My Honest Personal Review

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2019)

Look, the movie isn't amazing, and it's not terrible either, it's fine. This is my personal review and keep in mind at this point I've only seen the movie once, so take it with a grain of salt. I feel very conflicted and I'm struggling to give this movie a 7/10, but I don't think a 6/10 is fair either. The Film can definitely be entertaining at most points, however I feel like in general the movie is lacking a sense of visual style and identity, at points the lighting isn't the best, which makes some of the action sequences frustrating to watch, and I feel like the movie is trying to balance too many story archetypes and which doesn't allow enough time to really flesh them out properly.
The CGI on Samuel L. Jackson's face is simply impressive, it becomes really unnoticeable, which is great. On the contrary, at some points when you look at Captain Marvel herself, you can definitely say to yourself, 'that's a 3D render'. But besides that, the CGI is fine
I don't think Brie Larson is bad in it at all, but she definitely wasn't given much to do, my impression is that because they wanted the character to be a strong female pillar, they gave her the emotional range of an actual stone pillar. Carol Danvers doesn't really show any emotional vulnerability, nor does she show any growth as a character, besides not knowing the truth in the first act, and knowing said truth in the third.
Her power is seemingly unexplained, and the fact that Carol only gets a power up because the antagonists were holding her down, does not feel earned at all. As a character she does nothing to earn this upgrade except for the bad villain man saying, 'you need to have control', and the good hero woman saying, 'don't tell me what to do'.
Goose the cat was nice, but it didn't really surprise me personally, which was a bummer, and my personal gripe , the way Nick Fury loses his eye , It's funny yeah, but it was so disappointing.
All in all, I feel like I need to watch the movie again, and try to watch it for what it is, and not what I expect it to be.
Thanks for reading.
