Thank You Samuel!

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2019)

Like other reviewers here, I think that Samuel Jackson saved this film. If he wasn't in it then it would be the worst Marvel Comics movie I have seen. Samuel just makes everything better though haha (Snakes on a Plane even!). I can't pinpoint why the story was bad, but there are probably multiple reasons. A few big ones could be...story was bad because it came too late in the MCU line. This is definitely possible. There is a lot of information to force into a 2 hour movie. Especially considering how powerful she is supposed to be, and how major a role she plays in Avengers. Just seemed rushed, and the huge amount of stuff they wanted portrayed made them lose their vision.
However, one major thing that made me angry was the female lead stuff. There was nothing more cringeworthy than the later scene when she was shown getting up after falling. Holy god, was their a major lapse in subtelty in this movie. The most lasting stuff I remember from the movie is all about the female lead parts. To the point where I forgot what actually happened in the movie itself! Look.....I have ZERO issue with female equality. I couldn't give a rats ass if its a female or male lead. I have never thought, in Avengers, anything different about say Black Widow vs Captain America. It was the last thing on my mind with gender stuff. They are either a good actor or actress....and they are either right for the part or wrong. That simple. Captain Marvel though just rode the wave with female lead stuff. In a way they certainly paid for it on this one. It felt like watching a movie by a communist country that controls what is in the film, and force their political agenda. This reminds me of the time when Disney had their first ethnic female princess. Made a massive deal of it. If you are watching a film, and ask yourself why are their not more males or female in the lead then you probably dont enjoy too many movies.
