Just another great MCU movie

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2019)

As a male fan, I didn't go in expecting anything but a good MCU movie and that's what this was. Like Black Panther, this movie gathered a large following of hate against the social justice it was promoting... except... I didn't notice any promotion of that!
Carol Danvers was a person who went through traumatic experiences and came out on top at the end. The fact that she was female was just part of who she is and it was not forced in any way. I feel that this is the best way to promote equality. By making sure that everyone can relate and enjoy.
I noticed that other reviews said that we weren't shown any of Carol's weaknesses but I disagree, she spent most of the movie unaware of her powers because she has been brainwashed. This shows that even with massive power, she was taken advantage of and I'm certain she could meet her match in other ways as well. It doesn't just have to be a physical fight.
Pros:
Before the movie came out, there were already complaints. I think the biggest pro was that it proved these complaints wrong.

Brie Larson did a great job in her role. And yes, she smiled.
Nothing about the movie made me feel like it was meant for women. It could very easily appeal to anyone
Nothing made me feel like the character was just shoe-horned into the universe and they gave a feasible reason for her absence in the MCU.
They just added hype for the future of the MCU.

Cons:

I do wish that Goose had less CGI and more live scenes.
Although I enjoyed the soundtrack, I expected something like Guardians of the Galaxy's unforgettable use of their music and I didn't feel that much here.
