Captain Marvel is a good tie-in to the upcoming Avengers movie. If you haven't read a comic book since you were 16, like me, you probably don't know the story, but just go along for the ride, and you'll soon get what's going on.
The film follows Carol Danvers, a fighter jet pilot, who can't remember who she is or how she got on a strange planet. Isn't that always the way?
It picks up in action and suspense as the the movie speeds through its run time. The story is well written, and the twists really help make the film.
Not that I need to tell you this, but stay around for the end of the credits. There are two post-credit scenes that are worth sticking around for.
