It's... average.

First of all I'm not getting the hate that this movie generates. We've had feminist heroes before, Wonder Woman for example. And we've had movies with an agenda. But never before has one been so seemingly polarizing as this. I'm thinking it has more to do with what was going on outside the movie than the movie itself.
The movie is pretty basic when you get down to it. Carol Danvers is a Air Force pilot who one day loses her memory of who she was, gains super powers and fights against some baddies. She's not really a household name so she really needs an origin story before showing up in the final Avengers movie to fight Thanos.
And honestly this isn't a bad movie. It's not a great movie but it's not bad. It's got some decent fight scenes, a lot of dry humor that might go over people's heads and some really amazing special effects. The de-aging they did on Samuel L Jackson to make him look like his younger self is nothing short of mind blowing. It's so seamless that after a while you forget that Sam Jackson is in his 70's. I remember them doing this for Tron:Legacy and it was good but had those occasional flashes into the Uncanny Valley that just took you out of it for a moment. But this? It looked natural.
It's a solid effort that could have used a little more work and this could also simply be that the whole superhero genre is starting to die down. We may have reached peak superhero fandom here and it's all downhill from now on. Time will tell.
But as I said, it's not a bad movie. If you've been holding off on seeing it I suggest you do. Just don't get your hopes up too high.
