This isn't a movie...it's a political statement attempting to "pose" as a movie.

Rating: 3/10 (9 January 2020)

This movie is just, all-around, "bad" in everything but FX. It's a ugly cousin of something Kathleen Kennedy might create like the "faux" Ghostbusters in 2016 or The Last Jedi. These attempts at movies were horrendously bad and there's a reason.......it wasn't done for pure entertainment.
The problems i have with this movie are WAY more than i could count in this review. Bad story. Trying to create a female Superman in the Marvel Universe. Actress with a bad attitude. This list goes on.
Yes, i actually "did" watch this movie. However, when you're a "book before movie" person, you see things that just unsettle you. I was a comic book before movie person.
This movie should have been titles "Let's show these men who is better" because that was what the WHOLE movie was about, attitude and ego. The facts, presented by this movie, were SO warped i can't even begin to tell you how "bad" it really was.
NORMALLY, i would talk about the plot of a movie but this movie was so badly off-base that i can't. NOTHING about this movie, outside of recognizable Marvel character names is really accurate.
Captain Marvel wasn't a woman. The Supreme Intelligence wasn't a woman (never was characterized as one either). Nick Fury wasn't black. Monica Rambeau (the little girl) actually was (as an adult) a former title holder of Captain Marvel (in the comics) but they made her into a mini-fan of Larson's character (ick). Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) actually got his power from what are called "Nega Bands" (bracelets of power basically). The "real" Captain Marvel "was" Kree, Larson's character was blood-infused.
And before Marvel's Captain Marvel, DC had Billy Batson become their Captain Marvel. And what pains me MOST about this is: Marvel Comics became the Marvel Cinematic Universe's "whipping" boy and just started changing things to make certain politically motivated groups happy.
I mean, i could go on forever about how bad this movie was made and how badly they trounced the Mar-Vell legacy.
And HEY, don't get me mixed up: I am not a woman-hater, not in any shape, form, or fashion. Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, Carrie Fisher, Brigette Neilson (and many more) have been doing the action movie characters since the 80's and were parts of some of my favorite movies. But these women went in to "act", not to push some political statement down people's throats like Larson did. Gal Gadot (a recent edition), who plays Wonder Woman, did things classy, she came in to "act" and be a character.

Facts about the "real" Captain Marvel. Name: Mar-vell, Gender:Male. The character you are seeing is a depiction of "Ms. Marvel", who just stole the Captain Marvel title later. Brie Larson is a generic, unimpressive actress at her best range. What made this movie "popular" was it's placement in the "Avengers" movie and people "thinking" it might give them some insight into End Game, which it didn't.
The only thing that kept Brie Larson on the radar was her controversy. Now, when i ask about her and this movie, people are like "who?". Brie didn't really "earn" this spot, she was someone else's tool and she gladly took the role. Basically, no one (that i knew) even knew she existed until this role.
