March 9, 20196 yr I’ve seen it twice now and it’s just brilliant. The story is (although the first 30 minutes are a bit slow) really well put together. There’s really strong twists and turns in the narratives that you don’t expect. And I like that while it’s funny, it’s never too over-reliant on humour as some of them.

I thought the narrative was pretty predictable and I've only seen about 9 Marvel films! But overall I really enjoyed this. Was a nice introduction and added some depth to Captain Marvel and Nick Fury. The cat is the star of the show! I wonder how they will make Captain Marvel not as powerful in the Marvel world.

Yes, the Skrulls are historically evil and all the marketing had them out as such a huge theat, so the switch up was actually quite surprising shift and it worked really well, because they weren’t very interesting as villains, but made better protagonists.
March 10, 20196 yr God this was so good. Brie exceeded my expectations. Which is a weird thing to say about an Oscar winner, but I was slightly concerned she was going to be a bit cold and lacking personality. I absolutely loved her though. Everything was done so well, from the de-ageing effects on Fury and Coulson, to Goose, to Carol's powers. It was visually stunning. From the moment her suit changes to red and blue, it was balls to the wall epic. And I said this in the Endgame thread last week, but I suspected that Thanos would find a way to weaken her on their first meeting (maybe using the Power stone or something) and that absolutely MUST be true. Otherwise, she need only breathe on him and he's toast. She was an absolute powerhouse by the end of the movie - just imagine what she can do now, 20 years later. And oh good god almighty, that first mid-credits scene....I squealed.
March 10, 20196 yr oh shit, were there TWO post-credits scenes? I left after the first one :'( The middle one is the better one. The one right at the end is more a cute/comedy one. You’ll be able to catch it on YouTube soon.
March 10, 20196 yr I’m so proud of this movie. All my life I’ve wanted to see a female superhero that got it 100% right. Wonder Woman was a good start but it’s villain and romance bogged it down a lot, despite Diana being amazing. This has overcome a massive backlash from online trolls and is having a huge success and it makes me so happy to see most people are enjoying it, like Black Panther, it’s such an important movie for Marvel.
March 10, 20196 yr this was... ok. It was a lot of fun, but it just lacked any freshness whatsoever, it was just really basic and just whatever. But tbf at least that works, and it was a fun time but it just felt a little too safe. I'm not sold on Brie Larson yet either, something about her just comes off as so like wooden to me idk. I'm glad this has overcome all the unwarranted backlash though, and it has raised my hype for Endgame at least, but hopefully phase 4 they can start to move on from this marvel formula a little bit. Goose was incredible tho

This! I've been rather sick of Bat-/Super-/Spidermen being shoved down our throat so much with every available opportunity and reboot starring a younger actor for quite a while now. She's such a great superhero and I HOPE TO JESUS they don't put her in some ridiculous heterosexual romance or whatever OLD WHITE HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER BULLSHIT.
March 10, 20196 yr ^ Yes, the fact that she had 0 romantic storyline was so refreshing for the genre.
March 11, 20196 yr My MCU ranking Avengers: Infinity War Captain America: Winter Soldier Black Panther Captain America: Civil War The Avengers *Captain Marvel* Spider-Man Homecoming Thor: Ragnarok Guardians of the Galaxy Ant-Man Avengers: Age of Ultron Ant Man & The Wasp Thor Iron Man 3 Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2 Iron Man Captain America: The First Avenger Thor: A Dark World Doctor Strange Incredible Hulk Iron Man 2 Everything from Ant Man up are films I LOVE. And I like all of them other than the bottom 3 here.
March 11, 20196 yr I largely agree with that list, but I'd move Ragnarok right up to the top 3. I friggin LOVE that movie. I'd watch it again before Black Panther (which is still amazing). I will be devastated if Endgame doesn't go straight to the top though. I have faith though. Edited March 11, 20196 yr by PaulM1983
March 11, 20196 yr 2nd biggest MCU WW opening weekend. 6th biggest WW opening of all time! MASSIVE. Reports of this are gaining traction and word of mouth seems to be strong. Hopefully it has staying power. I imagine it should as there is no direct opposition for it atm.

Hopefully it has staying power. I imagine it should as there is no direct opposition for it atm. I can't imagine it has massive staying power, certainly not in the vein of Black Panther. Some really savvy marketing though and like Black Panther, I think this benefits from being the first Marvel female superhero movie and also the fact the hype is ready for Endgame.

They’ll probably drop the trailer for Endgame as soon as it dips heavily featuring Carol for a second wind.
March 11, 20196 yr I really loved this like I have done with every MCU movie. I think the film really stepped up a gear as soon as they arrived on Earth; the section before that was a little dull. While most of it was good, I don't feel like Brie Larson has fully settled into the character; some of her lines felt a bit awkward but I feel like that was more to do with sloppy writing than anything she did because she is great and I really feel like she is going to grow into character fully in future films.
March 11, 20196 yr As much as I loved the Captain Marvel character I have to agree with the above a bit. There was just something missing for me. But perhaps this makes sense because that was her origin story and by Endgame everything will fall into place. I loved the moment they showed Stan. The whole room shouted :')
March 12, 20196 yr Stan's cameo was so sweet, especially that little knowing smile she gives him. And I loved the tribute in the opening Marvel logo into.
