Boring, heartless and unneeded.

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2019)

First of all, I know I'm late to review this, because most of the hype for this has already died down after Endgame, but I just watched this movie again with my family and boy did I hate it even more than I did the first time I watched it. I came in thinking that maybe I can find something to like about, to spare all the negativity, but no. This movie is just awful. I'm sorry.
The theme of feminism ruined this movie horribly. A good heroine should be able to smile and not be afraid to show us how she really feels. Smiling isn't a sign of weakness and I don't understand why the writers couldn't see this. It stripped the character of all her sense of human, humble heroism, and I just can't get by it.
Besides the unforgivably stupid, and I mean STUPID, decision the writers had made on the story behind Nick Fury's eye (which completely butchers everything his character had been building up for in the decade), there are a lot more plot holes that serve no purpose except ruin my view on Fury, as well as all the seriousness that came with his character and history laid out in previous Marvel movies. I won't go to the extent of explaining every plot hole and retcon in this movie because there are just too many, and you can easily search and find articles about them online.
This movie is just inconsistent, reckless and does not do anything to prove that Captain Marvel is the "strongest, most noble hero of them all." It only proves that feminism and forced heroism can produce extremely bad products.
Captain Marvel, being a character who has been hyped up to be the strongest hero in the universe, should have had to go through enough setbacks to get her down, but force her to get back up and redeem herself as one. But, in no time in this movie does she ever have an issue overcoming her problems, or even suffer a great loss or life-changing moment that shapes her into a better hero. She ended up staying the same, cold, lifeless tool she was at the start. Where's the change? The development? She's the hero we're all supposed to rely on to save our asses? I personally wouldn't trust someone who doesn't smile, just to prove her "toughness", to save my life and home.
Overall, the action scenes were bland, the side characters and villains were boring, the messages were poorly delivered, the twists were too predictable, and the writing was just shameful. The writing was not good nor unique. It's just a plain awful excuse for "woman empowerment", which as a female, I am embarrassed about. All the feminism in this did in the end was tear down a lot of good things the Russo brothers had pieced together nicely for the MCU.
Plus, it's not like Captain Marvel is the first ever movie to have a strong female lead, so I have no idea why people felt obliged to emphasise on that. Look at Kill Bill, V for Vendetta, Lara Croft, The Hunger Games, Underworld, Wonder Woman and Alita: Battle Angel, the list goes on. I can surely say that they are all far more superior movies with strong female leads that don't brag about having strong female leads. So, if you're a feminist looking for something like that and found it in Captain Marvel, good for you. The directors were literally aiming to please your specific crowd.
I, for one, do not appreciate this movie at all. It was just an unneeded filler that puts countless aspects of the MCU to shame. This movie gets a hard 1/10 from me, and that's just me being generous.
