All the power!....and no character depth

Rating: 5/10 (27 June 2019)

Major disappointment. This film is a pretty big bore for most of the run time. The main character undergoes no true struggle, approaches no true obstacle, and has no true arc to get the audience invested at all. So the action means nothing to us as an audience by the end no matter how powerful she may be. We are told she is too emotional but never shown it because Larson's performance is extremely wooden. Very rare poor casting by Marvel. The twist does not work for me in this film as the potential for a great villain is spoiled. Samuel L does what he can to save this movie but it isn't enough.
