Fights, explosions, aliens.

If you are looking for SJW stuff, don’t bother.

Just turn off your brain and enjoy.

For anyone that has cats, the final scene in the credits is worth the price of admission.

Isn’t this the movie that the chick playing the superhero said she didn’t want white men at her movie? If so, so far I’ve obliged her. I will continue to do so. To hell with her.

Give me a break.

“‘Captain Marvel’ Darting To Super $156M-$160M Opening”

Translation: Disney bought $100 million in tickets.

Can we ever stop falling for Hollywood BS?

Not invested in the studio’s stock
Don’t own a movie theater
I fail to understand how it matter 2 figs what the box-office take is on a movie

If there is an agenda to push, “religious pictures”, “abortion horrors”, small studio product, etc. it could be understandable but Disney? What’s it matter to anyone?

Will not watch. Do not want to encourage them to make homosexual “superheroes”.

Rotten Tomatoes is blatantly schilling for the film and jerry-rigging their polls.

Rotten Tomatoes has literally destroyed the trust of their readers by deleting/expunging over FIFTY THOUSAND NEGATIVE audience VIEWER REVIEWS! Presto ...they just magically "dissapeared".

Super hero movies are as inspiring to me as anal fissures or vaginal canker sores

It’s silly fantasy for couch locked soy boys and girls

I just saw it: not great, not bad. I give it a C+/B-.

Brie Larson was wooden. I suspect that was deliberate, since her character was not fully self aware, having little memory of her past. But it impaired the storytelling. It will be revealing if she is more animated in Avengers: Endgame.

All the focus by some on Captain Marvel being female is misleading. These are people who do not know the comics history; Carol Danvers (USAF colleague of Walter Lawson, AKA first Captain Marvel) goes back to 1968, and her feminist super-powered self, Ms. Marvel, goes back to 1977.

What bothered me more was making Mar-Vell female.

What bothered me most was turning the all-time villains, the Skrulls, into purely sympathetic illegal alien refugees who happen to look different from the Imperial oppressors.

That was the real SJW low blow. I collected comics before it was a recognized thing. The Skrulls go back to the very second super-hero comic book published by the nascent Marvel Comics (after the name change): The Fantastic Four #2!

The Kree were not angels, but the Skrulls were evil.

P.S.
Captain Marvel/Shazam of Fawcett/DC has no relation to Marvel Comics, except trademark name issues.

P.P.S.
The Fantastic Four, of the Jack Kirby/Stan Lee 1960s era, is the single most important source for the whole MCU - even though they do not appear in it. It really was “The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine”: The Black Panther, Cosmic Cube (Tesseract), Ronan the Accuser, The Skrulls, The Kree, Him (Adam Warlock), The Inhumans, The Watchers - all first appeared there.

Well the film opened big, lets see what the drop off is next weekend.

I am waiting on “Shazam”, you know the word. That is the film I want to see. April 5th opening.
