Fucking reported for BANNING  To be fair, most posts on The Outhouse, and it's sequel, Outhouse 2: Electric Bugaloo, demand a response with Yosemite Sam in it... |

Honestly, those RT things are far too easy to manipulate, and it's weird it took them this long to realize that. There are things they can do to mitigate against that, but maybe the best is a rethink of what they're trying to do and how they want to do that. |

So...the Hollywood reporter didn't like Captain Marvel, calling it, dull, mundane, and generally boring. They said it won't do for female superheroes what Black Panther did for black superheroes, and said in a contest with Wonder Woman it comes out losing. While, CBR, which to be fair has fawning all over this movie since it was announced, loves it. Make of that what you will.

RT has it 84%, if that means anything. Yeah, but having read through a decent-sized sample (10-15 or so) of reviews over there, despite that score I've been hard-pressed to find much of any that sound like they really actually liked the movie. No real raves, a bunch of basically "well, it's a Marvel Formula movie and they didn't screw it up" reviews, and a handful more that boil down to "it's kinda boring and predictable and serves too many masters". Really, the only thing they all agree on is that the fucking cat steals the show, which doesn't really bode well IMO. It also sounds like it's as painfully obvious and on-the-nose with the soundtrack as it could possibly be (featuring Nirvana, R.E.M., and then basically every female-led act of the 90s, including Garbage, Hole, and a climactic action sequence set to No Doubt's "Just A Girl"...color me shocked). Feels like a standard lower to at-best mid-tier Marvel movie. Which is fine, I've yet to see a Marvel movie I didn't at least enjoy watching, but it doesn't sound like the revolutionary female-led game-changer that so many folks seem to want it to be. |

My money is on Captain Marvel, for reasons already given re: MCU name recognition, etc. Plus it looks like a modern action movie, which is what audiences still seem to expect and that I think a lot of people who want to see Endgame will feel they have to go see it to understand Endgame properly when it comes out (Marvel reaping the benefits of a long term, paced and planned, constructed Cinematic Universe). Shazam's marketing so far feels like a throwback to wacky kids movies, and I don't see that taking the same kind of audience share. What box office did the Tim Allen "Zoom" movie make, it will make about that.

So...what the reviews I've read for Captain Marvel say about it...isn't terrible, but it also isn't good. Mostly, they call the show "conventional", and call it and Brie Larson out for making her character far too...Mary Sueish. Evidently Larson barely experiences any challenges in the movie, never seems likely to even struggle to win, and in general doesn't seem like she's doing anything that's hard for her. Beyond the "smile" thing, Larson herself according to one review spends the movie acting like she's on tranqs, almost sleepwalking through it.
Another review, that of the Financial Times, calls out Jackson, reminding him that he's NOT in a Tarantino movie this time, so he should maybe stop acting like it.
That said, I'm waiting on a few reviews from here. I always have a feeling with comic book movies that reviewers tend to look down on them...even now.

Awesome, at least we know it's faithful to the current source material. |

Ex-wife saw it and said it was good. Maybe Captain Marvel is going to turn out all right. Fingers crossed.
