It's a genuinely solid origin story: sharper action choreography than I remembered, a de-aged Nick Fury that still …

Captain Marvel (2019) was an interesting watch, but it didn't fully hit the mark for me. The plot felt like it was trying to do too much at once, juggling an origin story, cosmic warfare, and humor without giving enough time to really develop Carol Danvers as a character. Instead of making me care about her journey, the movie just told me she was powerful and expected that to be enough. There were definitely some …

I wasn't going to see this movie at all based on the stupid comments made by Brie Larson but I tagged along with some friends anyway. Let me just say it was a massive mistake. I underestimated how difficult it would be to stand looking at the lead actress misogynistic and talentless face for two hours. On top of the train wreck that was her 'performance' the whole story just felt flat and bland, I don't want to …

I would not pay to see it. I did see it for free already...so at least, I was not cheated of my money ["I laughed, I cried, I kissed $10 good-bye!"--most other movies]. I saw sneak preview a few months back and it was the full-length feature but it was missing music in the end credit section and may have some added additional editing since then. What I did see, it was on par with Thor: Dark World in quality and has …

Me after finally watching Captain Marvel after years of not wanting to because everyone said it was a bad movie: So, the hate was always just because she's a woman, huh?
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 213 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 10, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
Captain Marvel grossed $426.8 million in the United States and Canada, and $701.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.128 billion. It had a worldwide opening of $456.7 million, the sixth-biggest of all time, and the biggest opening for a female-led film. Deadline Hollywood estimated that the film had a total production and advertising cost of $300 million. It is the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2019. On April 2, 2019, the film crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, becoming the first female-led superhero movie to do so, as well as the seventh Marvel title, the 19th Disney film, and 38th film overall. Deadline Hollywood calculated the film's net profit as $414…

It’s a PULP FICTION/GO style vignette film with four tales that all weave together into one wild, bloody, ass kicking, crazy ass genre movie. Not what I expected from the directors of HALF NELSON & CAPTAIN MARVEL.

A whole generation thinks "Marvel Movies" INVENTED IT because YouTubers only started pretending to be mad about it to drag 'Captain Marvel specifically 🤷♂️

neutral · AI labelView post →"MCU movies don't automatically make a billion now" will always vex me. That was never a thing! 2018-2019 and Black Panther and Captain Marvel making so much has forever skewed perspective. No Ant-Man, GotG or Thor movie ever made a billion and the only Cap movie to do it was also an Avengers movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m not saying it’s not but it’s funny to see people saying that Captain Marvel is Air Force propaganda because the three things we see the Air Force do in that movie are a) be sexist towards Carol b) accidentally blow her up, and c) do a half assed job covering up that they accidentally blew her up
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the worst when the film is legitimately bad, too. Like, we all pretty much agree Gods of Egypt was a bad movie, but it's still got defenders because they think we're mad about the Black God and not the whole entire cast of White Guys. Even worse is Captain Marvel. It's just a terrible non-plot without any character growth and intrigue, it's the female version of Green Lantern 2011, but unlike Green Lantern we can't all agree it's a bad movie for all the same reasons.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just heard an ad for "The Marvels" that suggested people watch all of Captain Marvel, Wandavision, and Ms. Marvel to prepare. This movie is going to tank hard, and it's going to get blamed on having diverse female leads. Sigh.
neutral · AI labelView post →So casting Rogue *right away* and fairly young (again) for an "X-MEN" franchise that's not going to launch its first movie until 2028 and definitely doesn't have a full cast yet but locked THESE roles early means we know what's happening to Captain Marvel next, huh?

neutral · AI labelView post →Nobody has to feel any way about the MCU than how they want, and nobody has to think The Marvels is gonna be good or bad or anything, but I’m getting uneasy about what seems like a tacit pact between the “lol the MCU is over” film crowd and the rank misogynists who review-bombed Captain Marvel.
neutral · AI labelView post →Supergirl is largely standalone, although with some ties to Superman, but The Marvels (a movie I think is better than Captain Marvel, personally) had TWO ENTIRE TV SHOWS as homework for audiences and also a ton of weird messy smear press about Nia Da Costa right before the premiere.

positive · AI labelView post →When it comes to historical epics, I can’t find any evidence of any big budget historical film other than Disney’s live-action MULAN being made by a woman. Disney/Marvel has a better track record overall, with The Marvels, Eternals, Frozen 2, and Captain Marvel, but that’s 5 out of about 100.

positive · AI labelView post →The film Captain Marvel is set in 1995, and makes great play of using contemporaneous music on the soundtrack. One of the big needle drops is Hole's Celebrity Skin, released in 1998. My brain rejected it as soon as it started playing.
negative · AI labelView post →One of the worst comic con experiences I had was wearing a Captain Marvel shirt to one after the movie came out. Bro, I was a fan before, I just couldn’t find merch then!
negative · AI labelView post →When the Captain Marvel movie came out, I did a bit of a dive into the comic lore. It was interesting to learn that Carol Danvers first appeared as Ms Marvel in 1977, a clearly feminist name at the time. It's cool that the normalization of Ms means Captain Marvel is an obvious better choice now.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nobody, especially no man, will ever tell me that I, Natalia, am a "Captain Marvel hater." I've been here since 2019, cabrón! I love this movie and I hope Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck return to the MCU one day. If not, maybe Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan have a place for them? A girl can dream.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Captain Marvel, the part of the film where Yon-Rogg squares up with her and gives his "defeat me without your power and only your hands" bullshit speech and she blasts him, a woman in the audience shouted "YEAH SUCK A DICK BITCH!" when that happened

positive · AI labelView post →The best parts of Black Adam were Pierce Brosnan and Aldis Hodge. I don’t know why they gave a movie to a minor a Captain Marvel villain.

We’re gonna completely rewrite Sivanna so that he fits in Batman’s rogues though, he’s gonna take the role Hugo Strange usually has
