Solid Addition to the MCU Canon

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2019)

Definitely worth seeing in theaters. This is actually one of the rare examples of a prequel that "gets it right", and explains things that happens in later films while managing to tell its own story. It also explains why the highly publicized (and until now highly off-limits due to licensing) Skrulls are absent throughout the rest of the MCU's history. It also manages to provide some color around Ronan's obsession with power, even though he only has a few brief scenes.
All in all Captain Marvel is a solid film on it's own, while still connecting itself to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Certainly worth the price of admission.
