I can give it a pass.

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2019)

It is okay. Most of these reviews on these sites are just terrible attempts to hold this movie down and spread stupid negativity. Not saying it's great, but isn't a totally unwatchable garbage at all. .
Good : The deaging effect on Samuel L. Jackson is awesome. He resembled Zeus from Die Hard with a Vengeance, a totally uncanny resemblance. His natural charisma and charm prove to be a saving grace of the movie. Also, he was given a much more screen time, which kept me interested for a longer time. It ain't as bad as the fake reviews say it is, and is completely watchable from the beginning to the end. Apart from this, Ben Mendelsohn does a very good job as well.
Mixed : (Spoilers) Kree are the villains, Skrulls are the good guys and are initially shown to be the exact opposite. This has been taken by many viewers to be a positive, but I just have happened to rewatch Deadpool 2 and some other films with similar tropes quite recently. So, it didn't click with me well. Also, Ronan was a Kree in GotG 1, so I roughly predicted the twist, and I was right. On the whole, I appreciate the ideas behind the film, but I did not like the writing, directing and overall execution of those ideas. As a result, I found this movie to be very dull.
Bad : I am really sad to say this but Brie Larson is probably the worst casting choice in the MCU, after Don Cheadle for War Machine. It feels like Carol was the same person before and after the crucial events shown in the movie. Her performance is completely flat. Writers and directors are to be blamed too, but it doesn't feel like she was totally into the role at the first place. Apart from this, there is a little explanation why she could absorb all the powers of the tesseract and not die, and how does all that absorption make her super invicible. It felt as if they concentrated more on her powers than story. She often feels like an exaggerated and unlikable version of Superman. We get to know what Kree is up to, but it doesn't clearly explain their motives. The writing and directing is quite poor, and it is apparent from the fact that we end up not caring much about the new characters. The action scenes are below average at best. Many of the scenes are in the dark, so I couldn't see what was going on. Other times, there were frequent cuts. There are dumb song choices for a fight scene, which make it look totally whacky. And, Fury lost his eye because an alien cat scratched his eye? What on earth is that, seriously? Also, in the first Avengers film, Natasha says that she wasn't trained for aliens and creatures like that, but Fury should've let her train for that. It means either Fury is messing around with her for no reason, or the writers didn't see the first Avengers film at all. I will stick with the second one. I don't remember it clearly, but I think Fury said that "Avengers initiative" was because of Peggy Carter or so. If I am wrong, then please don't mind. But if I am not, what was the point of the final moments of this film?
Conclusion : For casual fans, it's okay for a one time watch. But for MCU fans, it will be underwhelming and disappointing. It feels like a mess of a film with great potential.
