Kamala Khan is easily the biggest selling point here, Iman Vellani is really good in the role. Nick Fury as a character has completely changed for the worse, though. He used to be a badass spy king, now he's basically everybody's uncle.
I can't put together why Brie Larson just hasn't delivered as Captain Marvel. She's an outstanding actress, but I think she's just too hip for the room. There are times throughout this movie where she's literally jumping rope and she just looks uncomfortable, like she feels shame she's doing something this silly.
That's where Gal Godot, for instance, really crushed it. Godot just leaned way in on all the shamelessness and cheesy joy of Wonder Woman and completely became that character.
Larson seems to always have a leg out the door. That's the best way I can describe it.

British actors seem to enjoy doing the hammy stuff more than American actors for some reason. They asked Anthony Hopkins why he decided to do the hammy schlocky roles instead of the serious ones nowadays and he replied he did the serious roles so he could have fun and play the hammy schlocky roles later.
