Feels fake

Rating: 4/10 (11 March 2019)

I went in knowing pretty much nothing about Captain Marvel from the comics; so I was happy to learn a bit of backstory and this being the first of a new character I figured there'd be slower parts to help develop. Nothing in this film felt right. Brie Larson's performance was so rigid I wasn't sure if that was actually Brie Larson or Kristen Stewart disguised as Brie Larson. The whole thing felt like Marvel wrote themselves into a corner and are using Capt Marvel as one big retcon to get out of the corner.
The movie wasn't terrible, but it just didn't stack up to others in the MCU. I hope they manage to do better in the next films.
