Would watch many times over

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2019)

There were good and eh things about this movie, obviously. I do agree that her not having a weakness didn't make me feel like she was in any real danger at any point, but that, personally, didn't make that big of a difference. I get why people think that Brie's acting was bland. But considering that Carol was trained to repress her emotions, I think Brie did great. You could really see Carol struggling with trying to keep her emotions in check.
I do think some people were just disregarding a lot of the amazing things about the movie. For starters, it had an amazing message for little girls. In her flashbacks, it was always men berating her and such. And it showed her being the strong female she is, and standing up after she fell. The most important part was when Carol didn't fight Yon-Rogg in hand to hand combat at the end. It showed young girls that they don't have anything to prove to anyone. And it was a nice detour from previous superhero movies where the hero did something similar to prove themselves. Carol was a badass, and there was so many moments where I just thought, "god, shes cool."
The soundtrack and overall 90's nostalgia was amazing. It added a very nice vibe to the movie. The pacing was fine, in my opinion. The plot was also very good, and the Kree plot twist made her backstory really unique and cool. Kree villains were kind of underwhelming, but maybe that was just because we all knew Carol was more powerful than them. The humor was nice, and timed well. However sometimes Carols snarky comments felt a bit forced. Only very few times did it feel like that, though.
But really, it was an amazing movie. I don't understand all the bad reviews. It was enjoyable to watch, and very empowering.
