Great super heroine movie

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2019)

I don't understand why there's a lot of negative reviews about this movie. Did I watch a different movie from everyone else?
I don't have any previous expectations regarding Marvel movies. I like to go in and without much background and enjoy the story bring told. This is no different, I knew little to nothing about Captain Marvel, either comics or backstory. I went into the theatre to watch a story unfold and introduce Captain Marvel.
I found it enjoyable with a good mix of action and fight scenes alongside nostalgia and light-hearted comedy.
I think Brie Larson did a good job portraying Carol Danvers. I don't agree with people saying she's "wooden"; she's portraying a character who got her memory blocked or brain-washed, who's trying to find herself and is constantly reminded to keep her emotions locked down.... The Kree wanted to make her into an emotionless weapon so that they can control her.
The movie has strong female empowerment tones by highlighting how hard it is for women to enter traditionally male-dominated industries. I completely relate because I am also a female trying to succeed in a male-dominated industry (<10% female). I think it's awesome to see a powerful female super hero. Especially being a hero that's not doing things for some romantic love interest. Cough..ahem..Scarlet Witch...Black Widow...ahem.
Captain Marvel sees that with the powers gifted to her she feels the need to use it to help others. She could've stayed on Earth and just chill out, but she decided to go help those in need and bring justice to the galaxy. By herself. That's a real heroic thing to do.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Captain Marvel will help the Avengers in Endgame.
Plus definitely will be picking up 4k UHD copy when it comes out. Alot of scenes would look even better on an UHD OLED, I found the colors spectrum in theatre projection to be a bit dull.
