Color me unimpressed when folks are arguing on a college sports web site about movie ratings. Epitome of off season.

Took the son (10) to see Cpt. Marvel today - he had NONE of the background and just likes Marvel movies. I had a little background, thanks you to you guys providing links and allowing me to kill half a day at work reading up on the current and coming Marvel releases. Still, went in not really knowing what to expect other than "Marvel". Without being clouded by the history of the character being Male-Female-TG-OMG-WTF-BBQ, I took it at face value and enjoyed what was presented. It was a little tough for him to follow the parts where the Kree were rewinding her memories, or when Kree were impersonating other people (Dad, is he Kree? What about him? Ugh), but overall not too tough to follow. Nice to see Agent Coulson again, and a younger Fury. I very much appreciated the nostalgia of the 90's, knowing my son just viewed it as 'old'. Good action, decent story line with a twist or two. The expected good doses of humor - the cat, while being a late character, became my son's favorite. Overall fits well in the series, sets for a sequel, though I don't expect much from it. All in all, enjoyable (says the fanboy). I will admit, in my mind, I kept hearing the news quotes of 'not for you white males' and I kept staring at her boobs saying 'yeah, those are definitely for me'. 7.5/10
