Good film to offer a deeper look into the MCU

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2019)

Its not the best Marvel film out there but also far from the worst. It finds itself pretty much in the higher midsection. Before the film was announced I really was not familiar with the character and so everything was new and surprising for me. The concept itself was interesting.... I loved that it took part in a different era, although I had hoped they would emphasize even more on that 90s feeling and with more references.
The plot itself had promising and well done moments but also some rather mediocre ones, that really weren't too interesting to follow. What I really liked was that it also worked as a origin movie for the character Nick Fury. Also I liked that characters from various other films pop up here and there.
The acting was fine. Brie Larson was quite well, not really amazing or anything but she fitted her role adequately . I liked Samuel L. Jackson who portrayed here the younger version of Nick Fury. Great performance with which he obviously had a lot of fun. Jude Law was often a bit overacting, in the first half of the film he is all right but it was a bit too much in the second. I did like Annette Bening however.... an unusual role and one that could have been very one dimensional but she added a lot to it. Exciting cameos by Chris Evens, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo.
Its really worth to see especially if you want to understand the MCU itself a bit better.
