"I'm not gonna fight your war. I'm gonna end it." – Carol Danvers

Why watch this? This is a superb super-hero origin story packed with lots of girl power!

Plot Summary: Carol Danvers thinks she's a Kree, a race of galactic heroes who protect those being attacked by the evil, shape-shifting Skrulls. She even bleeds blue - literally. This does not explain the recurring memories that link her to a green planet: C-53. She travels there and starts to unravel the mystery regarding her origins.

Dad's Preview: At the end of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Nick Fury, one second before his Thanos-induced death, hits the emergency button on his spy-phone... and we see the Marvel logo. This film is that character's origin story. Larson excels as a strong, determined and very tough super-heroine with powers equal to the DC comics' Superman. She will play a critical role in the Marvel films to come. Kudos also to Samuel L. Jackson as a CGI-de-aged version of Nick Fury.
