Don't listen to all the hating fanboys out there...

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2019)

Okay, well granted I don't have much of an active interest in superhero movies, but I still do watch them whenever I am given the chance. And recently I had the chance to sit down and watch the 2019 "Captain Marvel" movie. Needless to say that I had heard all the moaning and groaning online about this movie, which was the same with "The Last Jedi", lots of fanboys experience pains in a certain backside location.
I enjoyed "Captain Marvel". I honestly did, and I can't find any hold in all the grief that this movie has been getting online. I guess it takes very little for a tsunami of hatred to get out of control, all thanks to elitist fanboys. Come on, this is a movie meant to entertain, it is not innovative movement within brain surgery or curing cancer. This is a movie. Plain and simple.
The movie had a very simple and straight forward story, making it very easy to follow. So, as with most superhero movies, you just lean back and enjoy the action-packed ride. And yes, this is an action-packed ride.
Needless to say that with this being a Marvel movie, the special effects and CGI are top notch, as it has generally been in most previous Marvel superhero movies thus far. The CGI really helps bring the movie to life on the screen with realistic-looking special effects that also look spectacular on the screen.
Personally I don't get all the grief that has fallen upon Brie Larson. I enjoyed her performance in "Captain Marvel". Again, take into consideration that this is a superhero movie, not a heavy drama with intricate dialogue like "Good Will Hunting" or the like. The characters in "Captain Marvel" served their purpose and the dialogue was befitting of the characters and their progression throughout the course of the movie.
While on the cast, then I must say that it was quite nice to see Jude Law in a movie such as this, just a shame that he wasn't given more on-screen time. And, of course, Samuel L. Jackson, well, he is Samuel L. Jackson, enough said, right? You know what you get with him in a movie. Then there was Goose, the cat. That was just a hilarious and wonderful character, and that character added a wonderful comedy element to the movie, and it fitted into the movie quite well.
Personally, I must say that "Captain Marvel" was enjoyable to watch, and I was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire course of the movie. So, don't assume beforehand judgmental assimilations for this movie without having seen it. Who knows, you might just find it to be quite enjoyable.
