Well she's actually in other, non-superhero/blockbuster films, you can see her talent in. Those have like, fleshed out characters and don't need sequels to work though. I saw some of that, room (2015), her solid room performance does not help her The Room performances in B-movies.
Then again, as we see the average Marvelite will be much more concerned with attributes like her butt-size anyway. So not biggie.

Looks good, the last scene of the trailer sold me! Will definitely watch this. And as Brie Larson's acting, it's probably just an acting choice. Maybe when she gets her memory back, she will get her emotions back. I'm sure Brie Larson will be great in this. Also, gotta love DC-Fan liking every negative comment here, showing the bias that he is.  |

The trailer looks good and thank the heavens there's very little comedy. Fingers crossed...
Actually, I can't help myself feeling that Brie Larson is the first true miscast in the MCU. The more I watch her the less I like her and the more I know about her real life personality, the more I despise her.
Oh well...

Don't know why, I'm still not sold on it. It's a lot better than the teaser but it just feels... I don't know, like the trailer doesn't leave room to breathe? Does that make sense?
The standard MCU trailer (especially for origin movies) have this down-to-earth, personal feel to them. This trailer has a more epic, detached feel to it... which is more common for DC and X-men movies. Ironically, both the Aquaman and Shazam trailers have instead adapted that personal, down-to-earth feel which used to be more common with MCU movies.
It's not a bad trailer, just doesn't catch my attention like the usual MCU trailer does.

"The most epic story in the history of CBMs is ongoing; By the way, here's this other random character..." I'm a huge fan of the character-- the trailer looks fantastic to me but of course, I'm biased. Still, I firmly believe the underwhelmed reaction by some people has more to do with the expectations attached to other MCU properties. There's no way to separate the two so the critique is completely fair. |

The fact that the trailer doesn't tell you everything about the story is actually being viewed as a negative by some people, but the mystery is what's going to make the film unique. It isn't your standard origin story; the hero is actually being deconstructed as the story moves along. The more I think about it, the more excited I get for this film. Just remember, if it's a thinkpiece that doesn't make a $1B and score 97% on RT, it's a failure. If it destroys the box office and is universally praised by critics, it's due exclusively to paid off critics and SJWs. |

This trailer has a more epic, detached feel to it... which is more common for DC and X-men movies. Ironically, both the Aquaman and Shazam trailers have instead adapted that personal, down-to-earth feel which used to be more common with MCU movies. It's not a bad trailer, just doesn't catch my attention like the usual MCU trailer does. It would appear that the Marvel marketing team has lost a bit of its mojo, in their defense, Marvel's growing and complex eco-system of stories must make this film nearly impossible to market in any coherent way. With (the as yet untitled) A4 marketing running concurrently, both films have to be extremely guarded in what footage they choose to show so that the one does not troll the other. Another weak point within the trailer, and perhaps the film too once it arrives, is Marvel's indecisiveness. Is Captain Marvel the story of a rogue soldier caught between two factions in an intergalactic war? Or, is she a nascent superheroine on (yet another) "journey of self-discovery." If it is the latter, we've been down this road before with Thor, Doctor Strange, and countless other superheroes (on both sides of the aisle). I for one want Marvel to showcase more resolute superheroes. For all her wooden, fish-out-water tomfoolery, Gadot never gives an inch as Wonder Woman - she is fully committed to her beliefs and her mission. In many ways, I think that's what audiences responded to most in that film. The Wonder Woman has no time for fashionable neuroticism or self-doubt. She is fortitude made flesh as is his majesty, T'Challa. IMHO, this is what makes for a boss-level character and rip-roaring, superhero action. Larsen’s wooden stances and scowls live in the shadow of her more successful big sister. Gadot didn't produce much in the way of convincingly toothy grins but, she was let off the hook for some reason. (This goes to show the power of a tiara). All that said, I enjoyed the trailer for the simple reason that I know the depth and quality of the material Captain Marvel draws from (unlike many of the neophytes here) and, as such, I am biased. The hints at overt Kree fascism and the more subtle allusions to the Kree's unshakable belief in their own racial superiority are enough to get any knowledgeable Marvel reader excited. Those who cry "foul" and, "it sucked" are certainly entitled but, the complaints of a lack of an ear-to-ear grin on the lead, sub-par visual effects and too much humor reveal an ignorance to the material that I suppose is understandable if not altogether repetitive and tedious. Marvel could hit or miss with this outing but, a miss is likely to be very costly to the brand in this case. Hopefully, it is what we didn't see in the trailer that will mean far more than what we did. If not, Marvel will need some time to recover from this blunder. If anyone recounts the history of the Kree, citing specifically, the third dawn of genetic supremacy, I will consider this film an instant classic. Dawn three in the fourth eon of gene mastery Sentient being are numberless I vow to save them all Delusions are inexhaustible I vow to end them all The gates of creation are manifold I vow to enter them all The Kree way is supreme |

Heck, Fury showed quite a bit of personality in that trailer but we know nothing about what his story is there. And the action is not at issue. Thor Ragnarok had one of the best received teasers among MCU movies and it had very little h2h combat in its trailer too. The problem here is for most people who are not fans of Captain Marvel, who don't even know who she is, the trailers are supposed to get them interested in her character. I feel like this trailer didn't do such a good job at that. But like I said, it's not a bad trailer by any means, just not up to par with most MCU trailers. |

Yeah that's my major concern for the character overall. I'm not sure Larson was the right pick. Ironically she would've made a better Black Widow, and ScarJo would've been a better Carol. |

Yeah, I had my doubts on Larson as well. I always felt like they should have gotten someone with a stronger screen presence like Katheryn Winnick or Blake Lively. But I'm willing to give Larson a chance. For what it's worth, despite my criticisms I'm not hating on the trailer, and I'm more or less sure that the movie will still turn out good. I guess the main question is whether it will turn out great. |
