It was good, but was it necessary?

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2019)

I am a die hard marvel fan so when this movie came out I was so excited and I really looked forward to it, but honestly, this movie did not live up to the expectation that I had for it.
The movie started off really slow, but since many good movies do that, I continued to give it a chance. Things didn't really start to pick up until about 45 min-1 hour into the movie, which was kind of annoying, but Goose and Fury kind of helped me look past that, but it was still very noticable.
Larson's acting was also pretty forgettable. Jackson's was on point (I kind of saw him as the buffer character because after I would cringe a little on Larson's acting I would laugh when Jackson came on the screen), and you just gotta love Goose.
The CGI and fight scenes were also on point. Although there were a few scenes where it looked like I was looking at a video game, it didn't happen too often.
I watched this movie with my friend and her sister, and everytime there was a scene with the jets they would both say "that came straight out of Star Wars". I am not a star wars fan and I haven't seen any of the movies so I had close to no clue what they were talking about. But it became more than a coincidence when I would hear "that happened in Star Wars" every time there was a scene with the jets (so no originality for the jets I guess).

Overall, I don't think this movie was that necessary. It was cool to have but it was just a filler movie. There were some clues to Endgame but they didn't make we want to start theorizing like I have with other Marvel movies. I can tell that she will obviously be a big character in Endgame, but I still don't think this movie was needed at this time.
I would reccomend this movie to die hard Marvel fans because they can literlaly pick up on the smallest things and make a theory on it. I wouldn't reccommend it for people who aren't die hard fans because I think it would be a little bit confusing and misleading. Not all Marvel movies are like this. Most of them are actually really good (to the point where you could watch it everyday *Black Panther*).
Although I'm reviewing this movie a bit harshly, I do still look forward to Captain Marvel's involvement in Endgame.
Random note: I've been sitting here since I was a kid, waiting for a Black Widow movie. Where is that??!! That movie would have been way better!!!
