I agree with you General, but it is not only going to set up the next era but also be the prequel to everything that's happened in the MCU.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

I love behind the scenes stuff and things like this just get me more and more excited because it shows me how much they all care about making the movie and fantastic (and "real") as possible.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

I have no problem with a female-led superhero movie. The only things I ask are the same things I ask for in any male-led superhero movie. That the characters be well written, the story exciting (funny is a bonus), the action well done, the direction coherent and the special effects good.

So far, the Marvel movies have scored well on most of those. The DC movies, not so well (the said, I loved Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh as Superman, loved the Burton and Nolan Batman movies, Aquaman and Wonder woman, while I liked Suicide Squad a lot). The weak point for the Marvel movies has traditionally been the bad guy, allthough the bad guys in Black Panther were excellent, as was Thanos, and the various bad guys in Captain America.

I don't think you can really tell from the trailers (I remember hearing an editor who made trailers for a living who said it was the easiest job in the world because you can find 30 seconds of good film in any film), but based on their past performance, and that I like Brie Larson as an actress, I think Captain Marvel will be a good film.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

Brie Larson is an excellent actress, I was immediately much more interested in this film with her cast.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

I was the complete opposite. When I first heard about the film I was excited and then when I heard she had been cast I sighed big time and thought "what have they done?". She may be a good actress but I have only ever seen her in "Room" and she struck me as one of those arty farty character actors like Meryl Streep and not an action hero. This isn't just one film they are potentially going to screw up, it is Infinity War P2 plus the MCU going forward if she is going to be taking the reins.

I felt a lot better about it once the teaser and trailer were released and my confidence has been restored now that I have scene that behind the scenes mini featurette. It contributes to my realism factor and the fact that she has done so much training physically to be able to do the action sequences adds authenticity to the scenes and characters and just makes her more believable and real.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

I thought she was excellent in Free Fire, which is an action movie.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

Yup Room was excellent. Also Scott Pilgrim she was in giving more 'attitude'.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

She's a good actress.. I suspect anyone who has only seen Ian McKellan or Patrick Stewart in Shakespear would be shocked to see Gandalf, Magneto, Captain Picard or Professor X.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

true. Tbh from what I have seen so far she looks awesome and every bit a believable Captain Marvel and that is the sign of an excellent actress. I won't look at her and think "oh yeah it is that woman who played the weak woman locked in that room".

I can't wait. I have got it saved in my films list on the Odeon website so hopefully I'll get an email when the tickets go up but I check regularly anyway. They know it is going to be massive so I am expecting any time at the beginning of February with a midnight premiere and it will be interesting to see if they tie it in with a double bill. I think they would normally want to Infinity War but they'll save that for Endgame as it is only a month later.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

tickets aren't available yet but I am keeping my eyes peeled.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

Just checked the Odeon website and it says tickets will be available for advanced booking tomorrow (Tuesday 5th). Keep your fingers crossed for a midnight premiere.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

Cineworld say their tickets will go live tomorrow.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

Tickets are available at Odeon with a midnight premiere.

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

3 days to go......

Re: Captain Marvel Movie (2019)
 

Midnight (plus one minute) showings at the Vue Cinemas Thursday night/Friday morning - 2D, 3D, and 3D IMAX.

I’ll probably go for the 3D IMAX Friday lunchtime.
