Captain Marvel is good. Like Ant-Man and the Wasp, it does everything well enough that you'll have an enjoyable time at the theater, but doesn't go higher and further above and beyond in ways that we've come to expect from the MCU. There isn't a standout action sequence, there isn't a breakout supporting character I'm dying to see in future movies, there isn't much in the way of visual spectacle, and the message, themes, and story (in general) were all more or less what was expected. But it doesn't do any of those things poorly, either. Captain Marvel does its job and introduces us to Carol Danvers so Infinity War doesn't have to, and I'm looking forward to her showing up in it and interacting with other Avengers. That's kind of all it needed to do.

I reserve the rest of my comments for SPOILER! talk in a couple weeks.
