Don't Believe the Hate

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2019)

I don't get the hate for this. For reals. I mean, it's not fantastic, but it's not even close to horrible.
Brie Larson is actually a surprise. Everyone (including me) thought she was gonna be a rock the whole movie. Not at all. I enjoyed her performance a lot. She was able to be funny without forcing it but also believeable as a fighter and leader.
As for the story, it goes a kinda like this. The first act is a great set up without throwing so much information at you, the second act is a fun buddy cop movie with a young, almost naive Nick Fury, and the third act is a little climactic. It was a little, eh. But enjoyable for the most part.
I think the big point of Captain Marvel was to set up Endgame. Well check that box. I left the theater satisfied enough to keep me from going insane until Endgame.
All in all, go see it. And just enjoy the movie!
