Captain Marvel: Low hanging fruit of the MC Universe.

Rating: 1/10 (28 March 2019)

Prelude: My wife and I are MASSIVE fans of the MCU. We love every film they have put out since the original Iron Man. We gasp, laugh, sometimes cry, and are amazed by all the movies they have put out over the past years. They are my favorite collection of movies of all time.
That being said...I was shocked by this film. I was yawning at points. We never felt any emotion throughout its entirety (until the post credit scene). We weren't rooting for anybody. There is absolutely no connection between Brie Larson and the character she represents. The "humor" fell completely flat. This movie just isn't even close to the standard of quality we have come to expect from the amazing minds behind the MC Universe. I'm not sure what qualities were even present, besides the cinematography and CGI.
DC just came out with Aquaman before this, I thought I KNEW Captain Marvel would at least be as good as that movie (which was fantastic by the way, and surprised me.) But "aqua"...man, was I wrong; I had to watch a couple previous MCU movies just to get the Captain Marvel aftertaste out of my mouth. It just isn't up to par in any way with what we have come to expect. They should have made Jude Law the hero Captain Marvel, as he may have been the only one who showed any substance in this movie. Feminist agenda? I'm not going to comment on that. A movie should be rated on how good it truly is, not whether there are more male or female protagonists/antagonists.
Bottom Line: Want to see a real heroine? Go watch Wonder Woman again, because Captain Marvel can't hold a candle to her in terms of being a superhero. I'd compare her acting range here to an out of tune C note on an old piano being jammed over and over by a child.This movie was a hasty and desperate attempt to get another character into the already crowded MC Universe. I can't remember the last time I felt so let down.
I truly wanted to love it. I hope the writers learn from this, and do not make the same mistakes moving forward. Lets all look forward to Avengers: Endgame, and not let this slight stain ruin our favorite mythical universe.
