A great Marvel flick that ties in the MCU perfectly

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2019)

No, the acting isn't terrible. No, the story isn't boring. No, Brie Larson isn't the worst ever. The acting is great, the story is good and Brie Larson is the perfect actress for the role. Captain Marvel delivers on its expectations and entertains the viewers just like any film in the ever-expanding MCU franchise.
The many harsh "reviews" (I use the term loosely) are clearly agenda-driven and should be disregarded. Captain Marvel is a solid movie that fits within the overall MCU narrative like a perfect glove. While I can't state that Captain Marvel is the best movie in the franchise yet (I believe the Avengers films to be at the top of the list), I can claim without the shadow of a doubt that it does its job and it does it well.
The plot takes us on a journey in which we discover the origin of the protagonist and how she came to meet the ever-present Nick Fury. Throughout the story, we discover details of the MCU that hadn't been yet revealed. These elements are presented organically and are never shoved down our throats, so much so that you might even miss a few.
The actors and actresses involved all do a great job. No point singling them out, as the cast collectively delivers the script with plenty of charm, humor and drama during the more serious scenes.
This is probably the first movie you should watch if you've been living under a rock and haven't yet watched these great Marvel films, or if you simply want to watch them all again.Starting with a younger Nick Fury during the events that describe his meeting with the fabled Miss Marvel make for a great entry point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
All in all, Captain Marvel is a great origin movie and it should be taken as such. The purpose of the movie was to introduce to us a new character in the franchise, and with that in mind, Captain Marvel doesn't disappoint.
