I enjoyed it, but I thought it took a while to get into top gear.

Pros:
- Brie Larson is great. The thing I loved most is that there was a full sequence of her just cutting loose and really enjoying her new powers. I feel like there’s isnt enough of that from female superheroes, as if filmmakers are frightened to show exuberance. It was great to see.
- Ben Mendehlson is great. Not much else to say, just really enjoyed his performance. I’ve never seen him in anything bad.
- the cat
- Jude Law following Kurt Russell’s lead and playing toxic masculinity incarnate was great, and he pulls off slimy and arrogant really well.
- The setting was really nostalgic and well done.
- I didn’t really notice the anti-ageing CGI on Sam Jackson.
- The space scenes look magnificent, as always. I want more from the MCU galactic stuff

Cons
- I really noticed the CGI on Lee Pace and also a bit on Coulson
- as I said, the movie was a little slow to hit its stride. It was a little janky before they got into the Pegasus base
- I would’ve liked to see a bit more of Hala
- Also Starforce are under-utilised, especially Minn-Erva

When it clicked though, it really strawberry floating clicked. I’ll see this a few more times.

I enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would having never been a fan of Carol as Ms. Marvel and not seeing much from her run as Captain Marvel. I did feel Brie was a little too soft-spoken at first but she was fantastic in the role and it was great seeing her interaction with younger versions of some characters. I want more Carol and Fury adventures, damn it!.

Carol growling back at one of the Skrull.

Loved
That Stan Lee rewrite of the Marvel logo at the beginning was utterly brilliant
The cat - looks just like one of my cats
Larson - really owned the character
Fury - the de-ageing was very well done, I'd say maybe better than GOTG2 as Fury had so much screen time and it never looked odd (like Coulson did on a couple of occasions)
Head Skrull - top notch performance
The tie up with GOTG, though it did make Jude Law's character pretty obviously evil from early on
The comedy was pretty good, fitted naturally with The character and never seemed forced
The 1st post credit was awesome, even more pumped for Endgame now
Annette Bening - still looks hot

Not so keen
Thought the soundtrack wasn't that great aside from Celebrity Skin kicking off the credits
Didn't think Jude Law was that great
Would have liked more Coulson but only with better cgi
Couldn't work out the Tesseract time line
