I thought it was ok. Better than some of the other marvel movies.Been reading the reviews and it is getting crushed. Cookie cutter version of a superhero movie, etc.
It has more to do with what Brie Larson said about her other movies... me? Meh.I thought it was ok. Better than some of the other marvel movies.
I figure it will continue getting crushed because some people really hate a “woman power” movie, even though this really has nothing to do with that.
Didn’t know about the Shazam thing but someone else told me Larson said something. Have no idea and don’t care. Maybe that allowed me to watch the movie and even enjoy it.It has more to do with what Brie Larson said about her other movies... me? Meh.
Also some that are hating on it because... wait for it... the name.
The original Captain Marvel is Shazam. In the 40s. He was named that originally before he was a DC character. When his Comic company was purchased by DC, he was always marketed as Shazam due to Marvel owning the rights to the name Captain Marvel.
Confusing... but "fans" take offense to this and still refuse to accept it. So, some were literally bombing the review ratings on Rotten Tomatoes due to those 2 things - without ever seeing the movie. Shocking, I know.
Even Zachary Levi has gone on record telling "fans" to chill out. Zachary Levi is in the Shazam movie.
So, those are the two big reasons for the craziness involved with Captain Marvel.
Phew!
We're going to see it next weekend!
I'm hopeful Marvel can do for her what they did for Strange... his movie was fine. Amazing visually. But story and character were ok. His appearances in Ragnarok and Infinity War were great, though!Just got back from Captain Marvel. It was very, very, just okay. I enjoyed it well enough. But not up to Marvel's usual standards imho. It is definitely a lower-tier MCU film.
I don't think I buy into that. If it was a good movie with a woman lead, it would be a good movie like Wonder Woman. Of course Wonder Woman didn't try to politicize, it was a movie with a woman super hero and people liked it. The movies that have been creamed, like Ghostbuster, were not only bad, terribly bad movies, but movies also trying to make political statements.I thought it was ok. Better than some of the other marvel movies.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. I had every intention of taking my grandson Friday night but he had very little interest at all. Now I am glad I saved my money.I've heard enough. I think Cpt. Marvel will be a wait till rental movie for me.
Speaking of Shazam, just saw the trailer for the first time before Captain Marvel..... wow, I was super unimpressed. DC still just can't get it right for whatever reason.Even Zachary Levi has gone on record telling "fans" to chill out. Zachary Levi is in the Shazam movie.

I agree, the only DC movie I've liked so far is Man of Steel. The rest have been the epitome of meh.Speaking of Shazam, just saw the trailer for the first time before Captain Marvel..... wow, I was super unimpressed. DC still just can't get it right for whatever reason.

I agree for the most part (aside from some particulars in your rankings). Although I kinda feel like Captain Marvel could end up going in that "just ehhh" tier once the newness wears off and it's revisited. I personally enjoyed Thor 1, Iron Man 1, and Doctor Strange more than Captain Marvel.It was your standard Marvel movie. Popcorn action movie.
There appear to be different genres and tiers of Marvel movies at this point.
You have god tier Marvel films like Winter Soldier, Infinity War, Black Panther.
You have the very good tier like Guardians, Homecoming, Avengers, Civil War
You have the straight comedy tier like Ragnarok, Antman movies.
You have the just good movie tier like Thor, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, etc. Captain Marvel is here. It is probably one where the the sequel will be better than the first. Origin movies are boring.
There's also just ehhhh Marvel movies. Thor 2, Iron Man 3, Hulk.
As a dad with two daughters I fully support the Captain Marvel though. They shall have Cap Marvel swag onesies.
Exactly why I watch every film Nolan has a had in.Man of Steel was so we'll done and then they just killed it.
The first Man of Steel trailer is still imo some of the best comic book material ever put to film. Sadly the movie didn't carry that tone the entire time but was still good.
Christopher Nolan did produce the movie. You can feel his finger prints on it. It is probably why it is so underrated as a comic movie.
A stunning trailer though.
