Marvel dropped the ball with this one

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2019)

I will say firstly that as per usual the visual effects are outstanding. The de-aging of Fury and Colsen was perfection. But that's where my compliments end.
I truely went into this believing that Marvel's first female hero led film would have a similar impact as Blank Panther had, all I can say is that DC won the battle of female hero film.
This fell flat in so many ways. The storyline had massive pacing issues and the quaint humorous bits that Marvel has become quite famous for were few and seemed forced. Brie Larson's character was 1 dimensional, which with her acting chops has left me wondering if this was the fault of the director instead. With Captain Marvel being the most powerful hero in the line up they definitely missed an opportunity to show a storyline where her vulnerability is inside her mind and she has to fight to know her worth on her own, the storyline does that undercurrent but it just wasn't written well.
Lastly a huge opportunity was missed with the soundtrack. After the brilliance that was Galaxy of Guardians soundtrack this journey back to the 90's was bleak. They hand picked iconic songs but just dropped them into the film with no relevance or flow.
Overall you still need to see it as it's the next cog in the wheel before Endgame. It's also not the worst movie in the world so you won't feel like you've wasted money on a ticket. You will feel like Marvel has they're B group creating this film. I am getting slightly worried about Phase 4 now
