I'm sure you could write thesis on the expression of masculinity in every comic book movie ever however reviewers don't because they just watch a fun comic book movie. So if you go in wanting to evaluate how this movie treats feminism in a 90s throw back and how that reflects on the current Post MeToo environment I'm sure you will be able to ruin your experience.
I'm more concerned that origin stories are generally poorly done. I much preferred the Black Panther model where a quick origin was done in Civil War and then Black Panther was a movie about a Villain rather than an origin story.

I've heard that CM may actually suffer from this quite a bit unfortunately. Another major criticism is that the tone of the movie is fractured and the action pieces aren't especially great to look at.
I'll probably see this movie at lunch on Friday. I was really looking forward to further exploration of the cosmic aspects of the MCU and world building surrounding the Kree and Skrulls. I'm hoping there's still a substantial element of that in here.
After movies like Black Panther and Aquaman both mastered the introduction of new side worlds, Captain Marvel has some really tough acts to follow. I 100% agree though, that we did not need another origin superhero movie that cumulates in some kind of boss battle no one cares about.
I also hope that Marvel hasn't already given CM an overly major role in Infinity War 2.
