"Captain Marvel" was hit with tens of thousands of audience reviews just hours after the film opened in theaters on Friday, scoring a dismal audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes of 33%.
"As of 8 a.m., the film had a 33 percent audience score from more than 58,000 reviews," reported The Hollywood Reporter. The outlet credited the low audience rating to "trolls" sandbagging the film, noting that the number of reviews in a matter of mere hours from “Captain Marvel’s” opening is "more than the total of audience score reviews for Avengers: Infinity War for its entire theatrical run."
On mid-day Friday, the audience score peaked to 35%; the critics' score, however, held at a solid 81%.
"Very little to get excited about here as the villain is the best character in the movie. Brie Larson is awfully miscast in the lead role. Thumb up for Mendelsohn and Jackson. As a lead-in to End Game it's both inadequate and unnecessary," reads one review from the site.
Another reviewer wrote, "Wasn't expecting much going in and that's what I got, not much. Brie Larson was a poor choice for the lead. She's just not believable. I was bored all too often watching it."
"A boring and bland story focused on a character with neither personality nor a single weakness," says another post critical of the film.
Rotten Tomatoes recently amended their system to bar the general public from leaving reviews before the film is released. This was apparently an effort to cut back on "trolls" leaving negative reviews.
"We are disabling the comment function prior to a movie’s release date," said Rotten Tomatoes, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Unfortunately, we have seen an uptick in non-constructive input, sometimes bordering on trolling, which we believe is a disservice to our general readership. We have decided that turning off this feature, for now, is the best course of action. Don’t worry though, fans will still get to have their say: Once a movie is released, audiences can leave a user rating and comments as they always have."
While feminists in media invested in the female-driven film's success have claimed that the bad reviews for the film have come at the hands of women-hating male film critics, "Captain Marvel" has taken some heat from female movie critics, too.
For example, as noted by The Daily Wire's James Barrett, a female film critic from Reeling Reviews, Laura Clifford, gave the flick a C- and criticized feminist actress Brie Larson's performance.
"...I found the whole film to be a muddle of special effects, disjointed writing and lack of humor. The humor, especially, is built in to the other Marvel films and I wonder why there is nearly none in 'Captain Marvel.' The answer, I think is in the film's star, Brie Larson, as hot-shot fighter pilot and kick ass warrior Carol Danvers. She is OK in the action sequences, which are many, but is too serious an actor for the character. That is a real problem for a hero in a franchise that is known for its mirth. ... It is telling that there are eight credited writers, making this a kitchen sink of clichés," said Clifford.
Moreover, World's Megan Basham blasted “Captain Marvel” for its "girl-power pandering" and What She Said's Ann Brody described the movie as "dark and empty."

"The answer, I think is in the film's star, Brie Larson, as hot-shot fighter pilot and kick ass warrior Carol Danvers. She is OK in the action sequences, which are many, but is too serious an actor for the character."
She's gone from the TV show Community to the ultra serious movie Room to Kong:Skull Island. I don't think being 'too serious an actor' is the main problem here. Larson shows great range in her roles. From what I understand it's not written well and the lead role could be considered bland with a few different actresses trying it.
I'm one of the few who didn't hate Assfleck as the Batman character and think Cavill makes a great Superman, but the movie that featured them both was dark, mean, boring and without spoiling...the main plot line came off as absurd. Batman and Superman were that mad at each other because they didn't take five minutes to talk and clear things up? The idea itself could have been interesting (fighting), yet the way it was written made it seem far fetched and confusing.
It always starts with the writers. Then, the directors. Actors can only do so much with what they're given to work with. However, Larson didn't help any with her bullshit SJW tour before the film's release. And online feminist/SJW voices aren't helping any either. People go into the theater with a bad taste in their mouth before they even get to sit down and watch the damn thing.
I'm gonna go see it in a couple of days just because I'm a Marvel junkie and it leads into Endgame. I'll try to give my best unbiased assessment afterwards.
I still say the whole SJW thing was because the powers that be at Marvel think they made a shitty flick. No one puts that much money into production just for a small subset of a population. They're making these movies to make money, not to make a political statement and watch the final product tank.

From Forbes:
The Brie Larson/Samuel L. Jackson/Reggie the Cat sci-fi adventure opened with $153m in North America this weekend, which is the second-biggest solo superhero non-sequel launch behind Black Panther ($202m in 2018). It’s the third-biggest March opening of all time, sans inflation, behind Batman v Superman ($166m in 2016) and Beauty and the Beast ($174m in 2017)...
Now I just wanna make sure everyone got that:second-biggest solo superhero non-sequel launch
second-biggest...solo...superhero...non-sequel... launch
