If you're a Marvel fan, chances are you've heard of the whole troll negative reviewing drama that's been surrounding Captain Marvel. But having just seen it, I'm here to strongly suggest you to ignore their hate and decide for yourself if it's great or not. Most of those trolls haven't even seen it, and those who have lied. I personally think that movie is one of the best I've seen in the MCU so far, so I decided to compile a list of reasons why. - The visual effects are incredible. We know from the trailers that Carol has glowy powers, but wow did Marvel make glowyness look good. Also the alien cities/planets, the amazing "cat" and all it can do, and of course the flawless de-aging of Nick Fury and Phil Coulson.
- The entire theme of the movie and the 90s feel of Earth was great. I also liked the Guardians of the Galaxy references and style similarity (great soundtrack from appropriate time period, the little coordinate and planet names at the bottom of the screen when at a new setting, etc.)
- The film score is super inspiring
- Once again, Marvel nails humor! Many laughs in the theater!
- A refreshing break from all the gloom and doom of Infinity War and Endgame, where you can sit back and enjoy your time without agonizing yourself to death if Thanos even breathes in the direction of your favorite characters.
- It was also nice to have something fresh and different than the ordinary origin story we usually get.
And of course we have to mention the characters. - To those thinking Carol might be a Mary Sue, think again. She is incredibly powerful, yes, but there are things that stand in the way of these powers and keep her from smushing the bad guys and ending the movie in a second. No, not kryptonite. Her actual character flaws, which she definitely has, like we all do. Her quickness to jump into action and ignore orders, even let her emotions influence her too much, and also sometimes humor, these can all get in her way. Maybe even stop her from defeating Thanos soon. Remember what happened with Peter Quill?
- And did I mention that I love Carol anyway despite/because of this?
- Nick Fury is the bomb, as always. We even learn more about his past in this movie besides what he was doing in 1995. Always good to have more Marvel lore. And more Fury. Honestly, look at how much he's changed and developed over the years, it's crazy. Not only the main character has an arc, friends.
- Talos. Oh my gosh. I love him. Give him the recognition he deserves because he's amazing and great. But to explain more would be spoilery, so... if you've seen the movie, awesome, if not, only proceed knowing you will be spoiled. Which is no fun.
First off, he's a great dad. (E.g. "Cover her eyes" </3) Despite all the complicated theories out there guessing which Avengers might be Skrulls, I knew he wasn't really evil the whole time. But when you show that his actual motivation is to save his family and persecuted people just changes everything. Second, tbh, he didn't actually seem evil before the reveal at all. Of course, there are Skrull vs Carol and Kree and S.H.I.E.L.D. fight scenes, but just because they're fighting doesn't make them evil. You need to know the motivations. And the motivations are perfect. Also, he's funny and his reactions are gold and hopefully he'll get a tiny cameo in Endgame to say he's doing fine? Too much to hope for? Maybe. I'll just rewatch Captain Marvel 14 million times. - Also, can't forget Maria and Monica Rambeau. Who are gems. Monica is totally ready to become the next Captain Marvel one day and Maria and Carol are goals. Carol herself is also goals. And I'm glad for all the little girls out there who can look up to Carol as goals that they too can become superheros in their own way despite what anyone else says. <3 You go, sisters.
And a couple more real spoilery things to be cautious of and basically just for those who already saw it:- Can we please appreciate the fact that Carol literally picked up the Tesseract, an Infinity Stone, with her bare fingers, like it was just a fancy little glowy cube, big deal, and stuck it inside a lunchbox for later?
- And also near the end where Carol blows up all Ronan's ships and flies up to the windshield of his mothership and makes an explosive glowy fist smack at him and he's like "Nope, let's get the heck outta here." RONAN. Who planned on killing Thanos with the Power Stone later. And then he says, "But we'll come back for the weapon." And another general asks, "The [Tesseract]?" And he flat out replies, "No... the woman." This woman rivals an Infinity Stone and Ronan knows it! That was just awesome to hear.
- I am SO GLAD they added in the whole Goose being a flerken plot point! And they did it perfectly, no joke! I don't blame Talos for getting the heebie-jeebies about a furball who can swallow an Infinity Stone and spit out giant tentacles and accidentally ruin eyes.
If you decided that was way too long to read and skipped over it all, I don't blame you. So, in summary, I have one thing to say to Thanos:

Thank you for saying it! I saw it yesterday and it was AWESOME. The only complains I have are how rushed it was and how vague the whole memory thing was (did she remember all of her past or not? why didnt they show us this to make it clear and not confusing?).
My complaints are actually kinda minor compared to whole scope of the movie.
i just hate all the sexist pigs who complain about this movie and claim they dont want to see it. well, how can they see endgame if they dont see captain marvel? u cant! u NEED to see captain marvel so you can get endgame! it's ridiculous how many sexist pigs hate on captain marvel just because she's female and bada$$. just because her in universe powers are huge, doesnt mean she's actually OP.

Honestly Im turned off from watching it because she comes off as Marvel Jesus :/ True, she kind of does if there's nothing keeping her from using her powers to end the fight and smush the bad guys in two seconds like Superman in Justice League but one of the points I made here is that there is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Besides, even if she was OP, I don't think Marvel would give up the ten years of hard work and development they put into their other characters just to let her miraculously solve everything and make Infinity War and Endgame pointless.

