A great super hero movie set in my childhood

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2019)

Ignoring all of the media drama and YouTuber fanfare click bait surrounding Brie Larson, I walked into this movie for what it was. A Marvel Origin movie that was released between Infinity War and Endgame.
Is it the best movie in the MCU? No. That is still Ragnarok. What we do have here however is a fresh take on a Marvel Origin story that's set in my Childhood. Some minor pacing issues aside, this movie is put together well, with fantastic visuals and attention to detail as well as a great supporting cast.
Samuel L Jackson plays a great younger Nick Fury, with energy and charisma that he has to suppress as an older, more disgruntled version in the other MCU films.
The 90s setting is fantastic and a trip down memory lane. At the age of 7 when this film is set, I fully appreciate the full recreation of Blockbuster video, the 90s computers and technology, as well as the toys I played with, like the Nerf gun.
Brie Larson plays a likeable hero and the chemistry between her and Sam Jackson is charming without feeling too forced.
Lots of people will compare this movie to Wonder-Woman because they are both super hero movies with a female lead, however they aren't comparable in the same way you wouldn't compare Ant-Man and Aqua Man, just because they star a male lead.
Forget what is or isn't between the Title characters legs and enjoy this for what it is... an enjoyable movie set in the MCU with some great moments and some great action. Having it weave itself into all the previous entries before it in a way that doesn't feel like an after though is exciting. The possibilities are endless.
Who will turn out to have been a Skrull the whole time? Can't wait to find out!
