Skip it entirely

Rating: 2/10 (2 April 2019)

Not only does this movie fail to acknowledge LONG established plot developments in regards to how the Tesseract came into Nick Fury's/SHIELD's possession, but it reduces Fury to nothing but a clown, and Carol Danvers to a mindless character with no substance or conflicts. There is no arch for her; she is the exact same person at the end of the movie that she is at the beginning. As a woman AND as a fan of the MCU from the very beginning, I find it incredibly ironic and offensive that the character that is introduced as the hero who brings about Thanos' demise is about as convincing as a cardboard cutout of Brie Larson. On a side note, I'd like to know what it was exactly that people didn't like about Black Widow as a strong female character? Was it the emotional backstory of her character? Or maybe her empathetic nature? Or the fact she didn't despise men, despite the hurt she had suffered at the hands of a few of them? Hm. Maybe it was a combination of the three.
On another note, I've already written a similar review to this, but it never got put up. I wonder why.
