Captain Marvel (2019)

despite being a 'middle of the road' Ant-man quality flick.

And you know this because you’ve seen it? Oh wait, you’ve already said you aren’t going to, so you’re basing this on what? YouTube reviews?

Ideal situation for me because I want to see Avengers Endgame succeed and outdo Infinity War, perhaps dethroning Last Jedi's box office.

For someone who has said previously you don’t really care about Star Wars, you sure want it to be toppled. Maybe you could find something productive to do with your time as opposed to tearing things down you don’t like.
 
At a certain point, doesn't arguing with this kind of stance just make you exhausted? Can't we all just focus on something more positive for a little while?

It does. It just gets frustrating to see such blatant misinterpretation of facts.

Still, in an effort to steer the conversation to good thoughts, CM is projected to make $350 million globally. Not a huge number but respectable.
 
the movie looks like another generic mcu movie, the reviews are pointing that out , wonder what the reaction would have been like if it was a male lead and a non mcu flick
 
Did you see it, otherwise your opinion is worthless.

Well I said ''looks like and from the reviews''?

Though it is not that hard to predict how mcu movies turn out, most of them tend to be generic and formulaic if the reviews are saying this is another one as such, high chances are it is true.
 
Most of the reviews have not been overly positive or negative. Kind of middle of the road. People seem to like Lynch and Mendleston in the movie. The Captain Marvel character hasn't been loved much in many of the reviews I have seen but people do like her and Samuel Jackson together almost like a buddy cop movie. The 90's stuff is better than the space stuff. Also one thing I keep hearing is it feels more like Phase 1 Marvel movie than some of the later more jokey movies but still with some of the rough edges you had before the MCU blew up after "Avengers."

Whether or not that is true to me I don't know. I still look forward to seeing it when I can.

I liked it but most of that still sounds fairly accurate.

I personally don't see "just another MCU movie" as an inherent negative, but I can understand why some do. I definitely enjoyed the second half of the film more than the first for what it's worth.
 
Remember that the same manbabies also freaked out about how SheRa was pro-woman and that she no longer looked like masturbation fodder. She’s a young teenager and it was exclusively created for little girls.
Meg Foster would have been great in Bening's part just for her eyes. Whether as Evil-Lyn or Hera on Xena, or even the alien woman, Minonee, on the Six Million Dollar Man she can play inhuman.

Me neither. The only MCU movie I don't like that really like much is Ed Norton's Hulk movie. The second Thor movie was kind of dodgy as well along with Iron Man 2 but if sat down and watched all 3 of those movies I know it wouldn't be a choir because they still have enough cool or fun stuff in them to make it worth the time. Even the bad MCU is a galaxy away from stuff like " Superman 4:The Quest for Peace."

yep, it sounds mixed. reason the movie having an 83% should not be the case. 50% feel more accurate for mixed. but the movie is getting a pass because of gender politics and because disney has influence.

remember this is what is going on with the reviews. this is not my personal reviews about the movie. if this was not an mcu movie trust me when i say the score will be rotten right now. since most movies with mixed reactions dont still get a pass

I hope they give Carol's musical score more punch in Avengers.
