A Marvel Movie Lacking the Marvel Charm

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2019)

The complaints about lackluster action scenes with shaky camera shots, Bri Larson's awkward acting, and a dull "I lost my memory. Who am I? Who are my friends and enemies?" predictable story, are all justified.
Captain Marvel's smarm is more uncalled for, misplaced, or poorly delivered. As well, her characterization was minimal and you don't feel very invested in her story or motivations.
Samuel L. Jackson and pretty much every other actor gave a good performance, especially Carol's friend (I feel bad for not knowing her name, but they only said it maybe once or twice) because she showed a lot of emotion.
Overall, it was average and predictable. It had the quality of a Marvel movie, but lacked the Marvel charm. I'd give it a 6.5/10. Not bad, but not very good either.
