TRUE comic fans will appreciate it

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2019)

I went into this not expecting much. But, as a diehard MCU fan (and a major comic nerd) I wasn't disappointed. The action scenes could have been better, given it's a Marvel film. But I enjoyed the story. People are so used to action, context isn't important to some. While they only briefly touch on how she got her powers, I think they did a good job of telling her story and how she ties in to what we should expect for Endgame. There are a few characters introduced that I hope they bring back for the final film of this phase. All in all, I honestly only watched because I have watched MCU movies religiously on opening day. Bad reviews were not going to keep me from seeing this one. Ignore them. Enjoy the movie for what it is. It's not an origin story, per se. It's a backstory on who Fury was reaching out to, and why/how she'll be helpful in fighting Thanos. Considering the end credit scene, she's the true first Avenger.
Also, the humor was catered to those of us old enough to remember this awesome decade. This was made in true 90's fashion. If you took this back to 1995, this is exactly what would have been on the screen and I loved that about it.
