Captain Marvel
On the day of its release, I spontaneously went to go see Captain Marvel. I knew that I would go to see this movie in theaters eventually. Usually, I go some time opening weekend, but having the day off and the fact that coincidentally it was International Women’s Day just seemed to align in a way that told me to just go and see it.
I knew that I wanted to support the first female-led MCU movie. Being a lifelong superhero fan, I’ve seen very few women headlining such a film. However, I didn’t want to like the movie just because the main character is a woman.
I was relieved to discover that the movie is good. It may not be Wonder Woman good, but it’s definitely not deserving of the backlash that certain groups are unleashing on the film in an attempt to see it fail.
So, I set out to support it however I could. That meant posting a positive score on Rotten Tomatoes for the first time. I also set out to write my HubPages review with as little emphasis on gender as possible. I wanted it to be unbiased, noting both its strengths and weaknesses.
My Marvel opinions
My favorite installments in the MCU are not always the most popular. I prefer Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to the original. I prefer Age of Ultron to The Avengers. My most controversial opinion, though, is my belief that Iron Man 3 is the best Iron Man film. Even worse is that I feel that the first Iron Man is the weakest movie in the franchise.
Clearly, I get something different from the Infinity Saga than most fans. And I use my blogging platform to utilize the space that I have to explain myself. Whatever small part I can play to break up the prejudiced campaign against this film and give credit where credit is due, I will play it.
So, please check out my review on HubPages. If you’ve seen the movie, leave your honest but unprejudiced thoughts in the comments: My Review of Captain Marvel (2019).
