Captain Marvel

Physical Product The product is fine and what you'd expect for a blu ray combo package. The Movie I'm a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). My favorite is the first Avengers (2012) movie created with Joss Whedon's help. Others near the top of my list in the MCU are Iron Man, Thor: Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy (1 & 2), and Spider-Man: Homecoming. In dead last for me is Captain America: Winter Soldier, followed closely by Captain America: Civil War. Terrible plots; cheesy ways to get us to special effects bonanzas; no real tribute to the source materials for Civil War; and there was zero tension in Winter Soldier because the threats weren't really threats. It's like the characters were acting tense and concerned, but the stuff the writers put together to be the concern was just not good enough. So, hopefully that gives you an idea of my taste and ways of thinking, to help you understand my review of Captain Marvel. I really like the movie... which is why I gave it 5 out of 5 stars. It was a really good intro story for a character that is spunky and easy to cheer for. So, if all you're curious about is whether it's a good movie, I heartily approve and recommend it. But if you want to know a bit more about how it fits into the MCU... How it fits into the MCU If you consider that Captain Marvel was introduced between "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame", it doesn't make sense. Really, Captain Marvel should have been introduced before both of those movies and she should have been involved in the Infinity War. It's my opinion, but I think I have pretty good reason for it. The character Ronin was involved in trying to retrieve one of the infinity stones for Thanos. Ronin is one of the big bad guys for Captain Marvel. I'm having a hard time believing Captain Marvel was unaware of Thanos as a threat, and that makes it weird that she wasn't even remotely involved in the Infinity War. She didn't try to stop him? She can wipe out fleets of warships in space in a matter of seconds... so really... what else is going on that's as important as the infinity stones? Then Endgame comes along and Nick Fury finally sends the message to Captain Marvel. And THAT'S what gets her interest? She drops everything for a page from Nick Fury, but Thanos is spending time gathering infinity stones with help from her enemies, and Captain Marvel does nothing? Just weird. And then to make matters worse, Captain Marvel barely has any impact on Endgame. She shows up to blow up some more ships and to the take part in the chain of people trying to get the stone back to their original times... but somehow loses to Thanos who has none of the stones this time around. Captain America alone stood up to Thanos while he had 5 of the 6 stones at the end of Infinity War. But somehow Thanos with no stones can handle Captain Marvel. And Captain America with Mjolnir while he has Iron Man and Thor there fighting too. Not only is Captain Marvel's appearance in Endgame pathetic, but the consistency of power of characters so far off that it's off-putting. What that means is that it feels like Captain Marvel was introduced at the wrong time... just sort of stuck into the middle of a big story. And then she was surprisingly under-used. They hurried to introduce her, and then didn't use her. Conclusion Captain Marvel is a really good movie. The way it's woven into the rest of the MCU is surprising and disappointing. But definitely buy this movie if you like the MCU movies.

About a year or so ago I had grown tired of superhero films, so I wasn't too excited to watch this movie. However, my son talked me into it, and I'm glad he did. This has to be one of the better Marvel movies I've seen. The story was well written, well directed, had great cinematography, awesome CG, and the actors all did a great job. There were a few plot twists, which was refreshing, as most superhero stories are very straightforward, so you know who's good and who's bad, but this one had a few surprises. It was interesting to see Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) looking a bit younger, and getting a bit more backstory on Agent Coulson as well as Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel). We watched it first in the theater, and liked it so much that I purchased it on Amazon Prime and watched it again. I'm sure we will watch it over and over, as it was quite entertaining, especially since it didn't have all the blow-em-up action crap which can be quite annoying, and which seems to be what Hollywood thinks we want to see. Instead of a plate full of junk food, this movie had heart, which is a nice change to see in a sci-fi action film.

I don't really need to say a lot about this movie - it's a superhero flick, and for the most part, everyone who goes to a superhero flick knows what they're getting into. I'll just point out a few things that might help you figure out if you'll like this particular superhero flick. 1. It's more like Thor: Ragnarok in tone than say, Captain America. There's a mixture of breezy storytelling and drama, which tends to lean in more toward the breezy end than the drama end. 2. It's an origin story. In fact, I'd argue it's almost 2 origin stories. Way more Nick Fury in this than I thought there'd be going into it. But because it's an origin story, it starts up a little slowly. The latter half picks up and gets more typical for an action movie. 3. It's more like the sci fi superhero stuff than the more fantastical superhero - Marvel's powers are quasi science, there are aliens, etc. The acting is on par with most of the better reviewed superhero movies I've seen, the action is well done, and whatever special effects house Marvel/Disney is hiring to do their "aging down" technique needs to win all the awards. Every single Marvel movie they've done this for looks outstanding in that regard. If you enjoy the lighthearted Marvel movies like Ragnarok or Guardians, you'll probably enjoy this one, too.

