Captain Meh

Rating: 1/10 (9 March 2019)

How is it that none of the jokes were funny? I kept thinking something is going to be funny but nothing really was, unless you count the cat eating bad guys. Which was good but then they ruin it by having the cat scratch out Fury's eye. So pointless. The 90s pasted on theme fell very flat as even the music seemed lame. In Guardians of the Galaxy the music really worked with the action on screen, not so here. Instead if feels like "Oh yeah, I 'member that song." Captain Marvel's sarcastic attitude was more annoying than cool. And she constantly seems to be spouting off one liners that are supposed to land but crash and burn. You also never feel like she is any real danger. Even the "intense" ending battle with her former teammates felt long because there was never any doubt she would win. Lots of lazy writing. Feels like Marvel just wanted to shoehorn this character into the MCU. Sad thing is this had potential but so many poor choices were made. This movie ruins a perfect opportunity to have a Marvel stand alone female superhero film. They should have taken notes from Wonder Woman. I'd only recommend this to Marvel completionist who have to see all Marvel movies. Such a waste.
