Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThe plot centers around a light-speed engine that would be of immense value to one of the alien races given how fast it will allow them to travel through space. Their method of travel, however, is already drastically faster than light speed. Utilizing this engine would actually slow them down considerably.
This could have been made clearer in the movie, but the FTL travel used by the Kree is a network of "jump points", essentially stable wormholes. This is the same method used in both Guardians films. The jump points exist in fixed locations and lead to other fixed locations, and their distribution is irregular. The lightspeed engine described in the film would presumably permit travel at lightspeed (or faster) directly rather than by means of jump points. This would enable trips to places that might not be readily reachable by jumps, and therefore would make a ship with such an engine much harder to track and follow for someone without such an engine.

Captain Marvel: Underwhelming
Plot
Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.
Cast
Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson (Because duh), Jude "Just consistently dreadful" Law, Annette Bening, Djimon Hounsou, Clark Gregg and blink and you'll miss him Lee Pace who returns as Ronan but looks so different I didn't even think it was him.
Verdict
I watched this back when it was initially released, I watched it a second time a few days ago as the missus is wanting us to binge watch the entire MCU as she's very behind. My opinion has changed on the 2nd viewing and not in a good way, my rating has shifted from a 6/10 to 5/10.
You see straight out of the gate the first thing you notice about Carol Danvers is she's not really a character you can get behind. She's not funny, she's not entertaining, she comes across as a surly teenage girl who is just upset at the slightest thing and just doesn't want to be there. This is not a character you can build a movie around, like trying to make a teenage Groot movie! It wouldn't work, but he's okay as a side character.
Supporting cast are also hit and miss, Jackson and Gregg are great, but Lynch and Law just stink up every scene they're in.
I'm a Marvel fan but I recognize where it's weak, this is a distinctly average film that serves as a standalone origin story and doesn't contribute much to the universe as a whole.
Rants
I remember when the movie came out all the controversy with Brie Larson, I just had to Google what the controversy even was as I don't remember due to not focusing on such things. Now I can't really get a definitive answer. From what I see it's a combination of people not liking her attitude and her comments on feminism. So I Googled further to see what she said, she came across arrogant in them and a smidge out of touch but none of it explained the overwhelming hate I've seen aimed at her. Then I remembered that people talk about all the different types of bigotry but misogyny rarely comes up, I remembered that it's visibly increased over the past decade and appreciated why she's been targeted. News flash, the outspoken loud brash man hating femnists you likely thing of when you hear that word make up a very small percentage. Feminism is good, if you disagree I hope you simply don't know the meaning of the word.
The Good
Jackson and Gregg Has a couple of decent moments Not a bad soundtrack Goose!
The Bad
Larson isn't great Law and Lynch are terrible Lead just comes across unlikable.
Overall just a weak entry to the MC.
