Guys, I've never been more worried about the MCU. Captain Marvel currently has an Official v2 Average Score of... 3.8/10?!  Good grief! That's the worst, most embarrassing, most disgraceful average score I can ever remember any major franchise release ever getting anywhere at all in history. There's no question the MCU will endure serious shakeups after Endgame because of this dismal performance. But what if Disney scraps these MCU jobbers altogether and just focuses on the A-list properties fans actually care about without Disney rigging the entire internet and paying top dollar for it? It makes no rational business sense for them to waste a penny on trash like Black Panther, Captain Marvel, or Ant-Mang when they can just make a bunch of X-movies in a row. Especially if the former are going to score an appalling, nigh-unbelievable 3.8! RIP MCU, fifteen minutes ago-2019. |

It was decent overall, maybe a bit of a missed opportunity though. Definitely lower-end of Marvel, somewhere a 6.5/10 - 7 to round it off. I thought there was indeed the potential of a great story in there, but the plot wasn't that well executed. The first act I thought especially was a dud, just felt bland and nowhere near as fun as they thought it would turn out to be. The movie definitely improved as it went on though, Fury and Goose kind of ended up stealing the show.
Captain Marvel herself was decent, not bad, but not super exciting either. I definitely think it would have been a much better movie if they showed her upbringing, dreams and aspirations in a more straight forward narrative and allowed the audience to connect with her. Her powers are flashy but they didn't really explain her true strength, and how precisely she is going to stop Thanos and bring back the Avengers. Bonus points though that there wasn't an obnoxious romance forced in, and that the mid-credit scene was by far the most relevant of all Marvel mid-credit scenes to date.
So yeah, the 7/10 average IMDB score is pretty spot on.

I have really been noticing just how much testosterone is on this board.

I also thought they should have stuck with a more straight forward narrative. Also, the entire first half of the movie was kind of bland. The second half was much better.

So yeah, the 7/10 average IMDB score is pretty spot on. I'd probably go 7/10 as well. You're right, it really needed to ground the character more from the start. Show us more about her family dynamic growing up, or some kind of adversity she faced. Real adversity, not just a five second clip of falling off a rope or one pilot being smug to her. Solid performances throughout lift this from being a 5 or 6. Even if the overall presentation of the story is a bit blah, it's elevated by actors like Larson, Jackson, Mendelsohn, Law and even Annette Benning's Supreme Intelligence. Would've liked to see more crazy sci-fi stuff with the Kree but we can save that for the sequel I guess. And the film really got an adrenaline boost for the final fight in space. Combine that with the mid-credit scene and you've really hyped the audience to see what happens next with this character.

I think I'll see it late summer when it start streaming legally.
End Game's full trailer today seems to portray I won't need a Captain Marvel backstory to understand things, beyond what I saw in its trailers.
I got this far without prior viewings to Avengers films of Incredible Hulk, Thor 1 & 2, Iron Man 2 & 3, Dr. Strange, & Black Panther. Frankly after seeing them in hindsight, I wasn't missing a lot for more personal enjoyment. Black Panther for instance was far greater character in Civil War, as was Banner in The Avengers 1 & 2, & Thor along with Ragnarok.

WOW! People hate this movie! 
Especially when you ignore the obvious 10/10 troll votes.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. I was pretty impressed with Larson’s performance and I liked the turn they did with the Skrulls.
