Saw it for the second time last week. Thought it was even better the second time. I don't understand why people are giving her such a hard time. If she wasn't such an outspoken SJW then I doubt anyone would have said anything about her acting performance. I mean, she's playing a Kree soldier (not exactly a role designed for laughs and smiles) *and* she doesn't have a memory of who she is. What did people want her to do, tapdance "Hello My Baby" like the WB frog? (And, yes, it was about girl power... big ****ing deal. So was "Wonder Woman". So was the "Buffy" TV series. So was "Alien" and "Aliens". Women do make up half the population, they're entitled to a few moments of ass-kicking. Why this bothers guys I'll never know.)
And I don't see them using her as the final-act macguffin in "Endgame". That's just too simplistic. It might have something to do with Strange and the time stone, or the soul stone, or Ant-Man shrinking down to go steal stone(s), or an alternate universe, but I don't think they'd stoop to "Scene: Captain Marvel swoops in and kicks ass, end credits roll." |

This shit again? No one who is honestly reviewing the movie is really giving her a hard time. She just wasn't very good. She lacks the charisma for a superhero role, or at least she did in this performance. That's pretty bad when she's playing a Superman kind of role which is boring anyway. For a character that is so high powered there are only a few plot arcs that are compelling. They blew the origin story arc with a weak performance from the actress. That being said, it wasn't a bad movie, it just wasn't as good as it could have been. In that way it was disappointing. *Upon Edit: By the way those other shows you mentioned were interesting stories, told well, by compelling actors. This wasn't. |

Finally saw this.
If Samuel L Jackson hadn't been in this it would have been garbage. Character got too OP too fast and though it wasn't too bad, there were several nods to RAWR I AM WOMYN that just went too over the top. Blowing the top off Schwarzenegger's head? It's called a COCKpit, honey huhuhuhuhuh We'll be back for the weapon. The Tesseract? No...the WOMYN. Stealing a horny biker's ride? Give me a ****ing break. Would have been better without all that feminazi pandering shit. Wonder Woman did this better and so did Ellen Ripley. They better not give the character a huge role in Endgame because she hasn't earned it. Oh yeah, and Brie can't act. Still, enjoyable. 6.5/10. The work did they did with SLJ's face was incredible. Every scene with the cat was cream cheese. And they eye scar? Last edited by Hammock Parties; 04-21-2019 at 02:49 PM.. |

Take note, feminazis...this is how you do a GIRL POWER scene without it coming off hamfisted and over the top. You don't have to tear down a man in a scene just to make the woman look good.

Yep. I never thought of Ripley as a bad ass woman. Just a bad ass.

One thing I LOVED was the Stan Lee cameo and Danvers' reaction to him.
Absolutely nailed it. |
