My favorite part about this film is how blindingly obvious it is that its critics didn't watch it. They claim that it encourages violence and commits genocide against trans people somehow, even though 90% of the runtime consists of experts on their own side talking. The film's creator, Matt Walsh, hardly says anything (besides the interview questions) for the entire length of the film and simply allows his opponents to make themselves look like deranged morons. The RollingStone (yes, it still exists, and yes I'm surprised too) wrote a scalding review of the film only to be confronted by screenshots proving that neither the reporter nor the editor actually watched it before attacking it. To viewers with an open mind, it's an interesting and necessary film about one of the most divisive and controversial topics of modern society.

Seems like it has potential, but I absolutely can not take Moses Ingram's character seriously. Her dialogue delivery is flat and emotionless. The show is only 2 episodes in and every time she comes on screen I just get bored. Aside from that it's a decent show.

By far the best addition to the DC cinematic universe, Shazam's goofy attitude and fun-spirited heroism is a welcome change to the dark landscape that has been the Justice League. My one complaint is the caterpillar. If you've seen the movie, you'll know what I mean.

While it is certainly not the worst movie ever made and the effects are competent, it feels like a lazy reboot of a failed storyline. They basically just took every superhero cliche ever and threw it in, expecting it to work. Several of the characters take actions completely opposite of their personality traits and they kill off a character no one has cared about since 2006. All in all, it's not necessarily bad, it's just so incredibly disappointing that it feels much worse than it actually is. Also, they criminally underused Quicksilver, who got pretty much zero screentime despite being the most likeable character.

I was really looking forward to this movie, and was incredibly disappointed. Captain Marvel's character development in this movie is absolutely dreadful. She is arrogant and overconfident for the entire movie even though they tried pulling the cliche "oppressed victim finally stands up for herself". It was unconvincing, but it was not the main problem with the movie. The entire plot is focused around finding a lightspeed engine, but it is revealed that the energy source for this engine is the Tesseract. In Captain America: The First Avenger, it was established that Howard Stark found the Tesseract in the ocean (in 1945) and brought it back to the US. He then helped found SHIELD and they kept the Tesseract in deep storage until 2012 in The Avengers, when Nick Fury decided to use it to make weapons. Captain Marvel takes place between those two films (1990s) and they find the Tesseract in space, and SHIELD has never heard of it. Those of you who have seen Avengers: Endgame know it was still in the SHIELD vault in the 70s.
