Avenger Par Excellence

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2019)

I read the negative reviews before seeing the film, both from IMDB members and professional critics, and went to the film with diminished expectations. I should have known better. Marvel has not made a bad movie yet. The film I saw today is clearly not the movie all these critics saw. Captain Marvel is an awesome film, and 'awesome' is not a term I use at my age. The well-written screenplay was a captivating story that exhibited moments of inspirational passion, moments of genuine pathos, and moments that were laugh-out-loud funny. I especially liked the opening tribute to Stan Lee and his cameo appearance in the film. All the actors gave stellar performances and the de-aging process was really cool to see. I would just point out that the overwhelming box office success is perhaps the most effective rebuttal to all the negative reviews.
