Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel is a lot like Black Panther in one significant way: whether Marvel likes it or not, people are politicizing it. Except this time it's representation of women instead of representation of black people.
Marvel, for their part, don't really care. Just like they didn't really care with Black Panther. They just want you to see it.
Just like Black Panther, the politicization is turning out to be unwarranted. Reviews are in. It's not a political movie.
Unlike Black Panther, reviews aren't great. The general consensus seems to be that it's "pretty okay". Something like The Incredible Hulk in 2008, or Thor: The Dark World in 2013. I personally am expecting it to be about as good as Captain America: The First Avenger - that is to say, fun to watch, but with obvious issues.
People are saying Brie Larson, for all her talents, is not that good in this movie. Hmm. I thought the same thing about Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk.
Anyway, I still want to see it. I don't know that much about the character, and that's kinda rare for me, since I grew up on the Marvel cartoons and knew a little about the comics back then.
The choice is yours! If you like popcorn movies, Marvel movies, superhero movies, or action movies in general, I suspect you'll get at least your money's worth out of this one.
Captain Marvel is rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and brief suggestive language.
