Lost in tone, direction and execution.

Rating: 3/10 (9 March 2019)

This movie unfortunately falls flat coming after Infinity War and leading to Endgame. While the supporting cast had great performances (Samuel Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, and Lashana Lynch), Brie Larson's performance was lackluster. Her character lacked personality and there was hardly any growth to harness and master her abilities(example: attains ability to fly out of nowhere). The final arc was a major disappointment as there was no tension or struggle between Captain Marvel and the main villain due to her suddenly becoming overpowered. The movie lacked tone and direction which led to bland line deliveries from Captain Marvel even when she slowly starts to regain her memories. The choice of music for two battle scenes(you'll know which ones) was also very questionable and felt out of place in regards to the significance and importance of the battle. The movie depended a little too much on 90s nostalgia for its humor. This movie's story does not match with the MCU and opens up plot holes that messes up the MCU timeline. This movie was placed in the wrong phase. It felt like a Phase One movie (compare it to Thor or Captain America: The First Avenger) not a Phase Three movie. I would not recommend watching this film more than once if you follow the MCU. If you don't follow the MCU, save yourself the money and wait for Endgame instead.
