Character Development is Captain Marvel's Biggest Flaw

Rating: 6/10 (16 March 2019)

Overall it was a fun adventure but there were just some things that were just inconsistent. The biggest issue with the movie is Carol's character doesn't really grow or change during the course of the movie. She never faces opposition she couldn't easily handle or beat, even before her powers are fully unleashed. There was no sense of threat or loss the entirety of the film. Even the ending scene where she decides she doesn't have to prove anything to Yon-Rogg doesn't hit home because it was never shown that she felt the need to prove anything to him prior. All in all it was a fun adventure and there were some good moments all around. The highlight of the film is the hilarious chemistry between Carol and Fury. Worth seeing before Infinity War, but certainly lacking in the character development department.
