Yes, we all know that it will make a Billion, but we all know that the film was disappointingly bad. Of course the Rotten tomatoes score is about 20-30% inflated as we all know it would be, because: Vagina. If you actually read the 'positive' reviews , they all go something like this: "despite being bad, it had some good bits".
So yeah, the worst MCU film to date. This is my Ranking:
I'll start off with what worked. The first half of the film was OK. Samuel L Jackson was good. The skrull effects were good. The plot kind of held together.
OK, what went wrong? Well above all the films flaws, the most disappointing thing for me was Brie Larssons's performance. In a sequel everything else could be ironed out, but Brie Larsson seems both miscast and unable to bring a commanding peformance to the role. Pretty much everyone else on screen outshone her.
The second half of the film kind of made me think of an episode of Star Trek for some reason. And there were lots of special effects and action going on on screen, none of which I gave a shit about. That made me think of the recent Starwars films.
There was a scene in which Monica Rambo was telling Carol how she was the strongest person she had ever known. I understand that Captain Marvel is supposed to be a leader, which is why they were telling us this. But the film makers seem to have forgotten that they need to SHOW us this. Show don't tell. How hard of a concept is this?
There was the horrible out of place No Doubt track that played during a fight scene near the end. I don't know if that was a consequence of someone at Marvel editing the film later and trying to repair it by jazzing up the sound track. Anyway, it turned out to be the most awkward scene of the film.
What really stuck in my craw was the treatment of NIck Fury's character in this film. They fell into the classic "female empowerment" trap, where female empowerment means making a male character look stupid. Nick Fury is a badass. That is his superpower. We saw this in the Avengers when he grabbed a bazooka and took out a fighter jet. We saw this in The Winter Soldier when he was targeted by a Hydra team for assasination. He is always one step ahead.
Not in this film. He is there to make Captain Marvel look good by being the butt of every joke and going "woohoo" whenever a female character flies a jet. The way he lost his eye was lame and stupid.
There was periodically an insertion of feminist nonsense, like a guy telling Carol to smile, which apparently is sexual harrassment now, or something? Not sure what. Perhaps the sign of a chronically narcissistic and spoilt generation of females whose biggest problem is being told to smile? I used to get girls telling me to smile when I was a moody teenager, I guess I was sexually harassed all this time and never knew it. And then there were the flashbacks of all those sexist men telling Carol she wasn't good enough because she was a girl.
The scenes with Jude Law telling Carol she should control her emotions, because you know those sexist men always telling women how they are too emotional. Contrast this with the scene in Guardians of the Galaxy where Yondu tells Peter that he doesn't use his head to control the arrow. You have basically the same message, but here it is turned into crap by making it a turd-fling at men.
What about the mysterious pager that was teased in the post credit scene of Infinity war? Or the reason Fury never contacted her? Well the first question was answered in the most unimaginative linear way you could possibly imagine. She gives him a modified pager and says "you can call me with this, but only if it's really important OK?". So I guess that answered the second question too. I'm not sure how loki's invasion wasn't important enough, but hey whatever.
So all in all, the film was disjointed and formulaic. The main character was no character at all

They didn't make a Nick Fury movie or a Hawkeye movie either. Becuase Marvel make movies about Superheroes, not shield agents.

Captain Marvel is a nice movie, I'm feeling this movie have a positive gender representation. And this is the first female-led superhero movie of Marvel Cinematic Universe.

What the point of making a Superhero movie when the protagonist has the emotional range of a Tree. I don't go to the movies to watch lifeless soulless boring characters that punch things. I actually want characters that i can invest in and actually care about, i know, a novel concept . Because if you can't make me care about the protagonist . What is the point in caring about anything else that is happening. Brie Larson was a boring husk of nothing in this movie. Sam Jackson dose the best he can to compensate for lifelessness. But even he can't work miracles. I cared more for Ben Mendelsohn than i did for Brie Larson. And when a movie makes you care more about the Villain than the Hero, than you got a problem. And Faige wants this character to run the MCU. Yeah i can't wait for the whole thing to burn in flames. So forgive me for wanting see a movie about a female character i at least give somewhat a sh!t about vs a female character that a boring soulless lifeless husk of absolutely nothing. A Black Hole, if you will, that sucks in all personality and charisma from the universe. But if you guys want to settle for mediocrity. Be my guest.

I forgive you Nygma-0999. I guess people around here love dull female leads that can put you to sleep. They must have Sleep Apnea. Besides when Black Widow dose come out next year. Its guaranteed to be better than this garbage.
