not a bad movie, but not a great movie.

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2019)

I love Carol in the comics, the movie did not do justice, or rather Brie did not. The No.1 sin this movie did for me was as bad as what they did to the Mandarin in Iron Man 3.....for comparison, would you turn The Joker or Lex Luther into someone just acting a bad guy and not actually be a threat at all? What they did to Mar-vell in this movie was horrible. I have no problem with women empowerment and women being bad ass and taking center stage, but to be so feminist that you take Carol Danvers first Fall into love and turn Mar-vell into a scientist and old woman....Mar-vell was supposed to be the 1st Captain Marvel whos fought Thanos in the past. He is supposed to be Carol Danvers influence and person she loves. So they make Jude Laws character a Bad guy instead of Mar-vell. Crappy way to have a plot twist. You dont do a great story justice by taking important parts of it and twisting it to fulfill your own fantasy or agenda.
Even without that,Brie is not fun or charming most of the movie. Jokes feel forced from bad timing or just bad acting. Jackson and Mendelsohn are amazing and charming and brie looks stiff and feels awkward acting next to these two. Its like she tried too hard to be tough or bad ass instead of just being a fun and bad ass girl. There was no sexiness coming from her, and by sexiness i mean FUN and cute and owning it and having Fun with it. Girls can be sexy and respectable at the same time, thats what made Wonder Woman so great, or even a CG character like Alita. Black Widow is always a great character to watch and i hope this movie does not damage her own movie to come out. Ridley as Rey in star wars is more charming than Brie without being sexy too.
Larson never felt vulnerable , i could also blame the script.
Iv read some people say Marvel felt too overpowered in the movies end, but she actually seemed to be right on target, But to say shes the strongest Good guy in the Marvel universe is still a way bit off though.Hyperion or Sentry would wipe the floor with Captain Marvel quite easily.
I wanted to like this movie, im a Carol Danvers fan,but they did not deliver, It just felt forced. Maybe trying to shue horn her into being the ironman replacement instead of letting us just enjoy her character.
Besides The Wasp should actually be the next leader of the Avengers if you want a girl leader. It would even be Canon and further woman's roles even more in the MCU as under wasps leadership other women joined the Avengers ranks like She-Hulk and Monica. All Davers did was join the wrong side of the civil war and kill Iron Man. Once Mutants enter the MCU Brie Larson will make a great Bad Guy as the head of Pro-Registration.
