Captain Marvel (2019)

Director(s): Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck. Cast: Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law, Annette Bening, Djimon Hounsou. 124 min. Rated PG-13. Action/Sci-fi.

Impressed, by how Marvel has tried to come up with a Wonder Woman equivalent ... and succeeded. After a beautiful opening tribute to the late Stan Lee, the indie directors are in no rush to tell their story - they minimize the number of big-budget action scenes, and replace them with the strong foundation of a good story, slowly developing characters for Carol Danvers, a young Nick Fury, and the multiple complicated villains. By the end, you've seen a Marvel movie that similar to Black Panther, works independently on its own terms. And boy, is that post credits scene awesome.
