Captain Marvel
SCORE: 71
Long time readers know I am into super
hero movies. I also have an education into the comic books. I remember
reading about Captain Marvel in the 80s. I was shocked and dismayed to
see he died from cancer. I also know a lot of the Marvel movies have
gone back to the origins on the characters. I was excited to see the
original Captain Marvel in this movie. Sadly the best Captain Marvel was
not included in this movie. Instead we get Carol Danvers.
If you can put aside the history of the character, this movie is
actually decent. I was cringing expecting to see all kinds of attacks on
men in Captain Marvel. I was worried Captain Marvel would be part of the
vicious, cruel, and evil war on men. There are some anti-male moments in
Captain Marvel. Thankfully they are light. Just like the bad language.
There is more blood and violent content found within Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel includes a few moments of theft, as well as breaking and
entering. These crimes are glossed over and not dealt with. Earth and
humans are trashed in Captain Marvel. Shield plays a major role in this
movie. We learn all about the Kree and Skrulls in Captain Marvel. This
movie presents a very one sided opinion of that conflict. Captain Marvel
teaches about the human spirit, determination and perseverance. We fall
down and get back up again.
The humorous moments keep Captain Marvel light in certain situations.
The setting of the 1990s in Captain Marvel is interesting indeed. It
reminded me why I preferred the 80s over the 90s personally. Family
Friendly Gaming was provided the Blu-ray + Digital Code version of
Captain Marvel. The bonus content is Deleted Scenes, Gag Reel, Big Hero
Moment, The Origin of Nick Fury, The Skrulls and the Kree, Audio
Commentary, and more.
It took us 124 minutes to watch Captain Marvel. There are two little
scenes in the credits of this movie. The first is more interesting than
the second in my opinion because the second was expected. The disc we
received had a scratch from production and stopped working in one of our
Blu-ray players. Thankfully we had another player that would still play
this movie without errors. Even with that problem I enjoyed this movie
more than I expected to. Captain Marvel would make a nice advertiser or
sponsor for Family Friendly Gaming.
