Good, story, good acting, butch hero Captain Marvel

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2019)

My partner and I enjoyed ourselves with this movie. Long ago, I've read the origin stories of the "original" Captain Marvel and his successor Ms. Marvel, and this movie has little to do with either of them (maybe with some later reboot of her origin story, but I haven't read those stories yet). The story in the movie is a very nice self-contained original reboot, set up with nice internal logic, and as many of the movie industry's superheroes undergo a reboot semi-regularly, this one is especially beautifully crafted.
Of course Stan Lee is in there. Nicely done. The movie even starts with him: the "Marvel" comic book sequence at the start contains a lot of different Stan Lee's and a lot of his quotes over the years.
This movie also stars younger versions of Agent Coulson and director Fury and they look stunning.
Brie Larson plays a butch woman, beautiful, self-assured, well-trained, with lots of character development, and different roles portraying different parts of her life: Carol Denvers, Vers, Captain Marvel. I also liked that she did not want to depend on other people. That she did not fall in love with some awesome man. That she took care of herself and others. A real hero.
I like the story development. The Kree are good, the Skrull evil, and and before that and later it seems vice-versa. Carol was human, than Kree, than human again, and now I think she might be a hybrid. There's a lot of shooting and of course the heroes aim better than the bad people. The cat, Goose, is one to pay attention to. Also, don't leave the cinema until the scene after all the credits ended, because, again, cat.
Some days ago I read that this movie amassed 455 million dollars during its opening weekend in the USA (plus what the movie made worldwide). Cool. I guess that means there will be at least one sequel. I look forward to see this integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, like in the movie Avengers: Endgame which will be released next month.
