My review? In one word: disappointing.
Brie Larson's acting is very VERY wooden. I don't know if she lacks real acting skills or if this is way the director wanted her to do it, but man, was she bad.
The story itself was convoluted, confusing, and had plotholes big enough to drive a Kree warship through. I'm more confused now than ever about the timeline of the Tesseract. The Skrulls were criminally underused. They're not a devious, sly race that's a threat to the universe, instead they're.....victims.
Two big action fight scenes were so dark I couldn't tell who was punching who or who was getting thrown where.
Many characters, especially among the alien races, remain nameless, interchangeable figures in the background. And they're not always easy to tell apart.
Annette Benning couldn't save this movie. Jude Law couldn't save this movie. Hell, Nick Fury and Agent Caulsen themselves couldn't save this movie!
There were a few little things thrown in for the comic book fans (Project Pegasus, the little girl Monica Rambeau and who she'd become), but by and large....it's a dud.
There were TWO really good things about this:
1) all the music was from the 90s (when the movie took place). It was great to hear the soundtrack of my 20s again.
2) this movie proved what I always knew about cats... I mean, flerkens!
The movie as very light, not very humorous (although it tried) and not really fun or interesting.
Still, if you've seen all the other Marvel movies, and want to see the Avengers movie next month, go see it. You'll need to see and know what's going on.
But honestly, this movie is on par with Thor 2 or Iron Man 2. I know Marvel can't bat 1000 every time, and but this movie surely ranks as one of the worst Marvel has produced.
Sadly.
