Enjoyable prequel to the MCU canon.

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2019)

Captain Marvel is the only MCU film to date where the character has 'Marvel' in their official title; and even though it's not the MCU's greatest film, it's still great time-'killing' entertainment. This will become a perennial favourite for families craving more superhero action-adventure movies to add to their already expansive library. Its 90s references, Superman parallels and Samuel L. Jackson make a pretty good time to be had at the cinema. Though its main character arc is uncannily identical to Thor's journey in Thor Ragnarok it does its job well, and it's feel-good Hollywood through and through in the end.
Captain Marvel gets a high 3.5/5 star-rating.
