I really wasn't sure what to expect from Captain Marvel. If it
wasn't for the final shot of Avengers Infinity War where Fury
sends a destressed signal to Captain Marvel, this movie wouldn't
really even be something I'd be looking for. It is what it is.
As for the movie, I liked it. Not perfect by any stretched and
is not in the same league as some of the other Marvel flicks
that have come out lately. But as a "stand alone" origin story,
they deliver and hit all the spots they need to hit. The start
of the movie is a bit slow for my taste. But once Carol Danvers
crash lands on Earth (very, veeeeeery similar to Superman's
arrival), the flick finds its footing and things pick up quite a
bit. I won't bore you with the plot details as it's too
extensive to write here and make sense of it all for those that
have not bee paying attention in previous Marvel movies.
As for Captain Marvel, I mention that it's her Origin Story, but
it's also an Origin Story for Nick Fury as well and to some
extent Agent Coulson, although he is not featured enough in the
movie to call it the same for him. The De-aging technology they
are now using in Hollywood has come a long way and it's getting
better each time. Seeing both Sam Jackson and Clark Gregg is
just mind blowing to see. You really can't tell anymore because
they have gotten to the point of refinement that those early
versions of the tech are now long gone.
There are some standout spots in the film that are worth talking
about. First off....Stan Lee. Loved the opening MARVEL Logo that
kicks off all the films. Instead of showing all the characters
in the MCU, they went with an all-out Tribute for the man. And
for his cameo, the set up had me howling as we see Stan reading
a script for Mallrats. Remember, Captain Marvel is set in the
90's, music, fashion and everything that comes with
it...including when Mallrats. So the cameo was pretty clear-cut.
But if it needs to be explained for those that don't get the
Easter Egg. It's Stan reading for his eventual appearance in the
movie. I gotta see what Kevin Smith thinks of this. I'm sure he
has a lot to say on the matter. There are plenty of these kinds
of Easter Eggs in the movie. You're just gonna have to check it
out for yourself. Worth a Rent for sure.

I'm so glad that I didn't know about Stan's cameo until it
unfolded as it did. Wish Kevin could have had the same
experience too. Would have been great if someone had videotaped
him so we could have some footage to go along with his reaction.
But him talking about it is just as good though.
