Wonder Woman Wins

Rating: 4/10 (17 March 2019)

Big spoilers ahead... you have been warned! I had one of the lowest expectations for this film and it still managed to fail me. Huge plot twist which I hated. I disliked how they used Supreme Intelligence, who is a relatively big part of comics. They used it like the healing tree in Avatar. Brie Larson tried to put her film out there. During the process, she mentioned that people who are "white men" shouldn't be interested in the film and it is not for them. Which explained the big backlash against the audience's scores. I am not biased towards the film. I have actual reasons I disliked the film. One of my favourite things about the movie was the Skrulls and Nick Fury. Most of Nick's CGI was just makeup with a little bit of CGI. He still looks awesome. He had a more humorous role in the film. Nick lost his eye from a cat. I knew this was going to happen, and I would've been fine with. But reflecting upon it... it was so stupid. Many times in the MCU he has menacingly stood there and said: "The last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye". As if there were a huge story behind. He was a fun character still. Turns out you can never trust a cat!
The Skrulls were outstanding. Would not be surprised at all if they get an Oscar for best makeup. The CGI was just as excellent for Skrulls. I wish there were more Skrull action - even the favourite parts about the film had negatives. Brie Larson could have put up a better performance as Captain Marvel. She was emotionless through the whole film. Although, she smirks when she is being aggressive or using her powers. There could've been a limit to her powers - she was overpowered in addition to it could justify parts when she is idiotically using her fists instead of her powers. It was risky entering the Guardians territory. Ronan looked unusual. He was like the comic-con cosplay version of Ronan. He barely had any screen time which was unfortunate. The plot was very omnipresent in my opinion. Some of my friends said they nearly fell as sleep. The soundtrack felt was a mix between the Star Wars and the Avengers. The references at the start were pretty funny. But all the jokes didn't land very well.
The funniest joke and only soft feminist moment was when a guy on a monitor says "They call it a cockpit for a reason". And then she blasts the screen. The visual effects were incredible. But the CGI was not up to standard for the MCU. The Tesseract was interesting. I would have preferred it to not be in the movie though. If you are a humongous fan of Marvel, you will wet yourself after seeing the first post credit scene. The second one is if you want to see if you can. It's not really that important. The beginning showed some respect for Stan Lee in an interesting way. I hated the cat - just why?! I think Captain Marvel was quite a bland character but she also wasn't that interesting in comics either. She was only fun mixed with other original MCU characters like Fury. I'm sure as the MCU moves along with Captain Marvel, she will grow more too the level of Iron Man. If you are in love with alien cat tentacles, this film is for you.
