The chemistry between Larson and Lynch propels the last half of the movie; Lynch brings depth, love, and believability to Maria.

Seattle Times

"Captain Marvel" has things going for it that elevate it a bit above the pack and provide more cultural oomph and import, but despite that, this is also a Marvel movie that feels like another Marvel movie.

Rated: B

I like this character and I like this movie. Bri [Larson] is a square-jawed badass.

Just for Movie Freaks

Captain Marvel fails in setting up its own universe and lacked imagination and intrigue. A passable and a forgettable origin film!

Rated: 2.5/5

I had a lot of fun with the film, and thought Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson were fantastic with great chemistry.

There’s not a memorable fight scene, an emotionally overwhelming moment, or even a genuinely bone-chilling, epic scene (...) Everything is just… fine. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But there’s also nothing extraordinary.

Rated: B-
