The One With Captain Marvel

Last night, we were able to enjoy the advance tickets we bought to Captain Marvel earlier in the week. The key figure who will play a main role in Avengers Endgame, Carole Danvers (hey our town's namesake), had to be introduced, and this move did not disappoint.

First, it was definitely a FOUR STAR movie. The action, the pace, and the story-line were clever. It was a little hard to follow at first as we are plunged into a science fiction story that is a little displaced, but once the dust settles, it is easy to understand in a clear, cohesive manner.

The story is fun, action-packed, and enjoyable. It is standard Marvel flair with a little twist. It helps to explain some of the different nuances in the Avengers storylines, from where the name of the Avengers comes from to the discovery of the Tesseract, and the reason Nick Fury has an eyepatch. 

Even more incredible was the use of CGI to make Nick Fury and Agent Coulson young. AMAZING! Captain Marvel was captivating and an interesting character and we learn where the pager came from the Nick Fury uses to page her at the and of Infinity Wars. 

And make sure to stick to the end for two neat little end previews, including one to rev us up for Avengers:Endgame.

Oh, and one other nice thing - they have a great little intro to honor Stan Lee. May he rest in pace. For all you Marvel fans, this is a must see.
