Not surprised, very pleased

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2019)

I can't say I'm surprised that Marvel has created another entertaining pop-corn fest. I think they have earned the right not to be doubted at this stage. I'm not a comic book fan so I came into this film with very little knowledge of the Captain Marvel character and I have to say she makes a great addition to the comic book movie folklore.
This review is non-spoiler so I'll just say that please don't focus on some of the negative reviews here - I think a lot of them are politically motivated. If you put all this political talk aside what you'll actually see is just a really good comic book movie that is part funny, part action-packed, part story driven and 100% good fun.
Brie Larson, Samuel Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn are all on top of their game and with some surprising twists, great CGI sequences and an extremely satisfying end credits scene that leave you hungry for more Captain Marvel and not just the next Avengers movie!
