Well, I watched it. And it was great! I know there are some assholes who view it as “feminist propaganda”, it’s not. And you don’t have to be a woman to appreciate the message and the journey of this hero. Just like all the other films, comics, and all the other media devices conveying these super hero stories, the key elements are universal.
It’s an origin movie. That said, this is a character that almost no one had any point of reference going into the theater but they told her origin in an interesting way. Using flashbacks and the character herself discovering her origin with us. The origin served to progress the story and did so well.
I’ve been telling everyone to go first chance you get. If you’re waiting for someone else to watch it, don’t. Leave their ass behind and go by yourself if need be. The only thing I tell parents with younger children is that the special effects for the Skrulls transformation might be a bit rough otherwise, as long as they sit through a movie take them. That’s about all I’ve got and it’s taken far too long to finish this. Enjoy the film!
