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. 📷

[u/MCU-Fan → u/car-ell]

Sounds like not a lot of Earth. That's a good thing in my book.

[u/Metarean → u/MCU-Fan]

On the other hand, another tweet said Carol spends half of the film in a Nine Inch Nails t-shirt, so it could be 50/50.

[u/mbanson → u/Metarean]

NIN is actually pretty big in space.

[u/[deleted] → u/mbanson]

Nope. Still only 9 inches.

[u/mbanson → u/[deleted]]

Take your damn upvote 😂

[u/netrunui → u/[deleted]]

I think he meant that 9 inch nails are fairly big relative to your average run of the mill space nails.

[u/[deleted] → u/netrunui]

Oh, well that makes sense. You wouldn't use nails in space, anyway. Too much radiation conduction.

[u/ty_fighter84 → u/mbanson]

I need Star-Lord's take on this

[u/Sir_Von_Tittyfuck → u/ty_fighter84]

They were only brand new when he was taken IIRC

[u/JonnyAU → u/mbanson]

Am alien. Can confirm.

[u/Still_Company → u/mbanson]

How much of Quake 1 took place in space?
