Two months before the final chapter (avengers endgame) to this long ass saga comes out, we have this film set in the pre-avengers 1990s. Brie Larson (The Room) plays Captain Marvel who will be a key character in the next Avengers film and this serves as her origin story. The film co-stars Sam Jackson as Nick Fury once more but now computer de-aged to make his appearance suit this earlier timeframe. This is the best use of the de-aging software I have seen and the first time it has been used on a character with an abundance of screen time. Still, there are many uncanny valley moments where it does not look right. You can kind of get away with it on one of these types of films, I just hope they can do a better job in the upcoming Scorsese film The Irishman where this uncanny look will be less forgivable.
As for this film, it is definitely one of the lesser films in the MCU,l. It looks even blander than most MCU films. The special effects are a mixed bag and never carry any weight or gravitas, the direction is bad and the first half hour is a badly written mess.
It does have some saving graces though, Sam Jackson is terrific and his interactions with Brie Larson and Goose are solid. The second half of the film is better that the muddled front end and it has a pretty good score.
Overall this is pretty forgettable stuff but has some essential plot background to the larger story for this 20 film arc we have been following.
5/10

Agree with OP. 6/10 IMO. Not bad. Just not great.

Beginning part was a bit of a mess, but once it moved to earth I thought it was fairly amusing. I liked the cat. Captain Marvel being a girl did surprise me. 5/10

Inspite of all the criticism, I thought it was good. The opening part was hard to follow. But I like strong, courageous, decisive female characters. (I personally like all strong, courageous, decisive characters - male and female. Too many indecisive weeny characters with whom the audience is supposed to identify with their personal problems in Hollywood today.) |
