Another serve of Marvel Studios' fun

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2019)

After 20-something Marvel Studios movies, I'm not sure that anyone goes in not knowing what to expect. Well, Captain Marvel gives you what you expect - rollicking fun, quips, action, and the typical Marvel Cinematic Universe blend of heart, humour and heroism.
Brie Larson nails it as Captain Marvel. She brings exactly the blend of steely determination and the sheer joy of being a superheroine that I love in the comics. The buddy chemistry between Larson and Samuel L. Jackson is fantastic. Ben Mendelsohn is unexpectedly sympathetic and funny. Lashana Lynch gives a great turn as Maria Rambeau. And the four cats that play Goose the cat are perfect.
As someone who remembers the 90's I enjoyed the nostalgia. It may not work so well for younger audiences though.
8/10, would be 9 apart from the fact that we have seen so much of Marvel's house style before.
