'Captain Marvel' review: Run-of-the-mill origin story saved by stellar cast and witty script.

She supposedly belongs to the Kree race, but when she crash-lands on Earth after a botched mission, she finds that she has a past on this planet that she cannot remember due to a mysterious amnesia. And everybody is racing to find a lightspeed engine that will change the course of the war, invented by a Dr Wendy Lawson, whom Danvers is somehow linked to in her past life on Earth.

But we’ve come to expect a bit more from Marvel Studios instead of the run-of-the-mill origin story that we get here. Make no mistake, an origin story can make for a great superhero film. But we want to see the hero make a dramatic personal choice at the climax that will define the character and save the day. But Captain Marvel saves the day by merely going from powerful to… more powerful?

By the way, we find out how Nick Fury gets his facial scar which necessitates his trademark eyepatch We also find out where the heck Captain Marvel disappeared to all this time while the Avengers were busy saving Earth from alien invaders and psychotic supervillains. You might be very confused at first that some members of the Kree race of aliens have blue skin, while others have pink skin, making them physically identical to humans. But I’ll save you the Googling: in the comics, the Kree were originally blue-skinned, but some members eventually bred with outsiders to form a second pink-skinned racial group.
