Captain Marvel had good action, a decent story, but a lot of things can be underwhelming and at times disappointing!!!
Real Rating: 4 Stars
What I Like:
-What you get in a Marvel Cinematic Universe, a lot of good action and hilarious moments
-I loved the chemistry between Carol Danvers and a young Nick Fury, and also seeing a young Agent Coulson was a breathe of fresh air
The So So:
-I thought the character development for Captain Marvel had good moments about knowing who she really is and what she needs to do, but there were some underwritten development about her past as a human which didn’t fulfill me to know her character more, the amnesia route didn’t quite work
What I Didn’t Like:
SPOILER THREAD (Don’t read if you haven’t seen it):
-I didn’t like the twist where the Skrulls, a group of villains that I was looking forward to, ended up to be good and caring people, I knew the twist of the Kree was coming, but for the Skrulls, I expected them to be more evil, not a 80’s sitcom family, one of the biggest reasons why I hated it like the Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3, is that as of right now, they ruined a chance to make an Avengers movie about the Skrull Secret Invasion which is my favorite Avengers story, so it really left a bad taste in my mouth
Overall:
There was a lot of hype for me going to this film. Seeing a powerful hero, and seeing a new group of alien villains. However, for a Marvel Cinematic Universe film, I felt underwhelmed with the character development and didn’t like the twist that much either. Don’t get me wrong, it is still an enjoyable movie with great action and comedic moments, I just expected better. Regardless, I’m still looking forward to see Captain Marvel’s role in the bigger picture. Maybe we will see a lot more in Avengers: Endgame, who knows? At least I have that hope in the near future!!!
