Just came back from seeing it ('Captain Marvel'). And it though it was pretty damn good (better than just solid). I wouldn't rank it among my favourites along recent ones like 'Black Panther' or 'Infinity War', but I would rank it above other recent ones like 'AM&tW', but also personally 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'.

The action sequences (which are fine) are not the selling point for me, but rather the introduction and establishment of who Carol is and her place (I don't see the "underwritten" criticism personally), what shaped Fury, and also context on both the Kree and Skrulls' role in the MCU.

I did find it impressive, based on the trailers and such, that the image I had of where I thought the movie would go, turned out differently, and certain things I wouldn't have ever predicted.
