Goofs

After inserting the CD into the computer it takes a long time to "load". This delay was intended to show that computers of the time were much slower than modern computers. This is complete nonsense, as this was an audio CD and not a data CD, in which case it would only take a second or so, just like in any audio CD player.

Quotes

Maria Rambeau: Can I ask you something? Do you just turn into anything you want?
Talos: Ah well, I have to see it first.
Maria Rambeau: Can you all do it?
Talos: Physiologically, yeah. But it takes practice and, um, dare I say it, talent to do it well.
Nick Fury: Can you turn into a cat?
Talos: What's a cat?
Maria Rambeau: What about a filing cabinet?
Talos: Why would I turn into a filing cabinet?
Nick Fury: A venus fly trap. I'll give you $50 right now if you turn into a venus fly trap.

THE best? No. Enjoyable and ties nicely into MCU? YES!

8/10. It was a very enjoyable origin story. I look forward to seeing more. I mostly feel the same after seeing CM as I did after watching the first CA, IM, etc. Not THE best of course, but definitely entertaining. Despite being in the "hot seat", having to follow Infinity War and BP, it mostly worked, and it was fun! I thought the cast worked well together. Brie Larson did the role well, and I cant wait to see where it goes from here.
