Directed by: Anne Boden and Ryan Fleck. They also get the main writing credits for the story and screenplay, but IMDb informs me that Geneva Robertson-Dworet should also be listed, as well as, Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve for story credits. It is all based on the comic book, “Kree-Skrull War” (originally Avengers #89-97) by Roy Thomas, published in 1971. So, yeah, I finally watched Captain Marvel last night! There were some things that I didn’t understand due to lack of context of the Marvel universe (because I haven’t seen all of their movies or read the comics) and some references were probably lost to me, but, it was still a fun film and I would recommend it! It was extremely dorky, had some great (very funny) dialogue, and lots of not graphic violence (lots of lasers). I found some eerily modern (but not new) connections to our political atmosphere in the movie. That made it additionally interesting. SummaryHopefully no spoilers! Vers- pronounced: veers- (Brie Larson), never actually called Captain Marvel in the film, is in the middle of the war. She doesn’t have any memories past the last six years of her life on a planet named Hala with the Kree. The only relationship of hers that is shown on Hala is with a mentor-figure named Yon-Rogg (Jude Law). Soon, she ends up on Earth- excuses me, planet C-53- and runs into some of her old memories. Well, first she runs into S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), but people call him Fury. Then, together, Vers and Fury track down Marie Rambeau (Lashana Lynch) looking for some answers. Okay spoiler that you should see coming very early on: everything she thought she knew was a LIE! Also Marie has an eleven-year-old daughter named Monica (Akira Akbar) who loves Vers and is super cute. I’m mentioning her because she was definitely my favorite character. Scored Breakdown:
