AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT TEARY EYED FROM THE "MARVEL" LOGO?

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2019)

I'll start with what I didn't like because it's not too much...
While I liked Brie Larson overall and she's a good actress, I thought her character's humor seemed a little forced... It was like they wanted her to be funny and relate able , but not too much like Chris Pratt as STARLORD. While at the same time being a strong respectable leader, but not too much like Chris Evans as CAP. So it ends up falling into this awkward spot where she comes off as a smart ass. LIKE ME. But it's inconsistent and I can see how it might rub people the wrong way.
Other than that my only real issue is how little they did with some of the supporting characters... We didn't get to know them at all. And the film suffers from the typical comic movie villain problem. Where they're fairly 2D.
But I liked everything else about the film.
It's not the best MCU film or the worst... It falls right in the middle for me probably whicuh is exactly what I expected honestly.
The VFX were good. Within about 10 seconds I knew the VFX were better than BLACK PANTHER's.
SLJ was great as always and it was nice to see him get a meatier role finally. Plus he got to play with a cool kitty.
The "Mallrats" gag was good enough to make Kevin Smith cry. That and all the other 90's references were great and used as part of the plot for the most part in some way so they didn't seem too crammed down your throat.
And the fact that they did an origin story without resorting to the cliche origin story layout was a good touch... We learned/remembered with the character as opposed to just watching her go through the motions.
Like I said it's a good addition to the MCU cannon and definitely sets up ENDGAME well enough... If/when they do another CAPTAIN MARVEL I hope they use the 20 years in between this film and now to tell the story as opposed to just doing a story after ENDGAME in sequence... There's a lot they could have fun with there and not have to be too bogged down by the other films continuity.
I may be biased, but I'm also honest so it evens out.
