Trivia

There were concerns that Brie Larson was too young to portray a pilot. Screenwriter Nicole Perlman consulted with the U.S. Air Force, who said it was possible for someone between twenty-eight and thirty-four to become an accomplished pilot like Danvers.

Goofs

When Danvers is upside down in the mind reading device and then fights all the guards at around 20 minutes into the film, She's still wearing the hand cuffs (steel gloves) but when she reaches to open the door with the access panel, it looks like she uses her bare hand to touch the panel, but actually she uses her bare foot.

Quotes

[Vers enters the Supreme Intelligence's chamber]
Supreme Intelligence: Vers.
Carol Danvers: Intelligence.
Supreme Intelligence: Your commander insists that you're fit to serve.
Carol Danvers: I am.
Supreme Intelligence: You struggle with your emotions, with your past, which fuels them.
[Vers looks at a hologram of the galaxy on her left]
Supreme Intelligence: You are just one victim of the Skrull expansion that has threatened our civilization for centuries. Imposters who silently infiltrate, then take over our planets.
[a hologram of a Skrull soldier appears]
Supreme Intelligence: Horrors that you remember and so much that you do not.

User Reviews

Best about the movie is Samuel L. Jackson... and the cat

I enjoyed this movie. It's an OK movie. The kind of movie that would've gone under the radar if it wasn't because it ties to The Avengers and the polemic around Brie Larsson's persona.

If anything Captain Marvel piggy bagged on The Avengers fandom because otherwise mist people wouldn't be interested in this version of a female Superman.

Samuel L Jackson, the cat and the aliens save the movie and make it worth the ticket. Not so much the Captain Marvel character and her story line.
