Captain meaningless

Rating: 2/10 (10 March 2019)

Let me begin. The disappointment of this movie begins with Jude Law manipulating her to control her emotions in order to prevent her from seeking the truth about her visions. I believe it was several times where the point was made to suppress her emotions. Apart from one tear and one watery eyed moment, (I'll get to the part where she breaks out of her restraints at the end) I saw ZERO emotion come from this grown woman.
Next, in the process of escaping the skrulls' ship she creates an immense hole that started a vacuum effect. She miraculously pulls herself back into the ship and walks effortlessly out the area and around the corner even though ever other being and object in that room went flying out. Ok, ok, so you'll argue, she IS Captain Marvel, and to that I say, remember her escape pod also got damaged? No, Captain Marvel protection power there, the girl was holding on for dear life.
By the way, the movie is saturated with scenes of her as a young girl being taunted and yelled at by every male throughout her life. Seriously, she has no other memorable moment in life, other than the less than genuine friendship she has with her fellow pilot and her mentor. Can I just add that Mar-Vel was originally a man who she fell in love with and tried to rescue her after she was kidnapped. A good male relationship in her life??? Nah, let's just make everyone she loves female down to her 'friend's' child. (Dear Disney, some of us love our husbands, dads, and brothers). Oh and by the way, would you leave your family and adopt another one just because your dad yelled at you for doing something stupid like crashing a go-cart that would have resulted in a major permanent injury?!?!? I'm of Spanish descent, yelling would be the least of my worries. Ha!
Let me go back to the friend she had. I have a better relationship with the cashiers at my grocery store. It looked like an amateur and less than talented drama club played those scenes out. "Act like the two of you are friends." ACTION! :-/.
One thing the friend revealed was ONE big CHARACTER FLAW of Captain Marvel. Her friend revealed that she cheated on a race, to that she responded, 'What's wrong with taking a shortcut?' Her friend responded by saying the shortcut was against the rules, and our hero just smirks. That makes sense, in the beginning when Jude Law was doing hand to hand combat with her and she started feeling like she was losing, she immediately cheated by using her powers. Anything to get ahead huh, forget the rules as long as you come out on top? I wouldn't teach my dog to be like you. (by the way in reality she was a NASA genius and worked for the CIA...not this garbage)
The movie is just repetitious to say the least, but now that I mentioned pets, I believe the cat was sent to save the movie, it took up several humorous scenes that I'm sure would have been otherwise taken up by another flashback of a crying little girl. The relationship between Samuel L Jackson and the cat saved the two hours of torture from Larson's dry and unimpressionable personality.
The ending topped this off with a putrid stench that I pray to soon forget. Why?! All I could ask myself is 'why would a hero destroy missiles and further more, destroy one ship of the beings who caused so much death and destruction to just let them go in the end?' She went through that ship like a knife through butter and Lee Pace looks at her, makes a declaration to capture her, and then leaves with no objection from her! She floats there so they could bask in all her glory then let's them get away?? To what end? You think they will have turned over a new leaf? Of course no! She tells Jude Law to send them a message that shes coming after them....uh wow, they were right in front of you why did you need a messenger?? Jude was on a wrecked ship, and yet she rushed back to finish him off and let the greater evil escape.
Finally, skrulls being compared to immigrants... subtle :-/ (in reality the skrulls aren't exactly good). I come to the movies for a break from all this. You want to get into politics, run for office otherwise it's just propaganda.
Final note, I'm so ready for someone to make fun of the scenes where she's standing up throughout her life before she breaks through the restraints. Here are some ideas, standing up out of a chair, standing up after tying your shoe, standing up after picking up a pencil, stand up after slipping on a banana peel, etc.
