Goofs

(at around 1h 35 mins) The popular '90s song "Just a Girl" by No Doubt makes a prominent appearance on the Captain Marvel soundtrack towards the end of the movie. The film is set months before this song even came out (according to the Stan Lee cameo and a calendar seen in the background). However, it is just soundtrack, and not being heard "in universe."

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.
