Went with my wife and I’ll admit, considering the bad press fit it going into the movie, we were pleasantly surprised, and both enjoyed it!
The quantum entanglement of their powers was a genuinely cool and tangible way to bring the galaxy-faring Colossus that is captain Marvel to give a damn about a street level young hero like Ms Marvel.
Nia DaCosta wanted to make the shortest MCU movie, and while the movie didn’t outstay its welcome, it definitely could’ve been longer. The singing planet was weird, but a fun, GotG weird, and definitely needed more screentime, e.g. having Darr Benn try to parlay with them in the medium of song (kind of how Star Lord and Ronan had a dance off lol!)
IMO It was a decent enough plot; it’s getting harder and harder to create a “the world is ending” storyline without treading old ground, but it held up nicely. It might’ve been cooler for them to happen upon a planet that’s already dead to really convey the stakes to the viewer, and they really should have tried harder to save Aladna
Darr Benn being able to hold off the three Marvels did break my immersion a little; even with being able to absorb the energy via the bracelet, 3 on 1 is a bit generous for someone who was just a generic grunt. Can’t complain though, it was still a fun fight.
The X-Men mid-credits scene was super hype! What the MCU needs is a host of recognisable characters to hold up the flag for the viewers to attach to. No one cares about Moon Knight, for example.
I just hope the MCU doesn’t become all about the X-Men, Fantastic 4 and Deadpool, and heroes like ant Man don’t just become footnotes in the current roster.
Overall, I’d rate it about 7/10! Definitely above average, fun, and Ms Marvel and her family added a lot of classic marvel comic relief that DC just doesn’t seem to understand!
Also can we talk about how incredible Brie Larson looked in her suit? She worked out like crazy and it showed! Big props to her! I just wish the internet wasn’t so upset with her!
