So... I wasn't excited about Captain Marvel. I didn't particularly like the character going in given her characterisation in the comics and Brie Larson's heavy handed feminist posturing surrounding the movie's release.
However, the film itself...
Is good. It's REALLY good.
Gonna get my complaints out of the way first.
Very ropey looking CGI throughost of the film, particularly in scenes showing Captain Marvel flying, Some VERY cringey lines and Brie Larson's acting is, at best, passable (I see where people were coming from saying she can't really show emotion), and a few times the pacing goes a bit weird and there's points where the action drags on too long and the low point luls go on just a bit too long as well.
However, Cap. Marvel in the film is still a very likeable, and eventually, relatable protagonist. Sam Jackson probably turns in his best performance as Nick Fury ever (He's seriously the shining star of the film), it's nice to see Coulson turn up in the MCU movies again, Goose is SO freaking adorable (even if I am still pissed they changed Chewie's name T^T), and I'd say its probably one of the funniest MCU movies ever... After Ragnarok, Homecoming and GOTG Vol. 1 and 2.
Also the soundtrack IS Awesome, even if it is just because I'm a girl who was born to be a 90's kid and was born a little too late (FUCKING NIRVANA! MY MOST FAVOURITE BAND EVER!)
I went in not expecting alot and I ce out very satisfied. I never felt like I'd wasted my money... It probably also helped a went in after a few cans of cider and continued to drink cider through the whole film XD
