A good surprise

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2019)

I watched this movie expecting nothing. I don't know the character in comics, and I didn't know it was (or how it was) connected to the Avengers movies, so I watched it with zero expectations.
I found a fresh action comedy, nice characters, nice retro 90s music according to the setting of the movie (I'm on my 30s, so 90's music is my stuff!) and pop culture references, a simple (maybe at points predictable but not annoying) but well paced story, and the connected ending that everyone (...but me) expected.
And a cat.
Brie Larson was really great (played a completely different character than in "Room", at such point that I didn't realised it was her until the usual post view research) and had great chemistry with S. L. Jackson they were a lot of fun together, and no annoying secondary characters (that's a big plus!).
Only thing that seemed boring was the designs, suits, spaceships, etc... everything seems too similar, even if it's all part of the same universe, it already started boring me on the second Avengers movie... but wasn't something that ruined it for me, it's just that it didn't feel fresh, I guess there was no way out of it for directors/writers...
Anyways, very good and fun movie, another one for Marvel on the style of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Thor: Ragnarok".
Always good to see a cool new character coming up!
