What the flerkin?

Rating: 5/10 (18 March 2019)

Brie Larson did a great job. Some people complain that her character wasn't nuanced or " deep" and they blame that on Larson's acting ability but the truth is that the character sin't especially nuanced. She's a fighter, that was made very clear. Flying and fighting are what she does, and she does both really well. She is an action hero and as such she's not going to show Meryl Streep levels of subtlety Carol Danvers is not a subtle person.
But I thought Brie carried the movie. The rest of the movie had to struggle to keep up. There wasn't a lot of tension, build-up or excitement. There were a few twists, and I'm still not sure what I think of them. They seemed unnecessary but whatever. There was some humor and the action and SFX were good. Use of 90s music was...well...questionable. Definitely could have used more Coulson.
Overall it was pretty entertaining, although I can see why it needed all the hype. It's not at the level of the best MCU films. On the other hand, hopefully this will open the door to the entire Cosmic side of the Marvel Universe.
