Captain Marvel: An honest, neutral review snippet

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2019)

"Okay" at best. Better than low budget Netflix movies. Worse than most MCU movies. Worth a watch because she'll be a big part of the MCU going forward. Good popcorn flick if you just don't focus on the bad. It's a superhero movie with good CGI.
Good:
Has THE best Stan Lee cameo, by far. Samuel Jackson played a younger and much more gleeful Nick Fury really well. Movie wasn't preachy with it's messages as I feared, so it was easy to sit through. Good CGI as expected from a Marvel space movie. 90s nostalgia if you lived in the US at that time or saw a lot of movies from that time.
Okay:
Fight scenes are just meh. Jokes are meh. Pacing of the story can feel off at times (A big plot point of her amnesia stricken backstory was revealed literally at the first minute). Okay soundtrack.
Bad:
Brie's acting. TBH it may not have been her fault. Her (CM) personality feels fragmented between a super serious and stoic soldier and a playful person and she switches them at times where it demands the other. There were two directors so maybe that was it?
Some of the plot make absolutely NO sense.
She comes off way too powerful, and her reasons behind her being so powerful doesn't make much sense in the context of the ongoing MCU.
