You may believe the hype.
The much-anticipated Captain Marvel had its premiere on Tuesday night, and the first audiences to watch the film have described it as unlike any other MCU film they’ve seen before, and weirder than you’d expect.
The main take away? Well, as Mashable’s Angie Han put it…
Other critics and viewers thought there was a strong, nostalgic ’90s feel to the film, and yep, you bet it’s going to be a lot of fun.
#CaptainMarvel has a great ‘90s sci-fi vibe w/ a tone unlike any other Marvel movie, really. It’s retro & trippy, mysterious & dorky. It’s funny in surprising places & badass in all the right places. It remains entertaining because it’s always changing. It’s got the right stuff pic.twitter.com/o7AvqYY63x

As you’d expect, Brie Larson is brilliant as Carol Danvers, an Earthling who gained some powers but has lost memory. Your new hero is here.
.@brielarson was born to be a superhero and that cat is Marvel’s latest, greatest treasure. Pumped for Endgame. @mashable coverage coming soon. Capt. Marvel in theaters March 8

That’s despite her being wedged in between episodes of ’90s sitcom Friends, apparently.
Despite explosive action, #CaptainMarvel is a character piece & Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers does not disappoint. She crushes it, despite having only 10 mins of screen time sandwiched between full episodes of America’s favorite sitcom, Friends. Can’t wait to see her lead Phase 4!

Captain Marvel is a blast! Has some cool surprises that I definitely didn’t see coming, and the mystery/origin it weaves is engaging and fun. Brie Larson is awesome, and makes a fantastic first step into the MCU #CaptainMarvel pic.twitter.com/oqrRtgDQrp

Captain Marvel is everything that I hoped it would be. It feels completely unlike any other Marvel film. A unique and fresh take on an origin story that feels new. Brie Larson is fantastic as Carol Danvers. This is one of my favorite Marvel movies of all time. #CaptainMarvel pic.twitter.com/0ou7HU93MY

#CaptainMarvel is pure joy. I cannot wait for the generation of little girls who will grow up with Carol Danvers as a hero.

There are also plaudits for Ben Mendelsohn’s performance as Talos, the leader of the Skrulls.
And not wacky weird like the GOTG movies. Think more “Rey snapping into endless mirrors” from The Last Jedi type scenes. Also, finally, the MCU and a Nirvana song come together (as Kurt Cobain wanted)

I’m really hoping Skrulls will be the Infinity Stones of the MCU going forward. Ben Mendelsohn is awesome and so is the whole shapeshifting concept. #CaptainMarvel

And you can expect a certain cat named Goose to steal the show, too.
The future of the MCU gets even brighter adding #CaptainMarvel to the mix. Really fell for @brielarson’s sass, strength & energy in the role. Same with @LashanaLynch too! Ben Mendelsohn is A+ casting as Talos. And yes, Goose is a scene stealer. 2nd viewing can’t come soon enough.

Some initial #CaptainMarvel reactions:
1. Cat people will love this movie.
2. Several truly magnificent music moments for this 90s kid.
3. Carol’s hero moment was very cathartic/true to the female experience, imho.
4. The MCU feels more complete now that Carol is in it.— Kayti Burt (@kaytiburt) February 20, 2019
Even though Captain Marvel might feature a whole bunch of new characters, technologies, and even a time period we haven’t seen before, there are allusions to the MCU you should keep an eye out for.
Lots of fun Easter eggs in #CaptainMarvel that link it to the history and other films in the MCU. Watch closely.
