A mixed bag which leaves you with an overall good feeling.

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2019)

Captain Marvel is everything but a bad movie. Now do not get me wrong, it is far from being one of the greatest Marvel movies, but it is not as bad as many critics and people describe it to be. It has a lot of ups and downs and that is the exact reason for me to describe it as a "Mixed bag". There are some funny and emotional moments (very predictable by the way) which make it worth watching for once, but then there is the big issue with the movie forcing us into liking Captain Marvel, rather then actually giving us solid reasons for doing so. And that main issue consists in the not so well built personality of the main hero (her behavior and the way she expresses herself make it hard to be likable) and after that we have the big problem of her being extremely overpowered and just being a big mash-up of some of our favorite heroes - she lacks the unique look and charisma of the other avengers. And that makes her unmemorable and lacking the unique feeling of emotional attachment that you get when seeing the other avengers. I want to note that this is definitely not Brie Larson's fault and if you want actual proof of that just watch her performance in "Room" and you will understand that she is more then capable of actually playing this character.
As for a final conclusion to this review I want to say that if you are a BIG Marvel fan like me, then you should watch this movie as it actually adds up some nice little details to the whole story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and makes it more complete, but if you are not then you can skip it without worrying as it is not an essential movie to watch before Infinity War or Endgame, unless you are not looking for a very serious movie and just want to kill the time with your friends or family or you have watched all the other Marvel movies.
