“Captain Marvel” is a mixture of “Thor,” “Captain America: The First Avenger,” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” which is to say it’s disjointed, wooden, and messy, but you really want to like it because it’s a Marvel movie.

Set in the 1990s, Captain Marvel tells the story of Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), who is learning to harness her powerful energy abilities while trying to uncover a past she has forgotten from an accident.
