Captain Marvel (2019)

Captain Marvel

• This film is decently good, and very underrated to me. I suppose I can understand some of the flaws, but there’s nothing better than watching a female led superhero film. It’s my personal opinion that half the men who don’t like this simply don’t like seeing a woman kick male ass. But yeah, Brie Larson is a wonderful fit for the part, and she definitely helps make this film entertaining. She brought a good flare to the role, which was energizing. I also really loved young Nick Fury, young Phil Coulson, and of course, the immaculately gorgeous Jude Law. It’s really cool to see a couple people's origin, and a lot more elements of the MCU fall into place after watching this. For example (spoiler!), the ending shows the beginning of the Avenger Initiative, and finding out for the first time that Captain Marvel was basically the birth of the Initiative is so cool. The overall story was pretty good, though it has a lot of MCU cliches, so it doesn’t always seem very new or original. All the characters were pretty good though, and the setting was great. I loved the use of Blockbuster and other 90’s things, as it gave the movie an authentic and nostalgic feel. The music was great, both the score and the inclusion of a few 90’s songs. The CGI and effects were also pretty good and visually pleasing (to me, at least). All the fight sequences were done pretty well, too. My favorite part of the whole film was the whole space/sci-fi feel. It was a bit different from any other MCU film, which I liked. It kind of felt like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who all in one. There were some really awesome spaceship chase scenes, along with lots of laser fire. I think that people who critique this don’t like to have fun. They always point out flaws and nitpicks, but I just like to have fun, so I’ll never rate this lower than 8/10. Overall, this film is good (come fight me), and seeing a female superhero emerge and wreck havoc is awesome. Screw you if you don’t like Captain Marvel. There ain’t no room for misogynists in the MCU. Anyways, I’d recommend this film to most superhero/Marvel fans. This film is officially Berry Approved, so go watch it now!
