I, a twenty-eight year old white male (at the time of this writing), am with sound mind and body reviewing Captain Marvel. Why? Because this is America and I can complain about whatever I like, thank you Brie Larson. Granted, I'm about half the age of the people that she claimed she didn't want to see more reviews of, but I'm happy to say this attitude has not infected Captain Marvel...much.
But let me just go ahead and spoil it here: this is not a bad movie. It's your standard Marvel fare. Whether you like them or not, Marvel Cinematic Universe films are well produced and have wide mass appeal. Disney can cast a wide net and catch a lot of people in it (unless the project head is named Rian Johnson) who will then give them a lot of money. Will Captain Marvel do well? More than likely. Is it going to be some kind of wunderkind film that will redefine films for the rest of eternity, like some sort of Silver Screen form of Jesus?
No.
Just like Black Panther was not that either.
You know what they both were? Fairly solidly made.
