Marvel still finding ways to stay new and exciting

Rating: 8/10 (11 April 2019)

Similar to my feelings before going to see Ant Man and Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel was not a movie I had exceedingly high expectations about. However, like the former, Captain Marvel surprised and delighted.
The CGI de-aging of Sam Jackson is a sight to behold! The special effects team have outdone themselves again. I felt the pace and tone of the movie keep me engage until the final act where things seemed to fizzle out a bit.
That said, overall Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck perfectly played with the themes of gender equality and the refugee crisis in an emotional and touching way! 8/10
