A solid generic Marvel movie

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2019)

Brie was instantly likeable as Captain Marvel and I think it was much of her subtle looks and smiles that really sold her character. As a fan of the comics, I can't see anyone else being able to do a better job in the role. The effects were fantastic, including all of the de-aging! The rest of the cast were all top notch as well. The only reason I didn't give it a higher score is because it didn't do anything new and played it safe. I understand that just about any Marvel origin movie will probably be like this and that it's hard to bring something new to a run of movies that now has over 20 titles in its collection. As a fan of the source material, I loved some of the fan beats it hit and was pleasantly surprised by some of the twists and changes from the comics.
