Very disappointing movie

Rating: 4/10 (10 March 2019)

I won't say things like say "save your money" or "worst MCU movie" but it was pretty rough. First off I went into this movie really excited and I wasn't aware of the controversies until after I started looking up reviews to try and make sense of what I just watched.
When I left the movie theater my wife and I were discussing the movie and the things we both agreed on were:
1) The movie was all over the place and barely followed any continuity or even explained who Carol Danvers is. This movie felt like a bunch of movie shorts loosely strung together. By the time the movie gets to the big hero moment it's really uninspired.
2) Brie Larson's acting was flat and you never get to a point we're you care about the character. I don't think it's because Brie Larson is a bad actor. It felt more like it was a directors vision.
3) The CGI was very hit or miss. The CGI used to make Samuel L. Jackson was AMAZING, but the CGI used to create the scenes were Captain Marvel is flying around look like they were made in 20 years ago. The CGI version of Brie Larson doesn't even look like her in certain scenes.
4) The action sequences were bland and sometimes confusing. This goes back to poor director vision. There were scenes were a lot is clearly happening but it's not exactly clear who's who because of the angles and lighting of the scene.
5) The Skrulls prosthetics look silly. When you first see a Skrull transform it looks pretty cool but then when you see them in their natural form it just feels like your watching someone with a Halloween mask.
Overall, this movie feels like a giant step back for the MCU when this could of easily been a giant step forward.
