I watched Captain Marvel last week. People keep asking me which movie, to which I reply "Captain Marvel", but somehow that doesn't clear things up. Perhaps Marvel releasing 22 movies since 2007 has created the confusion.

Anyhow, the movie was terrible. I don't know why they made it, and I hope they didn't spend much money on it. The costumes even look cheap. Certainly a waste of money to have Sam Jackson and Jude law in it, the only 2 recognisable actors.

That said, I've never really liked fantasy movies because they always break the laws of the universe they create, or just plainly don't solve conflicts in a reasonable way. Take The Lord of the Rings for instance. They spent 3 movies trying to melt a ring... it accidentally gets destroyed, then they fly out in a few seconds. It makes you wonder why they didn't fly there in the first place, toss the evil thing into the volcano, then do something more productive with their time.

There are good fantasy movies though. Eternal Sunshine was good, and Avatar was entertaining. Wizard of Oz is among my favorites, as well as The Princess Bride.
