Girl power (finally)

Rating: 6/10 (20 October 2019)

Movie afternoon with Gertie.
Marvel goes Back to the Future-style, with a welcome (and long overdue) feminist slant. The gags mostly land, and the stunts keep pace. Although the plot takes a while to find it's feet.
Yes there's a scene-stealing cat, but Larson totally dominates this. In many ways the film itself doesn't glow in the same way as Larson does. Ultimately Captain Marvel is enjoyable enough popcorn entertainment. Larson makes a thoroughly engaging superhero, witty, courageous and with a sensitivity many others of the Marvel stable lack.
