The ending saved the movie for me

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2019)

To tell you the truth I went into Captain Marvel with low expectations. It was not due to Captain Marvel being a women, but because of trailers with Brie Larson's cheesy robotic lines. I didn't feel she fit the part, and was trying a bit to hard to be to tough. To my surprise after watching the movie, I have changed my mind. I don't think Brie was the reason the acting seemed bad, but it was the director or the scripts fault. I thought Brie Larson was pretty good, and did the best she could with what she has to work with.
The movie starts off with a bang, with Captain Marvels Kree Team (Starforce) going in for a rescue. It has plenty of action, and you can tell right away the movie has a big budget. But, soon after this high point the long origin story begins. This is when all of those trailer scenes comes back to haunt the movie. The movie seems to try to hard to be funny at times, and it was enough to make me cringe. I didn't find the cop buddy drama with Samuel L. Jackson very interesting, and the movie started to drag on. I almost was at the point of giving up, and going back to my original assumptions about the movie. But, when she meets up with her best friend from earth, the movie starts to make a turn. I thought the relationship between them was pretty good, even though some things didn't make sense. It was the ending however, that ultimately saved the movie for me. It was one of the best character realizing that she can kick some..., I have ever seen. It is as epic an ending as it can be, and really shows why Captain Marvel is so powerful.
