Captain Marvel
First let the opening credits that showed all the variations of all the cameos that the late and great Stan Lee showed in the scenes as the Marvel opening credits is flashed and shown the most indelible and memorable and emotional is the one that shows the great late Stan Lee with Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr. who began the now 21 Marvel film franchise with Iron Man in 2008. Now let us get some plot points, the young Brie Larson who was perfectly cast to do this film, who is full of empathy, also like her Oscar winning role in Room, Larson as actress can show full vulnerability and in this film Larson showed how confused she is. Larson believes in her hearts of hearts that she is part of the noble heroes' warriors' race named the Kree. Like many things when you truly do not remember who you are and have amnesia, it is difficult to know who you are and thus is the story of LarsonÂ´s as she is named Vers by his Starforce unit. The Kree is a race of alleged noble warriors heroes who are pitted in an intergalactic war between them and the Skrulls who are shape shifting and can copy the DNA and appearance of any living universal creature. The plot is mostly set from 1989 towards 1995, as there LarsonÂ´s Vers falls into the Earth between the ones of the great booming businesses back then with special offers like five new movies for five days for 9.99 dollars, it was Blockbuster renting of movies back then. Vers when she is in Earth makes acquaintance with Nicholas Fury, who is the second at command at SHIELD and is partnered by a young rookie Agent Coulson. Then in one of the great love letters to the creator of Marvel when one of the shape shifters goes to a Los Angeles train and subway and LarsonÂ´s Vers must find out the alien, she takes a look at a sage and elder and one of the ancients reading the newspapers as the sage man and ancient and the commuter is not other than the late Stan Lee who repeats a saying over and over and then Larson as Vers when she sees Stan Lee, she smiles a secret smile of respect and giving tribute and offering to the late Stan Lee, overall there is a great respect for the creator of Marvel and there is more curiosity for what is store in Avengers Endgame, but truly both tributes of Stan Lee, the opening Marvel credits with all the Stan Lee cameos and this LarsonÂ´s grin and warm smile of deference and respect to the late Stan Lee, truly are moving. Overall the movies works because Larson is the type of actress that wins your empathy, it is no accident that she won her Oscar for the movie Room, she is well casted and then when she learns about her true terrestrial origins, the climax and the denouement of the film appears. There is a cameo appearance of Ronan the Accuser trying to subdue Earth but now Larson who finally discovers what makes her strong is her humanity now discovers the true identity of her past as she Carol Davers and one of her former pilot friends helps her find her way back home. There are also many episodes where there is a lot of misogyny against Carol Devers, from his parents, especially his insidious father and brother, also US Air Force pilots and academy fly lieutenants that deign and belittle and disdain the courageous. There is a good montage that all the memories of LarsonÂ´s Carol Devers appeared from being a young girl, racing cars, talking a high and close inside pitch in softball or baseball, also of Larson throwing herself into ropes in military exercise, and also the moment when Carol Devers became more than just a human, but a super heroine and having the powers of Captain Marvel or like they say two words Mar-Vell. There is a great ending credit scene that put the big guns back together with Captain America Steve Rogers, Doctor Banner, agent Romanov among others trying still to page and contact like did Agent Nickolas Fury at the end of Avengers Infinity War, and just like that she is back with the groups of EarthÂ´s greatest heroes, in her Air Force red, blue colors, there she is back to defend earth and a good tease for Avengers Endgame, LarsonÂ´s Captain Marvel appears and asked what happened to her friend Nick Fury in front of the Avengers. The movie Captain Marvel works in that rare hybrid of both a prequel and a sequel of the Avengers and Marvel films and it does work well due of the good and spirited and empathy actress performance of Brie Larson who will appear in Avengers Endgame.
