REVIEW - CAPTAIN MARVEL
EXCLUSIVE!
I am actually fearful writing this review, why?
In the lead up to this films release Brie Larson released a number of press statements basically saying that men wouldn't like this film because the lead is being played by a woman and if a man didn't like the film then he is being sexist.
Now I can't say if this was negative promotion to get more bums on seats or if it was actually her belief, either way I came to this latest Marvel film with an open mind.
Ok now for the actual review. Recently Star Wars released a film called The Last Jedi which brought back Luke Skywalker, the hype was massive but the film didn't add anything to the whole story arch and become a forgetful movie, I'm afraid to say Captain Marvel (or should it be Mar Vel) is very similar only acting as a reason to answer why Nick Fury wears the eye patch, where the Tesseract comes from and sets up the character of Captain Marvel for the last Avengers movie.
Honestly with the sheer amount of super heroes films out personally I'm now getting quite bored of them all, the only one looking any good (yet to be released) being Brightburn which flips the entire genre on its head.
The story in this film wasn't reverting which Aquaman excelled at, there was a lot of down time between action sequences, the continuous flashbacks served no purpose except to show that women are equally as strong and capable as men which didn't need to be there because the film already has a female lead.
Now don't get me wrong some of the best films ever made have strong female leads, Terminator, Alien, Star Wars, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Colour Purple ETC. but I'm afraid this film just is a tool to set other things up and is quite forgettable.
And what was the idea of Goose the cat! Come on Marvel Studios, this just tipped the balance the wrong way for me and hinted at very lazy writing (no spoilers)
