Could easily have climbed my top 10 list

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2019)

I really wanted to like this movie as I'm having a daughter... I want her to experience female super heroes matching super"man", bat"man" and spider"man".
Unlike Wonder Woman, which was also a fantastic movie, I was hoping this would be different. I was hoping Captain Marvel would face great adversity, show weakness and overcome everything through sheer willpower and belief in herself. I was hoping she would have to face impossible choices and refuse to bend to less evil choices, and pave the path to a better way...
I didn't get any of that...
Instead I got an entertaining movie, which had everything from action, comedy, predictable plot, likeable characters and Samuel Jackson - what's not to like? It's a standard Marvel super hero movie..
Brie Larson is a great and likeable actress. If only they had given Captain Marvel a bigger challenge, and more character development, I'm sure this would easily have gone from great to epic.
