bad writing

Rating: 3/10 (8 March 2019)

This was IMPRESSIVELY bad writing. It has many good ideas, all badly executed, forced and hastily implemented. There are many examples: how Danvers and Fury react with each other (especially from Fury's side, who's supposed to be unprepared for a blond alien warrior shooting photon beams out of hands!!), how Danvers is "BFF" with Rambeau (prepare for a cringe fest after their reunion), how Danvers suddenly feels empowered and kicks ass out of nowhere. What was holding her before? No one can tell. And even this new perspective she comes with in the end feels so unearned... Btw, the way she says "My name is Carol", I was palm facing so much, I dug a whole into my scull. Also the feminist side is really forced as well. Feminism in this film is as superficial as it gets. There are no real issues, just slogans and insults like "human male: harmless". This is not feminism, that's exploiting feminism for cheap advertising. Battles with 90s popular songs? It took me out of the film immediately. Even Brie Larson, an otherwise fine actress, has a monotone look and behavior, like she's snobby and sarcastic all the time. Probably one of the worst executed Marvel films I've ever seen...
