My reason for it being my last favorite is really due to anticipation of the character. I have never really been into comic books so I knew the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America etc. I literally knew nothing about Captain Marvel. And I loved the cat scenes. Should that have been in a spoiler box?
now if only she smiled more
her uniform was nicely form fitting
Good movie. Not anywhere near Winter Soldier, but not as terrible as the Hulks or as bad as IM3. It's squarely in the middle, well above Dark World, IMO. I agree with SBTB about the lack of an edge. Brie was far too giddy about everything to be believable as a former USAF test pilot. Young, digitally enhanced Fury and Coulson bugged me. I did enjoy discovering how Fury lost his eye. I liked how they brought in the tesseract as the source of power and tells the story of how Fury ended up with it. Ben Mendelsohn was great as always and I enjoy having my expectations and allegiances turned in the whole Kree/Skrull dynamic.
I also like how things are left open for more Rona, Yon Rogg, Secret Invasion, etc.
The third act was great and Im looking forward to seeing her strut in Endgame. Nice mid-credit trailer to remind us about where we left the Avengers after Infinity War and something silly at the end. Lots of obvious easter eggs in this one. It's not just an origin story for Captain Marvel. It lays out a lot of the current MCU's details and origins that I felt was neat.
A little disappointed we didn't get another Endgame trailer since it's so close now. Not sure why I care about Frozen, much less Frozen 2 that got a trailer at this film. I was pretty happy with the little tribute to Stan Lee at the opening title sequence. Just don't be late for the start of the film if you want to see it.
I was walking out of the movie behind some kids who had no idea why the "cat" was named Goose. I turned to my buddy and just shook my head.I'd never been to a comic book film on opening night before. It was nice to be in a crowd that understood all of the references.
I've heard from two right-leaning friends that they're not seeing Captain Marvel and are instead going to see Alita today. So I looked around and there really is some sort of protest for people offended by Brie Larson to see Alita instead. What a strange battle line to draw up.
So I was drinking during the movie and I didn't notice this. The tesseract apparently powers the lightspeed engine but it had the same color as the stuff that goes into her. I bring this up because I've read that she gets her powers from the tesseract but to me the lightspeed engine is different even though it was powered by it. Am I crazy? Can anyone see my point?
