Possible spoilers ahead:
Captain Marvel, finds herself caught in the middle of an intergalactic battle which takes her to Earth in 1995 which opens up her mind to her past.
As fan of classic Marvel comics, I must be honest and say (Thor Ragnarok aside) I haven't been a great admirer of the arguably padded out borderline pretentious film outings. Thankfully, directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's Captain Marvel is one of the better more enjoyable instalments introducing shapeshifting aliens Skrulls and the Kree, powerful humanoid warriors.
With great acting, smouldering likeable blonde Brie Larson is fantastic as Captain Marvel which expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe and ties into a past story thread, namely the Tesseract cube and future threads, including Fury's pager. There's a great performance with plenty of screen time from Samuel L Jackson as de-aged Nick Fury, oozing screen presence Jude Law and mostly prosthetic makeup Ben Mendelsohn are particularly note worthy with their characters offering some story twists. There's fantastic action, effects and music throughout - it's one of the better stories of any MCU with an interesting 90s setting and top pacing as Fury and Marvel team up.
As expected there's some end credit scenes The first will connects to Avengers: Endgame and the humorous second bookends the film.
Overall, a solid superhero actioner, you can't go wrong.
