Captain Marvel

The story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. Set in the 1990s, Captain Marvel is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This is the first super hero movie I've ever seen where I have actually read the bulk of the comics that the movie is based on. So maybe I'm too close to it to see the big picture.
I loved this movie. They 100% crush the characterisation of Carol. She is exactly the person I love from the comics I love.
I was a bit thrown by the framing at the start, but once the film gets its legs everything is great. I think this is deliberate through, because it gives you the same uneasy feeling Carol is going through with her memory loss.
Everything else plays out like a pretty straightforward action movie.
Samuel L Jackson looks amazing considering he is playing 30 years younger than he is. Ben Mendelsohn stands out in every scene he is in. Brie Larson does a perfect job.
Overall, pretty good film.
