Captin marvel review movie#

From Blockbuster Video to NIN tee-shirts to the surrounding cars in the chase scene to the sweet soundtrack, Captain Marvel makes damn sure that you know it’s the 90’s. The nostalgia factor is also heavy-handed here, but you can’t fault them for it. He gets to do so much more than just be a badass, and it is fantastic to behold. You could say this is Marvel’s unofficial Samuel L. Their scenes are so much fun to watch and will make you fall in love a little more with both of them. Jackson, there is some truly wonderful chemistry between he and Brie Larson. The de-aging effect on he and Gregg to make them look younger is so good that you don’t even notice it. MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON!! He could read the phonebook and be captivating.

Clark Gregg is always a fan favorite as Agent Coulson, and Samuel L. Ben Mendelsohn steals every scene he’s in as Skrull leader, Talos, with charm and ease. (sorry, Ed Norton), Marvel has been on point in their casting of the big names Larson is another home run. Aside from some very early missteps in the M.C.U. Brie Larson is just damn perfect as Carol Danvers- she’s funny, powerful, believably human, gorgeous, and vulnerable in equal measure. Hmmm……Īll that aside, it’s another stellar piece of work from Marvel Studios. It’s as if the point being made is “if you have a problem with this then maybe you need to question yourself”. Captain Marvel’s big fight scene (set to No Doubt’s “Just a Girl”) is a thing of beauty, and the lessons on display are morally grounded. There’s social commentary on more than just feminism at play ( there’s a refugee subplot and a Supreme Intelligence crying “that’s just the human in you!” as if human is a dirty word). Captain Marvel is no exception it’s a little heavy-handed even…and that works well for it. Refreshing is the right word, because the perspective of the narrative has changed. I’ll avoid getting off on a rant here, but there’s been such a flood of amazing work across ALL genres by women in the last few years.

The story of Carol Danvers is one of self-discovery and empowerment, a relevant and refreshing stylistic choice for the first movie of its kind written primarily by women and featuring a solo female lead. The lack of a “big baddie” changes the formulaic feel that even the best superhero movies fall prey to (or, at the very least, that people bitch incessantly about). Origin stories are a necessity in the world of superhero/comic cinema, and Captain Marvel does it right. Jackson Avengers: Infinity War) and strikes up a very important friendship that just may save us all. She also meets a younger Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. However, when she continues the fight with the Skrull, she finds that her dreams are actually memories and the war isn’t what it seems. When things go wrong on her mission, she finds herself on Earth in the 1990’s. She possesses power that she hasn’t yet learned to control, a power that is nearly beyond measure. She’s plagued by dreams of a life she doesn’t remember as an Air Force pilot. Vers), a Kree warrior-hero on a mission to stop the shape-shifting Skrull from invading another planet. Oscar-winner Brie Larson ( Room, Kong: Skull Island) is Carol Danvers (a.k.a. finally embraces the power of women (after being chopped literally in half by some megalomaniacal dude with a big chin). With a release date that just so happens to be International Women’s Day, it seems only fitting that the M.C.U. The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to steamroll its way through practically every other genre of entertainment out there.
