Don't be biased. Judge independently.

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2019)

I refuse to be that guy, like thousand others on this site by being biased, writing reviews that condemn this film and Brie Larson just because of her remarks regarding white men. How fragile must your integrity be if you're offended by something an actress legimately said? Were men really that hurt by some comment? Even if it is true, one certainly should not alter negatively the way of judging a film. Captain Marvel deals wih a woman becoming a superhero, perhaps the strongest, so obviously it is going to portray a powerful female, like many other classics there have always been powerful women, although not nearly enough, so hopefully cinema will take this matter into an even more favourable direction in the near future.
Having said that, I honestly believe we were mislead into thinking this was critical to watch before Endgame, and perhaps is not quite like that.
Sure, it introduces a hero that took part in major events in Endgame, but since Captain Marvel is a new character to the eyes of the Avengers, she is also going to be introduced in that world, less personally of course. The point is that you can actually do without this film and still understand Captain Marvel's role in the aforementioned film. That feels like a huge setback in the very existence of this film, as it doesn't feel crucial within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, just like Black Panther, and it shouldn't be that way. Every hero should have a decent film portraying their grandness and doing justice to their printed counterparts.
Captain Marvel lacks in depth; the dialogue denotes an unbearably bland, poorly written script. As a result, neither Larson nor Jackson are able to barely pass for average performances and that is why this film will be lost in oblivion. The Skrull design is actually really good, being one of the few remarkable things about this film, the other being Goose, the Flerken, a really powerful creature that looks identically like cats on Earth.
Should you watch this movie? Yeah, why not? Form your own opinion on it, and if you are like me, you wouldn't like to leave loose ends on such an overarching large-scale story like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Is it absolutely necessary to understand what comes next? Not really.
