A fun entertainer

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2019)

A fun superhero entertainer with pre-avengers Fury and all the intergalactic war drama.
The movie is not a home run, having said that it has it's good moments. The origin story and the manner of revealing it bit by bit keeps the suspense alive. The superhero effects are quite fun to watch (especially in 3D) although it is quite similar to other Marvel effects.
Brie Larson is not the best cast for this, I can totally imagine Melissa McCarthy kicking ass as Captain Marvel, but that's a rant for another day. Intergalactic war could have made for a great climax, but it was for some reason cut short and hence didn't make for a great climax. Instead, the fight with Kree which is the penultimate one, becomes the main battle.
Fury, is fun. In his pre-avengers avatar, he manages to reveal more of his cheerful, funny side and finally we know what happened to his eye. The cat twist is great an unexpected.
Overall, a fun-one-time watch superhero-action movie.
