    Awful by all means....
    So I skipped seeing this in theaters because the trailer looked bad. Well movie finally came out on digital and I gave it a shot. Wow, what a waste of time.

    1. The chemistry between the three main starts (Monica, Cap Marvel and Ms Marvel) isn't very good. It feels really forced and cheesy. Even with Monica and Cap Marvels connection in the MCU, you didn't really feel the chemistry with Monica as an adult.

    2. So many scenes were pain to watch as they felt very cheesy or just so dumb that it crossed a line. I nearly stopped when they come across a species of people who don't talk, but sing to communicate. It was like watching a never ending musical. So corny that I nearly turned off the movie.

    3. The villian was just so boring that you honestly didn't care. They weren't scary, their acting was awful and you found yourself falling asleep when they were on the screen.

    This movie honestly felt like a made for tv movie, but for maybe preteens or kids. It was cringe and cheesy so often that I lost interest and began looking away from the screen out of bordem. They didn't really fill in much for the characters predicament aside from "OH, you all have the same sort of powers so thus this is why said stuff is happening" Like seriously? Thats it?

    It's ashame because I enjoyed Captain Marvel (the movie) and I loved Monicas growth from that movie and Wanda Vision. As for Ms Marvel, obviously she is meant to target teen girls more then anyone else. But she is kind of a uninteresting character with kind of lame powers. And her acting wasn't exactly great.

    Perhaps the only good thing that came out of this movie was the Flurken (alien cat) scene near the end that I won't ruin. It was kinda cute. And of course the mid credit scene was amazing.

    So would I say to watch this movie? Not really. If you are like me and watch every MCU project to keep up with the story overall, I'd say go look at a synopsis of this movie and save yourself the time. Even at 1 hour and 40+ minutes long, it felt like it wouldn't end. I was already dead inside about 20 minutes in.

    With the exception of Loki Season 2, MCU just continues to spiral down hill. I felt he only hope at even saving it is the X-Men and Fantastic Four being introduced at some point. VERY painful to sit through, who made this?

    Could've been better.
    I will say that I enjoyed the movie more than most. But I also enjoyed Ms Marvel and think Iman Vellani really embodies Kamala. And Kamala and Monica Rambeau are what make the movie enjoyable. Captain Marvel is as she is always portrayed as one note. But their reactions make the movie a bit better. Kamala brings levity to the movie. Something I believe all Comic book movies need. A less serious tone at times. I do believe the movie didn't deserve as much hate as it got. Having said that much of the hate is understandable. They've written Captian marvel into a kinda hole. And Bree Larsons portrayal does nothing to change that.
