A big, boring letdown

Rating: 1/10 (18 March 2019)

I just watched Captain Marvel last night, and it was a big, boring letdown. It'll be one superhero movie I'll probably never rewatch. I went into the cinema hoping to see an MCU version of Wonder Woman. Instead, what I got was a paint-by-number effort with no real effort to distinguish itself. It's not a bad movie, it's just boring.
Wonder Woman has a rating of 7.5 on IMDB and Captain Marvel's is 7.1 as I'm writing this. This is doing a massive disservice to Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman has great characters, action, humour, pacing, resounding music scores, enthralling fight scenes. Captain Marvel has little of those, and made worse by Brie Larson's inability to emote. As Carol Danvers, her expression is just one big meh.
