This past weekend the family went to see Captain Marvel. I have to admit, I was a bit worried this was going to be a waste of 2 1/2 of my life's hours. I'd heard about the bad reviews and was seriously hoping they were false. My brother & sister-in-law saw it the night before and they said they both liked it!
I'll be honest here, I didn't know who Brie Larson was before this movie. My hubby (if I remember correctly) told me that Captain Marvel is supposed to be the most powerful of all the Marvel characters. While I liked her character and for the most part enjoyed her acting, I felt like she wasn't "fierce" enough. I think the special effects helped with her intensity when she was using her powers. Otherwise I felt like she was constantly on the verge of smiling. All of her training for the role certainly paid off. The action scenes were exciting! Also, the amount of sarcasm and banter with Fury made me smile!
I had no idea Jude Law was in the movie. That was a shock as I haven't seen him in anything for what seems like ages. I liked his acting as well as his character. Then Annette Bening, it was so incredible to see her. That woman is timeless and I really like how she played her character. I'll tell you what, when I saw the young Colson and Fury I had to laugh. This might've been set in the 90s, but they made me think of the late 70s. Maybe I just remember the 90s differently.
And while we're at it, let's talk about Goose. Notice how they used a cat to play this part? And to see Fury's cat loving side gave me the warm fuzzies for him. lol Notice how they didn't use a dog? Cats were made to play roles like Goose! This is the first animal in the Marvel Universe. Smart move on their part!
Overall I liked the entire storyline. The movies this past year in the Marvel Universe have really won me over. I didn't feel like there were any political messages being thrown around in the story or that any feminine agenda was present. I took the movie at face value - an action adventure. I felt like the storyline was pretty easy to follow. There were a couple spots where I was confused trying to figure out who Carol Danvers really was, but other than that, the movie was easy to follow along. Also, the costumes and makeup were terrific! I think the costume designer and makeup artists should be up for awards next year.
Here's Jacob's review:
The first, of hopefully many, female led movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain Marvel exceeded my expectation of what this film could be. It was visually stunning and made the audience go ‘oh, so that’s how that happened’ numerous times.
Each main character, from Goose to Jude Law’s character Yon-Rogg, had a compelling story to tell. The whole movie, even at the end, I wanted to see the characters Yon-Rogg and Carol Danvers build their relationship onscreen, though for those who have seen the movie, I don’t think that’ll be happening anytime soon.
I loved seeing Fury and Coulson back in the mix in lager roles. I’ve been waiting to see Clark Gregg on the big screen inside the MCU again, and this movie didn’t disappoint. Here’s to hoping we see Coulson in Endgame.
To address Fury’s eye, it was a cute little thing, but I feel like there could have been something more significant. Say if Law and Jackson had scenes of the two working together, Law could have betrayed Jackson in their scene and that would have fit the quote from Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, ‘Last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye.’ There were many fun easter eggs to past MCU movies, and the one I think sticks out the most is in the last scene of the movie where Fury is typing up his Protectors Initiative plan to find others like Captain Marvel to help save the planet in the future. While looking into the files of Carol, he sees her old callsign from when she flew jets: Carol ‘Avenger’ Danvers.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie. One that I’ll be going to see in theaters again. I’m excited to see how she will fit into Endgame, and maybe even give Thor a run for his money.

December 20, 2019 – STAR WARS: EPISODE IX (Lucasfilm)
STAR WARS: EPISODE IX opens in U.S. theaters on December 20, 2019.
Last night my hubby and I had date night. We went to see Mary Poppins Returns. I was hoping it would be a good movie. I mean, a new Mary Poppins? Do we really need a new one? And you know how people screw up "sequels". I had my hopes up that it would at least be enjoyable. Just be aware that what follows may be considered a complete spoiler, but I'm ok with that. This is your fair warning.
Cue the start of the film, and I KNEW something magical was about to happen. There may be a lot of "remember when" statements coming in this review starting with, remember when movies began with the credits? They lasted a couple minutes with a musical piece? It took me about 30 seconds to realize that the movie hadn't started, the music was still playing, and we were still watching credits. That put a smile on my face and I wondered how many people remember movies beginning this way. Then I also wondered how many people were impatient for the movie to start. I just thought, "I already love this."
I read on Facebook that someone was saying to not forget this movie was a musical. Of course I wasn't sure if that meant the entire thing was full on musical scene after scene or even if the score would be any good. Would the songs be on par with the original music and dances. I mean, the bar (in my opinion) was set extremely high for this movie to reach.
Let's just say that Mary Poppins Returns is a musical just like the original. It made me think of those classic childhood movies like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Robert & Richard Sherman composed music that made those movies absolutely delightful. Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman did a spectacular job at staying true to the original movie with new songs that I believe the Sherman brothers would've approved of! I think the only part in the movie that I thought was a bit "hokey" was the BMX bikes in the "Trip A Little Light Fantastic" scene. It's probably my age, but it just didn't seem to fit the rest of the movie.
I'm not sure at what point in the movie I realized I felt like a child again. Mary Poppins Returns made me feel like a 6 year old little girl who watched the movie with wide-eyed wonderment. The humans were able to interact with cartoons. I thought it would be incredible to experience that kind of interaction. I literally got lost in the movie. I remembered what it felt like to watch a move that seemed magical. I want Mary Poppins to be MY nanny although I've never had a nanny and I'm almost 50. hahahaha
Do you approach movies that are "family" oriented or for children and wonder how they're going to add adult themes? I mean, why can't children's movies just be sweet and innocent? No inappropriate talk by the characters, no implied meanings, no innuendos. Simply a straight forward children's movie. You get all the fun & sweetness of a children's movie that you would hope for with Mary Poppins Returns.
Emily Blunt, I can't say enough about her performance! As soon as you see her feet turned out, you know she's going to be great! I'm not one to join the hype of an actor or actress' performance, but hers was spectacular. I feel as though Dame Julie Andrews would be very proud of this revival of the character she brought to life. BTW, did you know the original Mary Poppins was Julie Andrews' feature film debut? Back to Emily Blunt though. She is probably one of my favorite actresses. I don't think I realized it until this movie. She's such a versatile actress. I can't imagine anyone else playing this role!
Lin-Manuel Miranda did a good job as Jack, the lamp lighter. Can I admit I've never seen him in anything before? No, I haven't seen Hamilton. I also don't keep up on awards shows to know that he's won nearly all 4! Lin-Manuel certainly showed me he can sing, dance, and act all in one fell swoop.
No way I could leave out seeing Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury in this movie. What icons! My heart swelled when I saw them and heard them sing. Dick Van Dyke certainly hasn't lost his gift of singing, dancing, and acting. I had no idea Angela Lansbury was in the movie, so to see her at the end was delightful! I also had no clue Meryl Streep was in the movie. I must live under a rock.
I can't leave out the actors who played Michael & Jane as well as the kids, Anabel, John, and Georgie. I remember Jane (Emily Mortimer) from something, but for the life of me I can't remember what. I looked through IMDB and didn't find anything that I'd know her from. Maybe she just has one of those faces. The kids were fantastic and I really enjoyed them as Michael's children. I think when they look back 20 yrs from now, they'll realize what an amazing opportunity it was to have roles in this movie.
Ok, let's be serious for a minute. Your favorite movie of the spring...? Mine was hands down AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR! It was an adventure from the moment the first scene came onto the screen! As soon as I found out we were going to get to review the Blu-ray, I knew my family was going to be all over family movie night. We also got the added bonus of having some fun items to help make Infinity Stone sugar cookies! My hubby decided to make an ice cream sandwich out of his cookies! With the extra dough leftovers I made some rainbow cookies, too.
