Saw it Friday, loved it. Going again tonight with a friend who wants to see it.
Can't understand the hate it's getting. Brie Larson was great in it as well.
She makes the movie as much as RDJ made Iron Man.

usual feminist claptrap
I despise feminists
you can't shove your political agendas to us, we won't tolerate any shyte like Brie Larson.
how many people do you think it takes to skew online movie ratings?
if you're going to tell me to die at least tell me to jump off a cliff, don't be such a coward about it
I thought it was great. Enjoyed every minute of it. It's not much more than a typical Marvel origins but the 90s stuff is fun and Brie Larson is superb and really enjoyed her scenes with Samuel L Jackson.
Obviously it's too late to be a "landmark" film, but I enjoyed it far more than both Black Panther and Wonder Woman.
Seven out of ten, which is pretty much my average for Marvel.
keep yelling at clouds old man, teenagers aren't on twitter in large numbers, they're on other social platforms, it's predominantly grown ass sexist Americans on twitter, it's very old americans on 4chan and facebook, it's 20 something americans on redditI didn’t tell you to die, you melon.
Think about what you’re saying... I’m not talking about shifting the needle in Rotten Tomatoes, I’m talking about Twitter. The weird scared American olds may be writing stuff about a marvel movie. But it’s the hoards of sub twenty year olds that are galvanising that into click bait. To think otherwise is abject stupidity.
I'm tempted to go tonight, but I'm still not sure. I've seen mixed reviews and there's still several other Marvel films I've not seen. I'm only really interested because of the tie in to Endgame.
Now, I quite liked that he was a little more naive and normal given the age he would have been at the time. I thought he was still shown to be pretty cool: he handled encountering aliens with a bit of a shrug despite the obvious craziness and was clearly a pretty resourceful, intelligent and brave guy.It's worth it for that alone I would say. To be honest I have no issues with Brie Larson or Captain Marvel, the character was fine. I wasn't sure about how they made Nick Fury come across as a buffoon at times and it doesn't jive with the character as we know him.
The Stan Lee cameo was cool, given what he was reading and when the film was set.
My girlfriend saw it today and said it was bang average. She gave it a 5/10. I’m gonna see it on Sunday so I shall return with my thoughts then. Stay tuned for more.
Why are grown adults arguing about movies made for children ?
What gave you reason to assume that? Surely the time to give the character vulnerabilities, charisma and any kind of essence is during an initial origin movie, or at least prior to ascension, which they made no attempt whatsoever to do.@beedoubleyou
Yeah I thought BL was decent and played to the character well. Really interested to see how shes integrated with the Avengers. Assuming we will see more vulnerabilities to her now that her introduction movie is out.

They had ample opportunity to take her on an exploratory journey and opted not to, unless told in retrospect, how can they give a now-god any of that unless she's contesting celestials and other higher powers that dwarf and give cause for humility and reflection?
That all-knowing smugness has no reason to diminish unless they really do ramp up the villains, but how can that happen when she's going to be thrust into a Royal Rumble against Thanos?
For universe so structured and planned, they really do seem to have forcibly inserted this movie, especially so when the character is so definitive.
The movie only succeeding because it's using the "tie in to the End Game" card.
I take on what you're saying about Thanos and the stones, however, as it's a Royal Rumble, single character exposition is likely to be scarce, and even then, reserved for the stars of the franchise or the ones they are absolutely going to kill (a farewell moment).Because she will still be going against Thanos with his stones, who has beaten the shit out of Gods like thor (in the first battle) and destroyed Hulk, with only one stone. (and shes not going against jobber Kree or Skrull.)
Also different director and different setting. Plus 20 or so years as a hero in terms of timeline may do that to her. I very much doubt she just comes in, says 'things will be different cos you now have me' and wham, Thanos defeated with one strike.

Interesting. Source?

Captain marvel is a kickass hero. Her own movie did what it needed to, intro'd her, established her history, her powers and that she has control over it. And is ready to come back to Earth to join up with the rest due to the emergency state.
I think it will be a fun climax and her addition is a welcome one.
The Daily Misogynist.
I'd give it around 6 or 7 out of 10 though I didn't think it was great. Definitely enjoyed it more than Wonder Woman which all in all I thought dragged a bit.
I'd have it as up there with the Captain America: The First Avenger, not great but decent enough and whetted the appetite for End Game.
Seems to be the only explanation of why the bog standard Marvel origin story, which is a cut and paste of what they've done for a decade, is being put under such a microscope.
It's not just here, the Internet does nothing better than suck the joy out of movies by giving every dullard a platform to wrongly frame their nitpicking as actual criticism. Seems odd to start questioning Marvel's approach now.
The only downside to the female focus for me was with the music selection. Favouring female vocalists meant they missed out on a lot of great 90's music though in fairness all the songs they picked worked fine (plus I was delighted to be reminded of that great Des'ree song).
I see, I've been scrutinized here for being misogynistic, but I'm not slightly affected by that. I believe in equality, but in this case it's a obvious to see how the political agendas from Disney is slowly destroying the fun in movies.
In a world when men is fired for old tweets like James Gunn, it's so unfair to see Brie Larson freely commenting and spouting nonsense about men.
Yet people like most of you believe that all the "trolls" or "haters" here are misogynists.
I'm fecking tired of Mary Sue characters that came out of nowhere and CM is obviously the Rey of Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Disney, stop this crap, and to those marvel fans who think that everything Marvel put on the plate is "brilliant", keep on supporting like a mindless sheep. It's all the same shyte when you read in reddit, fandom is just stupid to argue with.
Another thing I found annoying is how stupid some people said this is better than WW. WW has actual story unlike this clusterfeck.
to quote Nick Fury on the stupidest plothole in this movie from captain America:
"The last time I trusted a person, I lost an eye" (oh so tragic)
Nick Fury is a joke now.
do you have similar issues with Thor? he's stupidly powerful too. or is it OK for men to be powerful?

Nope, because Thor earned it. He earned his strength.
Same as others, Ironman, Steve Rodgers, everyone earned their status as the original avengers.
This girl came out of nowhere and suddenly the name "avengers" is not special anymore.
Oh you think Captain America was the first? Nope!
Here comes Mary Sue.
Well let me put this into a perspective. For all the success Marvel has earned, this is actually the first time it got divisive for audiences.
Remember The Last Jedi? Learn from that.

No it's not. You all got pissed off when they made a film about black people too.
