Major Letdown Prior to Endgame

Rating: 3/10 (11 March 2019)

Listen, Captain Marvel isn't the worst movie to ever be made. It has many redeeming qualities that make the first-watch semi-enjoyable. If this had beena stand-alone movie with zero ties to the MCU, I think it would have been OK.
Many people are blaming Brie Larson for the quality of this movie, but I actually enjoyed her performance. The reason the movie sucks is the writing. Characters are majorly underdeveloped while some are overdeveloped, the story itself just spends the 2 hour duration screaming for attention within the MCU, and the power-level of Captain Marvel is just ridiculous. We've seen characters within the MCU who are "Gods" or hold Infinity Stones are were still nowhere near as powerful as her.
It's not really surprising that this movie has to let you know at every turn that it takes place within the MCU. Honestly, the whole way through it I barely felt like I was watching a Marvel movie (apart from the fact that Captain Marvel feels the need to shove that fact down your throat constantly, as I've already mentioned).
