Brie Larson not the right actress for this role

Rating: 3/10 (25 March 2019)

I felt the pacing was a bit uneven in this movie, especially the action scenes. One scene in particular stood out and it was the one where Ronan's earthbound missiles were thwarted with little to no effort, the editing made it seem trivial somehow. The stakes felt non-existent, every scene where Captain Marvel was kicking ass felt hollow, no thanks to weird soundtrack choices. Just a Girl? Really?
Brie also had a clumsiness to her, not often you see that in any Marvel movie, the ladies in Black Panther moved with more grace. This movie really showed how Gal Gadot's previous military training gave her that extra edge in action scenes and I do not rate Wonder Woman at all. In fact, I think it's another over-rated movie.
Last point I would like to make, the jokes were flat throughout and if it weren't for Ben Mendelsson I think I wouldn't even give this movie any stars. The fact that someone could out-act you while wearing layers of prosthetic make-up should perhaps make you reflect on your abilities as an actor. But why bother improving oneself when you could just blame it all on male toxicity and lack of diversity.
I felt cheated of my time and money for this movie but I have no doubts many of you reading this will disagree with me and call it a great movie. Let's agree to disagree, maybe in 10 years' time, when all this giddy political and identity politics have hopefully run its course, we might then earn some objective perspective on what a clusterflerken this movie truly was.
