Captain Marvel - Kritiken

Larson and Jackson play off each other beautifully, trading snappy banter and affectionate zingers with ease.

This is an engaging and sometimes engagingly odd superhero action movie...

...at crunch time it delivers in a more satisfying way than almost any other superhero film of recent years.

...once Captain Marvel starts to grasp her powers and untangle her past, the film soars, delivering in terms of epic action and emotional resonance.

...the easy, breezy comedic chemistry between Larson and Jackson is both hilarious and adds real stakes to the action.

While this amounts to pretty standard Marvel fare, Captain Marvel benefits from an exceptional cast.

With an everywoman charm, Larson quickly convinces viewers that she's the right woman to be Marvel's most powerful superhero...

Captain Marvel manages to take the best ideas of early MCU origin stories like Iron Man and Thor and use them to form something that feels both familiar and fresh.

...vrager den klassisk lineære origin-story til fordel for et anderledes interessant og visuelt eksperimenterende puslespilsmysterium, der sender vor hovedperson på eksistentialistisk skattejagt på Jorden.

...'Captain Marvel' er ikke en actiontung superhelt højtidelighed, som andre af dens forgængere. Den er en lille indie-film om en ung kvinde, der skal finde sig selv, sine indre kræfter, sin plads i verdenen.
