I love that cat

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2019)

This movie starts off by showing Captain Marvel (I'll just call her that) in space fighting the Skrulls. I admit that I was hoping this would turn into a scenario like "Thor" where she would go to Earth and be unfamiliar with the surroundings. Guess what happened next? This actually takes place in 1995. To really hammer it in, they have her crashing into a Blockbuster in the opening scene. It's funny to see how long it took for computers to load in that time.
The scene stealer is Goose the cat (?). He's revealed to be an alien that can have tentacles come out of his mouth to fight. It's great to see before the initiative for the Avengers was even formed. I especially love finding out how Nick Fury lost his eye...a cat scratch! There's this great twist that happens halfway through the movie timed so perfectly. It's great to have such a great movie be the MCU's first one to stare a woman! ***1/2
