Uninspiring

Rating: 3/10 (22 March 2019)

My honest advice is to wait until it comes out on streaming video. Uninspiring. That's the best way to describe it. Plot, script, character interplay, everything. Plodding and forced. Larson is stiff, 1 dimensional, and brings a complete lack of warmth or humor to the character. How much of her terrible lack of emotion is bad acting, and how much is poor direction and writing is open to discussion I suppose. My niece, a Marvel fan as well, was unimpressed and noted several times that parts were simply stupid.
It's sad, fans have invested 12 years and many dollars in the story arc. It would be a shame to see Disney/Marvel blow it on a character nobody wanted or is likely to care about. Marvel says this is to be the new face of the MCU, if that's the case, count me out. Trying to create strong female characters is laudable, but this Mary Sue dumpster fire isn't the way to do it. Take your cues from DC's Wonder Woman, that was just plain fantastic.
