Breitbart Movie Review:Brie Larson Is the Beckiest Becky in Movie History
Breitbart ^ | 3/16/19 | John Nolte

Posted on 03/16/2019 6:53:23 PM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

I’m white. I’m male. I’m heterosexual. I’m Christian. I’m conservative. I’m a Trump supporter. Which means I’m also grateful… Grateful Captain Marvel star Brie Larson only requested that I not review her movie when I know she’d prefer to request my murder. So, as a compromise, this review is late, a week late, but Captain Marvel still sucked. It doesn’t Ghostbusters-remake suck. Rather, it sucks like Doctor Strange and that second Thor movie. It just kind of lies there in a purple puddle of uninspired but busy CGI; artless and simple.

If Brie’s worried about this white, heterosexual male objectifying her, she needn’t. Her eyes are too close together, she has the jawline of the Lone Ranger, no ass, and fat toes. She is also a charisma-free zone. Sterile. Bland. No pop. No ha-cha-cha. None. Zippo. My loins would stir watching Gal Gadot kill my dog. Watching Brie Larson do anything is like watching your snooty sister gossip on the phone.

The story is duller than dull, duller than Brie, another godawful origin tale, this one about an American fighter pilot who has no idea she’s an American fighter pilot, but instead thinks she’s part of some alien race in an alien war. After about 20 minutes, she crash lands on Earth in the year 1995, but because everything in 1995 looks almost exactly like everything does today, there’s no nostalgia factor. Okay, the Internet’s slower and there are Blockbusters and Radio Shacks. … Oh, yeah, a real back-to-the-future nostalgia trip.

Captain Marvel aka Carol Danvers eventually teams up with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson CGI’d to look 25 years younger), but they have absolutely no chemistry or warmth,....

Yep. Made in a time when heroes were heroes and you didn’t have to be ‘woke’ to know one when you saw one.

Yeah im sorry but she’s a hottie, and this movie was way better than Thor 2 (which still had good parts). And I liked Doctor Strange.

Brie is a liberal phoney but she’s good in the part and she’s attractive .

I went to see the movie last night. It was OK, but it had transitions that slapped you in the face.

For example, in one scene she is dressed in jeans and a tee shirt. Cut to the next scene and she is in full uniform. What?

Then there is the scene when she walks into a bar fifty miles from nowhere. Out strolls Samuel L Jackson from behind the bar. No discussion how he tracked her there. He was just there.

The movie is full of horrible writing and even worse editing.

In terms of the look and effects, it was good. A typical Marvel “B” level chapter. Not horrible. Not great.

Honestly, she isnt in the least attractive to me. I like brunettes anyway, but she doesn’t even spark an interest in my mind.

Seems like a few people like putting money in the pockets of people who despise them, for a little bit of mindless entertainment.

“Bread and Circuses”.

Except this time, the bread comes out of your pockets.

That was seriously funny. Honest trailers are great as well. Here’s their Wonder Woman:

If any guy said he didnt want to have women come and watch the movie he starred in, sorry but you kmow what would occur.

This gal cost the MOVIE STUDIO PAYING HER AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE MOVIE tens of millions to 100 million dollars worldwide.

You just do not deliberately piss off a huge segment of your normal movie goers. And still keep your job. Moneys money. You cant fix stupid but you sure as hell ought to fire it when it crops up and insults a whole swath of customers, and costs you a lot of easy profit you should have received.

You know what...she has no sex appeal at all. That usually means...

What's going on with the "piggy that had none"?

This movie should go straight to MST3K/Rifftrax.

Looks a tad butch. Even when she’s glammed up.

Oh hell yeah :-D Redheads work nicely too - but of the three I’ve dated over the years, nothing but trouble.

Re: Female action heroes as good as these two.

I recognize Sigourney Weaver (Alien).

Is the other one Linda Hamilton (Terminator)?

“Captain Marvel” is doing quite well at the box office, especially internationally.

USA & Canada - $216 million

Foreign - $379 million

It seems to be doing exceptionally well in the Pacific Rim....

China - $104 million - South Korea - $24 million

One strange thing. I just noticed that “Box Office Mojo” does not report any revenue from Japan for “Captain Marvel.”

I guess that means the film has not opened there yet.

"Captain Marvel" Production Budget (from Wiki) - $175 million

Current Box Office - $600 million

Break Even - $350 million - theaters and producers usually split about 50-50 on ticket sales.

Also - it's never clear if the production budget includes advertising, which can easily hit $50 million for a major film.
