Not that Marvellous

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2019)

Even after the Rotten Tomatoes disaster and the marketing being too aggressive, I walked in the theater willing to give it a chance. I was thoroughly disappointed.
The pros:

The Skrulls were done beautifully, and I really liked their shapeshifting effects.
Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law and Samuel L. Jackson all gave brilliant performances
Hala had some nice visuals, and I hope to see more of it in the future

The cons:
-The way they wrote Carol Danvers is absolutely horrendous. She literally has zero flaws. She is said to be funny and smart, but you never see her be funny or smart. She just blasts stuff out of her way, and occasionally makes some snarky quips.
-Carol has zero character growth. Her personality goes from serious to quippy in a heartbeat. You never see the thing that kicks off that change. She used to quip a bit before that change happens, but they just ramp it up without explaining why. And the only different thing about her at the end of the movie was that she was glowing now.

Brie Larson's performance was definetly one of the worst ones in this movie. Her facial expression doesn't change even when she learns about her past, while Sebastian Stan delivers that inner conflict perfectly in TWS.
There are literally no stakes in this movie. Carol Danvers is written as this all-powerful character with zero character flaws, so you know that she isn't going to lose any battle that she's in. I was never concerned about how she will be able to beat the threat when I know that she is a person with zero flaws and absurd power levels.
The jokes. This might be more of a personal complaint, but I only laughed once in the entirety of this two hour movie.
They never explain why Carol is the strongest hero in the Marvel universe, and you never see it happen. The only change to her was that she was glowing when she unlocked her true power, and still fired the same blasts and did the same things.
Nick Fury's eye was clawed off by a cat. I don't care if it was supposed to be an alien cat, they turned what was supposed to be a character defining moment("The last time I trusted someone I lost an eye") into a cheap joke.

It had its moments here or there, but the biggest problems of this movie were the writing of the main plot and the character of Carol Danvers.
