As that 'Woke Fanboy' you always hear about, I was hyped for this Film.
Should you be?
* The trio of Stars deliver with their unique Characters, motivations and backstories.
* So many questions are answered nicely- like why didn't Captain Marvel return for so long- and it just makes things feel...complete.
* The Film looks great, catering to the Marvel fan who loves the cosmic stuff a la Guardians of the Galaxy.
* The villain is a bad person...with clear motivations and trying to do the right thing...in her mind. It is not just 'Boo- I'm evil.'
* The gimmick here- the body switching- is used to great effect, not just for laughs. It really drives the narrative.
* Goose and the other Flerken are adorable. Aww...
* The final tease and Mid-Credits tease (no SPOILERS) are great.
The Bad
* While they do explain the key details for each character, the short answers (like "I got my powers from walking through a witch's hex") won't satisfy everyone.
* It's not entirely clear how the whole thing on the 2nd Planet was resolved...or if it even was at all. Is there a Director's Cut for this in the future?
* Kind of funny how they find a weird excuse to introduce a set of new Costumes for the 3rd Act. Not really bad...but odd.
It is a fun, space romp with more depth to it once you really dig into the story.
If you've already decided that the Film is 'too woke' (since it stars 3 Females), I won't be able to change your mind.
For everyone else, give it a shot.
