Better than expected

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2019)

I would just like to start this review off with a few things
1. I am not a fan of Brie Larson and the way she has acted in the past and during the lead up to this film's release
2. Please do not take every review you see as gospel, Disney are bribing critics for 100% positive reviews and that is something that should not be accepted. Heck, do not take my review as fact either.
3. I highly encourage people to see the movie for themselves before forming opinions and suggest leaving negativity about Brie Larson aside for at least 2 hours for this movie.
4. There are a lot of news outlets reporting on "trolls" leaving bad reviews on this film, and while yes trolls do leave bad reviews (they do on anything), there is a lot more to the whole situation that news outlets conviently leave out for the clicks and for the ad revenue.
Right now with that out of the way, I would like to start of by praising this film for several ressons
1. It went beyond my expectations
2. It was a nice way to tie up some loose ends in the MCU
3. It introduces us to more races in the MCU such as the Skrulls and Flurken (I am probably spelling that wrong)
4. It was great to see some more character development for Nick Fury
5. Talos was a very well done character and definitely the stand out character of the film
6. It was nice to see the Kree again after so long.
Now on to the bad:
1. Captain Marvel is portrayed as boring character, she seems bored most of the time, she has her moments but most of the time she is elevated by a much more enjoyable supporting cast.
2. The Kree are one dimensional, their motives boil down to, we want to conquer, you don't like it, tough. Once again they have their occasional moments but most of the time they feel like a generic army with no redeeming qualities writing wise.
To conclude, this movie isn't bad, but it isn't outstanding. Yes it was better than expected but that's mostly because I had my expectations set incredibly low (I did the same with Infinity War). I recommend giving this movie a shot, but it is not a must see.
Thank you for reading my review.
