For Goose, Fury and ... Carol Danvers !!

Rating: 7/10 (13 March 2019)

First of all, Brie Larson is one of my favorite young actresses, with Room and Short Term 12 for instance. So, I could not miss a Marvel with Brie Larson. In addition, the special effects are rather well done, and the film is funny (especially the danger detector that would not work according to Nick Fury). But it lacks a I-do-not-know-too-what in order to make it an excellent movie. In particular, the film is insufficiently pedagogic about the capabilities of the main character: in exactly 7 minutes (timed and verified at second viewing), we elliptically switch from a woman who does karate, manually warms a kettle and is able to send energy flows from her fists, without really knowing why or how, to a woman whose power seems limitless, on a scale we have never seen before in the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a few weeks, within Avengers 4, she will be one character among too many others super heroes, while we barely know her. I wanted more about her. I still want more!
