Plot
Just what I needed!
One of the great things about this movie is there's no romance subplot. It's so rare to see a movie with a female lead and not involve romance. It makes Captain Marvel seem more real.

I know a lot of people don't like the way Captain Marvel is portrayed, but I loved it! I see a lot of myself in Captain Marvel. Her humor, mannerisms, speech, and attitude really remind me of myself. Female characters all seem to fit into one of 6 categories and this movie added one more! Thank you!

I actually kind of liked the 'Dark Reign' phase of Marvel, it was much better than Civil War/Secret Invasion IMO. Captain Marvel is gone, and Carol investigates a mass suicide. It was a fairly strong volume, but, I decided not to read on in the Ms. Marvel series afterwards.

Ugh, I wanted to like the new Captain Marvel comics after Marvel did Warzones and basically blew everything into oblivion. But, Michele Fazekas is no Kelly Sue DeConnick. It also borrowed half of the story-line from one of the old Ms. Marvel stories. I'm not sure I'll want to continue reading on...

Strong, but likable female lead, Great action, Funny moments, 90's references (0 more)
The beginning is a little slow (0 more)
I'm a fan of the Marvel films (I've never read any of the comics), but I have felt that of late, they have been a bit formulaic. Although 'Captain Marvel' does deliver on some of those things that you expect from a Marvel film, it gives the viewer something different.

Captain Marvel portrayed a strong, but also likable woman and I really liked the empowering message this film sends across.


I really enjoyed the twists and unexpected turns this film has. Captain Marvel's origin story wasn't told in a linear way and I think that this made a refreshing change from how Marvel uses an entire film to explore this. We were drip fed some of the details within the action itself, which left you trying to work everything out for yourself.

There are some great action sequences in this and generally, this was very exciting. I loved the interactions between Captain Marvel, Nick Fury and particularly, the cat!

I also enjoyed the 90's references, it reminded me of my teenage years ( but it also made me feel a bit old too!).

My only negative observations would be that, although I liked that Captain Marvel's origin story was told in a different way, I found it to be a little confusing at times. I also thought that the first half an hour was a little bit slow.

However, this picked up and ended up being a really enjoyable film. I look forward to seeing 'Captain Marvel' in future Marvel films.

FINALLY, my library had a digital copy of the 3rd volume of Kelly Sue DeConnick's 2nd Captain Marvel run (yeah, Captain Marvel's runs are confusing as hell). This run was right before Marvel Comics essentially blew up the universe for the battleverse.
The first issues involve Carol tracking down Chewie, her flerken, because she was stolen. they were generally entertaining. There was then a strange filler issue, which was meh, then Carol returned to Earth. A very strange collection overall, the first issues were the best. This volume also features my favorite Captain Marvel panels that I completely relate to...

Cough, Cough, had Larson actually read this run, she'd have known Carol doesn't wear makeup.

Secret Invasion: Where Marvel decided to change characters into Skrulls. In this volume, Carol's not even sure if she's a Skrull. The newest run of Captain Marvel (2015) seemed to get an idea or two from this arc, and I'm not sure that was a good way to go.
