MOVIE REVIEW: Ass-kicking, comedy and an incredible lead-performance - here's why you should watch Captain Marvel
into one brilliant package. I'm not saying that it's an imitation of those films' best parts, I am saying that it takes my favourite things about a world that I have loved for a good chunk of my adult life and reinterprets them in a way that I connected with on another level.
The luminous heart of this film is Brie Larson, whose performance is one of the best I've seen from a Marvel protagonist. She just fits. The last time I felt like this I was watching Robert Downing Jr as Iron Man for the first time.Kenneth Turran who said in his glowing review:"Not only did Larson train for nine months to get her strength to where it needed to be, she seems to embody her character completely, bringing her hopes, her spirit and her lively insouciance to life.
I also must commend the writers of this screenplay including Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve among others, for taking one of the most complicated origin stories to make it to the big screen and making it action packed, easy to follow and a fun ride with a rewarding payoff. If you're a bit of nerd and want to unpack those origins,Another highlight of mine was the music. The soundtrack is the stuff of sonic dreams.
Go watch this movie, everyone. Take friends. Bring your neighbours. It should be awarded for being a movie that is head and shoulders above my expectations, which weren't low.
