Marvelous Piece of Garbage

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2019)

Wow - talk about a blunder. Marvel movies (except Avengers Infinity Wars) have progressively been getting worse and worse, but Captain Marvel is one of the worse superhero movies of all time. Yes - one of the worse. Worse than Green Lantern, worse than Electra, worse that Batman vs Superman, and even worse than Daredevil.
So what is so bad about it?
Let's start with acting: Brie Larson is a highly touted actress since her role in Room. Now playing a superhero does not take a lot of effort - but you have to make an effort to be likeable. Brie is so wooden and dull that she actually is a hinderance to the film. If you want a comparison: she makes George Clooney look great as Batman - or Jennifer Garner look like an Oscar winner as Electra - yes folks she is that god awful.
The best performance in the entire film is - the cat. That is sad.
Annette Benning is also wooden, dry and unlikeable as Captain Mar-vel.
The flow of the movie is awful. You keep wondering how a movie with so much action is so boring. It flows poorly and it is not well directed.
The script is terrible. Some of the scenes are just plain stupid - for one (spoiler) the cat is an alien that shoots out tentacles - rip off of The Thing, Tremors, Stranger Things - but what is so dumb is that this 12 pound cat tosses out (which is physically impossible) about five tentacles that are human size from its maw - the cat would have had to grow to the size of an elephant to do that and after it does that and it devours multiple humanoids you see it still in Fury's arms as a small cat.
The film makers took an obsolete Marvel character that most people did not know and butchered it - destroyed the heart of who Captain Marvel (Miss Marvel) to those who have read the books. The film makers knew nothing of the Marvel universe and it showed:
1- Miss Marvel came over 20 years after the Avengers - but in this movie her call sign (as a pilot) was Avenger and Fury takes that as inspiration - that is a big eye roller.
2- Fury does NOT lose his eye from a cat scratch. That was beyond stupid and the fact that the cat was still in his possession after it tears his eye out makes no sense. The entire eye clawing scene made no sense.
3- Captain Mar-vel was a great warrior who fought against the Skrulls. Grab The Death of Captain Mar-vel by Jim Starlin - great book - the only time a superhero dies from cancer. Yes, from cancer- not from being shot by a traitor.
4- The Skrull are the Marvel version of terrorists and evil. In this movie we make them heroes. That just destroys the entire Marvel universe in one shot. But in this politically correct culture you can see someone's agenda being pushed - like making today's terrorists the heroes.
The movie was downright poorly made with a bad director, a ridiculous script and the worse actress to play Carol Danvers.
