Left with feeling something missing

Rating: 3/10 (6 March 2019)

I don't think a superhero movie has been made that I have not seen. As a rusted on comics person I have loved the last two decades. I was interested to see how they adapted a relativity unknown character and found it interesting. (who knew Ant Man a few years ago) I am not sure all comics can make the leap to the screen well. Flash seems dogged with trouble thanks to the TV series being such a success while Snyders intro has hobbled future attempts at the story.
In this I thought the cast was great but the weakest part was Larson. I think that was in part the character, and her inability to build the character smoothly along a path to a suitable climax.
The writing had floors. The fight on the train was silly. She had blasted people before but this time she appeared to just want to beat up a Skrull who was displaying an old women persona. I can think of reasons for it, but they are all weak. I am sure there are other holes, but I will let others find them.
The two biggest disappointments for me is that this genre is know for it's "Aha moments" and emotional high points. Neither was there. Neither were any nods to the original character. Who cannot forget so many small signature scenes in Spider-Man. A nod to the classic Carol Danvers costume would have been nice somewhere - maybe it was too subtle and I missed it.
The last issue was the lack of building to a finale moment - the "I'm coming for you" - really. That was it. Maybe not Aliens but surely something better than this. Tear open the hull and face the Accusers literally face to face. It was disappointing.
(and I was intrigued by the disappearing, reappearing butt, throughout the movie. - maybe she could have just done some more squats)
