Goddamn you are dull.

So...are the movies canon now? I'm saying that if I see an event in the Ms. Marvel movie, is that the accepted way it happened?
[Reply]

That's accurate. Although, as in the comics, there may be occasionally contradictions and it'll just be up to future films to resolve those however they want.

All BS aside, movie was very meh. It's not Iron Man3 or Thor: Dark World level bad, but it probably ranks just above that. Not good.

Larson didnt do a very good job selling the character at all. Dialogue and acting was awful, even for a comic book flick.

Best parts of movie were SLJ (Fury) and the cat. And if this is supposed to be MCU strongest super hero, you cant have its supporting characters stealing the show if this is the direction MCU is going.

Wouldnt be surprised if Larson is re-casted by someone else to play Cpt Marvel going forward. It wasnt a good job. Felt kind of forced.

Larson may have won awards in the past, but it just felt that shes just an actress "trying" to play a superhero, if that makes sense. And supposedly Disney execs arent too happy with her performance either. It was a very Megan Fox-ish like performance. Shes hot, but the character just sucked.

I thought it was OK. There were scenes that resonated with me and the fights were done well enough. The only 'grrrrl power' thing that annoyed me was:





Any other 'grrrl power' stuff that went on is pretty much what you should expect from a story about the character. I also didn't like their use of flashbacks. It made the plot choppy and disjointed to me from time to time. It just wasn't elegant storytelling. I feel like there was a better way to put the story together.


I'm also not sold on the actress, Larsen. She wasn't shitty at it but just lacked charisma. I'll compare it to Wonder Woman; Gal Gadot grabbed my attention every time she was on the screen. Not just because she was hot but because she has this undeniable charisma. It helped carry the movie. Larsen doesn't have that.

I mostly agree with this. The plot was VERY disjointed, all starting from the very beginning. Movie probably should have started with Benning's character and her work re: Project Pegasus.

100% agree with you on Larsens lack of charisma.

On another point...the villian in this film is very underwhelming. I mean I get why it had to be that way given the story etc...but I was like ..."wow so that's it?"
[Reply]

Kind of hard for me to pick 'the' villain. I didn't think of it until you mentioned it, but yeah. And that's what I was thinking after I made my post about the structure of the film - start with Project Pegasus. Annette Benning did a pretty good job overall. Her and Jackson could have carried the movie.
[Reply]

I highly doubt she gets recast. If they try to boot her she calls foul and Disney and Marvel are labeled sexist. It wouldnt happen. Unless they gave her roles in every Star Wars movie for the next decade.

On the other hand, though, this character is a lot more interesting than Super Man even with Larsen.

It's pretty clear at this point that review aggregators are going to be useless for this one. I'm not sure it really matters, though. If you're an MCU fan, you'll see it. If not, you won't.
[Reply]

Yea, I'll never understand why people would go to RT to determine whether they want to see a movie or not. The movie either interests you, or it doesn't. I'm going to wait to see this one until next week when things won't be so crowded.

Everything changed when our main theater switched to reserved seats. I used to never go to movies when they opened because I didn't want to deal with getting there early to get a good seat. Now, I'll show up about 5 minutes before, walk to my seat that I reserved weeks ago, and relax. :-)
[Reply]

I tried so hard to like the movie but just couldn't. The whole movie just reminded me of Green Lantern. The whole men always kept me down girl power was so over the top. The 2 main female leads were very poorly acted and was forced.

When the best character of the whole movie is a cat then you got some major problems. This movie coming after Infinity Wars is a travesty compared to that movie. If Marvel next generation is with her leading the way I will be saving my money on seeing those movies.

It's fantastic...I love that more main theaters have this option and order tix online
