Captain Marvelis Not Bad, is the unthrilling point Ive been circling here.
But Not Bad is better than where were coming from, EWs Darren Franichwrites.
Read the first reviews ofCaptain Marvel, out in theaters this Friday, below.
This latest Marvel Studios expansion pack stars Oscar winner Brie Larson as an amnesiac.
(Shes haunted by memories of Annette Bening, as all the best humans are.)
Vers was taught one thing: to fight this way, for these people, for this cause.
Everything shes been told is wrong!
And that makes for a rouser of a journey.
At times, the film has all the makings of a wildly effective Nike commercial.
This is a full-on, strange, sci-fi film.
Some of the scenes reminded me of Rey snapping into the endless mirrors duringThe Last Jedi.
This is a movie that features a cerebral, psychedelic fight set to Nirvanas Come As You Are.
And a huge reason this movie works is Ben Mendelsohn, of all people.

AfterCaptain Marvel, the MCU feels more complete.
Still, once Danvers connects with Fury, their odd-couple banter blasts the film into the stratosphere.
