Captain Marvel review of the twenty-first Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck with Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson and Jude Law.
The most powerful of the Marvel superheroes comes from the remote galaxy of the Magellanic Cloud just in time for the imminent grand finale, the Endgame of the Avengers that will close the first twenty-two Marvel Cinematic Universe films and the epic of the genre dedicated to the modern superhero , portrayed by Disney over the past eleven years.
Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck co-write and direct the exploits of Carol Danvers, a vigorous hero with a mocking smirk in search of herself and an awareness of her possibilities, a solitary soldier with no past or future animated by a fire that she cannot understand.
Carol 'Avenger' Danvers opens and closes the Avengers' initiative, under the guidance of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), agent and future director of SHIELD, the first to see in his eyes the restless sparkle that will become the blinding shine of Captain Marvel.
Unable to shed tears, locked in his Kree sheath, Vers falls to Earth finding himself at the center of the plot behind the war between Kree and Skrull.
The genesis is usually the most fascinating and successful chapters of superhero sagas, and the genesis of Captain Marvel, robust due to the interweaving of history and suspense in the narration, with the discovery of the cosmic origin of his powers generated by thirst, does not disappoint the expectations. of power of unscrupulous conquerors.

The rise of Captain Marvel that blocks Ronan the Accusor's ballistic missiles and flies into space at Mach-3 speed, positive and brilliant, sarcastic and mocking, represents all that such a powerful superhero should be in the imagination, and all what Superman did not have the courage to be in his last performances.
Before Ben Affleck shattered Batman in the Justice League, the nature of Superman had already been compromised in the absence of his bold essence of light and hope.
Captain Marvel finds herself and her immense power in her nature and her origins, because she, like so many other women and men before her, has never stopped getting up and fighting to improve her destiny.
How and more than Wonder Woman the inevitable symbol of modern girl power in the years to come, with some exciting sequences in which the whole female universe will meet again, Captain Marvel is much more than this, going to touch on themes already addressed in Black Panther's Wakanda such as race discrimination, marginalization and the need to take decisive positions against the proliferation of wars and the shedding of blood dictated by blind greed.

The genesis of planetary heroine Captain Marvel leaves its star sign without the need for a real thick villain, very rare among other things in Marvel superhero films. Carol, in conflict with herself, does not need other opponents, also because the immense shadow of Titan Crazy Thanos has already fallen on the Avengers Universe.
PS: Moving the nice tribute to Stan Lee, creator in 1967 with Captain Marvel's Gene Colan.
It is not surprising (fortunately?) Nor disturbing the De-Aging that is the visual effects of rejuvenation applied to the face of Samuel L. Jackson: moving eyes and mouth on a face largely unnaturally blocked in facial expressions, scarce resemblance to the real Samuel L. Jackson as a young man. While waiting for The Irishman, OASIS still appears far away.
