My first review

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2019)

Well, the move is good for sure but it's definitely not flawless. I noticed some problems with pacing being a bit wonky at times. In the beginning everything was fine but later on, there were some parts where the flow of transitioning from one situation to another felt "off". Some things happened too fast which made those scenes not as convincing as they could have been. I've seen this in other movies too like Aquaman for example so I didn't make a big deal out of it but a flaw is still a flaw. I also didn't like how, for the most of the movie, Captain Marvel didn't fight at her full strength and just when she unlocks her full power we see a bit of fighting and then the movie ends. I guess they did that to pump you up for the upcoming Avengers Endgame but I still think this is the movie where we should have seen her fight in all of her glory and we didn't see much of that so that kinda disappointed me.
On the other hand, the film, of course, did many things right too. I seriously expected first half of the movie to be all about Captain Marvel's military life as a pilot, which would have been kinda boring but that's not what they did. They tried really hard to make things interesting. There was this sort of an intrigue that was spread out through the whole movie, off wanting to know who exactly she is, what was she doing before she got her powers and how did she get them in the first place. In Black Panther and Spiderman Homecoming there were some boring parts but not in this movie. I think that this is how these action movies, that are based on popular franchises like Marvel, should be. Non-stop action and fun without a single dull moment. The parts in this film that could have actually been boring were filled with humor to make up for it. The humor itself was very cute and fairly well done in general. I actually laughed out loud at some parts which is something I don't usually do. There is also a nice little plot twist in the movie to spice things up even more. And yes, the fight scenes and visuals were really good too. When she unleashed her full power I got chills and that final boss fight was really funny.
And now, on to the hate. There are these haters who have this negative fixation in their heads and they will do everything just to make it come true. It actually saddens me to see to what extent these people would go just to prove themselves. Yes I'm talking about low ratings on imdb for this movie. Giving the movie "1" and writing a negative review for it just to put people off from watching it. Trying to convince them that there are problems where there are none. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the lead actress. They say she is "stoic" or stiff and while there were parts where she kinda seemed that way I didn't really perceive it as stiff. She is like that because the character that she is playing is supposed to be that way. She is a cool, noble, brainwashed person from another planet who was taught to suppress her emotions. But maybe these people are implying that they think she it like that in real life. I don't know about that but if she is, that's exactly why she was such a perfect fit for that role which is kinda ironic, don't you think?
Some people also accused the movie of being too political for which I was told that it's because "People from USA are very sensitive to politics in movies". I can kinda understand that but I think that, even if you are from USA, you won't really be bothered because there weren't as many of them in the movie in the first place. There were only some parts where she stands up after being beaten down instead of giving up which is, I guess, alluding to her being a strong woman which is, once more, alluding to feminism but even those parts weren't as blatant and apparent as they could have been.
After the movie was over, I actually asked my friends what they think about the hate and they didn't even know what I was talking about, let alone taking it into consideration. That's tells you enough how much these haters actually affected things but I still think it's unfair how the movie got a low score on imdb just because of these haters. Yes the score is ok now but the first time I checked it was 6.9 and every review that I looked at was negative. I usually don't write reviews but this time I had to make an exception so that I can try to fix things and I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I've watched a lot of Marvel movies recently and I have to say that I would put this movie above Spiderman Homecoming and Black Panther but below Civil War for example. I enjoyed it about as much as Antman 2 actually so if you liked that one you will like this one too cause it's a similar blend of humor and action. As for the score, my actual rating would be "8" but this time I will have to rate it with a "10" to counterbalance all those "1" ratings. I'm actually fine with the score that the movie has now. 7.2-3-4 is an acceptable score in my opinion but anything lower than that is a big no.
And one more thing, I was actually aware of all the hate that the movie was getting before watching it, but I walked in the theater with an open mind, expecting a good movie and that is what I got. The movie wasn't perfect but it's definitely one of those movies where the good outweighs the bad. The likeable cast which charms its way into your heart, combined with nice humor, great action scenes and intriguing plot makes up for all of the movie's shortcomings. So I repeat, the lead actress is fine and the movie is good. Just ignore the haters and go watch it. You'll see you'll like it.
