Pretty good!

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2019)

I'm fresh out of the theater, and probably need to watch the film again to make my final verdict, but overall, the movie was MUCH better than expected. I had kept on hearing all of the hate for the movie, and I was worried that this film might seem to feministic (and note that I'm a girl too, so that's saying something), but I didn't see many blaring scenes of "too much" of that.
The intro with the Marvel logo and Stan Lee got me crying at the beginning before the movie even started, and I just thought it was such a touching tribute to the grand creator of this universe.
I also will mention my favorite part of the film; Talos. Talos was as good of a villain in the beginning as an ally at the end. He perfectly acted by Ben Mendelsohn, and was hilarious and a lot of scenes, while scary in others, and heartfelt and warming in the rest. He was such a well-rounded character that I left the theater already begging for more scenes with him! I loved the scene in the spaceship with the gang taking off towards the lab and the rest of the characters are bugging him about turning into random things like filing cabinets and Venus fly traps!
There were a few nitpick scenes that I would have wanted fixed, but the main one was the final battle. It was too easy. WAY too easy. When they started out the final battle with Ronan sending missiles to earth, there was a true feeling of danger, but right at the beginning of the attack, she caught one of the missiles (yes, with difficulty) and threw it back. The scene of her throwing the missile was inspiring, but the excitement died when that one missile somehow bumped into and destroyed every last one of the other missiles. This chain effect may have or may not have been realistic (I don't know how missiles work obviously), but it was extremely easy-peasy and anticlamactic. The fight scene with her in the ship with her former Kree companions was way too overpowered, and though there were some really good action sequences and occasionally a tiny struggle, she shrugged off the obstacles and opponents with ease. I love a good struggle. I loved how in Thor Ragnarok, though Thor is really powerful, his enemy is with rivaling power. In Captain Marvel's case, the enemy had disproportionate power and was no match for Carol's girl power! Don't get me wrong- I enjoyed the sequences, yes, but to be honest, I felt a little cheated by how easy it was for her. I wanted a real struggle. Yeah, there was a little bit of a struggle between her and the Supreme Intelligence, but all Carol needed to do was peel of the obedience disk and beat the Intelligence up.
But don't misunderstand me. It was only this final fight scene that bugged me. Practically everything else I enjoyed. Carol's personality might have seemed a little bit prideful or whatever, but people are like that in real life, so who am I to complain?
The visuals were fantastic. The side characters were awesome, and the Skrulls were by far my favorite part of the film.
