'Captain Marvel' Gets an A CinemaScore

Amongst massive box office returns, Captain Marvel has now been awarded an "A" CinemaScore. Moments ago, CinemaScore unveiled the popular movie rating, making the Brie Larson-starring movie the 16th "A" rating Marvel Studios has gotten.

To date, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has earned 16 "A" ratings and three "A-" ratings (The Incredible Hulk, Thor: The Dark World, and Ant-Man and the Wasp). Marvel Studios has had just one movie fall out of the "A" range with Kenneth Branagh's Thor (2011) receiving the studios lone "B" rating. On the other hand, the production house has just had one A+ rating, which came in the form of the Oscar-winning Black Panther.

In the age of digital media, a film's CinemaScore is one of the most reputable means of gauging actual audience interest in a particular film. The organization uses a series of ballots to poll moviegoers across North America. Upon the conclusion of the film, members then turn in the ballot — which, in turn, is then tabulated as CinemaScore assigns the movie a letter grade from A through F. That means for a score to count, a person must have sat through the movie prior partaking in the survey.

In the meantime, Captain Marvel made over $20 million in its preview last night and is on pace to make something in the range of $60+ million tonight on pace for a whopping $156-$160 million haul this weekend.

I saw it last night and although i wouldn't say it was a great or groundbreaking film i found it quite entertaining. I'd give it a B+

Incel rage over this movie is all over YouTube. I guess they thought their hurt fee fees would destroy this movie.

Looks like it will be a huge hit instead.

I doubt I'll ever see another Super Heroes movie. Enough already!
The movies are fine, I'm just tired of the format.

namely, we know what is going to happen and the writers have to write "backwards" in order to connect the dots that have already been written. Probably the best "prequel" movies are Solo and Rogue One.

Who whooped and laughed and loved it -- and who cheered at the mid-credit scene (no spoiling!).

I am a not a man, and a huge nerd, and a huge Marvel fan. This ties with Captain America: First Avenger for my fav MCU flick -- great origin movie.

Brie Larson was perfect as Carol Danvers.

May the Flerken be with you! Go see it!

It just wasn't a very fresh movie. The CGI fight scenes were predictable and, frankly, I found most of the film to be a snoozefest. I think we've just been inundated with too many movies in the genre too quickly.
