In general, I liked it a lot, with the big exception being that whatsername is the most forgettable and generic antagonist we've gotten since like... Thor The Dark World? Like I honestly do not comprehend how Marvel does so badly at crafting villains outside of a select few exceptions. She had exactly one emotion the entire film and then ended with her only motivation being power (Captain Marvel just like letting her get back up and trusting her to cooperate was cringy too, like this woman just did a whole ass genocide, possibly two since we never followed up on the musical planet, and you're like cool with it?)
Aside from that though, I really enjoyed it. Kamala absolutely carried the whole movie, and I saw it with a friend who had never watched Ms. Marvel and was just startled by how energetic and fun she is. I agree that the tone was inconsistent, but I think a lot of that falls on how poorly they handled the Kree in general.
Ocean musical planet is a blast, so much fun, so cool, very funny seeing Carol have to go into a whole number while also needing to take the situation seriously (which was actually a benefit of the inconsistent tone). My only complaint here is that I wish 1. it lasted a little longer and 2. they followed up on it. Like they abandoned the planet after bringing the Kree forces there, the same ones that wiped out the entire Skrull planet. Did those people survive? It said the planet was 99% water so it's not like they had unlimited resources to fight with there. Carol was rightfully mad about them just ditching the planet, and then it never followed up on what happened.
Captain Marvel herself is great, and honestly a joy to watch most of the time. Like she walks a fine line between being serious and silly, like you see her demeanor change immediately when she's told she needs to herd all the kittens and it's hard not to like her/
Action was pretty solid throughout and the accidental teleporting mechanic was fun.
Post credits scenes were both very exciting, mostly because I actually avoided spoilers! Seeing Kate was already great, but then Kelsey Grammer returning as Beast had me thrilled (I'm still of the opinion the X-Verse > MCU). Kinda feels lazy that it's just like... the X-Men are part of a different universe, but I think we all knew that was coming.
