The actress herself seemed to have rubbed me wrong from what little bit I know
But the movie was definitely not bad, despite all the women haters out there saying otherwise |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It was a average Marvel Movie with a lot of insider easter eggs. I enjoyed it for it being what it was, mindless entertainment. That’s about where I am. I watched as part of a Marvel Movie marathon with my son. Not great, not terrible, had some amusing moments. It was not the hot garbage that some tried to make it out to be. |

Marvel has been pretty damn good at matching actors to their characters, I think they missed the mark with her though. |

Sure, there was some "you go girl!" type stuff, but I didn't see it as really interfering with the story or ruining the experience for me. It certainly didn't seem to be at the expense of tearing down other groups (like men), and it didn't seem mean-spirited. It certainly wasn't ANYTHING like the total Mary Sue shitshow that was The Last Jedi.  Now, Brie Larson might be a gigantic bitch in real life (I have no idea), but I thought she did a perfectly acceptable job as an actress, and I thought it was a decent and entertaining superhero movie.I had fun watching it, and that's all I really expect from a Marvel franchise superhero movie. Not the greatest movie among the Marvel movies, but a decent solid superhero movie. Kind of my impression too. The Grrlpwr bullshit was certainly there throughout, but not overwhelmingly so. Larson is by all accounts a raging cunt in real life, and played the character like a female Nicholas Cage. She wasn't the best pick for that role. Otherwise, it's a decent middle of the pack MCU movie. |

I agree with OP. We've watched the movie twice. Both times it was entertaining, which is all we expected. Not a fan of Brie Larson. She has a flat affect, seems unpersonable, and as others said, seemed a bit of a mismatch for the role.

I thought it was solid. Didn't have as much of a heroes journey aspect but it wasn't "blink and I'm free of men holding me down" shit like Wonder Woman.
I didn't like how they portrayed the Kree and Skrulls. That was supposed to be a Vietnam allegory where both sides did atrocities in their endless war, not what they were portrayed as. They just picked the wrong modification to the wrong concept is all. They can rescue it with solid storytelling. |

For one, not a fan of the Marvel comic book movies...
I like my superhero stories to be gritty, not a family friendly Escape to Witch Mountain silly crap. Let's say I'm more of a Watchmen type if it comes to watching a comic book being torn apart on the movie screen... That being said, I literally watched it last week cuz I was up late working on some stuff and needed some background noise... The storyline was stupid, the SJW jabs (Brie and her pseudo lesbian connection to her battle-buddy, Jude Law challenging Brie to a mano-a-mano fight in the end) were just annoying. And, Brie is a horrible actor. Not sure if Marvel was attempting to make a woman lead come off as a male-smart ass, but people just don't get it - the visual of a woman trying to be a dude just doesn't fly, either she's a sarcastic tough person or not...so SJW trying too hard. Charline Baltimore in Long Kiss Good Night "was" an example of a woman who is strong and snarky without "trying" to be that woman (hope that makes sense). So, I pray Marvel will just stop. I fing hate them and their movies. The first Ironman, Thor and Captain America were ok, but the rest is just too silly, stupid and SJW. Poor, implausible stories (even for fiction). Can't wait for Black Widow's crappy movie to come out. BTW, Black Panther was even better than this Captain Marvel crap |

Neither the wife nor myself thought much if it. It was just not that entertaining and the story could have been done better. I don't have anything bad to say about the movie overall, it was just a 5 on a scale of 1-10. I expect more from a marvel movie.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I heard the Mary Sue criticism and was looking for it, and I honestly am not really seeing it. She gets her ass kicked during training, and is criticized for not being able to control herself. She fails completely at the first mission, and actually gets captured and interrogated. After arriving on Earth she chases a bad guy, and completely fails to kick his ass or capture him, and he just gets away. Throughout most of the movie she is riddled with self-doubt, and lacks confidence. As she discovers what is really going on, she realizes that she has been totally duped, and the people she thought were her allies and friends were just manipulating her. So there's a long list of failures and shortcomings, which is not characteristic of a Mary Sue at all, imo. ... then sure, at the end, she becomes this super-powerful hero, who can effortlessly kick ass, but that's not an uncommon story arc (and personal journey) in a super-hero story line. I mean, if you compare that to the Last Jedi - as an example of a ridiculous Mary Sue - I honestly wouldn't describe the character as a Mary Sue. I should have added I think her acting skills are cringeworthy...I'm all for a good popcorn movie but just could not get into this one. |

They are a scientifically-advanced nation.... who chooses their leader by a fist-fighting brawl. 2. The main antagonist is a very-intelligent former US military officer with multiple degrees ..... who talks like he's a ghetto thug. 3.
