A breath of fresh air

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2019)

I love the Marvel movies, I really do, but even I've started to get superhero movie fatigue and if I have to see one more formulaic origin story movie I'm going to scream.
This isn't that. This isn't a movie about a person becoming a hero, this is a movie about a hero becoming a person, about embracing what makes her human as a strength, not a weakness, and about how being strong is not just about how hard you can hit and how well you can fight.
I know exactly why people are rating it low and that says more about them then it does about this movie, because honestly, what's not to like? Yes, it feels a little less action packed then some others but those moments where Carol Danvers isn't kicking huge amounts of ass are important and heartfelt and I damn near cried at some points.
Ignore the hate, go see this movie and love it for what it is instead of complaining that it's different from other Marvel movies. Yes, it's different, but that's what makes it so refreshing.
