Aggressively Mediocre

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2019)

This is by far the most mediocre of all Marvel films, and I LIKED Thor: The Dark World. Brie Larson is dull and never really developed into an actual human being. I attribute this to three factors, the tired and played out amnesia trope, the dull and unimaginative writing, and finally the actress herself who really seems to lack much range or ability. I cannot for the life of me imagine how she finagled an Academy Award. I never became invested in her character, she never made me care about the movie.
I was thoroughly unimpressed with the CGI in this movie, coming off of Alita: Battle Angel last weekend, which was a masterpiece of CGI, the effects in Captain Marvel were strictly amateur hour. It's obvious that Marvel studios was unwilling to commit the budget necessary to really make this film look good. The fight scenes were foggy and hard to follow, every moment of action just screamed "low budget" compared to the rest of Marvel's lineup.
They were obviously hoping that the cat and Samuel L. Jackson, would provide the acting chops necessary to carry the film but I was not convinced by his role this time. They camped it up really badly and instead of a stoic, capable, and serious commander, we got a cat crazy jokester. Coupled with the terrible job of De-aging him with CGI I just could not enjoy his performance.
Overall I'd have to say that Captain Marvel's position as the worst Marvel movie of all time is quite safe.
