A cold, stiff performance by a one dimensional "superhero"

Rating: 2/10 (6 March 2019)

Throughout Brie Larson's performance one is constantly distracted by the fact that she has not completely transformed into her character but is instead there with a purpose beyond the script. As a result, the viewer is never able to completely immerse herself into the story or the world of the story. It's as if she is constantly thinking "I am here to change the real world," and as such she fails to accomplish much in the cinematic world. The Marvel films have value only because they entertain and are a distraction from reality, but like so many other entertainment enterprises such as the NFL, they just don't get that fact and are intentionally doing things that harm the product of entertainment. It's just not enjoyable to sit down for a movie and end up gritting your teeth because you are being lectured rather than entertained. I can call up my mom if I want a lecture.
I give 4 stars for the technical work of the film.
