Captain Marvel

PG-13

Saw at Showcase Cinema in Foxboro on March 8 2019


While not my favorite Marvel movie, I did enjoy Captain Marvel. I think that the placement of this movie on the Marvel film release time line, might have diminished this movie's story importance. Endgame is coming soon, which makes this movie seem less important. Perhaps as was said, it was also less "directed", both literally and metaphorically. However, I was never bored, never tried to sneak a look at my phone to check the time and would probably grade it as a low B.




I liked Captain Marvel. I could have used more Kree vs. Skrull backstory, but I was entertained by this movie. The opening montage as credits began made me a bit weepy, but I was pleased that was done. I felt the arc was more in Carol/Vers recognizing her power and unleashing it appropriately. To give her an emotional arc, the audience would need more than snapshots (literally photographs in one scene) of her maturation as an Terran child to young girl to pilot and woman.
