She's gonna make for a great sequel some day

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2019)

This by no means is a great movie. Captain Marvel is at about the same level as Captain America's and Thor's first outing. It doesn't do anything new, and pretty much serves as filler to tide us over until Endgame takes over. But, the movie has it's moments. There's a great motif about "controlling your emotions" that surely hit a lot of women close to home, and it was wonderful to see a female character with no love interest in sight in a completely non-sexualized uniform. On top of that, Larson and Jackson had great chemistry that carried the movie. In fact, the whole cast did a pretty great job with the material they were given. So while this film sadly isn't the great origin story so many were hoping for, there's definitely a solid foundation for a fantastic sequel.
