Welcome to another edition of the “The Valero Verdict” movie review. In this I will give you a quick movie review with a couple of bullet points of which I either liked or disliked. I will end the review with rating of the movie and a short overall thoughts.

On the docket today, Captain Marvel, the HIGHLY anticipated Marvel movie with Brie Larson in the driver seat.

Brie Larson didn’t work for me. She just wasn’t likable at all. I just expected so much more out of her and felt the writing did her no justice at all.

Goose. Enough said.

Ben Mendelsohn – HELLLLLLL TO THE YES!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutley loved this man in this movie, he is extremely fun in this role and love to see him part of the universe.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Brie Larson breaks into her own as the Captain Marvel character to the tune of Gwen Stefani’s “Just a Girl”.

The soundtrack is pure FIRE!!!!!!

The de-aging of Jackson is awesome to see. The editing was perfect. Like all Marvel movies, it was visually stunning.

Favorite Quote: “It’s a cat, not Hannibal Lector”

The Verdict:

** out of ***** stars

I went back and forth with the rating on this, and honestly on a 2nd viewing made me not like it even more.

Larson just didn’t work for me. I never one time cared about her or the character, outside the “I’m Just a Girl” sequence it was just bad.



The soundtrack in this movie was good. The supporting crew was solid but it just couldn’t overcome the best part of the movie was a Cat.



(Also ready for the Goose vs. Rocket showdown)

Should You See It?: This was a rare miss for Marvel. They should’ve done a better job of developing and making you care about Brie Larson.
