Capitã Marvel (evaluation)

Rating: 6/10 (8 April 2019)

Within the fictional universe created by Marvel, the film Avengers: Infinite War, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, put us before a plot that implied that the studio was entering the end of a phase and with the purpose of starting a new stage in its cinematographic trajectory. To do this, it became necessary for Marvel to work with characters that had not yet been introduced to the movies. This is the case of Captain Marvel.
A character created in the late 1970s, it is she who will be the leader of the new studio cycle. To mark his film debut, we have the film Captain Marvel, directed and co-written by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. The film introduces us to the story of Vers / Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), from when she was one of the inhabitants of the planet Kree, until the moment she, due to a mission establishing on planet Earth, begins to enter in contact with his past and his true identity, thus discovering his true purpose.
In the way it was developed by Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, the plot of Captain Marvel makes important bridges with other Marvel films, notably its main series, The Avengers. Here we find a young Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) in what would probably be one of his most unusual missions but which would eventually inspire him to write the project that led to the reunion of all superheroes in this narrative universe .
While watching Captain Marvel, it's impossible not to resist the temptation to compare him to another long-running heroine: Wonder Woman, Patty Jenkins' movie. The two works have points in common, such as script problems, and the fact, of course, of having their stories centered on two very strong female figures. However, Captain Marvel takes the lead by going further, inserting various female references throughout the film (especially on the soundtrack) and having a main character who does not need the male figure at his side to excel. Carol Danvers is an independent character and acts alone.
