This movie was generic as hell. I also haven't seen shaky cam, edit-Happy action camera work like that since Eagle Eye.
The more recent Marvel phases - which aren't masterpieces by any stretch, have for a while now been a good deal better than this forgettable fluff. This was Dark World generic.

90% of the people pliked the movie.
That's great to know that people generally like it (easy to recommend).
Not at all. If 90% of critics enjoyed it, there's a good chance you will. It doesn't mean it's the best of all time, but it is worth a watch.
Predator is 80% with a wildly different group of critics for the most part.
Strange average rating is also like a 7.2, which is you know... fine.
Nah but fragile white men with poor critical thinking skills are everywhere and are deeply sensitive souls
Maybe critics were harsher then while these days scores from sites like Ilovecomicbookmovies.com and ilovecomicbookeastereggs.com are skewing the scores.
All art is political, whether it be abstract existentialist explorations or blockbuster crowdpleasers. The biggest brand in the world right now having their first female-led film was inherently going to be a political affront to some dumb motherfuckers on its own, and the actress daring to ask for inclusiveness was more than enough for their fragile fucking egos to flip shit about it. Nobody made this more than it was until the incel motherfuckers pissing their pants online decided to throw a tantrum.
with this expectations.....
Wow. Better than Dr. Strange. enjoyed it
Yep, it's easy to recommend this move. Of the Origin MCU movies is one of the better ones. Fun, action packed, well acted, easy to follow with good twists, likeable characters, etc. It's just really well done.
being honest... 100% honest. yeah, it is a little lacking, and it's not quite the event we thought it was going to be
but if we all play the RT game... i genuinely can't think why anyone would see it as a 5/10 film
i mean 5/10???... that's skyscraper, jupiter ascending, terminator genisys territory
captain marvel is a very solid enjoyable 7/10

Kind of offtopic but speaking of skyscraper I finally saw it and Christ. More like 2/10 movie lol
actually i agree... but you know what i mean. middling films are genuinely middling films... captain marvel is FAR from being in that category
Yeah, this movie is getting review bombed hard. If you look through the reviews on RT its people talking about "sjw agenda" and "I'm a white Male so this probably isn't made for me".
I mean, how fucking weak of a man are you when you are so easily offended by Brie's comments.

Great job exposing yourself there. Hard to take anything you said seriously now
I'm really looking forward to seeing it. First Marvel movie I haven't been able to catch on opening night thanks to work. :(
Ugh I've become really sensitive to shaky-cam action as of late. I hate badly chopped up action. Seeing it Sunday with a small group. Still looking forward to it! That said, I HIGHLY doubt this movie is Dark World generic.
Saw it last night. Mediocre. As you watch it, it becomes quite predictable because you've seen this structure too many times in previous mcu movies. Action was mostly cringe worthy.
There are several very easily identifiable key words that should be auto-moderated from that section and "SJW" is one of them. The people posting, that use that word, are such idiots that I bet if they just auto-deleted reviews with that word in it they wouldn't have the ability to express themselves at all. RT needs to use some ingenuity here.
Watched it last night
...i was expecting much better tbh, vastly preferred WW especially for the action sequences

Loved it!
Loved Ben Mendelssohn, he was such a great character. I thought the plot was hardy predictable unless you've read a lot about it before online... I mean, I worked on the movie and I had no idea where they were going with it.
Really though Goose and Fury were the standout, though. Brie was great, loved her cockiness.

Skyscraper and Genisys are definitely lower than a 5/10. 4/10 tops.
Also Jupiter Ascending is good.
I gave their work a look and I thought it was more or less what I expected. Basically people sayign why they liked or disliked a movie, which is exactly what reviews are I suppose, but also why I mostly ignore them.
Just so that it doesn't feel I dislike everything, one example of a review that I liked is AV Club's Sicario review. And the reason is that I felt this review gave me an extra insight into the film, something that might not have been obvious. It added to my experience of the film. Also, I find Film Crit Hulk to be very good, although I'm not sure I would consider his articles reviews.
Anyway, in a more generic tone, I think reviewers should try to give their audiences tools to understand their point of view. For example, I didn't like Captain Marvels action scenes. If I wrote a review about that, I would try to make people understand why I didn't like them, rather than just say I didn't and throw some adjectives in there.
The movie was mediocre at best. It's not just based on PR. Which I could care less about
Didnt realize Captain Marvel was releasing on International Women's day, gotta love corporations
It was okay. I think I'm pretty fatigued on super hero movies though. The whole theater was losing their shit at the ties to Avengers 4 and stuff and I feel like I was the only one sitting there like "yep, that was an alright movie".
Whaaat? No. A story where a young toilet cleaner turns out to be a choosen princess trying to protecting planet earth from a real estate agent conglomerate is in no way good.
Well, reactions in the numerous threads about the film here on Era are actually quite positive. It doesn't look like general audiences will share your opinion on "mediocre at best."
As far as the user reviews go, that is almost completely based on alt-right trolls online.
Yeah it is cuz that's fucking wild and rad as hell. It's over the top but that's the point. I'd take a movie like that over your typical generic blockbuster like Skyscraper any day
Imo what makes a critic good is if they're able to have takes on movies other than "this was good/bad"
There's some famous quote or something that says "Being a critic isn't about having an opinion, it's about being able to defend it". So many of these YouTube reviewers just spend ten minutes nitpicking plot holes and pacing issues. It's not good criticism. That's stuff that anybody can pick out.

Omg no. Now I can never trust your opinion on any matter whatsoever. Next you'll be saying Redmaynes role in it was better than Theory of Everything.
Let's say your 100 percent correct. Still, do you think they should shape there PR around that? Brie spoke the truth, there is a lot of racial inequality in Hollywood and entertainment media. She had every right to call that out and having a company like marvel and Disney pandering to a white supremacist grouo is the last thing we want. Still doesn't excuse a shitty movie. Which I personally thought it was.
Well Theory of Everything is trash. And so is Jupiter Ascending, but it knows it's trash. And I'm not a fan of Redmayne, I think he's way too hammy, but Jupiter Ascending is the only movie he's been in where that level of ham matches the movie around him.
Honestly the movie was better than I expected. I think probably right at the top for origin stories and better than Black Panther which I loved.
Love the regulars coming in to try and shit on the feel. Welcome to all the closeted incels who will despise the movie just because like Star Wars
Those with valid complaints all cool! Ya'll give reasons
Planning on watching it Saturday too just like all the other Marvel movies.

Weird of them to praise the action and beginning of the movie but shit on the rest lol
Especially because the action and the beginning of the movie in particular are so tepid. Made Solo's opening scenes seem bright and saturated.
I think that's just for the US. Released two days ago here (Finland) and the world premiere in London was last month.
Really enjoyed it, except the first sequence should've been cut entirely and it should've opened on Earth. Best parts were Cap and Fury's buddy cop routine and Marvel remembering her past properly. Space stuff was fine.
I had a lot of fun watching it and despite how the reviews have been coming off, Brie Larson was great. The character is charming.
I think it's definitely an 8 out of 10.
