Enjoyable. I wonder if this review will make it past the backlash

Rating: 7/10 (8 March 2019)

Soon as I visit this page & Twitter, etc. all I see are complaints. I have been a MCU fan since the first Iron Man and I enjoyed the approach to this movie. For me, the marketing/trailers were underwhelming in comparison to the film, because I really enjoyed Brie's portrayal of Carol Danvers, the Skrulls were fantastic and Samuel L. Jackson (in my humble opinion) outperformed the entire cast. It was fantastic getting this different side to Fury. It's a great family film, with the 90s nostalgia being a character as well. I would have liked some greater stakes, however you know what's coming and the film is a fantastic set up for Endgame. That post credits scene is the cherry on top! And Mr. Goose!! I'd love to see a Goose & Groot team up one day! Again I am not sure if this review will make it past the unfair backlash (which is very fishy to me), because based off of seeing so much of it, I was prepared to hate it. This movie gives me a feel of Phase One in terms of introduction vs. 2018's Black Panther introduction which was also progressive but delivered in a more impactful way, for me. This movie also read as a big Air Force/Armed Forces advertisement and that's great to see as well. Again, to wrap this in a pretty little bow, good film, nowhere near as bad as they are making it out to be. The marketing, trailers should have been better. I certainly hope Brie CRUSHES it in Endgame even though her spunky disposition might be a bit jarring to receive at first.
