Alright, so I'm typically very bad at talking about movies, but here goes...

(Not really any spoilers, just giving an easy way to skip past my ramblings.)

Spoiler Block

Captain Marvel was a strange movie in that despite it's flaws, I still found myself enjoying it. Let me get this out of the way now, I enjoyed Thor: The Dark World and thought Black Panther was mediocre and way overhyped.

The good: Storyline was solid, although slightly campy and cliche. It worked very well as an explanation of the character for those who know nothing of Carol Danvers, and as an entry into the MCU.

The bad: Overhanded CG that at times looked rushed or like something I would expect from a rewatch of the first slew of MCU films. To be fair, I felt Black Panther suffered from the same thing. The other problem I had, and it's the same one I had with Rogue One, I already know what happens before and after this movie. There were no new revelations outside of "who is Captain Marvel".

Overall I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10.

I'm in!

Thanks for your review Nic! Although it seems that you expected more (I seem to feel the same for most movies lately), I will probably see it eventually, like most Marvel movies or TV Series. I didn't see Black Panther yet, but I do have it on disc, so I will when I'm in that kind of mood, lol

I can't wait to see it.