I really enjoyed the movie much more than I thought I would, but I don't know if I'd personally say it was amazing. I really did like it, don't get me wrong, but it's one of those movies I don't know if I will end up rewatching too much. Rewatch value on marvel movies is a big thing for me. It was really good, but it's still probably lower in the ranks of my favorite movies. I don't think there was really anything wrong with it that makes me feel this way, I just think I like a lot of the other movies better. I think I enjoyed Fury and Coulson and learning the backstory of the Avengers more than anything else in the movie. Carol wasn't the most interesting character to me either, but I think it's more preference than anything for me. I still definitely recommend seeing the movie if you like Marvel movies.

nah i think i’m gonna give my business to Battle Angel Alita because the main actress there isn’t an obnoxious person + the producers haven’t blatantly spent millions doing damage control + shilling on movie review sites lol

Trolls will be trolls, I guess.
I love the movie. I was a little nervous going into it with my mother intially, because she's really critical of movies especially if they're heavily steeped in politics... But she adored it. She really likes Carol's character, and says you can tell they put a lot of thought into the movie. Which I agree with. You can tell the writers and directors and producers did their best to make her story interesting. Because that what it is, in the end; HER story. A good story. Its not pushy. It doesn't force you to like her, it tells a story, and along the way, you start to root for her. It isn't just Captain Marvel's powers its Carol Danvers' story.
I went in a little, regrettably, skeptical, and came out a Captain Marvel stan. It is a really, really good movie, and anybody who's petty enough to not even give it a chance just because of media and the cast probably should take a closer look at the history of lots of other superhero movies.

It was okay. There are better Marvel movies and I liked how this played out compared to how I thought it did. The "twists" were predictable. Then again, Captain Marvel isn't as well known as other heroes, so it may be my lack of knowledge regarding her character overall. (I'm not the BIGGEST fan of Avengers in general.)

People love female super heroes. For example, Wonder Woman was amazing, hands down. Did she get bombed on Rotten Tomatoes? Frick no! It's the fact that Brie Larson was interviewed and she rambled about there being "too many white men" in the comic industry and it should be more about diversity. THAT'S what got many people pissed off including myself. Comics should be for everyone, no matter who you are. She's racist. Simple as that. You don't get to choose who you are born as, and you must be proud of who you are. That's why I cannot stand to watch this movie, and I will proudly miss it. I was thinking about not watching Endgame either because she's the star of the show, but my love for Marvel in it's entirety is too strong, so I'm willing to ignore her while I watch it.

Not to be rude, but did you at least look up what she actually meant in that interview? I think a lot of people interpreted it the wrong way, so it would be nice to clarify and make sure. Plus, think of all the people who have been fired and/or gotten in trouble recently for racist and other offensive things they've said. Even if it was years ago. Like James Gunn. If she was really being racist, she would probably have been fired too. Disney doesn't seem to care about how many more movies the culprit was planning to make/be in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Imma be honest and say that I wasn't talking about the actor. Just the crazies on Tumblr and Twitter! So I don't know why you jumped on my comment as a chance to hate on her. Now, being a racist is bad, but I would prefer you didn't interpret my comment in a way that suggests I believe comics are not for everyone.

All I’m saying is that’s the reason so many ppl are pissed and me. Also, a lot of people are racist on all sorts of media they don’t get fired for it just because it goes against white people and not the other way around That’s what I gathered from her interview. I watched the whole thing and as you can see from what’s happened to the movie reviews, many others agree with me,

I think people should be given the chance to form their own opinion on Captain Marvel after seeing it, instead of being scared away from seeing it by false criticism. Most of those trolls haven't seen the movie themselves, and the review bombing started before the movie even came out, and their statements about it have no basis in truth unless they have actually seen it. Then it becomes an opinion, not a lie. And everyone is entitled to an opinion. I just made this thread to say that I thought the movie was actually good, and the quality of the movie has nothing to do with whatever Brie Larson said outside of it. So, be mad at Brie Larson all you want, but please not here, when the thread topic is Captain Marvel.

I loved it!! I'm dying at the fact Goose was what caused Nick Fury to need an eye patch. I saw someone make a joke that it'd be the cat in YouTube comments but I didn't think they'd really do that. 😂 There were a few parts her acting was a little awkward but otherwise I enjoyed it and her character. A lot, way more than I thought i would. I can't wait to see her beat the shit out of Thanos Also the after credits scene has me so HYPE
And of course young Dumbledore was awesome even if he is the villain.

I had a feeling from the beginning of the film that Goose was the one who took Nick Fury’s eye out, and it was proven correct. The film was good. I’m glad that I saw it despite a lot of people making videos on YouTube trying to convince people not to see it just because of Brie Larson’s distasteful comment in an interview she did about the films target audience. One thing I had noticed was that Carol’s character felt flat, but everybody else around her was funny, likable, and given a decent amount of screen time and well deserved character development. I hope in Endgame they develop her into a well realized character, and let everyone involved in beating Thanos get some hits in before she destroys him. It would be disappointing in my eyes if they let Carol kill Thanos single handily rather than letting the Avengers get the final blow, because they deserve the spotlight.

i haven't seen this but i just want to say
even ignoring whether or not what brie Larson said was okay (I personally think it was a badly worded comment that people overreacted to, but that does happen a lot nowadays with famous people) an actor in a movie saying a dumb thing in an interview doesn't mean the film deserves to get bad review bombed by people who haven't seen it. movies are a collaborative effort and the bad/dumb actions of one part doesn't make the whole thing an abomination that nobody should see.
oh and this is unrelated, but im not really sure whats up with all the rotten tomatoes trolling captain marvel haters praising alita battle angel to high heavens? not that I've seen it but it doesn't really seem to have anything sympathetic to their politics in it at all? it just looks like a typical sci fi action anime with a Cute Cyborg Girl Who's Also Really Tough lead

i thought cap marvel was decent, the beginning quarter of the movie was really boring, but then it got super fun! i like brie larson as an actress, but her performance as cap marvel was kinda scatterbrained, like they didn't know what personality she wanted to have. i hope this gets fixed in endgame :-D
