Sure has its flaws, but entertaining enough

Rating: 7/10 (23 April 2019)

First of all, people will always rebel against anything that's been forced unto them... Doesn't matter what, oppression from the government, injustice, lack of fair play, etc, so it's easy to understand (if you are not familiar with the premise that happened even before the film was released, maybe not so easy to understand) the hatred this movie gets from fans all over the world... Marvel did it wrong and is experiencing a fan backlash online, and I can only hope that they will learn from their mistakes. Having said that, I now can sincerely review this title as a movie, not as an act of women fighting men and winning (of course)...
Downsides... Obviously, this flick serves as warm-up for Endgame and since it's been filmed after, the editing rush is the greatest enemy Captain Marvel has. Jumping from scene to scene happens too often and it doesn't let the plot unfold correctly. CGI has its moments, but most of the time was "they could've done that better". Score was uninspiring, not bad, just not right in the moment. Acting was believable enough... Certainly not the Oscar material, but I don't think that they were aiming for that...
Not much left for the upsides, right? Well, this film is entertaining from start to finish, me and my spouse have enjoyed it during entire screen time. Couple of funny jokes, top-notch action, 90's look and feel, multiple nodes to the 90's action films... Plot was ok, whoever saw Guardians of the Galaxy is familiar with the villains, so no big surprises there. All in all, a decent picture.
Those one star reviews, come on people, really? I read some of them, almost persuaded me not to see this one... Plain hate, most of it unnecessary. One said something like "film never showed us how she got those powers, we just have to accept it?".... No friend, you just have to watch the whole movie, not just the first 15 minutes.
I rated it 7 stars because, in spite of its multiple flaws and editing problems, the two of us left the cinema smiling and satisfied, and that's what matters the most, right?
