    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Captain Marvel' is lauded for its action, effects, and Brie Larson's performance, though some find her character underdeveloped. Feminist themes spark debate, with mixed opinions on their execution. Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury is a highlight, but pacing, plot inconsistencies, and 90s nostalgia are criticized. The protagonist's lack of flaws and generic elements are noted. Despite mixed reception, it's deemed crucial for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    A fun solo film - Stop complaining because female

    I really enjoyed the film. For me, it was one of the stronger single hero stories. I'm one of those people who just enjoys things, so upon first viewing the legitimate issues some might have didn't effect my enjoyment. I liked how the movie unfolded throughout its run time, and its message was really good to see. Also Samuel L Jackson's love for the cat was amazing to see. I'm already crying about endgame.

    Don't trust the bad reviews, go see it Yourself.

    I went to see the movie with really low expectation because all the bad reviews i've read, and i still liked it. Seems like i watch a different movie. Captain Marvel is less emotional but i think it's intentional. This movie may not be on the same level of quality with Infinity War, Civil War, and Ragnarok, but it still quite a good movie, 7-8 is where its belong. Definitely Entertaining.

    Loved it...

    I dont know what the others are saying but personally i simply loved the movie...Even though the movie felt quiet at the beginning,it gathered momentum later on especially towards the end...Had a descent story line...If you are a marvel fan,dont mind these reviews..you will have your money's worth just from the post credit scenes...We are in the endgame now....

    One of the best Marvel movies!

    Expectations weren't high, but after watching the movie i feel with Captain Marvel, Marvel studios has finally course corrected its ship in the right direction. Unlike most of the action packed summer blockbusters releasing past few years, Captain Marvel actually has a good story, backed by great acting by Larson and Jackson! its has good dose of comedy and action neither overpower. But perhaps most importantly of all the Superhero movies, this one actually captures the essence of not giving up and fighting for what you believe in. Marvel finally has a movie with female lead, its shocking to think they took so long, but credit to them for delivering such a amazing movie. This is marvel's wonder woman moment. This movie goes to show that in spite of all the negativity that few vocal people might create for female lead movies, it can blow the box office! hopefully more movie studios will take a note and produce more movies representing minorities in bigger roles.

    Good Origin Movie

    I expected to hate this based on the bashing it's got so far but I really enjoyed the film. Brie Larson was great. CGI of Samuel Jackson was great to. Looking forward to seeing her in Endgame.

    • Trivia
      Stan Lee passed away while the film was being edited. As a result, Marvel Studios put together the special opening logo to honor him.
    • Goofs
      The plot centers around a light-speed engine that would be of immense value to one of the alien races given how fast it will allow them to travel through space. Their method of travel, however, is already drastically faster than light speed. Utilizing this engine would actually slow them down considerably.

      This could have been made clearer in the movie, but the FTL travel used by the Kree is a network of "jump points", essentially stable wormholes. This is the same method used in both Guardians films. The jump points exist in fixed locations and lead to other fixed locations, and their distribution is irregular. The lightspeed engine described in the film would presumably permit travel at lightspeed (or faster) directly rather than by means of jump points. This would enable trips to places that might not be readily reachable by jumps, and therefore would make a ship with such an engine much harder to track and follow for someone without such an engine.
