An origin story with a twist

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2019)

I've been seeing a ton of hate for this movie, and I don't personally see why. I just came out of the theatre and I was very satisfied. Let me explain.
The character development wasn't as bad as people say. She isn't the most fleshed our character by far, but she has a lot of amazing and badass moments, as well as some really personal ones.
Fury was good too, and the way he lost his eye, yes, was played off as a joke. I think they had a better opportunity towards the beginning of the movie to do it, but I'm not too angry at the way he lost it.
The 90s nostalgia didn't take me out of the movie at all. Yes there were some used as jokes, but it never took me out of a scene.
The world building was great! They did a good job selling me on the kree, and the skrulls stole the show. There wasn't a ton of shape shifting, but when it did happen it kept me on the edge of my seat. The thing that bothered me the most about this part was Ronan. He didn't need to be in the movie at all, and was just as fleshed our as in Vol. 1.
Also, let me say that Captain Marvel is POWERFUL! People have been complaining that she isn't as powerful as Thor taking a dying star, but this movie takes place nearly 2 decades prior to Endgame, and IT WAS A FREAKING ORIGIN STORY! Thor couldn't take a dying star in his origin movie, but he developed that over time. Even then, Carol just found her powers in this movie, and from what we were shown I would 100% believe she could beat up Thor.
So overall, I'd compare this movie to Dr Strange. The character development was probably better than it, it did a lot of world building, and she will probably be better once she can fully utilize her powers more. Don't go in expecting the movie to be the worst thing ever, it's not. I very much enjoyed it.
If you have problems, fine. But they are nothing we haven't seen before in the MCU. Solid 8/10 for me. Go and see it to judge it for yourself. Very much worth your time.
