Not Marvellous

Rating: 5/10 (7 March 2019)

This is a superhero movie which could have been so much more!!!! It's a strange mix to say the least, the action scenes are tame, with Captain Marvel so much more powerful than anyone else the result of the skirmishes are never in doubt and hence not much fun as the progress. The only thing she really has to battle with is some weird off key attempts at one liners, a touch of amnesia and keeping the audience interested whilst virtue signalling some political agenda. The plot itself is fairly standard with mild paced action with the lulls of backstory which is difficult to buy into. The characters are so run of the mill without much personality there is little interest in their story. It was quite preachy and the unsubtle messages being pushed across the big screen were a big turn-off. Overall it's on par with Thor: Dark Workd as far as entertainment goes with nothing groundbreaking for the genre.
