Good Standalone film, mediocre MCU Flick

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2019)

Overall I really enjoyed Captain Marvel. Characters such as Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Talos (Ben Mendelson) stole the show while I still feel that Carol herself (Brie Larson) has definite potential for becoming a great character (much like Chris Evans in his first Captain America movie). I wouldn't consider her the highlight of the film but you can clearly see that Larson tried her best to portay the character. The plot was really good. There were many plot twists and character developments that made it interesting and intriguing. The script was also very humorous and witty. All though, the movie falls flat at the action scenes. The choreography and scale of the fights were severely underwhelming and I was really disappointed. Considering that Carol is supposed to be a very powerful character you would expect her fights to be badass and compelling yet I didn't feel that at all. Still a solid movie though. Congrats Marvel!
