'Captain Marvel' movie review — A 90s origin story throwback
Captain Marvel features Brie Larson as the first lead female superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as she a young Nick Fury solve the mystery of her identity.
One sentence review: Captain Marvel is a fun, corny, and empowering origin story that feels like a bridge between the past and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
One paragraph review: Captain Marvel harkens back to the MCU origin stories that kicked off this wave of superhero movies — and that's a good thing. It's smaller, tighter, and more character driven than the other movies in the franchise, even if it feels non-essential. It also helps that Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson have firecracker chemistry and are supported by a stellar cast — Ben Mendelsohn and Lashana Lynch are standouts.
Where to watch Captain Marvel: Available to buy or rent on Amazon.
