Juding by the impressions I may just watch it on Netflix or whatever Disney streaming service is later on. Seems like you already know what the movie is before you watch it, like most marvel origin movies. Unless my friends drag me to see it.

I'm trying to be fair here.
But that legitimately makes it sound like the writer didn't realize it took place in the past.
Can't wait for opening night, this sounds like exactly what I want right now -
Right, they've hidden it like that. Ok. It's strange that you can't even see it on mobile site.
i read it as captain marvel feels "out of place" due to being a table-setting prequel movie that is coming out before Endgame.
What? There's more movies made in the tone of the MCU than otherwise. This isn't some lone light in the night sky.
It's definitely valuable for more "shallow" genres - which I don't necessarily mean as a perjorative. Horror movies, superhero movies, animated films. When you're hitting up the movies and don't know much going in, you can give a quick yea/nay.
But for trusted brands I don't see much value. Like, it's a Marvel movie - are they really gonna fuck it up that bad? Of course it's gonna be worth two hours of your time. I'm gonna watch them all at some point - question is whether I need to be there opening weekend or I should wait until I can rent it.
you'll have to take that up with the reviewer, i'm just here for "levity, gravity and spectacle. "
Yea I know, just the wording for that segment threw me off. Superhero films haven't largely been dour since the MCU took off.
Sounds like it's got a bad case of Marvel Origin Story Syndrome. A competent movie doing a lot of set up for future movies and not much else.
It's always wonky early on.
Currently 86% fresh, 7.2/10 average, 30 fresh 5 rotten
Very mixed as you can see.
Ouch. Just watched Jeremy Jahns' review - I consider him to be pretty lenient in his reviews but he didn't think much of this movie.
I'll still go watch it - it's a Marvel movie and there's nothing else to pick this weekend.
A bit worried about his points regarding Gal Gadot being more charismatic and Captain Marvel pushing hard on the feminist angle but WW did it better. And that's one of the things I liked a lot about WW - it was subtle but effective on that point.
Oh well.

Me too but if I wanna go see it in IMAX, I have no choice but to see it in 3D.
30 to 5 is mixed?
I'm more worried about the inevitable "With this movie, Disney™ and Marvel™ invented Feminism, unlike the previously inadequate alternatives".
Then the movie turns out to be fun schlock like the rest of the franchise, and actual feminism gets dragged in the mud as a bonus.
The Kree Skrull wars are so 1990s. Everything is good now. Look at how much Earthings love blue people (see Avatar's box office). Only a Skrull would be suspicious of an average kree on a message board.
The 5 negatives actually count for 6x extra because they are not written by paid shills with a leftist agenda /s
Yeah it's very frustrating how every movie starring a woman now turns into a referendum on feminist film and liking it or disliking it becomes a political position online. I don't think the discourse around this movie will be Star Wars-level toxic, but I'm not looking forward to that.
But they were written by epic gamers.

Seriously speaking, I honestly don't expect much from this movie. It looks OKAY. Never really had me dying to go see it like some of the other Marvel movies.
Yes. Lol. Drink some coffee. Or a tea, earl grey, hot.
Probably a bit reductive to correlate RT scores and quality, especially for comparing movies
Then again maybe CM ends up being similar to Black Panther in that's it's fun schlock but it also has some actual gravitas and a strong significance for a certain community. But I do feel we live in an age of strong female heroines and I don't generally appreciate when people throw them all under the bus to prop up the next movie. We can't keep doing this every time a Frozen or Force Awakens or Alita or Captain Marvel comes out: at some point we need to acknowledge that strong female characters are a thing and a fact and let them soar or fall for their value just like we do with the male ones.
I think Alita does this very well because it doesn't spend a single second questioning the character because "she's just a girl, but she can kick ass!" or to prove girls can be strong too. The character is just there, the movie focuses on her story and personality, and the viewer is never invited to consider the character's gender as something she has to overcome or thinking of her as having something to prove. The movie doesn't inject any toxic idea in the viewer, even if it would later disprove it.
Do not read
PS: Do NOT read the comments under the Youtube reviews. People are huge fucking assholes and they hate everything that has connections to feminism.
I LOVE DR.Strange. I think it's one of the best MCU movies. So, being around the DR. Strange level in quality sounds awesome.

Aye!
Also, is it me or do female reviewers seem to enjoy the movie more than male ones generally?
I take everything he says about DC and Marvel with a grain of salt cause he is a huge DC fanboy and has loved all the DCEU movies.
I really wish they didn't introduce Carol with an amnesia arc. If they introduced her more fully formed the reviews wouldn't be all over the place re: calling her bland.
Still not sure if i'll go, trailers did nothing for me
But Brie Larson is really great and i'm curious to see her performance

A female superhero movie made for females appealing to females more than males.
My mind is still boggled that Infinity War is only at 85%.
Let's not act like there aren't white men in the movie press that were pissed off at Brie Larson's inclusion comments.

Nah it kind of makes sense, movie has a lot of baggage to carry and newbies won't fully appreciate it.
7.1/10 average score is a bit of a shame. Still good by comic book standards but on the lower end of MCU scores.
