Excellent. One of the best Marvel instalments yet.

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2019)

There are many reviews on here which criticise the lack of spectacle, poor writing, and predictability of this film, however I cannot help feel they're missing the point. We all knew this was 2 things: a setup for Endgame, and Marvel's attempt at a successful lead in answer to DC's Wonder Woman.
In the first, it succeeds. I'm excited to see how Captain Marvel helps solve the problem leftover from Infinity War.
In the second however, it exceeded my expectations entirely. The true beauty of this film is that it's a film made with a feminist agenda by someone who doesn't actually seem to hate men. It's about empowering women by virtue of their own ability; showing what they can achieve simply by themselves, not by patronising them with special treatment.
It also succeeds in showcasing a female superhero without feeling the need to make her a sex symbol in a short skirt/using gratuitous shots of her bottom. Brie Larson looks great throughout, but at no point did I ever feel that was a focus.
Full disclosure - I am a man. If I ever have a daughter, I want films like this to inspire her.
