Captain Marvel - Film Review

Hi guys

Just a quick review of Captain Marvel and I really enjoyed it plus it had Brie Larson in it! Gorgeous.

Anyway I'll wipe away the drool long enough to write this review.

It starts with Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) waking up and being trained by her mentor Yon-Rogg played by Jude Law.
He assembles his team of Kree warriors to attack their enemies the Skrulls.  Skulls are cool shape changing aliens.
The mission goes wrong and Captain Marvel is captured by the Skrulls but escapes and lands with a bang on Earth in the nineties.

Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) who has both eyes intact investigates the crash landing and joins Captain Marvel as they battle the Skrulls.

Although there are plot twists - spoilers - the Skrulls (for now) ain't the bad guys and Captain Marvel remembers she's originally from Earth and is an air force pilot called Carol Danvers.

There is some cool action and set pieces and as always great SFX including de-aging Samuel L Jackson.
The plot is a bit thin and reminded me of Green Lantern but has some surprises and we find out how Nick Fury loses his eye (to a cute little cat).  This emphasises how evil cats are.

A plot point I didn't like is how the Kree were controlling Captain Marvels power with a chip on her neck.  Surely she would have felt it in shower etc.

Overall a great enjoyable film which added to the Marvel film universe and Brie Larson - hubba hubba.

Score      9/10

P.s. I hope to see the original Captain Marvel at the weekend.  Those that know their comic history know I'm on about Shazam!
