I went to see Captain Marvel at Eden Court, and I enjoyed watching the film, and it leaves me looking forward to seeing Avengers: Endgame later this year.
I think that Nick Fury provided much of the comedy of the film such as his interaction with Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, and his friendship with Goose the ginger cat. It was interesting in how Nick got the idea that would (the Cinematic Universe's timeline) become the Avengers. Since I have never read any Captain Marvel comics, I am not familiar with the Free-Skrulls War storyline, but I don't think that it mattered that much because as with many war films, it's never clear who's the enemy and who's the allies (particularly if there's shapeshifters involved). It was here that we get (I think) the first hint of what caused Ronan to become the villain we've already seen him as.
I liked to storyline of how Carol Danvers transforms into Captain Marvel, with the flashbacks hinting and telling her past life before getting involved in the space war, and then trying to regain her memories, and start to take a stand for what she realises is the right things.
I liked the tribute to Stan Lee, first the Marvel logo showing clips of Lee's many cameos throughout the MCU, and then there was the cameo in the film, where he and Carol seem to give a friendly exchange of looks. I hope that there will be a cameo in Endgame, as it would a fitting end of the cameos of one of the greatest comic book creators in history. If there's one more cameo in the next Spider-Man film, I'll be keeping my eyes open for that. Thanks Stan Lee.
I hope that you will come, see and enjoy at Eden Court.
