Does Brie Larson want her movie to fail?

Why say that Captain Marvel can beat Superman? (just dodge the question!) I just don't understand what she is thinking.

eh both Gal Gadot and Chris were asked if WW can beat Thor.

GG said she can and called out Chris to agree with her.

besides, Brie was clearly joking.

WW and Thor would fight for a while and then realise they are both awesome and make super strong Amazgardian babbies.

Wondering if the Rotten Tomato score is being over inflated like Black Panther because of the wokeness, but to a notable lesser extent. I'll wait for the audience score to come in.

Jesus .... just watched the wired video, she really is an unlikable person.

Brie was not joking at all.

again with this bullshit.

I don't give two shits about what she said about white men.

White men don't give one shit whether you do or don't.

She goes from bored to aggravated to borderline hostile at the questions she gets. Really strange. Its like she would rather be doing anything but that video.

I saw it yesterday.

Overall, I had a good time, it's an okay film, I'd say it's about average for the MCU. Its biggest problem is just that it's coming out a month before Endgame, so obviously everyone's impatient to get to that rather than watch an origin film.

Ben Mendelsohn is probably the standout performance. Also the CGI on Fury and Coulson, don't know how they kept that looking convincing the whole film.

Brie Larson is really good but I feel like we don't get enough time to get to know her in her default state since the whole film is a quest to recover her identity. We mostly just see her true personality in pieces. I hope we get more out of her in later films. She's a great actress, loved her in United States of Tara.

If there's one thing about the film that doesn't work, it's... the cinematography? Directing? Maybe editing? I dunno, it just felt a bit disjointed at times, like a scene would happen and I could see the what it was doing but the camera just wouldn't quite put a big enough button on it. Like the director or someone just couldn't make the most of the scene. Hard to put into words. Also there were a couple of action scenes with the old "too fast to see what's happening" problem, not a lot of them but it does bug me.

Non-spoiler review: it's a pretty good film, not going to set the world on fire but hey it's pretty good for Captain Marvel who's not exactly Marvel's A list. I'd overall recommend watching it, though it does feel a little optional considering we're getting a new character introduced moments before 10 years of continuity comes to a head in Endgame. So you can skip it I guess, you just won't know who Captain Marvel is once that film comes out.

WW and Thor would fight for a while and then realise they are both awesome and make super strong Amazgardian babbies.

That or this would happen.

I'm a white man and I don't give two shits about these completely innocuous comments.

Who are these thin skinned douchebags looking to take offence at anything remotely critical of white men? Pfff, losers.

They're not trolling. They're speaking factually. Billy Batson is the one true Captain Marvel. Marr-vell/Monica Rambeau/Carol Danvers's correct name is Captain Trademark Theft.

Ironically, the real criminal here is DC, who are the ones whose lawsuit put Fawcett Comics out of business in the first place (winning a frankly ridiculous lawsuit). And the fact they ended up with the rights to Billy Batson is the real icing on the cake lol.

Mar-Vell was created at a time when Marvel Comics had good reason to believe the trademark had lapsed. I mean sure they were hoping to capitalise on the name but due to the legal decision it wasn't like they thought Fawcett was going to be able to publish any more Captain Marvel stories.

Captain Marvel was created in 1939. Marvel managed to steal the trademark in 1967. Creating a character because of a trademark lapse is not creative and Marvel's inability to create a lasting character to fill that trademark for 30 years demonstrates their lack of imagination.

Well you can hardly say it's not creative since the only thing the two have in common is the name. Ironically, Marvel's Captain Marvel is more different to DC's/Shazam than he is to Superman.

The major problem is that Captain Marvel is too big and powerful of a character to introduce right before Avengers Endgame. The mid credits scene was some of the weirdest feeling shit, with how the characters interacted and how the tone shifted, that I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure they cropped a scene right out of Endgame and stuck it in the credits, like that scene from Civil War they showed in... Ant-Man I think? Yes, it's weird when they do that. I wish they wouldn't.

First reviews come out and?? What a surprise the movie is boring and mediocre and everyone hates Bri performance :P Lol no wonder :P when you had Cate Blanchett or Zoe Saldana as your choice in the past and then Bri "The Log" Larsen?? Who did the casting??!

I mean, you shouldn't put any weight on meaningless things like internet reviews, but it's at like 85% on RT.

I would like to voice my opinion about this film, but im a white male, so im not allowed.

You aren't allowed because you haven't seen it

That or this would happen.

cause she's either, not going to say anything counter to her character as assigned, or a dumb fuck who doesn't know shit about either character.

[Mormolyce]

Its possible to make a good movie that's part of a trilogy and still have a good concise ending. Alita and Infinity War both failed to have good endings.

I haven't seen Alita but disagree on Infinity War. It had a great ending. It was the perfect conclusion for its hero, Thanos.

In any case, I think it's silly to demand multiple part films have endings within them. Sure we have to wait two years for Endgame, but for decades after people will be marathoning those films.

(I just threw it in as a joke but accuracy isn't really a thing that's possible with fictional universes, let alone two incompatible ones thrown together).

it is if you aren't stupid, ignorant, or biased.
shame DB can't pass that measly bar.

well good for them.

Black panther was trash but it's racist to hate that movie

It wasn't and it isn't, but keep feeling sorry for yourself I guess?

I've heard people call CM as a character too stoic, as if the writers equate being emotional and passionate as weak for a female superhero. But then again, afaik, that's what the CM character is in the comics, as well: a stoic, almost robotic, slightly arrogant, alien superhero - who happens to be female. For you comic readers, does that ring true?

The question then becomes: is Brie Larson playing a stoic character well, or is she playing a more dynamic character blandly? Because I've also heard there are moments where she's snarky and the character is likeable, but they dial that back so she doesn't come off as "annoying."

I haven't read enough Carol Danvers CM comics to judge, but... I didn't have that problem with her in the film. Her character is different from the start of the film to the end though.

Don't be ridiculous, there is no real right answer.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

to me, it was Thor: Ragnarok.

I’m going to see it tonight. Also post those spoilers everyone in spoiler tags or you will be reported for trolling. Do not quote spoilers either as quotes do not display spoiler tags!!!!

[DerpyMcDerp]

Don't be ridiculous, there is no real right answer.

There most certainly is a right answer.

Who would win in a battle between WW and Thor? The lawyers

[grexly75]

Well, review that I personally was waiting for finally hit -



(spoiler free, uses scenes from trailers only)

Seems to line up pretty consistently with the less extreme of the reviews to come out so far. I'm still definitely planning on watching it, but I don't really expect anything mind blowing to come from the experience.

Yeah that is the one thing I am seeing from some of the reviews that are now out and about.. The reviewers find that for an origin movie it was just mediocre, and one reviewer even went so far as to say that Brie was the wrong choice to play Capt Marvel..
