Much better than expected

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2019)

I thought it'd be a good movie, but it was way better than I expected. I'm picky, and it was certainly in my top 3 favorite marvel movies (but I love aviation.) I thought the space battles were on par with Star Wars Episode 7 (better than guardians) and the story had lots of depth. It brought back memories and parallels with "The Rocketeer". Cookie cutter Marvel? Maybe. Origin stories always are "cookie cutter". This one was by far out of the norm though. Brie Larson was great! Funny but not cocky. Minimal feminist undertones (for those complaining). Let's face it, life sucked for the first female pilots and still sort of does.
I honestly overlooked the gender and thought she was a total badass regardless of gender. Better than the Wonder-woman and the English speaking German supporting characters. The best part is that her story is an underdog story, and it has a character that channels her weakness into a strength. Sort of something most normies will relate to.
