distinctive identity in a sea of MCU films.
