More pics!
Saw it again this week. Still a pretty good film.
Not great but good.
Larson was fine playing the unemotional Veers, and did a passable job on converting to the emotional Danvers.

I agree, though for me I liked the film much better than I thought I would; I actually liked Larson in the role. The power sets Captain Marvel portrays is what I've been wanting to see in a live action movie, just seeing her flying through and blasting energy projections made me giddy and feel joy like a little kid.
Apologies, I'm hyped up about the movie, admittedly. I've been expressing my enthrallment by sharing quite a few pictures (albeit I was hoping it would be received humorously). I'd no intent to condone or be a part of any spiteful confabulation, just wanted to offload pics of CM as part of the topic.

Yeah. No super hero ever has flown around shooting energy out of their hands. It's so novel and original and unique I literally saw nine people's heads explode in the theater cause their tiny brains couldn't process something so new and exciting.
Just kidding....I'd never watch this steaming dog turd of a movie.
I really think she was better in this movie as a character than she was at Endgame. Makes sense too, since Endgame was shot first. This movie does suffer from the directors' inexperience though. Also, some of the lighting was off (some scenes were too dark), but that could just be my theater.
Any new films with female leads you do like?????

I think Larson was awesome, the movie was pretty darn good and I enjoyed her part in End Game.
Do we care? He said he'd never watch it, so based on that one would conclude that he's forming his opinion on hearsay (if anything at all). Unless he meant to say he'd never watch it again.

I've seen more than enough footage from bootlegs used in reviews to know that I despise this film.
As to any recent movies with a female lead that I like? Well....doubt it, cause I don't think I've truly been impressed by a movie's ingenuity in about 15 years or so. Now more than ever movies are just products with no artistic or poetic integrity. People tell me to just "turn your brain off and enjoy the spectacle." That's like saying "just get so drunk you can't think anymore and you'll laugh at anything." Spectacle? What spectacle? Rubbery, shiny, fake looking CGI people defying physics against a rubbery, fake, CGI looking background while all kinds of cut and pasted bad guy alien/robot/bugs zoom around the screen? That's a video game. That's a cartoon. I don't think that's a spectacle and sure as hell don't consider that a movie.
TL;DR

I still think it's a bit unfair to despise a movie without actually viewing it (and I think you'd find there's actually a bit more to this one than the CGI "spectacle"), but as right now you seem predisposed to dislike this type of film in general I guess your jumping to that conclusion is (for you) probably valid. Regardless, I feel obliged to give you props for the self awareness / self deprecation.
Brie Larson was fine in this movie since she behaved exactly the way the script presented her. What kept it mired in mediocrity was the lackluster direction.
Keep your posts coming. It's of the main character and totally relevant since it's been barely a month since blu ray release and 6 months since movie release.

I can respect that.

But, but, when what's her job? I dunno where I saw it, or even agree, but some reviewer pointed out that a fair number of RDJ's lines, said by anyone else, are kind of banal. But he takes the lines and spins them and does something amazing.
IMO she's just a miscast. Wrong person in the part; and doesn't even have a decent fierce glare. You gotta know ur limits on a job. IMO it's the MCU's first major trip, along with the writers.
I still love the "Area 51" vibe of the scene where Fury and Danvers investigate the Air Force facility and the whole Fury vs. Talos (in disguise as Keller) fight.
