Love the cat, love Sam Jackson, LOVE Ben Mendelsohn, but honestly I’m calling Lashana Lynch as MVP. She brings an emotional weight to the film that is needed and transforms the entire movie upon arrival. Definitely need to see more of her#CaptainMarvel pic.twitter.com/QeEzUBM8O1

Reporter Anna Klassen (Buzzfeed, Newsweek, Bustle) said:
#CaptainMarvel is very fun. And I am thrilled to announce Brie Larson wears my EXACT SAME NINE INCH NAILS tee for more than half the film. Seriously. I’ve never seen anyone else with this shirt.

There’s an earnestness to #CaptainMarvel that feels different than other MCU films. I got chills watching Carol Danvers get back up over & over & over again.

Lots of fun Easter eggs in #CaptainMarvel that link it to the history and other films in the MCU. Watch closely.

Den of Geek staff editor Kayti Burt said:
Some initial #CaptainMarvel reactions:
1. Cat people will love this movie.
2. Several truly magnificent music moments for this 90s kid.
3. Carol's hero moment was very cathartic/true to the female experience, imho.
4. The MCU feels more complete now that Carol is in it. ♥️

Deputy Entertainment Editor at Mashable Angie J. Han had probably one of the best reactions:
#CaptainMarvel: Well, Thanos is fucked.

Oh, hell yes. #CaptainMarvel
