Great foundation and origin for Carol Danvers

Rating: 7/10 (8 March 2019)

With Captain Marvel (2019) we see the introduction of academy award winning Brie Larson into the MCU.
As you'd expect, Brie is fantastic in the title role and really owns the "don't screw with me" look that I've come to know from Carol's character in the comics. Samuel Jackson puts in a different performance for Fury in his younger days which is sure to get some laughs and Ben Mendelsohn is a fantastic multi-layered character trapped in the Kree- Skrull war.
The story isn't fantastic and honestly, it's not expected to be. Origin stories are just that, they're not groundbreaking strides in the film industry. This film is straight up entertainment with heart felt moments which the mcu is so good at. Don't expect Winter Soldier levels of plot threading but do expect to be thoughroughly entertained with this addition to the universe.
