Not too bad, but those cliches ...

Rating: 6/10 (12 March 2019)

I am never a huge fan of superhero movies. For me, they are basically a rewritten story of a hero becoming with different background, an enemy, lots of comedy, explosions, and expensive visual effects, and also don't forget the lost of their loved ones along with a quest to save the world in their next movies. While it's predictable, I find myself quite enjoy for all side dishes that always served nicely, ultimately from MCU. However, at the same time these movies also leave me bored due to repeated sequences of cliches, and Captain Marvel just loves to prove me right, with a nice twisting touch.
Captain Marvel rather play it safe, due to the similar plot that you may see in every other superhero movies. While at least it's different because it has (1) twist (a predictable, but a good one), (2) cat turns to be a dangerous creature, and (3) explicit women empowerment, Captain Marvel surely adding no more to a cliche or a plot of superhero movie, it only follows it, and quite good (in technical aspects) to check all the cliche marks. However, this movie also makes me realize how predictable a superhero movie is.
The movie and similar movies clearly doesn't want to give any new thing except that connection to other movies. It is a letdown, because I really want to like a movie as a standalone movie that I can enjoy on its own. Making a movie with lots of budget with nothing new in the technical aspect, plot, and only gives connection, is just stale. Sure, it's recommended for those who longing for Marvel movies, but I think that we are in the limit of the plot development in superhero movies, and all movies are just a part of a big movie series, leaves nothing but cliches and connection.
