This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

for the past 11 years we thought these various heroes were hot shit but all it took was carol danvers absolutely shattering the glass ceiling with her glowing fists to make the rest of the mcu look like kids in halloween costumes. and to find out that all along they’ve been following her lead without knowing it? that they wouldn’t even BE the avengers without her? the galaxy brain of it all. also she’s clearly a lesbian. because i said so

i know nothing about marvel so here is a guest review from my frat kid brother home from college for spring break: “captain marvel was dope. brie larson was great. um, i dunno! it was good! i don’t know what to say. brie larson was really good. uh, yeah. i’d give it 3 1/2 stars and a rotten tomatoes score of 82%. [pause as he as zelda demolishes olimar in smash] i personally just really like brie larson. her name is a cheese. the cat was great too. why the in-depth questions? jude law? yeah, jude law is in it a pretty solid amount. lee pace? who is that? oh shit, ronan? uh, barely. he’s barely in it. can you not stand right in front of the tv. MOVE”
Review by davidehrlich ★★ 265

For a film that’s almost completely incoherent for most of its first act — and seldom finds its footing after that — “Captain Marvel” is rather clear about its one big idea. Jude Law, playing an alien military commander named Yon-Rogg, mansplains it to his promising female protege as they spar during the opening scene. “There’s nothing more dangerous to a warrior than emotion,” he barks at Vers (Brie Larson). “You have to let go of the part of yourself that makes you vulnerable.” He’s Morpheus, she’s Neo, and this is the dojo fight from “The Matrix” if it were less visceral and more explicitly gendered.
But “Captain Marvel,” despite expectations and appearances, is not a groundbreaking science-fiction saga from…

This is what happens when all the better Marvel producers, writers, and directors are busy with Avengers: Endgame.

While Marvel is no doubt viewing CAPTAIN MARVEL as a stride forward in the representation department - this movie is scientifically designed to appeal to those particular values - it's a massive step backward in terms of formal technique and fooling folks that these MCU pictures are anything more than feature length installments in a television series that will only end once humans have scorched the earth and there is no signal on which to transmit these products of the Industrial Cape Complex. It's not quite Phase One, THOR level flat, but there's a rather pronounced lack of visual flash about our initial introduction to Carol Danvers, Air Force pilot and alien smasher of the patriarchy. All the criticisms that've…

The most generic possible mcu movie
Review by Almudena Manzanilla ★★★

This film made me think of the sequence that Marvel decided to use for the release of each film. I do think that each release, the time/moment came out, fits perfectly to give a greater impact rather if they have done it on the correct timeline like I'm watching them right now.
Now, Captain Marvel, yes this is a strong movie with a strong not so evident message about feminism. I love that they never use the word "women", as a positive adjective about anything. They showed a strong character and that's it. I don't like this actor, sometimes I feel that her attitude/personality was a little bit forced. Like "yeah I want to show that I'm a cool person,…

This movie just doesn’t do it for me. There’s almost no conflict and she as a character doesn’t grow at all. No one rises up who is powerful enough to challenge her either physically or emotionally so she dominates everything around her and doesn’t learn anything or grow hardly at all because of it. I think that this movie had some good potential, but had a little bit too much of a social/political agenda which got in the way of the making of what could have been a great super hero movie. I did like the development of her perception of the krees and the shape shifting race (can’t remember what they’re called) and I also liked how she was able to break the bonds of the oppression that she had felt from the krees specifically Jude Law’s character. Unfortunately neither of these had enough substance or depth to them to make a real character out of her.
Review by Killykillykilly ★

This movie fits poorly into the overall universe. I found it poorly paced and the plot to be erratic.
Review by ciah ★★★★

FINALLY WATCHED! other then the fact that i was confused as usual during marvel movies, this was great and a much needed breath of fresh air
Review by NickelNemo ★★★

Carol and Maria are lesbians so gay rights but this is also just military propaganda so homophobic rights