Finally, a Marvel feature that ties into the current Infinity War saga where the actor playing the lead role is not a bigger star than the character they're portraying. Granted most of them were lesser-known in their first go-rounds, but it's been 10 years, and pretty much everyone else is a "Big Star" at this point because of it. A more-known actor in this role would have taken away from the character. Brie Larson does a fine job of presenting the character, both in her "insecure/confused/directionless" form and in her "Ok, now I get it" form. The story does seem to move along at a fairly accelerated pace, however, like they're in a hurry to get to the post-credit tie-in to Endgame. Everyone's a bit too accepting of things as they happen; space aliens from space aren't the "freak-out" moment you'd expect (at least after the car crash - after that, Nick takes everything else in stride, like going into outer freaking space for the first time ever). Then again, 15 minutes on the "wait, hold on, I'm shocked and need to process all this" is annoying to watch. It does give one time to hit the lobby, or the restroom, however. There are also a couple of scenes where the CGI could have been a lot better (Vers walking up the steps to the Supreme Intelligence, and the ending where she blasts off into hyperspace seemed poorly posed and hand-animated, rather than mocapped). I did enjoy the "blast from the past" computer technology. Pre-Google search engines, CDs that take 60 seconds or more to load, dial-up modems that dropped connection. Another reviewer lamented the fact that she didn't beat down the bad guys with her bare knuckles, as if that tired, old, cliche` was still valid in the 21st century, but instead used her Phenomenal Cosmic Power to completely dominate her opponent (admittedly at the end of the film). In my personal experience, the only way to defeat an opponent is soundly, and to answer their attacks with 10 times the retribution. It guarantees they won't be in any sort of rush to come at you again. So, I was glad to see a super-powered hero laying it on the bad guy 5 layers deep. What's the point of having Phenomenal Cosmic Power if you're not using it full-blast? Good old fashioned John Wayne saloon brawling is passe`, even in real life, and we've seen enough Kung Fu Fighting (which is apparently the universal language of close-quarters combat). I did have issues with the technical side of things, such as the poorly animated scenes mentioned earlier, as well as the Skrull makeup and prosthesis affecting the actors' speech. It seemed like someone wearing makeup and prosthesis, not an actual alien race. Granted, the big bulky plastic Iron Man suit from the first one 10 years ago was fine when the budgets were low and no one knew it was going to be a hit, but spend more of those billions in profit on making a better movie. Even the Captain Marvel jumpsuit looked like something from an Army Surplus store with a few knick-knacks stuck to it. And don't get me started on how the calendar shows it's June and they're in South Louisiana and no one's sweating their butts off just from breathing. And then there's the fact that Fury's radio kept its signal while passing through a tunnel, but advanced alien comms had trouble in fog. It seems all the money was spent on making Samuel L. Jackson look 30 years younger. But, it's still not a bad movie, it's just technically flawed. The acting and the action are solid, and of course the primary focus of the film. We're not supposed to get emotionally attached to Carol Danvers, because really she's a supporting character to the Avengers. The comic book didn't stand the test of time, what with the various changes over the decades, so don't expect this movie to be "Captain Marvel 1" in expectation of a sequel, or a series. At best, something would happen to introduce Photon, but even then, that'd just be gratuitous and cliche`.

This movie had a lot of negative press about it before it even came out. I went into the movie theater with VERY low expectations. I love the MCU and was excitied for the next chapter! I personally didn't know a lot about the character or the back story, and wanted to go in to the movie that way. I had seen Bri Larson in Room (where she won an Oscar) and was interested to see her in the Marvel universe. I left the theater finally realizing what I had been missing in my childhood. I grew up LOVING superheros and spent my childhood and teen years watching dudes save girls like me on the screens. Sometimes girls would be included as side character (like in the avengers) But WOW! This was AMAZING! Also I've never seen a superhero movie (Male or Female) that didn't have the lead in a romantic love story. She just wanted to do what was right. Also saw the movie 2 times, trying to see what others saw in the "bland and blah" performance that Bri gave. Honestly I feel she really understood the character as "Vers" was brainwashed and confused most of the movie. She also had a very dry sense of humor and banter with Nick Fury similar to Tony stark. It works in the comedy world because you have to have one "straight guy and one comedic guy." I feel people (mostly Marvel Fan boys) were all out of sorts because it wasn't the "norm" girl we see in Comic Book movies and THANK GOD for that! THANK YOU MARVEL on behalf of all the little girls new and old who needed this in their lives! YOU GO BRI LARSON!!! Let's get that A-Force movie on it's FEET!

Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 🆒️ 👌 The cover was perfect in TV,

Brie Larson is terrific in this film. Loved it so much I bought the bluray dvd. It is about finding oneself, bravery and standing up to those who would put you down-very empowering. Of course the character Carol Danvers just digs on that and she then does better and better to become exceptional. It takes a lot of moxy to pilot fighter jets! You will also recognize a lot actors that portrayed the Kree hero warriors from other films. The film centers on one MC hero who is very human. The other MC films center around male leads and it was about time to focus on a female hero which great power who uses it for good. Samuel Jackson's acting just makes it great too. Loved they put Coleson in it too. Yeh! Coleson. I'm a fan of Marvel's Agents of Shield and Coleson's character development over the 5 seasons of the show has been terrific. This just adds to it. Ben Mendelsohn and Jude Law character portrayals were exception as well. Both are very versatile actors. The addition of the cat Goose was interesting and funny. I'm a cat lover and so is my husband. We laughed so hard when Goose showed his true colors. I hope others check this film out. You will be pleasantly surprised!

I bought this because the picture of the item did not show a bilingual cover nor did the title of the item indicate that it was a bilingual copy. I had been looking for a non-bilingual cover for a couple months now. I was pretty disappointed when I opened the package to find that I had bought a bilingual cover after waiting all this time.
