Captain Marvel is a good MARVEL movie.

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2019)

First off, if people went into this expecting the entire Marvel Universe to turn upside down, totally change tones, or lose any of that staple humor, you were going to be disappointed.
We were all pretty much told pre-release that she was way overpowered, but this is her JOURNEY of discovery. I enjoyed that they did not go the conventional way about telling an origin story. The characters were all well played and Brie Larson is a wonderful choice for Captain Marvel. She is witty, wild, and fun to watch on screen. Samuel L. Jackson was great comic relief, but I would have liked to see him kick a little more butt. Action sequences were great, lots of good callbacks, especially some scenes that were re-creations of classic films.
Points were docked for a bit of problem with storytelling. I felt like they could have explained her powers better, and better explained her relationship with certain people in her past. and why who, etc.
Overall it was a good Marvel movie.
