A Great Fun Adventure

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2019)

This film has so much buzz about it right now and I have seen Captain Marvel and I feel like this film won't be remembered as one of the better MCU films but is still a very fun film with some really positive moments. The premise of the film sees in the 90's an alien warrior arrives on Earth and hunts down an alien threat to the planet. Brie Larson plays Captain Marvel and she does a great job in this film, the trailers make out that she is a stoic character but she really isn't, she is likeable and actually quite funny. When she does have to provide emotion she does a great job and you actually feel sorry and really root for her. The supporting cast is great to watch, Samuel L Jackson repries his role as Nick Fury, but a younger version and he is so entertaining to watch. Its nice to see this more entertaining and likeable character here when you know what he will become. Also his and Larson's chemistry is very good in this film and really carries this film. Ben Mendholson plays Talos the leader of the skrulls and this is definitley one of the better villains in the MCU. He has depth to him and even a bit of humour to him that makes him interesting and different from the traditional antagonists in this universe. Jude Law plays her Kree commander and he does a very good job in this film, his performance rises above the writing for the character which is quite basic but he does a good job. Lashana Lynch plays her friend in this film and she does a great job, she provides some real humanity to this film and a nice difference to everybody else in the film. The Story of the film is interesting as you see her trying to piece her past together and wondering where exactly it leads. Also there is a big twist in this film and it made this film way more interesting for me. But apart rom that twist this film is very predictable, and this film manages to ruin a moment the majority of fans have been waiting for years to see. The script is very good, making you care when they really want you too, also suprisingly this film is much funnier then i expected and had a little bit of a Guardians of the Galaxy feel to it which did work. The style of the film sees some good design choices for the characters and locations which were interesting. But the action scenes aren't that memorable, especially the close quarters action which I thought were poorly filmed. Overall this is a very fun film that if you are a fan of comic book movies is definitley worth a watch.
