Thought it was decent. Kamala did her thing. I liked Monica too.
I definitely agree about the villain and the singing.

It was ok. The best part of the movie was the mid-credits scene.
Finally watched and I can see why this got bad reviews for a few reasons.
1. Anytime you have a super hero thats over powered, it's hard to have any stakes. Which is why Super Man needed kryptonite. it's also why he was barely in BvS and the Justice League. This movie had 3 over powered super heros.
2. It didn't really feel like a movie. Maybe it's because Disney + oversaturated content and overshadowed the movies to the point that this felt like a TV show. It didn't help that 2 of the characters were introduced on Disney +. One extensively.
3. The overall plot was too simplistic and it at the same time a slave to the "multiverse". It seems like everything revolved around setting up the multiverse scene in the after credits. The main plot point was also based on events from the first Captain Marvel. And the plot itself with the supreme intelligence fall out didn't make sense. And to try and tie that into why Captain Marvel stayed away was lazy as hell.
4. You could tell they made a lot of edits. Probably because the script was bad. Brie, Iman and Teyonah did the best the could with what they had to work with but it wasn't much. There was no emotion in this, no real build up. No real stakes. At no point did I feel there was any legit danger.
5. The villain wasn't really a villain based on the plot. She was simply trying to save her planet. And the fact that Captain Marvel had the power to fix it this whole time is
6. The science didn't make any sense either... Hala should've been a frozen wasteland. Everyone should've been dead or indoors or simply became refugees like the Skrulls.
At the end of the day, this was bad writing. Even with the simplistic plot, they could've did more.
Also, Marvel should NEVER introduce a character in a TV series, then turn around and feature them in a movie.
Lastly, I don't understand why this couldn't have been a Captain Marvel solo movie. It seems like that was the original intent, but they decided to shoehorn in the other 2 specifically for the multiverse bullshyt, and it also speaks to how Marvel had no clue of what they wanted to do after End Game.

Brie Larson show tiddy in this?
I just finished watching this a few minutes ago. It was mid. Not terrible, but not good.
This should have been a Disney+ show or something instead of a movie.

movie wasnt bad, it was goofy and light hearted which takes away some of the stakes from it but it was fine for what it was, kamala and monica added to the dynamic
you can tell the edits made some of the "emotional" beats of the film a lot more empty tho, part of the issue is carol denvers isnt the most engaging character so they did a good job trying to humanize her story

It’s about the same level as the first one. I think it’s the hate towards brie that hurt this one. Deadpool 3 should help get the mcu back on track

Same situation as GOTG Vol. 3. Will be well received but it's a team of director/writers who don't work on the rest of the MCU.
This was a fun watch on my flight today. I liked this better than Quantumania and Love & Thunder.
She showed her feet… and that was enough to defeat the antagonist without using any of her powers.
Magnificents.

Gotg 3 didn’t have this much hype MoM and NWH were the most hyped until now.
