Captain Marvel (2019)

Genre: Superhero
Directed by: Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck
Cast: Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn 
Running Time: 123 minutes

 


Carol Danvers must reclaim her past as she becomes Captain Marvel in the midst of a war between two opposed alien civilizations.

Honestly, I did not care much for this film. I almost shut it off within the first few minutes, as it felt like I was watching someone I did not care for play a boring video game. Once the action moved to planet Earth, I got hopeful, but the story and the acting lost me again. It never feels like Brie Larson brings her character to life here. She feels very bland. And the problem might be the material, because even Samuel L. Jackson, who I know well and usually like, felt uninspired here in his performance.

The whole thing ended up going mostly over my head. A few moments made me smile, because of a joke or a tune. But, other than that, this is very blah.
