A soulless movie

Rating: 4/10 (21 July 2019)

It's been a few weeks since I've seen this, and I remember almost nothing about it. That already speaks for itself.
I found the movie lacking in almost every area. It never gets truly bad, but it never becomes more than just plain average. Most of the movie hovers around a resounding "meh".
There is nothing to wonder or marvel about, because Captain Marvel is simply too powerful. She is Superman on steroids. This bad experience is made even worse by the happy go lucky attitude she sports, including lots of strange smirks and sadly with an air of smugness most of the time, which makes it all very cringeworthy and unlikeable at best.
The story is very shallow and felt more like watching mandatory bits of information for the viewer to digest before they could move to the second movie, for which this is just a too obvious setup..
CGI is well done, and the de-aging of various characters we all know is an amazing piece of work.
The at times heavy-handed and forced feminist/go girl power! agenda was getting on my nerves occasionally. Why can't they just make strong female characters and let their actions speak for itself? -1 score for that.
Ultimately this is just a rather boring movie with no meat to it. It is just devoid of real substance.
All things considered: 4/10. You can skip this easily and not miss a thing.
