We meet Lashana Lynch’s Maria Rambeau in the film’s second half, and it’s neat that Rambeau and Danvers’ friendship is the closest thing this movie has to a love story (aside from implicit flirtations in an initial training scene between Larson and Law, this is a rather sexless movie). Their interplay isn’t quite as aggressively hysterical as Jackson and John Cusack in 1408, but the movie is at its best when Larson and Jackson are just chatting with each other. “Black don’t crack” notwithstanding, Jackson has aged about 47 minutes since Loaded Weapon 1. Jackson is de-aged back to his Negotiator days, and while the effort is admirable, it’s also arguably unnecessary. Annette Bening also plays a small but crucial role. Ben Mendelsohn is delightfully cast against type, while Jude Law offers a complicated turn as a reluctant mentor. Pairing her with Nick Fury was a smart choice, as the Murtaugh/Riggs chemistry makes much of the exposition go down smoothly.
Larson is sardonic, droll and quite the smart-ass. That being said, the movie is a success as a character piece. As is often a problem with prequels, especially prequels that tell previously-unknown events, we know nothing too important can happen because nobody has ever mentioned the events in question. While Captain Marvel is 99.99% stand-alone within its 112-minute (plus credits) runtime, it does feel like retroactive storytelling shoe-horned to clarify the big picture. It exists primarily to introduce the Skrulls and the Kree into the MCU, to offer a (potential) deus ex machina to resolve Avengers: Endgame and to finally get at least one solo female-led MCU movie (and solo MCU female superhero) into the universe before whatever becomes of the post- Endgame status quo. With a screenplay courtesy of Boden, Fleck and Geneva Robertson-Dworet and a story from those folks along with Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman, Captain Marvel is mostly table-setting. If you’re thinking Universal Soldier or Masters of the Universe or, yes, the first Thor, you have the right idea. After a banger sci-fi-freaky first reel (including some thematically challenging flashbacks) which seems to be playing in the Star Wars mysticism sandbox (as opposed to the pure sci-fi swashbuckling), the Anna Boden/Ryan Fleck-directed origin story crashes onto Earth and then mostly spends its time in small town sets and small-scale locations. The most 1990s thing about it is the scale.
Warts and all, it feels like a Phase One flick that got aired out of order from somewhere between Iron Man 2 and Thor. As someone who liked Alita: Battle Angel mostly because I loved Alita, that’s a valid pass/fail benchmark.Ĭaptain Marvel, based on Kelly Sue DeConnick and Dexter Soy’s “Danvers as Chuck Yeager” 2012 arc, feels more generic and more perfunctory than the last several MCU movies. If you show up to watch Brie Larson be awesome as Captain Marvel, you’ll get your money’s worth. Fun fact: Iron Man isn’t nearly as good as Robert Downey Jr.’s performance as Tony Stark, and the MCU has thrived by prioritizing the charisma and charm of their title heroes.
That the movie isn’t as good as its leading lady isn’t necessarily a fatal flaw. To the extent that a movie like Wonder Woman or Alita (or Deadpool) works because we enjoy the star attraction, Captain Marvel gives the MCU an exciting variation of one of its more popular female characters. To answer the $150 million question, Brie Larson is entirely entertaining as the title character.
