Captain Marvel is a relatively forgettable, average installment in the Marvel franchise which acts mostly as a satisfying filler between Infinity War & Endgame (to tide fans over in the meantime) - that's not to say it's bad, nor is is anything particularly memorable, but it's a watchable popcorn flick & enjoyable, nonetheless.
There are some interesting ideas & visually inventive set pieces but after so many previous films already set in the exact same universe, it hardly does anything to set it apart from the rest & Brie Larson wastes the character's potential with her monotonous, lifeless delivery of every single line she's given - deflating any clear opportunities there were for any moving, emotional moments & thus, Carol Danvers is devoid of any noticeable charisma & my investment in her story was lacking to say the least, despite the filmmaker's desperate attempts to make the stakes as personal as possible, regardless of how grand & spectacular they became.
On the whole, totally unoriginal - felt like a cold, heartless, corporate investment of a feature project - yet another cog in the mechanical machine of a company that is the unbeatable Disney. It was successful, but did it deserve its success? Not particularly. Wouldn't say it was earned.
