They just chose the wrong actress for the job

Rating: 1/10 (6 March 2019)

The movie was awful, for but one reason and one reason only: The actress choice for the leading character. When you make a movie about a comic character and you choose the wrong person to act as that character, you cannot succeed. It feels like someone just insisted on Brie Larson for the job no matter what.
This has nothing to do with the Hero being female, as I noticed some claimed this kind of criticism to be. Just take a look at Gal Gadot and WW, a Character that in my opinion is one of the best Comic super heroes of all time. THAT was how a Captain Marvel should have looked and behaved like.
Even if one could argue that looks are a matter of taste (and I definitely think Larson looks nothing like what CM is supposed to look like), I think her acting was just out of place, mediocre at best, and just plain wooden and boring. I couldn't feel anything for her.
The fact that Marvel chose to establish CM's character as a super-important one in the Marvel Cosmos as one can deduce, inter-alia, from the after-credits scene, just intensifies the mistake of choosing Larson for the job, and iterates the sinking feeling that this film is a huge mistake.
One can only hope that they wont trash End Game with her as well. Suffering this one heartbreak was enough thank you.
