I watch a lot of movies but rarely leave reviews. I'm easily entertained but this one missed the mark for me. The high ratings just made me feel like it was more than it was. I love Zendaya and I love tennis but I'll probably never watch this again. I loved the flashbacks, I preferred them in fact. The soundtrack wasn't for me. The actors were good but none of the characters are likable. The ending was disappointing and made me feel like I waisted my time. Brought my 14 year old and she felt uncomfortable with the mature scenes so maybe for older teens. All in all, it's an okay movie but nothing spectacular.

Captain Marvel
(2019)
The movie is genuinely fantastic
10 March 2019
Me and my 9 year old are huge Marvel fans and we've seen them all. I am aware of the backlash surrounding what the main actress said (which was taken way out of context fyi)- I went in to see the movie with an open mind and with low expectations considering some of the negactive reviews.
We were absolutely blown away by this movie. I loved everything about it. I was a teenager in the 90's so the whole 90's feel and the soundtrack just added to the positive experience. Brie Larson was fantastic in the role and it's definitely the best Marvel movie I've seen in a while. It was well written, it was clever, it wasn't predictable, it had twists and turns, it had humor. It was fun, which is what I like my superhero movies to me. This is the female superhero my daughters have been waiting for. They didn't care about DC's Wonder Woman as the movie was too dark and drawn out for them, but this movie and this superhero really resonated with them. My 9 year old daughter's face was pure glee throughout the movie and she's begging me to go see it again. I didn't think she needed a female led Marvel movie but maybe she did. Ignore the super negative reviews and go see it for yourself.
