Disappointed!

Rating: 4/10 (11 March 2019)

They could have done so much more with Captain Marvel especially with all the hype pre-release. Her powers/abilities are never properly explained and its use throughout the movie is inconsistent. She never really faced a formidable foe to be declared by the creators as 'THE STRONGEST' character in MCU and I couldn't connect with her gaining those powers at all. Look at Thor. He was already a GOD, who lost it all and then earned back his power and more. And all that great storytelling was thrown away with a few nonsensical statements about Captain Marvel. Nick Fury who I respected so much as a formidable spy character, was shown as a funny guy just to make Captain Marvel look badass. This was another bad move. Samuel Jackson did a wonderful job, no doubt, but I don't see him as the same fearsome, mysterious Nick Fury who recruited the Avengers anymore.
Comedy felt a bit forced, especially during the last act of the movie. I know they were going for girl-power, and almost did a very good job with it. I especially liked the part where they show Carol getting up every time she falls. But to show other established badass characters as weak just to one up Captain Marvel got tiring to watch.
Overall an Average movie with great visuals and performances but seriously bad story telling.
