A Masterful Piece of Femine Empowerment

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2019)

Given Marvels admirable re-establishment of both the Captain Marvel character and story arc, this movie's prioritized elements truly shine. I feel this movie is deserving of similar praise received by both Black Panther and Wonder Woman. Each movie pocesses certain problems but it is the issues dealt with beyond the screen that gains such respects. Directly this movie serves as a commentary toward the dynamics of warfare and indirectly toward empowering female figures. On a rather negative note, this movie is not without its faults. I felt numerous plot holes where established to which the comics could provide no justification nor aid given the creation of a new plotline. Brie Larson's performance is lighthearted, whitty and distinguished. Her costume presents a pleasing nod to the comics as well as establishing a uniqueness within the cinematic universe. Samuel Jackson provides a great dynamic shared with Ms.Larson allowing for comedic relief as well as explanatory context for the previous films. Given my lower expectations and perhaps inpatient anticipation for Endgame; I was pleasantly surprised. Lastly, I feel this movie established Captain Marvels potential, capabilities, and persona in preparation for Endgame and is, therefore, a must-see movie within the genre.
