Captain Marvel

Synopsis

Carol Danvers doesn't know who she is. She also doesn't realize that the war she is fighting in, isn't what she thinks it is.

Review

The chief complaint for this movie and EVERY SINGLE TIME she shows up is the inconsistency in her powers. She can do so much, but a little micro chip is stopping her? then a little anti-gravity fan stops her at full form, but not in the end. It is just unbearably frustrating.

The action, while frustrating is exciting. You do get to have some comedic fight scenes and the inevitable plot armor along with it, but in general, I really enjoyed watching them. The best one is where Carol punches the old lady in the train and they have a little brawl. Just fun to watch.

The acting is alright. I am not thrilled or upset by it. It does have the feeling of being on par with the Marvel world at this point. Maybe that is part of why this movie didn't do so well. The formula in the writing and the acting has had 15 movies or something like that to get it all together. Now they are comfortable in their process.

My Rating

This isn't a bad movie, but it sure isn't good. It needs some life to it. The acting is nothing special so you constantly feel like you are looking for someone to step up. However, they all hide behind the comedy rather than leaning into the anger and fear. I think a 7 is appropriate.

Parental Rating

Nothing here is too much. No nudity, language is light, and the blood is blue. I think my Mom would appreciate the "Girls are just as strong" theme in this, but probably wouldn't watch it on her own. My dad would watch, but wouldn't care either way. We will say approved by both, for being kind of bland.
