1) To start out, we open with a confusing introduction to her character. We get limited backstory, and we are introduced to the Kree with very little context. The movie gets into action pretty quickly, and leaves most of the character development to piecemeal flashbacks.

2) Throughout the movie, there are a lot of highly contrived scenes designed to push a narrative. I can think of a few scenes off the top of my head. The "cockpit" scene, the "smile more" scene, and the "young lady" scene were specifically put in there to promote the feminist agenda. The use of "Just a girl" as background music was a terrible choice as well. It just felt like the movie was really trying to draw attention to the fact that their main character was a girl. It distracted from the story, and it reeked of a liberal feminist agenda.

3)Spoiler!

4) The way Fury lost his eye was really dumb and anticlimactic.

5) Captain Marvel never has a training montage or anything. She just is instantly good at everything (because she's a girl, of course). It's really just a terrible way to build a character. Nobody wants to see a character who is just instantly good at chit. And they tried to cheese her way out of it by showing her failing as a kid in her memories, but of course, they never spent any time developing the HUMAN character at all, so there is no sympathy or sense of adversity. Classic Mary Sue.

6) The ending was really dumb. She just wiped out a couple of spaceships, and this mothafuka thinks he can square off with her? OK.

7)She just shows up randomly wherever just in time. Lots of things in the movie were very contrived. Skrull being in the exact right place at the right time, etc.

8) She just isn't an interesting character at all. Honestly, Coulson, Fury, and the cat were way more interesting than she was and more enjoyable to watch. They had humorous lines and good interactions.

9) It honestly felt like they just phoned this movie in. Even if Brie did a good job acting, which I would say her acting was just "ok" here, the script was weak af. There wasn't enough character development, tension, and drama to justify us caring about her. Even Captain America 1, which is widely considered the worst MCU movie, had a stronger plot and better character development than this. They could have done a Memento style superhero movie and had her slowly try to piece together who she was. Instead, the mystery was solved way too fast. There was no tension. I wasn't excited about anything in the entire movie.

Overall: Movie was pretty fuking generic. For an MCU movie, it's a total flop. For their political propaganda, it is also a total flop. If this movie didn't have the Marvel tag and such a reputation and legacy to live up to, and you judged it on its own merits, you would think it was a made for TV movie.

I give it 3/10, and that's being generous. Mediocre af.
