Great fun, great hero!

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2019)

My family saw this movie twice on opening weekend. I have been a long-time #CarolCorps member, but my husband and 7 year old daughter knew very little about the character (other than that I liked her). We all loved the movie. It was a lot of fun, great action, good humor, a nice twist of pathos.
The only thing that I would change is that I would have loved to have seen more from her pre-Kree life. All we get are a few momentary flashes and Maria's short-hand description of her family, and I think that took some of the real deep pain away from what she'd gotten through and lost and the victory of getting it back.
Best review of all though was me asking my daughter what she thought and her taking a strong stance and slamming her fist into her palm Carol-style and then giving me a huge grin and asking if she can dress as Captain Marvel for Halloween.
