Ah ha.
Yeah, she's been very popular. I hear it's well written, though I haven't read it myself.
The animation has looked pretty strong, though. [Reply]

To be fair Samuel L. Jackson tries his hardest to make this movie respectable. Him and the cat make a good team for a little comedic relief. Everyone else in this movie just wasn't good. I am a Jude Law fan and even he was terrible. I don't know if it was the script or the acting. [Reply]

It's very popular and has had great writers. I do hope she gets a movie in the future esp so my daughter can see it. There are rumors she could first show up on a Captain Marvel sequel. [Reply]
Also you do not need to see this movie before End Game. You learn nothing new that will matter at all in the plot other than Captain Marvel will be in that movie. Which has already been confirmed with the end credits of Infinity War. [Reply]

He does the best with the role he was given. Can't really complain about any scene he was in. The movie doesn't have any major plot holes or anything that stands out saying this is terrible. It just all seems forced. They really wanted to make a girl power movie. [Reply]

Thanks for the heads up ! Will be skipping Captain Marvel . Hyped for Endgame . [Reply]

I'm pretty confident in Endgame. The script was pretty much written in conjunction with Infinity War. The directors are the same. It'll be good as long as it's not like Marvel shows up and just saves the day, and I haven't gotten the impression that will be the case from the previews at least. [Reply]

This ..that said if you hate Captain Marvel or the actor then I'm guessing future mceu movies won't be for you. I keep hearing she will be the next one to lead the way. We'll see. [Reply]

I am a fan of Marvel, but I won't be seeing this one due to the BS associated with it. [Reply]

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]
