Not bad!

Rating: 6/10 (11 March 2019)

Although it has a female lead, I didn't really notice any blatant forcing of the feminist agenda or bashing of any specific demographic like a lot of reviewers would have you believe. The acting wasn't as bad as people were saying. Bris Larson was fine. The action scenes weren't great as they mostly consisted of her using her photon beams but it was still kind of cool. The reverse aging they did with Nick Fury and Agent Coulson is insane. My biggest gripe is that you really don't get to know Carol Danvers much as a character or who she really is other than through a few flashback scenes that aren't really fleshed out. People were griping that her character is way too OP but it didn't bother me because there are characters in the comics that are super powerful and you're dealing with Thanos so someone like Scarlet Witch or even Captain America is just not gonna get it done. I do However take issues with her being more powerful than Thor and Hulk, that's just not true in the comics. When it comes to source material, don't bite the hand that feeds you. I came away from the movie not nearly as concerned with her involvement in the next Avengers and I don't think she will end up being some sort of one-woman wrecking crew that swoops in and saves the day out of nowhere, ala Dues Ex Machina, for our more established hero's. She's a nice edition to the team and you can't blame the studio for throwing a filler movie in as kind of a pre-End Game teaser right before they wrap up phase four. I give it a 6.5/10.
