Captain Marvel - WITH SPOILERS

[Cyrusso]

So I just picked up the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly which had Brie Larson on the cover as the awesome Captain Marvel. I'm sure most of you know this by now but we'll be seeing a lot of familiar faces returning to the MCU when Captain Marvel hits theaters in March.

Yep, it's 1994 all over again.

I'm a little puzzled at all the unwarranted hate this movie is getting. I'm also taking some flack on FB for saying how much I loved this movie. I guess I shouldn't let it get me down too much.

Yeah the men's rights crowd has been targeting the movie and spreading vitriol in an attempt to make it fail and prove that female-led movies always fail. It's not working.

There's such a thing as a men's rights crowd? Truthfully, no desire to see this as I just don't find most Super Hero movies to be at all original or entertaining...Black Panther being the last one I got sucked into seeing due to the hype and I thought it was dumb and the anthitheises of entertertaining... nothing to do with any agenda, just not my thing.

I like how they've been mixing genres.

Social media makes hay slagging female movies, like Ghostbusters a year or so back.

Anyone see it?

non-spoiler review: overall it was a mid-level Marvel movie, which is still good. If you skipped it you wouldn't miss all that much. Save your fifteen bucks unless you're a Marvel completist and you need to see Stan Lee's last cameo and some linking material for the Avenger's saga. Remember two stingers in the credits not just one. Verdict: better than Spiderman: Homecoming and Venom but not as good as Wonder Woman or Avengers.

spoiler review: I thought a lot of the slagging of Brie Larson on the internet was mean and I wanted to see her come through but honestly she's wooden and has no charisma with Samuel Jackson or the audience. She's pretty and looks good in her costume and stuff but she misfired the happy-go-lucky Guardians of the Galaxy-type mood the director was going for. I would have liked to see her utilize all her powers from the get-go instead of at the end. The music was stale. Memo to Hollywood: we are not nostalgic for the 90s. I liked it better than the most recent Spiderman movie. Needs more Annette Bening. 7/10.

I liked it a LOT more than Wonder Woman or Avengers, but less than Spider-man Homecoming.

My take away from that is I should see Venom.

[Edward J Grug III]

Oh, and Brie Larson was excellent and had tremendous chemistry with SLJ. The theatre I was in loved it.

Also, no need for spoilers in this thread. I'll edit the title.

When I saw it again yesterday, the ONLY annoying thing were all the damn little kids talking out loud during most of the damn movie! I'm serious some parents need to learn to shut their kids up. It's one thing if it's during a quiet moment but when people in the movie are talking I get a little pissed.

However, at the end of the movie the kids were cheering which I found to be pretty cool, I mean how did they keep track of the movie with their obvious ADD?

Also if I were you I'd only rent Venom Ed, it was... okay at best.
