**Warning, might have some potential spoilers**
Watched the movie last night - for the record I was super hyped for this movie and was scared after all the backlash right before made the movie mediocre - and I thought it was ****ing amazing. A million times better than Black Panther for me and an aspect why is because all of the sci-fi aspects of it. Brie, though an idiot for making controversial remarks right before the movie release, was simply fantastic. Actually, I thought Jude Law was freakin' amazing and his performance is very underrated heading into the flick. Really enjoyed how unique the movie went, you thought it was her losing her memories, falling to earth with strange power, and getting all of them back. But I thought the directors did a fantastic job showcasing her memory bank during sequences where the Skrull needed information to find their people (very good job here).
An aspect I quite enjoyed is that a lot of sci-fi futures really reminded me of Destiny if anybody ever played that game: Skrull were like the Fallen, Kree would be like evil Guardians, the Kree Super Intelligence was like the Vex, and Captain Marvel was normal Guardians fighting to protect Traveller's "light". The music and 90s scenes were just so awesome, but I really wish the score was more futuristic similar to Tron instead of full on orchestral pieces. The movie also had an immersive (and impressive) amount of humour where it was conducted at perfect times throughout the film. Lastly, Marvel and Fury's character relationship could be the best we've seen so far, yes even over Thor/Hulk and GotG.
One part I am confused about concerning my Marvel comic book friends here since I never read the comic books is that the Skrull were just as bad as the Kree, no? Were they ever the "good guys" just wanting to live in piece because the directors made them really apologetic?
The movie wasn't perfect though, the Ronin scene of him coming and then leaving like it was some sort of fastfood restaurant did not fit at all. All the Nick Fury and cat scenes were super dumb as I thought they were going to be heading into the movie. The space cat scratching his eye was the most anti-climatic scene considering how badass of a character Nick Fury was (it should've been a Kree blast and one of the alien cat arms taking out his eye). Also, I think Captain Marvel should've been more "alien" to Earth in her customs and mannerisms, but I get that the Kree are a super advanced civilization.
Everything else I loved and honestly it was a space version of Dr. Stranges for me (while Stranges was more multi-dimensions). I think Marvel has done a fantastic job starting the universe off slow and adding more sci-fi elements to it and expand it to what we have now. I don't know if I would've liked this movie if it was released back with Iron Man 2 and Thor instead of now.
