jj@LA: I would not pay to see it. I did see it for free already…so at least, I was not cheated of my money ["I laughed, I cried, I kissed $10 good-bye!"–most other movies]. I saw sneak preview a few months back and it was the full-length feature but it was missing music in the end credit section and may…

kidchaos313: Went in not paying attention to any of the drama surrounding the movie. The movie was just like the trailers, boring. Terrible fight choreography and all in acting by Brie. Cinematography was so bad, way too many cuts. Samuel L Jackson and Goose were brilliant and Mendelsohn was incredible as Talos….

Manuel São Bento: If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog 🙂

As a fair and impartial film critic, I need to state this: I don't care about the controversy surrounding Brie Larson or the agendas this movie is trying to push or not. I'm not part of any hate group or factions that hate tho…

OdinsMovieBlog: Captain Marvel is a hot mess narratively and never really knows what kind of movie it wants to be. Brie Larson is constantly fighting direction and poor writing and losing the battle in the end. The last thing the MCU needs right now is a Mary Sue with no life. The one thing this movie misses more t…

TheBigOne: I wasn't going to see this movie at all based on the stupid comments made by Brie Larson but I tagged along with some friends anyway. Let me just say it was a massive mistake. I underestimated how difficult it would be to stand looking at the lead actress misogynistic and talentless face for two hou…

tmdb44006625: Captain Marvel bored the living hell out of me. I'm tired of these special effects laden "event films" where every scene has to be flashy lights and fighting and explosions where nothing of real value is at stake. Not one character in this film has a personality or character arc. It's one big extend…

fatso29: okay i wanted to see this despite the 'contravercy sexist pig like men have turned this into'so i went to my local theater picked a showtime and picked out some snacks the movie was decent not good not bad just the right amount of each to make it watchable for folks the action had a nice pace and th…

kishan.verma26: I never watched a movie 2 time but captain marvel is one and only movie that i watched 2 time in my life.Amazing movie.

Myles: It has good visuals, good action, and some decent humour. This movie does what it needs to do by introducing Captain Marvel, although I was hoping Marvel would do something different and unique from their other origin story.

E.J. Cummings: Look, as an actor, it is your duty to make sure that you promote your brand to the best of your ability, it's JUST as important as the work that you do shooting the film. I don't care about the political side of the events that transpired before the release of this movie, but I hope that Hollywood l…

ikomrad: * I liked the CGI special effects and a few of the plot twists they threw in keep it from being too predictable. Cons: Completely neglecting the source material, appropriating the existing character and twisting them to send a message. Capt Marvell was a male super hero and they should have ran wit…

heartsdales: Not too bad if you didn't set high expectation.
Overall is ok.
Action is nice.

JPV852: It was alright. Some entertaining scenes and the de-aging they did on Samuel L. Jackson was fantastic. Still not sure about Brie Larson in the lead but at least showed far more personality than her blank stares in Endgame. The visual effects also was fairly good, especially on Earth (vs. on Hala or …

r96sk: Very good, it's entertaining.

I like the story that entails <em>'Captain Marvel'</em>. It's possibly not told in the most incredible way, but by the end I did enjoy how it unfolded and connected to what we've seen recently in the MCU.

Brie Larson is pleasant in the lead role, a tad wooden in p…

GenerationofSwine: Well….

….We have seen this before. The word "rehashing" has been thrown around a lot in some reviews, but really it's like a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy on a cheap circa early 80 copy machine. You've seen it before when it was a lot better.

The good news, I suppose, is that the trai…

Andre Gonzales: Ok movie where she fights aliens and humans. They could have made more sense of the story. Captain Marvel was a man back then not a woman too.

ARGMAN: Help, woke lobbyists took-over Marvel

RalphRahal: Captain Marvel (2019) was an interesting watch, but it didn't fully hit the mark for me. The plot felt like it was trying to do too much at once, juggling an origin story, cosmic warfare, and humor without giving enough time to really develop Carol Danvers as a character. Instead of making me care a…
