A bit average in comparison to recent Marvel flicks

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2019)

Overall an enjoyable enough movie, but I found that it was a little bit uninteresting compared to the main Marvel movies. While not a bad movie, it just doesn't have much special to it and perhaps is a little boring. I enjoyed the first half of the movie more than the second. There really weren't any characters in the movie that were interesting... Captain Marvel and Nick Fury were of course the only two characters worth paying attention to while all other orbiting characters were cardboard and lacked depth.
Liked: The score was alright, with some 90s music thrown in. I felt the music worked well and complimented the time period this was supposed to take place in. Was nice to see a Blockbuster video store.
Didn't like: But the story was a bit boring... learning about her past wasn't super interesting for Captain Marvel. The action scenes were CGI heavy and things never felt consequential. Overall too generic of an action / comic book hero movie in a time of over saturation. Maybe the movie would have been better received if it came out in the 90s?
Watch again? No.
Would recommend? Sure, but only for Marvel fans.
Was it worth it? Yes, but only because I enjoy Marvel movies and wanted to see how this fits in the big picture. I liked her character overall, I just feel that this particular script didn't do that much other than introduce her character. Superhero movies need to try harder than this to stay relevant.
