Promised much, but in the end it simply didn't deliver.

Rating: 3/10 (9 March 2019)

As a long time fan and collector of Marvel comics, I was really looking forward to this latest entry in the MCU. Unfortunately, this movie was extremely disappointing.
The story was formulaic to the point of being completely boring (just like Crimes of Grindelwald, I found myself looking forward to the movie to be over). What should have been a great superhero movie turned into a complete snoozer.
Stand out performances by Samuel L. Jackson (who is always great), but I have to say the explanation for how he lost his eye is almost as lame as Luke Skywalker throwing his father's lightsaber over his shoulder. Of course, the CGI was very well done, as we've come to expect from an MCU movie.
I think Brie Larsen was a terrible miscast as Carol Danvers. I don't want to say the acting was terrible, but it definitely was not good, and she just doesn't have the chops to play a convincing superhero. I would love to have seen Katee Sackoff in this role instead!
Of course, there was tons of 90s nostalgia, which was mildly interesting since I was a young adult at that time. I also liked the Stan Lee tribute (Mallrats reference was awesome!).
Overall, it was just a very uninteresting movie. I'd recommend waiting to see this one on Netflix.
