I was happily ignorant of the lure of the make-believe fantasy world of Marvel and DC before I watched Wonder Woman and Black Panther. My girls forced me to watch these however, and soon they didn’t have to force me anymore. Soon, I was a willing participant in my own downfall; a never-ending journey down the Marvel-DC rabbit hole. I now know all about the Avengers (my girls, of course, scoff at this claim) and even that there are two Captain Marvels!
The movie Captain Marvel has released and is in theatres today; on International Women's Day as it was pointed out to me. MARVEL
People are excited about the first ever standalone Captain Marvel film. Many went dressed for the occasion. Some have already watched it more than once. Some plan to watch it several times more in days to come.
We see Samuel L Jackson – who has a dedicated fan following within the superhero universe –.in this film.
She is Captain Marvel and people are loving her. Just to be clear, the movie also has a Captain Mar-vell played by Jude Law.
Several people on Twitter have spoken about the movie's intro as being special and moving.
The intro is a tribute to the late Stan Lee; creator of the superhero universe that so many love and live in today.
Apparently, these are spoilers. I got zilch from this, but that’s just me.
Many viewers loved the film and thought it was entertaining, touching, funny, inspiring. Of course, it could just be the diehard Marvel fans who think this way.
Inevitably, this movie is being compared with the benchmark-setting Wonder Woman. While some people feel that Captain Marvel doesn’t quite get to the level of the Gal Gadot starrer, others feel that the opposite is true.
If you know anything about superhero movies you know that they make you wait eagerly after the end of the movie; for any hints or crumbs of info they may decide to throw our way. So apparently the post credit scene lived up to expectations and people now have their hopes pinned on the Avengers Endgame movie that releases next month.
