Captain Marvel


Has it already been 8 months since Ant-man and the Wasp? Well, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is back with Captain Marvel, the final movie before Avengers: Endgame.  Vers remembers nothing about her past; she is a Kree operative with amazing powers, fighting against the shape-shifting Skrull.  When events lead her to discover her history, she has a difficult choice to make.  Who can be trusted?

This film got mixed reviews; I see why.  Set largely in 1995, it has some interesting backstory to the MCU . . . but unexplained plot devices, uninspiring dialogue, and a suddenly invincible hero made it fall flat for me.  I most enjoyed the way Marvel can make actors look decades younger . . . that was cool.  Alright, bring on Endgame.

Rating: C+
