I understand the hate, not sure I agree with it

Rating: 5/10 (26 June 2020)

So I've always been a Marvel admirer but never a true fan, nor was I very informed about MCU and only watched several movies in the past. But as I did like what MCU was doing, I decided to watch all the 23 movies and I watched CM after finishing the first two phases (12 movies) in a very short period of time.
After being truly and shockingly amazed by how high is the bar that Marvel sets for themselves I began wondering if there is any movie by Marvel that is not exceptionally good. Well, unfortunately there is. CM didn't meet that bar and I do understand those who've been fans of MCU for years, their hate and disappointment. I read a lot of reviews before writing my own and some of them are really too harsh. (However, the high reviews are CLEARLY bought and fake).
Yes, the main character is a bit overpowered and lacks depth and Brie Larson was definitely a very poor choice. Yes, the movie is forced and way too boring (again, if judging by the MCU standards), but it does give a nice insight on how Fury got the Avengers idea; Jude Law did a great; I loved the plot twist; the cat was a really cool touch. The movie was enjoyable overall. I think it got so much hate because a true MCU connoisseur knows how much Marvel has to offer and they simply did not deliver with CM.
I didn't mind watching it, I didn't feel it was a waste of my time and a total loss. So don't let the bad (truly awful for some) reviews stop you to watch it if you feel like it.
