It's fine and that's okay

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2019)

The movie is fine. It gives us an origin of this character that can supposedly stop Thanos. In the end, I don't feel her arc justifies that ability. She goes from unsure of her ability and shackled by it, to instantly being able to wreck everything. The feminist touches on the movie were very apparent and a little on the nose, but also fit well within the movie and they don't detract from the movie. I had fun with the action scenes, even though a lot of them end up just being Captain Marvel shooting blasts out of her hands and winning. Most of the best parts were thanks to the supporting cast. Brie is a great actress, but she was not given room to show that here. Her performance was a little boand. She was either snarky or stoic. I am honestly curious how many words she was given since it seemed like she did not talk as often as you would expect the main character to be.
Overall, it doesn't deserve the hate, but it doesn't deserve the praise either.
