Highly entertaining superhero origin story with lots of humor included.

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2019)

My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. It runs right at 2 hours, there is a 30-second homage to Stan Lee at the very beginning, with the words "Thank You Stan", and even a 30-second scene after all the credits are finished, the orange cat in Nick Fury's office shows us what happened to the sought-after blue energy cube.
Brie Larson is Carol Danvers who, in the late 1980s, becomes a jet fighter pilot. But we first see her with the Kree, they call her "Vers" because the only part of her dog tag that survived an incident contained the last 4 letters of her Danvers name. She is confused, she has dreams and visions but doesn't understand what they mean. When she accidentally travels back to Earth in 1995 things gradually become clear.
The IMdb main page for this movie has a good synopsis in the "Storyline" section. What I also like about the style here is ample use of humor. They don't take themselves too seriously. It is the origin story for Captain Marvel and some drastic event is responsible for her gaining her super powers. Now she can go about helping to guard the galaxy.
I am aware there are many very bad user reviews, many of them one-liners saying nothing about the movie, and often rating it "1" or "2". Those are all clearly bogus, all of us IMDb users who have written hundreds or thousands of prior reviews agree that it is a worthwhile, entertaining movie that fits well in the Marvel universe.
We watched it a second time, two days later, when we had a group over for dinner. Everyone enjoyed it and I enjoyed it as much the second time.
