The Good: The movie takes place in 1995 and is a great piece of nostalgia for that. The inclusion of Blockbuster and Radio Shack, combined with the soundtrack is perfect. Seeing Carol kick major ass to No Doubt's I'm Just a Girl was perfection. Like other MCU flicks the fight scenes were well choreographed and the action is spectacular. The effects were crisp. Brie Larson has a great confidence and snark to her, which makes her a perfect Carol. Ben Mendelsohn was phenomenal as the Skrull, Talos. I really liked the character. As always Samuel L. Jackson was great as Fury. I particularly enjoyed his portrayal in this flick because he was younger and more fun loving. Lashana Lynch and Akira Akbar did a wonderful job as Maria and Monica Rambeau. There were very likable supporting characters and added some extra heart to the film. Clark Gregg is a younger agent Coulson and has a small but important role. Finally, as much as I hated seeing everyone saying that Goose the Cat steals every scene he's in... he absolutely does.
The Bad: This film makes a major change from how things are typically portrayed in the comics. I know this is a point of contention for some folks, but it didn't bother me at all. The MCU has been doing it's own thing for a while.
Final Thoughts: This was not the greatest Marvel movie I've seen, but it's a solid mid card title. I'd give it a 4 out of 5.
