Watched it fresh had avoided all pre-release comments and reviews~ non-plused with movie

Rating: 5/10 (9 March 2019)

First stand out of the film is the cat, no spoilers but the cats the high light of the movie.
The film left me completely 'well I watched it'... The effects ,sets, costumes and every other technical and setting type thing was up-to the best marvel has to offer
in any of their films.
The story though was simplistic, for me the twist was something I didn't know having not read the comics so while unexpected and welcome it wasn't enough in itself to be a wow moment...
The character of Captain Marvel is flat...the film takes up about 3/4 of the movie on resolving her back story but to what end. Its honestly not worth the ride to find out that's why shes stoic because shes always been stoic?
How she got her power is haphazardly explained in the story and confusing as to what was given to her and what was an accident and why that accident gave her powers to begin with?
Her relationships in the film are explained in a disjointed disorienting fashion all except the one with her air-force buddy that takes most of the time on yet your left with 'so what' feeling like well OK they were close and shared the same goals and tribulations facing sexism in the air force together but that all could have been covered in five minutes not the length of time it took for zero payoff in understanding the characters...
You could forgive the simple story line if the characters were developed in an interesting way... but they aren't
The acting in the film is hard to judge because of this... I feel it would be unfair to judge Brie on this or any of the other actors as it feels to me it was down to scripting and direction rather than portrayal by the actors themselves
In short a film you will watch because its part of the series and fills in the back story of a character you'll meet in endgame...But if not for that reason, a film you could easily forgo watching and not miss anything
