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.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 24, 2023

That's the stuff that superheroes are made of.

I loved Captain Marvel. It gave me almost everything I wanted and introduced us to an amazing new character. It was fun and inspiring and gave me lots of fuzzy 90s nostalgic feelings.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 8, 2023

That moment where we see Captain Marvel in her full glory punching holes through the sky letting the audience know every girl can fly? That moment Captain Marvel absolutely delivers.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 21, 2023

"Captain Marvel" is a safe movie, but an enjoyable one. As much as I think it could have done more — creatively or politically — to really stand out, what we have here is likable enough.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 11, 2023

Fun reconsiderations of ancient myths and modern mythologies.

While I wouldn’t put “Captain Marvel” in the upper echelon of Marvel movies, it does really well at introducing its character and setting her up to be a major player in the MCU.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2022

The MCU’s Captain Marvel is well-paced, with a handful of moments of strategically placed humor, is solidly acted from start to finish.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022

Unfortunately, the lackluster writing and serviceable production diminish the basic thrills we expect from the MCU, making Captain Marvel a letdown, if only because of its vast potential. It remains diverting, and that's all.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 3, 2022

There's some great visual humor. Once you get on Earth things start picking up.

Despite many redeeming qualities about Captain Marvel, I found it to be a very safe film with slightly heavy-handed elements, which wasn't very exciting.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Sep 3, 2021

This feels like a very by-committee MCU entry. At least they actually shoot in daylight at some honest-to-god recognizable locations in this one.

| Original Score: B | Aug 17, 2021

Carol Danvers takes us on her journey to understanding that her power does not need to be given to her; she can empower herself.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2021

By repeatedly emphasizing resilience, Captain Marvel makes an effective role model for girls and boys alike.

| Jul 22, 2021

Captain Marvel is a winner on all fronts, offering an exciting, engrossing standalone story while putting its stamp on the overarching MCU saga.

| Jul 13, 2021

Good Marvel formula, with some genuinely surprising twists and strong action, but a familiar groove nonetheless.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 29, 2021

Larson plays [Captain Marvel] with dignity and has a lot of charisma. [Full review in Spanish]

| Apr 26, 2021

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

| Mar 12, 2021

This nonlinear narrative adds interest beyond your typical origin story, but it's quickly overwhelmed by the same shtick that's in all these movies-uncompelling action sequences, recycled villains and flat direction.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 8, 2021
