Overall great 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2019)

After growing up in the 90s and with very little representation of female led superhero movies, I have to say that this movie has made the little girl in me quite happy.
The casting was great for the introduction of one of Marvel's toughest superheroes, especially with Brie Larson showcasing a witty, rough hero that has lost part of herself. Samuel L. Jackson, Goose, and the 90s nostalgia nailed perfectly the comedy parts of the movie without it being exaggerated.
As for the story, I think we still need to see Carol Danvers develop as a human a little more to be able to showcase her weaknesses so that she can complete her Hero's Journey and we can further empathize with her. Even as we learn about her past and how she acquired her powers, in my opinion her character feels a little unrealistically perfect.
On the other hand, the visual effects, action sequences and score were superb for this character's introduction. If you like rock music, you'll definitely enjoy a few sequences with Nirvana, No Doubt, and Garbage in the background.
Definitely a must see to keep up with the upcoming Avengers: Endgame.
