I'll make it very simple and clear: Captain Marvel is really worth a watch. It's just entertaining and visually impressive, exactly what it was meant to be.
Just keep this in mind that it's an origin story so don't go looking for an overstuffed complex story. It's just a fun action movie that introduces us to a new superhero Captain Marvel, played brilliantly by Brie Larson. I became an instant fan watching her in this action heroine avatar, something she manages to pull off with ease. Watch her in the action sequences and there's no way you can't be impressed. Viewers were literally cheering for some of the most heroic moments in the film. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is as awesome as always, it's just that his character feels even better and refined than what we've seen. Jude Law is also quite good, and so are Ben Mendelsohn and Lashana Lynch.
But the one character that ultimately steals the show is Goose, the cat. Some of the sequences involving her are so hilarious that it was really difficult to stop laughing.
Visual effects are excellent, and the IMAX 3D viewing just elevated them. And since it's most importantly an action movie, every single action sequence it delivers is impressive, especially the train sequence. I would call it one of the major highlights of the movie. Cinematography in certain portions is really impressive. Humor, like any other MCU movie, is top notch and really manages to make you laugh.
Captain Marvel has a simple-looking origin story presented and executed in a terrific manner. The directors have done a great job with the characterization of Captain Marvel, and that is what makes everything in the film seem so good. The pace is brisk, gore is minimal to no, and there's nothing unsuitable for kids.
Yes, you. The one screaming, "Brie Larson is toxic" and "Her movie is shit!" and other slurs I dare not mention. Tread lightly.
You are one. We are hundreds, thousands. Millions. You aren't just IN the minority; you ARE the minority.
I don't feel awkward or anxious going to watch Captain Marvel at least five times around others, and your words don't affect me. Many others, however, are coming out of their shells for the first time in their lives. This is the first time many are enjoying the beautiful movie that has been made for us - and it IS powerful. Incredibly so. DON'T ruin this for them. We Captain Marvel fans may have our differences, but we will not hesitate to come to the aid of our fellow fans, especially against someone who so virulently slurs that which has brought us all together.
Don't take this the wrong way. I don't hate you. I don't fear you.
I pity you.
I'm sorry that you feel this way towards us. I'm sorry that Captain Marvel and Brie are such a bane to your existence. And I'm sorry that you are missing out on such a wonderful experience. Mostly, though, I'm sorry that you feel the need to go around and publicly chastise and berate others. I'm sorry that, to ensure your own validity, you need to make others feel invalid. I'm sorry that your self-worth is so infinitesimally miniscule that you have to make others feel less-than-human, at least in your own denatured mind, just to feel whole. I am truly sorry that day-in and day-out you have to put up with your worthless, meaningless, Shakespearean tragedy of a life.
I ask you politely to cease your unnecessary cries for attention, and instead invite you to join our ranks. Stop watching porn and anime, go to cinema to watch Captain Marvel, and breathe in the splendour and the amazement of this movie, and then, maybe, just maybe, you'll see what you've been so hopelessly searching for this whole time.

Haven't seen a Marvel movie in theaters since Civil War. The only thing worse than the current crop of cape comics are cape movies.

I have a question. Do you just lurk on Yea Forums like a Walmart greeter, just to set the record straight to anyone who seems to be enjoying something? Is this what you've reduced your social life to?

Watched Captain Marvel in IMAX 3D out of sheer curiosity. I thought it was below average and is the worst Marvel film so far but it's okay since I also saw Alita: Battle Angel in IMAX 3D for the Nth time. And I watched the OVA on my BVM CRT.

This movie looks boring as shit and i have no interest in it, stop trying to sell me something i dont want to see.

Why didn't the "superheroes" just leap out over a single bound from of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each film following the tech wizard and his pals from New York as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the flat imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make spectacular unspectacular, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Perlmutter vetoed the idea of Nolan directing any of the films; he made sure the films would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody? Just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for the comics. The Marvel comic series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Batman series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the Captain Marvel comics were good though
"No!" The writing is dreadful; the comic was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a they wanted Carol to matter, they changed the comics numbering to "1".
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time they launched a new number 1, I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sana Amanat's mind is so governed by cliches and dead bussines practices that she has no other style of being an editor. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Captain Marvel by the same Brian Michael Bendis. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Marvel comics at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Brian Michael Bendis." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read Marvel comics you are, in fact, trained to read Bendis.
OP is clearly not a shill, it says it right at the top of the post.

You made another whole thread for your stupid fucking opinion, because you think it's so important? Or do you have that obligation as a hard-working shill?
You're worthless shit, either way.
Joshua Ward
You gotta put NIGGER at the end of your post to prove you're not a paid shill

I was nervous there for a moment, but we did it! Super psyched to be working towards a better future with y’all, I hope Disney makes a TON of fr*cking money!
Aha ha ha ha ha, I love it when they blatantly lie A month before launch the projection was $180m, and they dropped it by $80m a few weeks back Marvel flopped so hard they had to invent fake news to cover for it
