How do you evaluate the movie "Captain Marvel"?

Watching "Captain Marvel", it is inevitable that people will think of "Wonder Woman", which all have female superheroes as the protagonists.

However, the character of Captain Marvel is not well written, the character’s growth arc is too flat, and there is a lack of highlight moments.

What is a highlight moment?

Wonder Woman witnessed the tragedy in no man's land and fought against the German machine gun array. This was the highlight moment. For that I can forgive Wonder Woman's shoddy third act. At the end of "Captain Marvel", Carol awakens and explodes, blocking missiles and demolishing the spaceship with her bare hands. It's cool, but the battle in no man's land is because Wonder Woman witnessed the injustice of war, experienced a depression, and finally understood the justice. Rising up, a U-shaped arc. Captain Marvel became popular because of "finding himself" and did not experience similar setbacks in reshaping his outlook on life. In addition, "Captain Marvel" uses "amnesia jokes", the characters are completely pushed by events, lack of initiative, and the explosive content is suspected of being explosive.

After "Wonder Woman" became popular, James Cameron criticized Wonder Woman's revealing and sexy clothing, which was essentially male-dominated consumption, and there was a bloody war on the Internet. Regardless of whether Cameron's point of view is correct or not, Captain Marvel's whole body is covered tightly, not to mention his thighs, even his shoulders are not exposed. No one is talking about "men's consumption" this time, right? Wonder Woman has an emotional line, which has been criticized by female viewers. Wonder Woman’s awakening due to love is essentially the traditional “male enlightenment/rescuing women” route, or the “male-dominated” approach. Captain Marvel has no emotional line at all, but it lacks a way to create a character. You can see that Marvel’s “stable” character is at the forefront, and no one can be offended—perhaps the casting of Brie Larson is to dilute the “sexy” symbol; the cost is that the protagonist’s shaping and portrayal lacks highlights.

Carol has very few "feminine characteristics". To put it bluntly, "You are a woman, so you can't do it well" in the memory fragments can be regarded as an echo of female identity, but at the end of the film The reason for the explosion is that "recognizing/identifying one's female identity" is too far-fetched. How to make a movie reflect the theme of "women/feminism" without offending people is really difficult... Forget it, I'll just watch "Orphans of Earthsea" again. The script greatly affects the performance of the actors. As the saying goes: "Without sound, no matter how good the play is, it will not come out."

Actors, works, and roles are inseparable, and honor and loss are related to success. As a beautiful vase, Gal Gadot is a disaster in literary dramas. She often stares and frowns, and reacts inappropriately to scenes. Thanks to the high degree of completion of the character in the script of "Wonder Woman", coupled with the director's photography knowing how to make her action scenes look good, Wonder Woman's successful image makes people ignore Gal Gadot's acting skills. And Brie Larson is a movie queen, so when faced with this script and this role, she naturally couldn't show her energy. I don’t know if it was affected by the script, but her acting style was not quite right. She was too calm and could not bring out the passion of the Marvel movies. Samuel Jackson, who was familiar with the movie, was obviously more open-minded than her.

Except for the shortcomings in the portrayal of the heroine, "Captain Marvel" is quite satisfactory. The script is smoothly connected, the rhythm is appropriate, and the laughter is appropriately interspersed. There is also a plot reversal arranged in the movie - who gave the false news that Qiu Hua will play the first generation of Captain Marvel? It's a pity that the publicity said that Ronan would return, and the expectations were high. It turned out that it was just a formality, without even swinging the hammer, and Li Peipei's long legs were blinded!!

"Captain Marvel" is a transitional chapter. Everyone knows I understand, but the transition is too casual. Marvel's first female superhero protagonist film is mediocre to the level of the "Ant-Man" series, and the character is even less attractive than Ant-Man. Apart from some laughs and cats, the film has almost no highlights, but you can't help but watch it for "Avengers 4" . If "Captain Marvel" is going to be a series, we will have to wait and see whether it can be as successful as the "Captain America" ??and "Thor" series.
