It is not politics but bad writing that destroys this movie

Rating: 3/10 (14 July 2019)

I had written a very long review about how the issue with this film is the writing and lack of development of the main character that is never really threaded. I did this by comparing the unstoppable Danvers to the Terminator, the difference between them being that we need to understand Danvers since she is the bloody protagonist while Arnold is a object of childish terror whose motivation is irrelevant since he simply wishes to kill Sarah Connor. But then it got deleted so...
But before I start with my review I just wanted to say that I really looked forward to this movie. Personally I would have prefered a Black Widow movie instead of one focusing on what is essentially an intergalactic Captain America with all the judgmental attitude and perceived superiority of the original.
Anyway, to quickly sum it up. The issue with the movie is that Danvers trough editing and writing becomes one of the least interesting characters in her own movie. Never in the movie is she directly threaded by anything, she is always in control and therefore she is not forced to develop as a character and reveal more about herself. Meanwhile, the supposed bad guy is faced with enormous odds and sacrifices everything to achieve his goals, this makes it easy to understand his motivations and character development and he becomes somewhat relatable (even if it is silly and rather badly made as well). The only thing Danvers sacrifice in this movie is a friend on earth and a couple of t-shirts, but since she reconnects with her friend and grabs the clothing i guess this becomes a moot point. Out of all the marvel movies this one does the WORST job of introducing a protagonist. And the lack of continuity regarding knowledge about aliens and how the Tesseract was dealt with, seriously it is just a badly written movie with no character development and fight scenes inspired by Guardians of the galaxy. As the 20th or is it the 21st movie of the franchise I can understand copying features from the earlier movies, but that does not excuse the lack of story, Even the first two Thor movies and Iron man 2 did a better job of fleshing out characters, if that is not enough to describe the state of this movie then I don't know what to say.
//When it comes to grading a movie it is always difficult to present a holistic grade, especially since I might present a truly Great movie with the same score as a cheesy horror flick which objectively is less good. However I always try to score movies based on their premise, if the movie does what it has set out to do then it deserves a high grade.
