Captain Marvel
The 21st feature film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain Marvel is Marvel Studios' first female led film and, naturally, was met with controversy by some groups online, which will not be elaborated on here, this will be a review based solely on the film.
Academy Award winner Brie Larson plays Carol Danvers, a super powered soldier for the Kree Empire in their war against the shape-shifting Skrulls. When the fight comes to Earth in 1995, Carol is forced to confront her past and her inner demons.
It is akin to the superhero origin stories of the early MCU, but told through a non-linear narrative that enables the audience to learn more about Carol's story alongside her as she rediscovers herself.
The visual effects department did incredibly when it came to the de-ageing of Samuel L. Jackson as a younger Nick Fury, though his movements during some minor action scenes did give away that he is still a 70 year old man.
Captain Marvel is an okay MCU film, featuring good action set pieces, Marvel trademark humour and well done special effects.
