An enjoyable film to watch

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2019)

First of all, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel is good. In a few scenes, it looked like she was giving it her all in that performance while in others it seemed as if she was only phoning it in. That can be said about a few of the others. Especially Jude Law, who plays Yon-Rog, who I've seen in other roles and is captivating in it. But this role just didn't seem to fit him that well. Really the only person I can say did a good job was Ben Mendelsohn, who plays Talos. Every scene that he's in he gives it his all and you can easily tell he is comfortable in this role. This has nothing to do with the movie but I just loved Goose the cat. But speaking of Goose when they used a real cat actor it was great but when they switched it out and made him CGI it looked terrible. I feel like they blew their entire budget on different scenes and had to just find a clichéd cat on the internet. I only say this because all of the scenery in every scene is amazing. The cinematography is outstanding in this film. The pacing in this film was weird and just off. The film is two hours and four minutes but it feels like two hours and forty minutes. One thing that bugged me but also I was happy about was all the answers we got for other Marvel movies. This film has plot twists but they are so obvious that even a kid could figure them out before they are revealed. Due to this film taking place in 1995 I feel bad for all the kids who won't understand the references the movie is making. But the cultured ones like me will get them. Finally, there are two end credits scenes but really just stay for the first one. In the end, Captain Marvel isn't the worst Marvel movie but it also isn't the best. I definitely recommend watching in 3D.
