Captain Marvel was super fun. I have a couple nitpicks, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

A few spoilers...
Post-credit scenes:
Best line:
Nitpick:
Overall, I thought the movie had a good amount of humor, without overdoing it to the point of becoming a comedy/parody. The 90s stuff hits all the right nostalgia notes for me. I would say overall it is not in the top tier for me, but is a ton of fun ahead of what is certain to be a rough one in Endgame.
Jackson and Larson play well off of each throughout the movie. Goose is awesome as well.

Captain Marvel looking at a $160MM weekend while Alita might make $3MM. Impressive work by Posobiec and his boycott effort. What a **** loser.
Marvel Thread (Movies, Comics, etc)
The dialogue was so bad, I couldn't get through it. I'm not a Larson fan at all, but this looks like a directing issue as much as anything. The legit reviews I've seen say it's okay for general audiences, but character-wise Alita is far and away a better story and has better acting.
The rumour is that Marvel has 2 different cuts of Endgame, depending on the success of this movie. This was the main reason I was rooting for the boycott. That and the awesome rants from That Star Wars Girl.

That rumor was 100% perpetuated by right leaning entertainment sites. Russo Bros. Have already confirmed that the final edit of the movie is done.

Captain Marvel was very enjoyable.
Did you enjoy the movie/character enough for her to be the centerpiece of the MCU moving forward, as has been rumored?
Oh boy. That’s a no. I like the character but she’s too powerful. She’s Superman levels of powerful so I don’t think you can build a real franchise around that kind of character. The only way it works is if they take artistic license with her historical power fluctuations and de-power her a bunch.
Also you don’t have to watch infinity war again. This is a prequel.

Ha, I actually did watching Infinity War last night! That scene where Thor blasts into Wakanda gave me chills.Captain Marvel was very enjoyable.

What about the rumors about cast being unhappy with it? Same?That rumor was 100% perpetuated by right leaning entertainment sites. Russo Bros. Have already confirmed that the final edit of the movie is done.

Saw both of those rumors originating from the same site. Now, with that being said, if Endgame ends up as “overpowered Captain Marvel shows up and saves the day, original character get bent”, I won’t be happy.What about the rumors about cast being unhappy with it?

Would certainly hope that isn't the case. The thing is, power alone isn't likely to solve the current problem so there is that.Saw both of those rumors originating from the same site.

I didn’t have any issue with AB. I thought her and SLJ as well as Jude Law had good banter. What did anyone expect out of this? It isn’t Oscar bait.

Just got back from Captain Marvel. I thought it was very enjoyable. It was a good origin story, tied in with Infinity War and helps set up End Game... no real complaints from me. Thought the 90's stuff was good and not over done.

Then why pay millions for an Oscar winner that gets outshined by every single other actor in the film, including a cat.I didn’t have any issue with AB. I thought her and SLJ as well as Jude Law had good banter. What did anyone expect out of this? It isn’t Oscar bait.

Cap marvel was pretty good. Slow starting out. Since around 25 years pass between this and where we are at now, I wonder if they make her powers diminish with age as a solution to her being too powerful?

I was so glad that someone in the theater felt the need to point out and laugh at every dumb 90s reference during the movie, it really made the viewing experience so much better.

The only actor/actress that put on a performance through the MCU is RDJ. How should she have been? She’s pretty in line with how the character has been portrayedI would like to know what you think of this review.
