Enjoyable Marvel romp

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2019)

Nothing outstanding but worth it for the early days of Nick and Phil. The outstanding character was not Capt Marvel but Talos played by Ben Mendelssohn. I have seen him before but he hasnt stood out in his roles but in this he was the undoubted star of the film for me. Altogether engaging enjoyable romp that once you get past the attempts to tie it in with the MU stands up well as a solo escapade. I liked it but it seems to have upset a lot of the ott Marvel Brigade because it didnt rely solely on overhyped dysfunctional heroes fighting myriads of cgi enemies. (Not that I dont enjoy those too! but sometimes less is as good as more so stop with the crying)
