Even Larson Couldn't Save This Disaster

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2019)

Captain Marvel assumes you've never watched a film before. Cliche after cliche, the first 20 minutes of Captain Marvel is utterly boring. You've seen it all before. A terrible training scene sets the tone. "Control your emotions", an awful training fight sequence with pauses for terrible quips. It never stops.
The CGI... What are you wasting your budget on?
Marvel comedy has been getting stale for at least half a decade, with the exception of the first guardians of the Galaxy. It has never been more stale than here though. Except for a couple of moments between Jackson and Larson, the comedy just ruins the scene.
It's not as if the comedy and dialog makes sense either. This is captain Marvel, not star Lord. But unfortunately since Guardians had so much success every marvel film needs to act the class clown.
Talking of Guardians, the soundtrack to CPT Marvel fitted the time period. But sadly the songs were so obvious. Of course there's Nirvana!
It's a shame because Larson is excellent and Jackson is decent too. Which is more than can be said for some of the others! Her friend is so wooden, she might aswell be a tree.
Overall, it was a bad, bad film. No reasonable explanations for any powers. Characters are shallow, dialog made me roll my eyes constantly.
I've never wanted to leave a movie as much as I did here.
