This is a very bland and unexciting film. The real issue was that Captain Marvel had no discernible personality or emotions and so I had no investment in her character.
The rest of the cast did a fine job, Ben Mendelsohn’s was the stand out performance for me and Samuel L Jackson as always oozes charisma and presence from every pore. Bree Larson is a talented actor, so I can only imagine that she was either poorly directed or just miscast in the role. I can’t really understand how she managed to give such an unconvincing performance.
Otherwise the story was pretty standard stuff with a plot twist you could see coming a mile off. The action wasn’t very well done or exciting. I thought the cat was a novel touch and I enjoyed Fury’s interaction with it.
Overall it was a disappointment and Marvel will need to do a lot better if they intend to have Carol Danvers helm the franchise.
