Marvel is treating us like morons

Rating: 3/10 (10 March 2019)

What a pile of garbage. I cannot believe I payed to see this movie for the 9th time. Not this movie specifically, but movies with the exact same tone, plot, hero and message. We are all being told that having a female lead is both important, good, and status quo changing. Well it certainly isn't enough to excuse the absolutely horrible writing, acting, editing and characters.
Captain Marvel fits quite nicely in the category of "Mary Sue" heroines. She can use THE POWER OF LOOKING AT THINGS SERIOUSLY to solve absolutely ANY PROBLEM.
The first act of this movie is a babbling, incoherent mess... doesn't get better from there.
Carol Danvers does shine at one point in the movie, literally, but holy cow is she poorly written and non - fascinatingly performed. Brie didn't manage to make her likable or believable. She's just got perfect morals, no character flaws (besides the typical amnesia cliché) and her superhero arc is predictable and not compelling in the slightest.
Of course there is a moment in this movie like all other super hero movies when the hero realizes his/her true potential and all cap had to do was THINK REALLY HARD about all the men who told her she couldn't do anything, but she stood up in the end. What a great message never before seen in a super hero movie.
No one else in this movie is worth mentioning.
The film is littered with absolutely insulting deus ex machina moments that either make no sense or just drop out of thin air. The plot just moves forward at the exact pace you'd expect it to. Every Marvel story beat that has been recycled through 10 movies can be found here just done a bit worse.
Nothing new was added to anything by this movie, nothing was compelling about this movie, nothing was tense about this movie, nothing was predictable about this movie. A female lead can't change that. People deserve better super heroes than this. I have a feeling that since they made an op, ship stopping, glowing, non penetrable, perfect super tank to fight Thanos I think we're all in for a grim and boring conclusion to the MCU. They ruined it.
3/10
