I really like Captain Marvel

Rating: 8/10 (21 March 2019)

I've been a Marvel comics reader and fan for 45 years and this is up there as one of my favorite Marvel movies, with the first three Spiderman and Guardians of the Galaxy. Brie Larson was good as the main character, I saw a couple reviews unfavorably comparing her performance to Gail Gadot as Wonder Woman but I think Larson was fine and her character was definitely better. The female characters and their interrelationships were well presented, substantial and believable. It suffered from the shallow, implausible dialog that is fine in comics but I think has always cursed almost every Marvel movie, and ruined the Avengers for me. These characters were not as shallow as the Avengers. It was fun, it rolls along and there wasn't much that knocked my attention out of the enjoyment of the film. Younger Nick Fury was great and of course, who wouldn't love that cat?
