I thought it was very good, and in the top half of Marvel films no doubt.

It was a pure blast!
Great action, great chemistry with Fury. Mar-Vell was a nice surprise. The Tesseract continuity was BRILLIANT (and what it did for her). Stan The Man both hommage were TERRIFIC (people were applauding like @Wonga experienced)


For me, the music was ok (grew up in the 90's so knew them all), but the choices weren't the best IMO (when comparing with how GOTG truly paved the way).

Can't wait for April 26th....

Rotten tomatoes is a joke these days with critics seriously out of sync with the fans Look at Dr Who season 11 The critics lapped it up and give it 97% The fans hated it Nd give it 21% and this seems to happening more and more especially with the main franchises

Out of curiosity, why fans are right and critics wrong. Why should critics be sync with fans, and them not being makes them wrong. Sounds like -30s and -40s Germany, only one right opinion exists.

It’s the fans that made the show They know what they want and what they don’t want Change a format at your peril as CBS have found out with Discovery and Disney have found out with Star Wars

Seriously I rarely watch tv or films as it’s more about the message than entertainment

Fans may have different views. Thor Ragnarok was well loved among fans. I did not like it at all. Too colourful and lite/funny (or trying to be). Still huge Marvel fan.

@Lollard2002 for not getting angry of my Germany thingy ...It was a bit so-so, I know ...

 

[Lollard2002]

I rarely get angry don’t turn green or have to buy new shirts and pants each week

I work in a cinema and this film has been busy! We've got 20+ showings of Captain Marvel this week, the cinema I work in only has 10 screens.

Friday was the busiest of the days so far cos of release day and of course it was International Women's Day! The Last time we had this many showings for a film was Avengers: Infinity War!

 

[Drum18]

This is what I call a movie experience!

Went with a friend...sigh.

What a pile of dross. Brie was miscast IMO. Some nice visuals, but I’m done with the MCU. I have had to swallow the lump and admit to myself I am not Marvels target audience. Which is a pity, because they have such pretty colours.

 

[Lone Crusader]

Me and my kids went to go see this and WOW! This movie was very good, not as good as Aquaman but still very good.

 

[hoppusdelonge]

I enjoyed the first 20 mins, after that it was a massive disappointment.

 

[IRON MAN]

LOVED IT.

 

[pi2loc]

Went with the girlfriend to see it. I didn't enjoy it as much as she did -- I should note, though, that she didn't enjoy it because of the feminism agenda or anything like that, she just have less expectations when it comes to Marvel films, or any film in general.

I did like it, though. I don't think it's a great film but as an origin story it works well. Many, multiple flaws in production, cinematography and sequences, but that's all technical stuff that nerds like me care about. Fight choreography was really disappointing, at one point I thought I was watching a B action movie with 100 camera angles per fight scene. I expected a bit more in that regard, considering the increase in quality in recent Marvel films.

Brie Larson as Captain Marvel did a good job for me. I would have chosen Charlize Theron over her but unfortunately she's too old for the role. Shame.

In a nutshell, it is a fun popcorn and above average film. Go see it if you have nothing better to do on a weekend.

It gets a solid 6/10.
