Don't listen to the fake fans
Episode was great, don't listen to the rest being a bunch of babies.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Good not great
Feel free to disagree with me but I said I'd be honest so here is my no spoiler review of Captain Marvel. I'm just gonna get this out of the way, I thought the movie was good but not great or anything; to me it was just an okay film for the majority of it.
I'll start out with the positives about the movie. First thing's first, Brie Larson does a good job in the role and I'm glad they went with her for Captain Marvel. Although her acting be a little wooden at times, for the majority of the movie she is great in it. Sam Jackson gets some of the best lines in the film as per usual and I really loved his role, also no spoilers but Ben Mendelsohn is perfect in this; this might just be my favourite role of his.
The score is one of the betters one in the MCU, not perfect but its still better then the majority of their scores. The story once the last hour kicked in, was pretty great when compared to the first. Some of the action set pieces were well done. I have to add that some of the jokes in here are some of the best in any MCU movie so take that as you will. This movie might not be great but its still better then both Thor 2 & Iron Man 2 IMHO.
As far as the negatives go, my biggest complaint with this movie is the first hour dragged and was boring to me. I get that this is an introduction to the character but it felt boring up until the second hour where things got much better. Back to my point about Brie, while she does a good job in this movie and I'm glad they went with her; I do feel like her acting at times was a bit wooden but that is probably because of the script. Another thing I feel like the villain was really weak in this, didn't really care about who he was. Some of the CGI in this was abit on the bad side, but now as awful as some people are saying. I feel like the biggest letdown with this movie was the first half of the story could've been much better then it actually was. All of this being said though, I want a sequel because I know they'll improve on the mistakes from the first movie.
Overall thoughts, I'd give a 3.5/5 not great but a good movie nonetheless.
