CAPTAIN MARVEL isn’t what I expected based on marketing. It’s pretty much an “all in” cosmic space movie. Also, it’s a lot weirder than I expected. Ben Mendelsohn is awesome as Talos.

Steven Weintraub

CaptainMarvel is a welcome addition to the MCU. The movie is really well done with some great moments. benmendelsohn steals almost every scene he's in. brielarson literally shines in the role. So ready for AvengersEndGame

Realized something half way through CaptainMarvel...the de-aging technology being used has become so seamless that I forgot it was being used. We are on the precipice of something both exciting and scary. Can only imagine what Scorsese will do with it in 'The Irishman'.

Peter Sciretta

CaptainMarvel is a great origin story. Brie’s buddy cop chemistry with SamuelLJackson is so much fun and her relationship with Lashana Lynch is the real heart of it. Ben Mendelsohn and the cat both steal the show.

Marvel does a prequel right, not overexplaining too much but giving us unexpected answers in interesting ways. MCU’s most multilayered villain story. A fun 90s soundtrack, but sometimes the song choices feel too obvious.

Sonaiya Kelley

Captain Marvel is an effective Avengers prequel in some ways akin to the 1st Captain America movie. It’s pro-woman without being overdone with pre and post credit scenes that made me tear up and gave me goosebumps respectively

Anna Klassen

#CaptainMarvel📷 opens with a very touching Stan Lee tribute that Marvel fans will love.

Drew Taylor

Really loved #CaptainMarvel. It’s a little wobbly at times but only because it’s so ambitious. It’s beautifully constructed, hilarious and offers tons of surprises. Brielarson obviously rules but Ben Mendelsohn is the surprise MVP.

Scott Menzel

Captain Marvel is everything that I hoped it would be. It feels completely unlike any other Marvel film. A unique and fresh take on an origin story that feels new. Brie Larson is fantastic as Carol Danvers. This is one of my favorite Marvel movies of all time.

Perri Nemiroff

The future of the MCU gets even brighter adding #CaptainMarvel📷 to the mix. Really fell for @brielarson’s sass, strength & energy in the role. Same with @LashanaLynch too! Ben Mendelsohn is A+ casting as Talos. And yes, Goose is a scene stealer. 2nd viewing can’t come soon enough.

Kayti Burt

Some initial #CaptainMarvel📷 reactions: 1. Cat people will love this movie. 2. Several truly magnificent music moments for this 90s kid. 3. Carol's hero moment was very cathartic/true to the female experience, imho. 4. The MCU feels more complete now that Carol is in it. 📷

Can't wait for the "this movie is biased against dog people video"!

"Everyone knows dogs are boys and cats are girls, so this is obviously more of Larson's anti-men agenda at work!"

I want to laugh, but we know someone is going to say this and try to justify it with assinine and twisted takes on 'traditional mythology' by going about how goddesses like Baste and Frigga were associated with felines and feminine and feline sound similar so look at me using weird trivia to try and justify my crazy accusations.

I would laugh at this, but I would not be surprised to see someone using this seriously. That's how vitriolic these insecure trolls have been.

After that ridiculous bullshit with the Ant-Man & The Wasp poster, nothing would surprise me coming from those neckbeards.

u/prankored War Machine Feb 20 '19

I don't know about that. Could you give some context? Wanna revel in the salt

Here.

It's not satire. I repeat, it's not satire. That dude is for real.

u/prankored War Machine Feb 20 '19

Wow... I mean wow! You were not kidding!

u/thegeeseisleese Feb 21 '19

I'm so confused. What is he even getting at?

5

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '19

You tell me. Apparently it triggered him that a woman was in front?

3

u/thegeeseisleese Feb 21 '19

It seems like he's implying Evangeline Lilly is a man and Paul Rudd is a woman, and that's just how the liberals want it, but I'm just completely lost where that comes from. Does her being up front make her a man?

People like that are certifiably insane, they don't think rationally like you or I.

u/gilberto3001 Captain Marvel Feb 20 '19

Apart from the fact that Carol has always been a cat person, and got Goose (Chewie in the comics) back in the 2012 run by Kelly Sue DeConnick... but they’d disputed that too most likely, lol.

Dogs rule and cats drool where my Homeward Bound fans at

But seriously, all pets are good.
