Movies, Film and My Opinion

 I'm very glad my husband asked many times to go to see this movie. Women working together can conquer anything. Or even just working together, men and women, can make anything work. And Ms. Marvel fan-girls out and it's really cute. Captain Marvel has to realize that she must work together with these two other women in order to accomplish all goals, not just her own. And Captain Rambeau has to come to grips with the past and face her future. And yes, this movie has sacrifices. Yes, this movie has a lot of action. And yes, the villain is selfish, but not totally so. She wants to help her people. She blames Captain Marvel. And will kill, actually kill, anyone who gets in her way of revenge. It does take the three Marvels to stop her, but at what cost? I'm glad I saw the tv show "Ms. Marvel" before seeing this because it explains a lot of the dynamic with Kamala's family and how much they love her, but have a different idea of what her powers are for. Very glad ...

 So, to begin with, this was not worth all the "hype" that Disney has put out. Lots of merchandizing, lots of hoopla, lots of "in your face till you see this movie" kind of thing. So we saw it. The villain, was good: nice and selfish. Yea for Disney for putting the selfishness back into the Disney Villain: no backstory, no "oh but he's really good" - no. He's selfish. Period. Magnifico - excellent name for a sorcerer, a King or a villain. Asha was ok, but not spectacular. Her friends, on the other hand, were phenomenal. They were truly on her side! Loved - that. The queen was ok - she loves her husband, all the way to the end. But she's not blind. The star was cute. He's chubby and he can get angry, but yeah, he's cute! The goat, Valentino - I love Alan Tudyk. I do. He could have gone further. He could have been more with Valentino. He really could have. I wanted more from him. He is such a huge actor, a huge presence, has so much range...
