Captain Marvel - The prequel you need to set up the final sequel Movie Rating` 7.5 out of 10 Family Rating This one is children friendly with no swearing, some battle scenes but without blood and gore and nothing else. The arrival of Captain Marvel not only introduces Marvel's answer to Wonder Woman, but also ties up all the loose ends you need to know about The Avengers before Endgame is released next month. For Marvel fans, there is no real need to provide a review of Captain Marvel because missing it is just not imaginable. I initially questioned Marvel Studio's decision to release Endgame so soon after Captain Marvel. I now realise that everyone will have to go to the cinema to watch CM as there will be no time to watch it on any other format before Endgame is available. Anyway, I couldn't call myself a movie reviewer if I didn't share my thoughts on Captain Marvel and I promise that there will be NO SPOILERS. The character of Captain Marvel does not receive any attention during all the previous Avenger related movies except at the end of Infinity Wars where Fury calls her just before he is turned to ash. We know that the Captain is a female only through the promotion for the film and we know she has some special powers or else she wouldn't be an Avenger. Writing this review is hard as there is so much I can't say so let me try another angle by way of telling you what answers the film will provide you with; Who Captain Marvel (CM) is Where she comes from What are her powers How did she get them Her relationship with Fury Who are the good guys and the bad guys Why she hasn't been around during the other Avenger movies Why you should be careful if choosing a ginger cat as a pet How Fury lost his eye How everything was named The film starts with a wonderful tribute to Stan Lee. The story takes a while to get established but once you start putting the pieces together it is fun and entertaining. Brie Larson is a great choice as Captain Marvel conveying the toughness you would expect from an Avenger while showing a human side with those she chooses as friends. She also has a humourous side that lightens the movie. Samuel L Jackson plays a young looking Nick Fury and establishes the attributes of the character we have grown to know in the other Avenger stories. Jude Law and Ben Mendelsohn are alien enemies who seek Captain Marvel's strengths to meet their own needs. Mendelsohn is great as an alien with an Aussie accent. The film is long at over 2 hours but once it gets started the time flies. I enjoyed it as a stand-alone movie…
