Folks, before you get all hot and bothered I wanna explain something by throwing some facts out there. Captain Marvel was the highest grossing film this weekend and it wasn’t even close. $153 million on the weekend and the next closest was $14 mil. Captain Marvel accounted for almost 75% of movie sales this weekend. So for those of you complaining that I’m reviewing a superhero movie can go take a long look in the mirror and ask themselves what’s wrong with them. Also was just informed that starting this blog is going to pay dividends come tax season. Movies are a business expense, so I’m just lowering my taxable income by starting this blog. $15 for a movie and popcorn x 25 movies this school year equals $375 for business expenses. That’s not including my discounts I receive from the good people at New Visions in Mounds View, but let’s not tell the government about those. Also shoutout to me, this is my 25th straight week going to a movie and what a ride it has been. Enough chatter and lets get to the review of Captain Marvel.

“Captain Marvel is an extraterrestrial Kree warrior who finds herself caught in the middle of an intergalactic battle between her people and the Skrulls. Living on Earth in 1995, she keeps having recurring memories of another life as U.S. Air Force pilot Carol Danvers. With help from Nick Fury, Captain Marvel tries to uncover the secrets of her past while harnessing her special superpowers to end the war with the evil Skrulls” -Wikipedia
This is a tough movie to review because there are Marvel diehards and there are regular movie joes. These reviews are written for a common man so that is the angle I will be taking. The good news: you don’t have to watch other Marvel movies to be able to watch this one. However, it makes it a heck of a lot more confusing and interesting if you keep up to date with Marvel movies. The acting, the confusing plot, and the predictability make this movie average. However, the special effects and one twist they do throw into the movie make things interesting and keep you on your toes. All superhero movies are predictable and this one is no exception. But it is one of those movies that you don’t wanna go to the bathroom even though I did three times because I had a few too many Diet Cokes. I always appreciate those types of movies.
