Review of Captain Marvel (2019) by Ladruid — 11 Mar 2019

I love the MCU… Unfortunately, this movie has tarnished that….

To me this movie makes no sense, a new (minor) hero appears, made insanely powerful, fights against a weak protagonist, rewriting MCU canon that has been loved by fans for multiple years along the way. All the time showing a broad array of lacklustre CGI, boring forgettable action sequences, and the leading actress is just a wrong cast for a super hero. The main character is a cardboard cut-out of what a hero should be, zero charisma and no idea how to play an MCU superhero. Pity MCU could not get an actress with the charisma and presence of Gal Gadot for their first female lead movie.

What’s most annoying is why must you suddenly change MCU history overnight… why Marvel?

Why would you make Nick Fury appear like some bumbling sidekick? That alone should be a sin, he is a strong leader and was never a follower of anyone... Social politics at play maybe?

Everything aside this is a poor movie by MCU standards, I would put it below Iron Man 2, it really is that bad! Not from a box office $$$ point of view, I am sure it will make a lot of money on the back of the loyal MCU fans. Your problem Marvel is loyalty is quickly lost when you betray your loyal fan base, just hope this lemon of a movie doesn’t do that.
