Captain Marvel

I don’t normally go to see all the superhero movies at the cinema. The Scientist and one or both boys have gone and I waited to watch on dvd. But last year when I didn’t go see Black Panther at the cinema, things got a bit tricky. The Avengers movie came out a month later and the guys all went to see that too. They were desperate for me to see it after that because they wanted to discuss and they ended up seeing it again so that I wouldn’t have spoilers. This year it’s a similar situation with Captain Marvel and the second part of the Avenger’s movie.

So we all went to see it last Friday and it was really good. I will be honest and say I knew almost nothing of the character aside from it being a woman. But the story presented was quite good and I love the way there were such strong female characters. She’s almost too good, far stronger than any of the other superhero characters. I guess that goes some way to offsetting the limited number of female superheros out there. There are actually three women in the film that are significant to the story and all of them are strong women. Impressive!
