Marvel Studios Captain Marvel [Blu-ray] [Region A] [2019]

a great super hero film that was also a great buy.

Ever since I was collecting Marvel Comics from School Days to-date, I always jumped with joy when I discovered Captain Marvel and would relish reading through the comic to find out which baddie she is going to teach a lesson to. Now, finally, I will get a chance to see her on dvd. I saw the trailer for this wonderful movie on just recently and had already decided I want to buy her dvd. The cover is beautiful and I just know the movie is going to be very enjoyable. Thank you very much, Amazon!.

Family film enjoy and one to keep

I watched this when it first came out and then it disappeared from the streaming services (unless you paid extra). When I spotted this on Amazon, I bought it and watched again. It's not the finest script but as it features one of Marvel's most famous characters and for once has a female lead, it's good fun and light years better than a lot of the testosterone-driven dialogue that can make other Marvel films so predictable. Get the popcorn out, sit back and enjoy.

Nobody buys DVDs today so you can get them really cheaply and sell them, on cheaply once you have finished with them. This one is a good fantasy film. Part of the Marvel Universe.

Superb visual upgrade on the 4k format enhancing the special-effectsThe planet Kree is at war with the shape-shifters The Skrulls.Vers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) who is a Starforce Member under the guidance and training of Yon Rogg (Jude Law) believes herself ready to go on a mission despite her repeated and unexplainable nightmares involving an older-woman on a different World to Kree.When on the mission she'd craved Vers is captured by the Skrulls the memories detected lead them to travel to Earth where they become separated.Vers crash-lands in Los Angeles into a video-store, on the scene very quickly is S.H.E.I.L.D agent Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) who pursues her while chasing a Skrull.When Fury and Vers finally join-up, he will help her to try and find herself, she doesn't really know who she is or even where she belongs and indeed whether she'd been fighting on the right side.Finding her past will help her bring-forth the powers previously unknown to her as The Kree intervein in her personal quest.During this time will Vers previously Carol Danvers make the right choices?This a superb special-effects bonanza, that'll both excite you and indeed bring a frequent smile as the tale unfolds...Captain Marvel, set to become The Avengers most powerful ally.Certainly a must-see for Super-Hero and indeed Marvel fans/ great fun and enjoyable viewing

Captain Marvel has had its share of lovers and haters since its release. I am firmly in the lovers catagory. I thought it was a fantastic film, it may have been a story setter for a new character but it was a great one. Nice to see the beginnings of so many new characters starting out in the MCU and how they will fit in things to come. And got to love Goose, a little legend all of his own.

I was a little disappointed when I left the cinema simply because I wanted much more for the much hyped character. I think hype might have been the problem. A lot of talk was made about this being the first major Marvel female lead and how this was going to set up Captain Marvel in the MCU and particularly how she was being set up to play a part in avengers Endgame. With all this in mind I think many were expecting something epic and what you actually get is a fun film.Having re-watched it and given the film another go on Blu Ray all of the things that I initially thought of when I left the cinema still ring true. I think it's a very simple story with simple characters. I don't know if any actress could bring the character more to life, simply because there doesn't seem to be much to the character. That may be because this is a plot driven film and not a character driven one. It seems to be a simple story of Carol Danvers finding out who she is, not through a lot of soul searching but literally investigating who she is.Even on a second viewing the flaws are still obvious. I still feel that all the 80s references seem a little crowbarred in there, there isn't a really good bad guy to love to hate, there isn't much of a challenge for our protagonist. I wish they'd just given her a bit more to do or say. And as story telling goes, just realizing that the answer to unlocking her powers is to embrace her humanity seems a little lazy. They did this so much better in Wonder Woman with her moment of realization, where she embraces love as the answer to defeating her nemesis. Just working out that you're human and that humans and in particular human women are great and resilient and therefore able to defeat any alien threat seems like it comes out of nowhere. There is no build up to the moment.That said - When she does find out who she is the fireworks are great. Kicking ass to the sound of No Doubt's Just a Girl is a great moment. But, like the film on a whole, it is fun, never epic, never intense, never feeling like everything is on the line or in danger, never saying or doing too much. And why should it? If this film could have snuck in under the radar like Guardians of the Galaxy did it would have been received very differently I think. But even Guardians managed to be fun and a little bit more. It had more heart. Captain Marvel can't even be described as a fun film with heart, it's just a fun film. Fanboys just wanted more. That's why I think you'll read bad reviews. Ignore any pro or anti feminist debate, (although arguably there is a feminist argument to be had) and just enjoy.
