The filmmakers (indie directors of the great "Half Nelson") have given absolutely no attention to the music: the score is completely forgettable as are the 90's songs. Aesthetically, "Captain Marvel" has been processed through the same "Marvel filter" as the rest of them.
#CAPTIN MARVEL REVIEW MOVIE#
The movie is fast-paced, but never really works, because the pacing is flat and timing is off. First of all, there is a good story here somewhere, but it's just not well told, and there's too much of it crammed within about 115 minutes. I was left with the general feeling, that "Captain Marvel" is a major disappointment. is regrettably making me wonder if this movie is what we'll look back on and say "Marvel jumped the shark".is regrettably diminishing my interest in the next Avengers movie.

made me revise my opinion of Brie Larson as a good actress.deflated the possibility of having Skrulls as villains for upcoming films.has a weak character arc, the hero doesn't struggle enough to discover her powers and then has totally OP powers and THEN doesn't fully use them against a certain person (who won't be named, Spoilers).has a sidekick character that - given the circumstances - makes an insanely poor decision to "come along".can and should be criticized without political insinuations (i.e, I want female superhero films, just not crappy ones like this).doesn't deserve a 7 on IMDB (especially if Wonder Woman, a far superior film, is only.is possibly the worst MCU film (Ant Man and the Wasp anyone?).shows a ridiculously happy-go-lucky Nick Fury that doesn't mesh with his MCU personality AT ALL.made me groan when Nick Fury's eye injury was revealed.has a horribly miscast lead hero who is also poorly written.tries too hard to be a feminist PSA (*show*, don't preach plz).

Dipping into the Dr Strange-style fantastical with a striking sequence of Marvel fighting her inner turmoil, co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are joined by cinematographer Ben Davis in largely skipping over the enticing fantastical (save for a cute cat) to deliver slick Marvel Comics action set-pieces and Star Wars-inspired space ship races, wrapped in a catchy 90's soundtrack leaving No Doubt on Captain Marvel's powers.

Designed as a origin for Captain Marvel, the writers visibly show more interest in the side characters than they do in lead, with the plight of the Skrulls bringing a heart and urgency to the mission, which drifts away in the mid-section that focuses on Marvel's dry beginnings. The first woman superhero in the Disney Marvel films to have her own solo movie, Brie Larson brings out the heroic in Marvel's passion to save the Skrulls, but fails to fly to a super height in the comedic,and establishment of her own origins,as Larson delivers punch lines with a stilted awkwardness which allows Jackson (who has worked with Larson three times) to outshine her in the jokes, and Larson also keeps a cold distance from giving Marvel the enthusiasm other superheros have when using their powers. Jackson swaggers with a coolness that has not aged one bit, with Jackson hitting Fury's comedic punch-lines with a smooth as silk ease.

View on the film: Whilst facially de-aged with seamless CGI,Samuel (yel)L. Visiting the oldest working cinema in the UK (The Electric) I found a flick with a run time that would give me just enough time to catch the train home,so I get set to see the new captain of the MCU. Travelling to Birmingham to get Easter presents for friends and family,I decided that whilst in the city I would go catch a film.
