Captain Marvel

Despite not being a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) (I have no intention of watching Endgame and have missed most of the recent Avengers films), I watched Captain Marvel just a few days after its release so I could review it for Third Way: http://thirdway.com/captain-marvel/

I confess I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Captain Marvel, not least because of Brie Larson's performance and the story involving the Scrull and a missing artifact, as well as the scenes involving a retired young air force pilot (Maria). But the film is flawed in various ways (as are the rest of the MCU films), so Captain Marvel gets only somewhere between *** and ***+. My mug is up.

See my Third Way review for details.
