Review: Marvel's 'Captain Marvel' is finally here, and thanks to star Brie Larson and directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, it is definitely worth the wait.

AdvertisementWith a luminous and powerful Brie Larson starring as a woman with a knockout punch that would have daunted Muhammad Ali, the news is not that this pre-sold property about a superhero coming into her own will sell a ton of tickets, it's that it is actually good.

As co-writers with Geneva Robertson-Dworet , the directors also had a hand in the"Captain Marvel" narrative arc, which is far more complex than business-as-usual superhero origin stories."Captain Marvel"Though it sounds schematic to lay everything out that way, it's the grace of"Captain Marvel" to make everything it does feel so organic that we don't realize we're absorbing lessons till they've already penetrated our defenses.

The woman's name is Vers, she is a member of an elite Kree intergalactic fighting group called Starforce, and her mentor and commander is the demanding Yon-Rogg . The enemy, as far as the Kree are concerned, has for centuries been the Skrull, a group whose key combat skill is shape shifting — the ability to assume the look of anyone, anywhere, anytime. One of their chiefs is the fierce Talos, played by Mendelsohn .A tussle with the Skrull, including their attempts to probe her memory, leads Vers to crash-land on planet Earth, circa 1995, right in the middle of a Los Angeles Blockbuster store.
