I was really pleasantly surprised by this movie, it was great.
I feel like Captain Marvel had a lot more personality in this one and the other characters helped her show emotional depth and just be a more well-rounded character. It was great to see MS Marvel on the big screen too. I think she helped to create a good balance between action and lighthearted moments.
I was impressed, especially considering I haven't been a fan of some of the new MCU stuff (I hated the cringe fest that was Love and Thunder). But this was a great sequel, I loved seeing the Marvels together and the plot links back to the end of the first movie.
I was sad to see the hate this movie got before it even came out and even after by people who hadn't even seen it. It had me questioning whether they would be right, but they were very wrong in my opinion. I loved Captain Marvel and was so glad I went to see the Marvels.
Also, no spoilers but the end of credits scene was so good!
