By Abby Koch–<\/strong>A combination of Brie Larson, alien cats, and 90\u2019s culture\ncomprises the brand new Marvel movie, Captain Marvel. Larson stars as Vers (aka\nCarol Danvers aka Captain Marvel,) who is searching to end the Skrull and\nfigure out her memory problems. Of course, the beginning conflicts in any\nMarvel movies are never what they seem and it takes a hero to find the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larson brings Captain Marvel to life with her sassy\nportrayal of the superhero and dominance in action scenes. She shows a very\npositive depiction of a female hero with how she acts. Larson has a certain\nswagger about her that she brings to the character that you fall in love with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Even so, there are\nmoments where there is a strange shift in Larson\u2019s character from sassy to\nserious that it doesn\u2019t fit what she is saying about herself. This shift feels\ndisjointed to the initial sassy character that it disconnects the flow of her\npersonality when she becomes serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samuel L. Jackson reprises his role as Nick Fury and plays a\ngood counterpart to Larson. Jackson shines in this movie with how he plays a\nyounger and na\u00efve version of Fury. The banter between Jackson and Larson made\nthe film feel like a buddy cop movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of technical aspects, the makeup for the Skrull\ndoes seem a bit rubbery and awkward for actors like Ben Mendelsohn. Mendelsohn,\nwho plays the Skrull general Talos, makes his character one of the most liked\ndespite audiences seeing the actor struggle to annunciate lines. All of the\nSkrull characters are a bit difficult to understand what they are saying because\nof the prosthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the scenes in movie are very dark and it is hard to\nsee what is happening. This becomes a frustrating occurrence because it tends\nto happen during action scenes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origin story of Captain Marvel Story is not one of the\nstrongest in the Marvel lineup. There are a few bumps in the storyline of the\nmovie as the audience watches but her origin story is memorable with how it is\na different take on the start of a new superhero. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Marvel makes sure that the audience knows that they\nare watching a female empowerment movie with the combination of its soundtrack and\nline delivery. The combination is a bit cringeworthy in moments, especially\nwith some of the song choices paired with fight scenes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Marvel is an enjoyable movie overall and has\nsomething that everyone can enjoy. It is not the best in the Marvel lineup but\nit probably stands in the top ten. I give Captain Marvel 7\/10 flerkins. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
