Synopsis:

Set in the 1990s, “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that introduces the MCU’s first stand-alone, female-franchise title character—Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel

When we first meet Danvers, she already possesses her superhero powers, having left her earthly life behind, and become a member of an intergalactic elite Kree military team, called Starforce, led by their enigmatic commander, Yon-Rogg. But after Danvers has trained and worked with the Starforce team, and become a valued member­, she finds herself back on Earth with new questions about her past. While on Earth she quickly lands on the radar of Nick Fury, and they must work together against a formidable enemy in the form of the Skrulls—the notorious Marvel bad guys made even more dangerous by their shape-shifting abilities—and their leader, Talos, who is spearheading a Skrull invasion of Earth.

Based on the beloved Marvel comic-book series, first published in 1967, “Captain Marvel” stars:

Marvel Studios’ “Captain Marvel” is produced by Kevin Feige and directed by Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck (“Half Nelson,” “Sugar,” “Mississippi Grind”). Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Jonathan Schwartz, Patricia Whitcher and Stan Lee are the executive producers.

Review:

I'm the first to admit I'm not a huge fan of the Marvel movies. I liked the comics when I was young, but I can take or leave the movies. Misss Grace on the otherhand ADORES all things Marvel, and couldn't wait to see this movie. Which she did when it was at the theatre, so she had a fun time 'leading' me through it. LOL

I loved the opening credit to Stan Lee, it's hard to imagine Marvel without him! I'm thrilled it will be on all of the movies for a while. This is a fun family film, that doesn't really know what it wants to be. Part of it is being serious and true to the comic, and then it tries to me funny and satiric. So you're not sure if you're supposed to be laughing or not. And there are PLENTY of laugh out loud moments, a couple I had NO idea how Brie and Sam kept straight faces! Adults will know a lot of the inside jokes, like the cat's name being Goose, and living with pilots (I can see adults watching and trying to pick out all the inside jokes!). The movie does drag a couple of times, but quickly picks back up and keeps your attention. It's suitable for all the family, and for Marvel fans, it does some tying up, showing how some things came to be, and providing a set up for the recent Avengers movie (if you watch til the very end).

The included bonus features are not to be missed either, especially the gag reel! Miss Grace foudn the director's commentary interesting, to see why they made some of the choices they did.
