Ignore the negative reviews. This film is fun!

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2019)

I went to see Captain Marvel last night and actually loved it! If I had read the stream of negative reviews on IMDB prior to going to the cinema, I probably wouldn't have gone and that would have been a shame.
I would give it a strong 8/10 in reality, but 10/10 to balance out at least one negative score here.
I am also a huge Marvel fan (have been for 40+ years) and have watched all of the MCU up to this date. This film had all of the elements that I enjoy. A good story, lashings of humour, some good action scenes and great CGI.
I imagine that the reviews that claim that this film is 'boring' stem from the younger part of the audience who have been spoon-fed on adrenaline for the past 10 years or so. For me there was more than enough action!
There may have been a slight miscast in Jude Law layers, but otherwise I feel that totally got my money's worth. I also really like Brie Larsson. Imagine having a 'happy' super hero....that probably disappointed those who were looking for a tortured soul. Hopefully, some more mature reviews will come in over the weekend.
