A truly enjoyable and multifaceted movie

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2019)

Where should I start? Captain Marvel gives us an all powerful being who is still very much human, especially in the fact that she doesn't know the extent of her own limits. Carol Denver's is strong, fierce, a perfect female role model while at the same time showing us that her emotions are part of what makes her who she is.
Goose is a riot who deserves his own movie, but I digress. Captain Marvel manages to keep a light-hearted approach to some very serious issues. Betrayal and mental abuse are only a few of the issues addressed on a much deeper level, something that I understand will turn some viewers off as this requires them to actually think about what they have seen or heard.
This movie is not an orgy of action and battle scenes. It is not a linear story that can be followed while half asleep. It is a remarkable piece if writing and acting that takes the origin of the character to a whole new level. We understand her motivation, her reasoning and learn in the process that there is no such thing as a black or white universe.
Captain Marvel is a force to be feared and respected. A woman who proves to anyone in her way that she can dish it out better than anyone else, all while remaining caring towards others.
Whatever the final say will be of those who cannot look beyond the multi-layer story, this movie will be for me a must show to my girls. No matter who tells them "you can't", I hope that this movie will show them that with strength and determination, they will in the end prove them all wrong.
