Empowering

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2019)

Carol Danvers gives young girls and women a strong, independent female hero to look up to. The film elaborates on friendship and being your own hero. What I love about this movie is the fact that there was no love interest, but Carol was still her own hero. The soundtrack was also amazing. The fight scenes were awesome and the songs played during them added an effect that completed the intensity feel of that scene. I did feel, however, that the plot was a bit rushed, but was, overall, a good plot and story. The costume design was also phenomenal and stuck to the style of the 90's. The suits of the alien races were intricate and just beautiful to look at. Carol's character is witty and humorous which provides amusement to the audience. This movie had just the right amount of comedy whereas Thor: Ragnarok was pushing the limits (even though it was a great movie). The story ties into the Marvel Universe nicely and provides history to the MCU. All in all, Captain Marvel was a groundbreaking, revolutionary movie that broke boundaries with a powerful, original female lead hero who takes a stand as an idol for women (and everyone in general) around the world.
