Goofs

(at around 38 mins) The blue striping on the Street Fighter cabinet was not usually done back in 1995, that is something that people only do these days when restoring them. Back then it would have just been solid black. Also, that is an LCD flat screen monitor in the cabinet which did not exist then. Back then it would have been a rounded CRT monitor.

User Reviews

Not even Sam L. Jackson could save this

There are a lot of problems with this movie. Apart from the fact that the main character is not interesting at all, she is way too powerful and she doesn't even appear to have any weaknesses. For the love of Thanos: her name isn't even Captain Marvel... Mar-Vell is a completely different person in the movie! This movie tried so hard to copy other movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, and Captain America (I even noticed multiple similarities with Man of Steel) that it forgot to be a movie of itself. They tried to find as many connections to the MCU-timeline as possible, just tso they can cram in yet another superhero into their stuffed universe. I sincerely hope that this super-heroine doesn't spoil the final Avengers film.
