Excellent entry into the MCU

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2019)

I thought this movie would be good going in, but my expectations were exceeded.
Many of the reviews on here make zero sense. Comments like nothing was explained, weaknesses weren't exploited, or the lead actress didn't act well make no sense to me.
The story was fleshed out extremely well. We learn of her strengths/weaknesses early on (memory, morals, and over thinking....) and that she has minimal control of her powers. She has trouble sleeping and remembering things.
She shows a lot of range when it comes to interacting with Monica/Maria and Fury, as well as the Skrulls and Kree.
The time piece was really well done, right down to the outfits and hair styles.
Action scenes and visuals were stunning. Set - up the next Avengers movie well.
One thing that I always like with Marvel is that they've done a great job introducing characters and allow the feel of the stand alone movies to be different from other characters.
There really wasn't anything I majorly disliked. I understood all of the characters and what they stood for. Really enjoyed the younger Fury and Coulson. Yon-Rogg was a good character to dislike. Worth watching.
