It's a blast
I saw this yesterday in 4dx! Just the type of film to make the most of the experience. I really liked this, definitely better than The Last Jedi. It's good to see the back story of an iconic character. It ties in really well with the Star wars films as a whole with lots of references to the original 3 films. Featuring a great cast of good actors even in the small roles. Plenty of action scenes and a few surprises. It doesn't have the deepest of plots but there is enough here to keep everyone happy!

Wow. Just wow. I was so worried for this being bad after so many reviews saying it was a let down but how wrong they were.

A lot of nods to other characters and story arcs as well as a string link to Star Wars Rebels (the animated series) of which I also loved.

It was good to see how the Millennium Falcon got its iconic shape and how it was won.

Oh and of course the origin of the 12 parsecs run!

Go watch it now!!

Decent but not for me
I get that I am not the target market for this incarnation of Captain Marvel. This collection is split roughly in three. The story surrounding Chewie, with Rocket, was good, funny and well written. The second story, trying to save a rock star from an arranged marriage, was tedious drivel (similar to volume 1's Phantom Menace trade negotiations rubbish), and the third was slightly more what I would have expected from Marvel, a villain's attempt to take over New York.
A good collection for a character that some might really love, but definitely not my cup of tea.
