I liked the supporting cast a lot (particulary Ben Mendelsohn, who was great), but I thought Captain Marvel herself was a one-dimensional bore. she basically had one expression for the entire film, and the attempts to show her character progression over time were muddied by confusing editing.

the 90s call-backs were fun at first, but they hit those a bit too hard and started venturing into eye-roll territory.

three-quarters into the movie, I was waiting for it to end so I could see the post-credits scene. then when it hit, I found myself feeling emotions about CM sharing the screen with the OG Avengers — characters I actually care about. and she's showing up to save *them*? she ain't worthy!!

it makes me concerned about the future of the MCU if someone with such little charsima is gonna be the new focus.

(the Stan Lee tribute at the start was nice, tho.)
