Went in with low expectations, pleasantly surprised!

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2019)

I know this film has got a lot of bad press what with the review bombing and such, for this reason I went in thinking that this could be one of the worse MCU movies.
How wrong I was. To start with I though Brie Larson was an excellent fit to the character, witty, charming and very badass. The storyline was also good, although I preferred the on earth scenes to the ones in space. Samuel L Jackson absolutely steals the show on this one, in many aspects this film is an origin story in itself for Nick Fury and it's really rewarding to see how he became the man he is in the other MCU films.
When you think of other MCU introduction films in comparison to Captain Marvel, this film more than holds its own and I would consider it one of the best. In comparison to the first Thor and Captain America, the character development was far better here and contained a lot more exciting characters.
I was also worried about what many others are saying with the 'political agenda' behind this, but this movie is not based around the fact that this is the first MCU female solo film at all, it showed really badass scenes that you would expect from any other MCU character and I genuinely don't understand how people can say that the whole 'I'm a woman superhero' thing was shoved down people's throats, because it wasn't by any means.
One complaint I would have is that I would have liked to have been more of Jude Law's character but maybe that's because I'm British!
