Don't buy into the incessant GamerGate/Incel gnashing of teeth about every movie, they are mostly just crying for attention (views and clicks).

I couldn't see Captain Marvel. As hard as I tried, all I could see was a righteous impetuous cunt.
And I couldn't enjoy the movie as a result. 0/10 will not watch again or any sequel |

I'm in the "Wasn't great, wasn't terrible, couple hours of brain candy" camp. I didn't find it as SJW offensive as some folks did.
My wife actually commented at some point while we were watching it that "Damn, she has like no ass. Girl has to do some squats". |

Quoted: I didn't bother watching it in the theatre, because I heard it was bad and was loaded with SJW/feminist bullshit, instead of the typical fun superhero story. But now that I have seen it, I think that criticism is way overblown. 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.

The main antagonist is a very-intelligent former US military officer with multiple degrees ..... who talks like he's a ghetto thug. 3.

It's very weird how basically Black Panther kind of acts like the rest of Africa is just empty savannah or something.

The suggestion that they've always been stable and well-ruled for centuries, and that method of choosing a leader suddenly becomes a problem NOW, is one of the dumbest premises in any movie I have ever seen. Also, it's completely inconsistent with the notion that it's a hereditary monarchy. I mean, what's the likelihood that his DAD also just happened to be the most bad-ass fighter who could also beat up anyone in the kingdom? None of it makes any sense. But, to a certain extent, arguments like that can be made for LOTS of marvel (comic book) movies. The underlying premises often make no sense, because we just want to get to the fun action, and cannot be bothered to put together a story beyond what a 12 year old would accept. |

I just thought it was a really mediocre Marvel movie. They seem to have different tiers with some getting more money and better writers than others.
Iron Man, Captain America, GotG are top tier while the Hulk, Spiderman, and Thor movies are lower tier. Except for Ragnarok, that was top tier. Then there are the bottom tier movies like Ant Man and Shazam. I thought Marvel was bottom tier with bad acting, bad directing, and a really common script. It didn't evoke and feelings, stir the emotions, or even entertain like the others. It was a Lego piece you plug in anywhere because it fits but doesn't really matter, it doesn't have any interesting features. It was better than WW84, though. |

Storyline got hijacked, she is over powered, bad acting, too much girl power.

Agreed. It actually does bother me a lot when things like sci-fi or fantasy (or comic book) movies simply don't bother to be internally and logical consistent, even when they could be. Having a wild and crazy underlying premise (like infinity stones, or magic or whatever) is fine, but that doesn't mean the REST of the story can just be poorly written bullshit, under the guise of "well, it's fantasy, do don't worry about" |

I'm on sabbatical from "Girl Power" movies. It was fun with Linda Carter's Wonder Woman and and Princess Leia and it's had a lot of good moments since, but like a nagging wife that will never stop, it's gotten old. And for me it's gotten beyond old. And what's worse is it's only going to get worse now that the Left thinks the country is behind them. And add in all the social messaging in the story and the over the top racist BS from the actors and it's taken most of the fun out of it for me. You guys fund them if you want, I really don't care. But I won't.

It's a fistfight TO THE DEATH. Yeah, that's thuper thivilized. |

The idiot actress said she didn't want non-soiboi guys watching her movie or some dumb shit like that.
Yet plenty of simps are apparently doing it anyway. |

She's a twat, a bad actor, and not really hot enough to be a lead. Movie would have been a lot better with someone even semi-likeable. Like a Jessica Biel or whatever.
Some of the group interviews out there with her and the other cast members are just painful to watch. Funny seeing trained actors that can't even hide how much they hate her for 10 minutes. |

The movie was less bothersome than the all girl power play in End Game. That was bullshit. Brownian motion on a battlefield don't work that way.

That movie compares to actual cinematic art the way doritos compares to good cuisine: fun for a little while but no real substance. That said, I liked the movie.

It was ok, yeah it was filled with SJW BS but still an ok popcorn movie. Personally I think Avengers Endgame was the best of the series and will never be eclipsed but I don't have high expectations for movies in general.

I dunno, it hasn't been on cable yet and after this free release of the new Wonder Woman 1984 movie, I'm not sure I'd vest $2 in anything that didn't have absolutely stellar reviews.

Ignoring any politics in it... I mean, I'm sure that the writers intended for there to be some kind of political message, maybe there was, but I'm not sure it came across to anyone who wasn't specifically looking for it.
What I remember about it is how forgettable the whole thing was. I have no desire to watch it again. It couldn't hold my attention the firs time through. And I have already forgotten much of it. Let's see. Chick gets told she can't do things and this is supposed to be some kind of horrible thing in her life when it seems pretty normal from a guy's perspective. I've been told I can't do things because of reasons all my life. Then she crashes or something and aliens get her and train her to be some kind of super soldier. The guy who didn't know who Star Lord was was there. And our heroine is unlikable from the start. I think there was some training fight where she took a cheap shot at her partner. Just what I want, the kind of person on my team who would zap someone with a tazer in a jujitsu sparing match. Then she fights some Skrulls. Then she ends up on Earth and meets a rather meek acting former Bad Motherfucker and there's a cat who is a monster. They do some stuff for some reason. Then she meets up with a friend who is Black and the friend has a cute daughter who gets inspired by meeting Captain Marvel, which must mean she inspires easily. Then Captain Marvel gets all superpowered for some reason and blows up a bunch of ships... That's what I took away from the movie. Did I miss anything? |
|
I will admit I was entertained. However, it was at the cost of several sacrifices I didn't think were justified. For one, never in comic history was Nick Fury anything other than a badass. They let him have a few surprises up his sleeves, but overall, they made him seem like little more than the comic relief. Also, that was a BS way to make him lose his eye.
I was also confused by the Skrull being made victims. They've always been portrayed as villans. If they really needed a population of refugees, surely someone else could've been picked. They're going to have to do some backpeddling now if they want to ever use them in future Fantastic Four movies. |
