GOOD but not GREAT because.....

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2019)

Short Summary NO SPOILER
BUT FIRST....
We are all spoiled with great marvel movies these last couple of years that the expectations for every new movie is so high that the disappointment if a movie is not as good as "Infinity War" or "Ragnarok" is even higher.
Let's think about Capatin America the First Avenger for a second. It was an ok/good movie BUT the sequel "Winter Soldier" changed the game (one of MCU finest) with the right writers & directors with a clear vision for the characters. ;-)
NOW TO CPATAIN MARVEL .....
GOOD:
Brie Larsons performance was dope (with what she was given with the script) especially the second half of the movie. (SO DON'T LET THE TROLLS FOOL YOU, she IS Captain Marvel). Sam Jackson as young Nick Fury and the chemistry between him & Captain Marvel is great. Ben Mendelsohn as Talos pure gold. Goose the Cat + some Plot twists / suprises & the 90s setting was nice. The visual effects (de-aging technology) & captain marvels full binary power was off the chain.
BAD:
The biggest issue is the script & direction by directors Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck. Both never worked on a big budget movie like this and that you can tell. The plot structure & the pacing is all over the place and the characters/dialog weren't really well written to their full potential. They really didn't have a vision for the characters & story. The movie is trying to fit in an origin story, the set up for Avengers Endgame and set up for the cosmic future of the MCU. It's just too much. Starforce & Ronan the Accuser was a complete waste btw.

OVERALL:
Good Movie, Great Performances, Great Cast, Great Effects but suffering from a weak script & direction.
Marvel picked the wrong writers, director(s) for this movie. They should've gone with someone more experienced.
PS...
Can't wait to see the sequel getting that "Winter Soldier" treatment ;-)
AND... how bad a** she's gonna be in Avengers Endgame with the Russo Brothers in the director's chair
Go see it in theaters
7/10
