Marvel At The Wide-Eyed Neurotic Stare

Rating: 4/10 (6 March 2019)

Oh! No! It's Captain Marvel. She's going to stare at me in a wide-eyed neurotic fashion. I'm genuinely worried. Please don't boil my rabbit Captain M. You're not dumped. I love you. I'll never stop loving you.
The above is obviously a joke, but, come on! I can't be the only one to notice the neurotic eyes - am I? I couldn't figure out if that is Brie's natural look or something she created for the part.
In all seriousness, Brie Larson Isn't good in this role. However, the writing is average; so perhaps that's not entirely her fault. Nevertheless, she is too cold/stone-like as Captain Marvel. There's no warmth there. There's nothing to make you empathise.
I was waiting for a hook to drag me in to this movie, but, there wasn't one. However, there was a forced & too obvious 'girl-power' element, that, I actually think hindered the film - it didn't help an already awkward & overly complexed storyline. The whole Movie felt a wee bit too much of a square peg being forced into an Avengers rounded world.
There are bangs & flashes but that's nowhere near enough. It's an awkward film. It just didn't flow, so, you didn't want to get in the boat.
