The Marvel Movie we have been Needing.

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2019)

This movie has all the charm, fun, and adventure we have come to expect from Marvel movies but also has a great message, and is the female lead that we need. The power and strength that Brie Larson brings to the character is not forced but naturally confident. And puts her in the rightful position to her male supporting cast, as the hero of her own story.
Admittingly I am not all that familiar with Captain Marvel from the comics. But having said that I can not tell you how refreshing it is to see her introduced in this movie without being a standard "origin story." In the writting a unique balance was found to tell her origins without the same old boring starting at the beginning of her life linier evolution of the hero gaining their powers, where we don't get to see any true action until the last 30 mins of the movie. This movie jumps right into the action and we as the audience learn more and more about her as she does in the context of the story.
And finally it begins to bridge the gap quite nicely in the Avengers story line.
