It's nothing really spectacular. The action is passable, the acting is passable (aside from Samuel L. Jackson, who does an amazing job as always), the music is passable, essentially everything is just passable. I don't necessarily hate anything about this film, besides the clear agenda Marvel pushed here with the "female lead kicks butt so powerful wow" thing. And, while I've yet to see Wonder Woman, I've heard that it does that so much better and more subtly.
Captain Marvel herself isn't really that interesting of a character. I don't know if this is Marvel's fault, or Brie Larson's fault with her wooden performance, or simply both. But a good example is that throughout the film, she's constantly told "hey you shouldn't let your emotions get to you" but we're never really SHOWN that, unless her just using her powers really qualifies as that. I thought the twist with the Skrulls was clever and well done, and I've already praised Sam Jackson, but aside from that this was just a painfully average film.

So, Captain Marvel is okay.

Overall a 7/10
