Captain Marvel: The Great and The Injustice

Rating: 6/10 (9 March 2019)

*Spoilers*
Captain Marvel has the makings of what could have been a Star Wars : A New Hope level film.
What sours this film is how Nick Fury was handled. If you look at Jim Sterenko's beautiful work and Fury's rolls throughout Marvel's history, he isn't the most powerful but he is strong, resourceful and minimal nonsense character and while Sam Jackson did great the origin for his eye was a huge disappointment and a disrespectful way to treat the character and his fans.
I loved the Skrulls, probably should have called this movie "The Skrulls." A+ They should have showcased more of their shapeshifting skills.
I didn't like how they treated Monica Rambeau as the kid who looked up to her Auntie Carroll when Monica was the FIRST woman Captain Marvel. I did like the actors who played both Rambeaus.
I enjoyed seeing The Kree minus Annette Bening. And I love Coulson and Goose. I wish Jude Law had more screen time..... his role was probably the most standout roll of the film.
Brie Larson is attractive but she seemed so unfamiliar. I didn't like her line to Fury about the pager being only for emergencies like Fury was a stalker or something. She was better than I expected, just not the answer to Wonder Woman that I had hoped for.
That said, the rest of the movie was cool, it was still Marvel, just it's best work.
I gave it a 4 because of Fury's eye origin injustice, Brie's underperformance, and lack of screen time for better fights. I'll watch it again not for Captain Marvel or Brie Larson but for Sam Jackson, The Skrulls and Jude Law.
