Captain Marvel

I knew nothing about Captain Marvel before going into this film. She was not a character that was even in my universe of existence as a kid (I was Spiderman, Fantastic Four only). So this film was a nice introduction to the character, and the Kree, and the Skrulls, and tied in nicely with Marvel Universe (as Marvel tends to do). I like the motivations that Danvers draws on for her decisions, and the people who she surrounds herself with to help her with thinking. It is a distinctly female personality to this film, which is one reason why it felt different, and one reason why I really liked it. If Carol Danvers is the center of the Marvel universe for the next 20 films, that is fine with me.
4 stars (out of 5)
