A decent movie that came out at the wrong time

Rating: 6/10 (12 March 2019)

This movie has been making all kinds waves hasn't it, both good and bad but really to me all I care about is if I enjoyed it or not and i just have to say I enjoyed MOST of it.Captain Marvel was a good movie.
The critical point I can take away from this movie is that Brie Larsson as Captain Marvel was actually quite good, not amazing but she actually did a fine job as Captain Marvel, from the trailers she came off as dry and a charisma vacuum but thank goodness in the movie she was actually funny,witty and kind of charismatic for most of the movie like the usual Marvel Superheroes. She did however have some dry spells in the movie especially some of the dialogue but that didn't ruin the movie for me.So in short Brie Larson did a good enough job in the role of Captain Marvel.
The best characters by far where Yon-Rogg played by Jude Law and Talos the Skrull leader played by Ben Mendelsohn. Both gave very good performances and had compelling story arcs.While Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury was good in the first and second act of the movie,and had great chemistry with Brie Larsson in the 3rd act of the movie Nick Fury become a chump and was rather useless in the movie although I get he is younger and not the Nick Fury we know from other Marvel movies he is just another different person in Captain Marvel which was kind of disappointing.Other characters such as Captain Marvel's friend Maria, the kree police force were fine or were just there and Phil Coulson and Roman were just glorified cameos.
What I liked about the movie was the the pace especially in the first and second act as the movie balanced action and story well.The movie had a fast pace but never too fast and I appreciateed that it didn't have the regular Origin Story formula, however I would have liked for the movie to explore more on Captain Marvel's origins so that I could Care about her character more as there isnt really much character development from Captain Marvel. Of course this is a Marvel movie so it had some funny moments and some uneeded and out of place humor as expected from a Marvel Movie. The skulls were really good in the movie especially Ben's performance as the Skrull leader Talos he was charismatic,funny and had an interesting arc. The movie takes an interesting twist involving the skrulls which was nice and made the movie more interesting.
The villain in this movie comes as a surprise in the movie so I won't spoil it but it is a good twist and makes sense so thumbs up for the villain with is rare for Marvel Movies.The action was fine, nothing spectacular but most of the action sequences were solid, they were just fine thats all I have to say about the action.The CGI was also very good especially the deaging process to Samuel L Jackson was very impressive and the effects on Captain Marvel's powers were cool especially when she had the helmet on it was bad ass.
Now by biggest issue with the movie and what I didn't enjoy was the 3rd act in this movie, my gosh especially the last 30 minutes were just disappointing. There were some bland action sequences,unfunny scenes and it was just the generic Marvel last third fight scene.Now one of the complaints from people is that the character of Captain Marvel is overpowered, I never count this as a bad thing if there are high stakes against the character and if the story is interesting. In Captain Marvel's case there was no serious threat in the 3rd act and the story became bland. Now the 3rd act wasn't that terrible but was just too generic and uninteresting and also really lazy.
Also speaking of lazy some of the dialogue was so cringey sometimes thankfully it was just a small bit but it was still noticeable and although I didn't want to speak on this the feminism and sjw aspect people are complaining about in Captain Marvel, I myself didn't care on those issues and although some of it is in the movie in sprinkles it wasnt preachy or anything as some people are exaggerating. It was noticeable but didn't make the movie bad.
Although I have to say in some scenes involving Captain Marvel especially scenes involving the past when she was being looked down appon,underestimated or bullied it was rather exaggerated and felt forced at times which made me cringe and didn't make me care about Brie Larsson's character at all.it was in small parts thankfully.
In terms of being Marvel's first female lead Superhero movie this was a fine(OK) attempt I guess.I mean this movie was mostly made to inspire little girls and look up to this character, you can say it did its job.
So Captain Marvel was a good movie,not a perfect movie at all and had a bland 3rd act the movie was still fun,funny and was mostly enjoyable.so am I excited to see Captain Marvel in Avengers: Endgame, no but i'm hopefull Marvel will improve this character and make her worth to watch and please if you haven't seen the movie go watch it for youself and come up with your own opinion.
