    Marvel fans will watch it regardless. Those who are casual viewers, you should not avoid good entertainer. You can definitely avoid IMAX and save a few pennies.

    Yes, the plot sets out to establish Carol Danvers as a bonafide bad-ass and thoroughly succeeds in the end. It's about time Captain Marvel showed up, and the Avengers are a much stronger team with Danvers on their side. This also succeeds in getting you even more excited for 'Avengers: Endgame' (as if that was needed). By now, MCU fans know the drill: stick around for the end credits, and you will not be disappointed. Unfortunately, the route it takes encounters some speed bumps, courtesy of the usual superhero origin issues that have troubled the genre.

    this movie is totally unequals to marvels or comic type. which gives the mood of sci-fiction. so this would be unfair to be a marvel movie.

    As an attempt to create an amazing, tempting and beautiful superhero and give her some real action and real tasks to live upto, 'Captain Marvel' is a success. The film really excites me as what fireworks will happen when Captain Marvel shall join Avengers to avenge the fallen in 'Endgame'. And that's certainly because of Brie Larson's very magical performance. She sucks life into the character, making her fierce light count. The special effects also give her wings. But unfortunately, the writing of the film isn't sharp and feminist enough. Not half as much as the character herself. The film drags considerably in the first half, and the second half juat builds upon, 'damage-repairing'. It's intent is slowed down. Let's face it Shazam, who is the male, 'Captain Marvel' from DC, is far more genuine fun than her. But you can watch 'Captain Marvel' because despite its shortcomings, its a little bit fun also. I am going with two-and-a-half for 'Captain Marvel'. Feminist enough, but so very weak!
