A major disappointment following Infinite War

Rating: 1/10 (6 March 2019)

As a die-hard Marvel fan, I really wanted to like Captain Marvel. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver in every department. Brie Larson's stiff, bland acting left me unable to care about or relate to anything her character was doing throughout the muddled, poorly paced story. Samuel L. Jackson was the only redeeming aspect of the film for me, although his character was nothing spectacular compared to his roles in other films.
Overall, this film felt completely unnecessary. I was expecting at least some level of cinematic quality due to the insane amount of promotion this film received. Instead. we now have Captain Marvel shoe-horned into the MCU timeline, which has left me worried about the next Avengers film.
I would definitely not recommend this film, even to Marvel fans. If you want a strong, female-led superhero film, Wonder Woman already exists.
