Captain Generic

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2019)

I just wanna point it out first that I do NOT hate this movie. In fact, it has some good qualities to it. First is the acting. It's a Marvel movie of course. Would you expect anything less from the acting? Jude Law does a great job of being Yon Rogg. He presents himself as a serious leader and after the twist, he presents himself as a maniac who cares about nothing but maintaining order to Kree. And of course, Samuel Jackson does an amazing job as being his recurring Marvel role. The effects are absolutely gorgeous as well. From the Supreme intelligence, to the shots of space, to the way each power is so detailed. But, that's also the problem. This movie is so generic. When I saw it, i didn't really see what the hype was about. It was just your typical origin story like First Avenger or Iron Man 1. There was nothing new that made it cool. Black Panther was unique because it had a very sophisticated story that was about running your country and learning how to be a leader while also bringing in a social commentary in the form of a brilliant performance by Michael B. Jordan. Iron Man was unique because it was all about a war both between making weapons of war and making weapons of peace. It was intelligent, it was funny, and it was beautifully acted. Jeff Bridges did an amazing job as Stane. The point I'm trying to make here is that each Marvel movie had something to it to make it unique. Black Panther had social commentary, Infinity War had the tension and suspense, Hell, even a movie like Incredible Hulk had a great villain and that Leader ending that kept us all in question. That being said, this movie is just generic and bland. The villain is forgettable, the jokes are like any other Marvel jokes, and Brie Larson fails as being Captain Marvel. Don't get me wrong she is a good actress, but she isn't the kind of person I see when I see the most powerful heroine in the Marvel Universe. I wanna bring Stan Lee back from the dead. He'll show you how it's done. Long story short: skip this movie. You won't be missing anything if you don't see it. I wanted to give this movie a 5 Star rating, maybe even a 6. But, sorry Marvel, I love you, I'm your biggest fan, but you better step up your game for Far From Home or you're never getting my money again
