You have to watch ‘Captain Marvel’ before ‘Avengers: Endgame’
SUMMARY
If you're thinking about skipping Captain Marvel and going straight to Avengers: Endgame, think again. Early reviews of Captain Marvel say that the movie is not only fantastic but that it will be essential viewing for anyone going to see the next installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here's the early consensus, totally free of spoilers for the movie.
Eric Eisenberg, of CinemaBlend, said the movie has "surprises" that audiences won't see coming.
Steve Weintraub at Collider said the movie made him "So ready for Avengers: Endgame."
Meanwhile, Anna Klausen of Newsweek, Bustle and The Daily Beastsaid, moviegoers, should "watch closely" for "lots of fun Easter eggs" and links to the "history and other films in the MCU."
At this point, critics who have seen the movie aren't able to reveal any spoilers for the film, so what we're seeing now is general impressions of the film. Elsewhere in the universe, a smattering of trolls who have not seen the film yet are trying to destroy the Rotten Tomatoes Score of Captain Marvel before the movie is released. Several publications have already likened this sexist campaign to what happened around the time The Last Jedi was released. Needless to say, if someone hasn't seen the movie, and they're trashing it, we don't have to spend much time thinking about their opinion.
For the rest of us, it sounds like Captain Marvel might not be a perfect movie, but then again, none of these superhero movies really ever are. And for those of us who have daughters — or just like to see heroes who aren't dudes — Brie Larson as Carol Danvers can't come soon enough.
