Captain Marvel is the first Marvel Studios movie based entirely on a female superhero and it's a total blast.
The screenplay perfectly captures the state of mind of this young woman, who feels like she doesn't belong in her current life and who yearns for bigger things.
It also masterfully inserts the story of one of Marvel's greatest and strongest superheroes into the larger MCU timeline, placing it in 1995, way before almost any of the other well-known superheroes we have become so familiar with even emerged.
Casting the excellent Brie Larson turned out to be a great choice. Jude Law, Annette Bening, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, and Gemma Chan also are great, and it's a real treat to see Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg visually rejuvenated to play the roles we've come to love them in, but when they were just starting out discovering all these outer space beings and threats.
THE BOTTOM LINE: A fun and cool story that's also an origin one for this great character, fantastic visual effects, and great acting. What more can one ask for?!
Grade: 9.5
