went to see this film sunday,was pleasantly surprised how good it was.too many freepers are turning into haters without actually giving a movie a chance.
I wonder how many of these tickets were bought by the studio and then given away for free?
It had a $152 mil production budget. Didn’t make that back til Sunday.
We’ll see if it’s got legs...
Saw it yesterday. It was an ok film. Not the best, Capt. America First Avenger for me, of the Marvel fair and not the worst, 2nd Iron Man for me.
The story did seem formulaic and didn’t really have a lot of real drama built into the script. The constant flashbacks seemed more interruptive than helpful. I know what they were trying to say and lead up to at the climax, but Larson just didn’t deliver it with the passion it needed.
Jackson and the cat made the movie. Larson’s acting was robotic at best and didn’t seem to have any real passion.
Overall it was a decent setup for the May Avengers release and gives the fans something to chew on until then. I would have put it out in Dec to space it between Infinity War and End Game better instead of putting it where they did, but they probably didn’t have it ready.
Saw it. It sucked.
The fx are decent and the story follows a decent pace - but drags horribly in the third act.
Brie’s acting is wooden and stiff and they seem to have to get around that by having all the other characters talk about how funny and lively she is. Then she makes a sardonic remark that just falls dead.
She’s also a worse Mary Sue character than Rey from Star Wars.
But the worst part is that Fury’s character is retconned from bad MF to goof ball beta and the entire plot ends up being a recovery of the original tesseract from the first Captain America - that thing gets around.
Personally I think Disney knew they had a dud on their hands and false flagged the “review bombing” to drum up support for this bomb.
any moose slime superheroes in it?
Jeeez. I read the headline and thought this was the hugest launch ever. Then, you get into the article to find that it did well but wasn’t the greatest. It is the best opening for a solo super hero movie featuring someone wearing tights while glowing and drinking water in onat least one scene where music is playing in the background.
I suppose I would go see the movie if it wasn’t corrupted by its lead actress into such an “in your face” experience. No thanks. I’ll stick to being suckered into going to the next Star Wars Episode IX “men bad, women great” where we can continue to learn how men screwed up that galaxy far far away.
I had a student (female) who went to see the film over the weekend. She is a big Marvel fan. She said the film sucked.
Seems pretty obvious...
There is NO such thing a bad publicity. The star’s daffy yapping simply pumped the press, the bloggers, the supposed trolls into overdrive. It may have garnered some additional support from left leaning moviegoers, but in reality...
The star of the flick and the flick itself have been living, rent free, in the minds of fans, haters, otaku, and the aforementioned press.
Seems we all know someone else that has used that kind of derangement to stay on top of the public consciousness.

“The Anna Boden/Ryan Fleck-directed sci-fi adventure just scored the MCU’s seventh-biggest opening behind Iron Man 3 ($174m in 2013), Captain America: Civil War ($179m in 2016), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191m in 2015), Black Panther ($202m in 2018), The Avengers ($207m in 2012) and Avengers: Infinity War ($258m in 2018).”
In other words, its opening weekend was actually in the range of the oddball entries like Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, rather than the flagship films from the studio. That’s a pretty big loss for Marvel when they were clearly trying to make her into a central character to replace the likes of Thor, Captain America, or the Hulk in the next set of films.
Americans can spend $455 million to go to the movies but can’t pay their own medical bills. Weird.
I don’t know anyone who is watching this garbage anymore.
Too much PC crap .
I hold my own opinion on movies. I am not sure when I will see Capt Marvel, but I am not going to worry about it.
Marvel is unstoppable.
Came across this which may be of interest in the discussion of the movie:

I stopped going to see superhero movies after I became an adult. They’re for adolescents and perpetual adolescents.
It definitely had the “men bad/women good” vibe going for it. Men were idiots or bad guys. Women were smart and in charge.
One thing, how many women pilots were in the Air Force in the 1990’s? What are the odds that there would be two female test pilots in the same squadron in the 1990’s?
I thought the cat bit was one of the few spots of humor in an otherwise dreary, predictable, and preachy two hours.
