Terrific movie which is worth seeing a 2nd time.

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2019)

I took my son to see this and we both loved it. In fact, I really enjoyed it this second time around: there's lots I didn't appreciate the first time.
The backstory is compelling and real. Brie gives a restrained performance but I kinda like that in an era of the far-too-obvious. In fact, it felt quite rare as whilst I love MCU, sometimes that's not the strongest point. Indeed, it reminded me a huge amount of the first Iron Man which remains to this day a brilliant story, brilliantly told.
Captain Marvel has a wonderful timeless feel about it, which is probably befitting her character. It also surprised in places especially on the point about (spoiler alert) whether she is Kree. I liked the twist on that, especially second time.
Samuel L Jackson is terrific.
And then there's the cat. Wow. Deserves an Oscar :) It really is so funny and a brilliant addition.
All the best MCU's in my opinion contain humour and this is no exception. When it first appears, around about the autopsy, it comes as a bit of a surprise and then theres plenty of it. Not quite Guardians but it's there.
I loved this film hugely. It's one of the best of the MCU's and sets up Endgame perfectly.
The haters? Well they just hated it before they even saw it. Lots of them are Russian bots, of course. Vladimir just can't abide American success, especially when it's girl power with a slightly lesbian twist.
Go see it. It's worth it.
