The comic book movie I've been waiting for most of my life

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2019)

Captain Marvel is utterly awesome. I will admit that the beginning is a little slow but wow, when it gets going you'll totally forgive the start and be swept away by a movie we've needed for a long long time. Introducting a character who is new to most in just 2 hrs is tough but they manage it so well. I've been reading Captain Marvel (Rambeau and Danvers, alone, in the Avengers, A-Force, Ultimates etc) since the Amazing Spider-Man annual 1982, and I was worried before I went in that changing the origin stories would hurt too much, it doesn't, they've kept enough of what I love and the new melds brilliantly with the old. I'm not ashamed to say that I had to pinch myself during one amazing fight scene that I was finally seeing a female superhero who just got on with the job, and some happy tears were shed. Danvers, the Rambeaus, Fury, Coulson, Talos and especially Goose are all amazing and I cannot wait to go and see this movie again and again. Thank you thank you Marvel!
