I'll say it doesn't deserve the bad rep it's getting on here

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2019)

In all honesty I was giving it a 7. Having said that, I look at all the awful reviews and biased opinions and had to bump it up to the 8 (you know, just for good measure).
As far as staying true to the comics is concerned, it didn't. However, that's never been Marvel's deal. They've never stayed 100% true to their source material and that's okay (even if this did stray quite a bit more than usual).
Brie's portrayal of Carol is a bit lacking when it came to emotional peaks (discovering her past) but she was quite charismatic the other 95% of the time.
Nick Fury's eye was a bit of a let down (seriously Marvel, cat got your...).
I've been an enormous fan of the MCU since its inception as well as the comic source material it all stems from. This movie is a valued addition to the universe and I look forward to Brie's progression.
At the end of the day, my opinion (and thankfully, no one else's on here) really matters to you, ya know the three of you that will end up reading the entirety of my review.
