Last night I went to a preview screening of Captain Marvel two days ahead of its release date to review it for Scenestr magazine. I have been to all sorts of screenings over the years, long before I got to be a freelance writer, Karen was winning tickets in competitions and taking me along. However until last night I had never been to a preview screening of a Marvel blockbuster. I attended it at the top of the Myer Centre in the Brisbane CBD with other press and social media influencers who had been invited along as well as elite female athletes which was on theme for the story of a powerful woman. We were given lanyards and a free drink from a makeshift bar. The VMAX cinema the film screened in was perfect for making use of big theatre sound. I do think there are things that could’ve been done better in the film but overall I enjoyed Captain Marvel and you can read my review here http://scenestr.com.au/movies-and-tv/captain-marvel-review-20190306
This is coincidentally the 90th piece of writing I have had published with Scenestr and my 150th overall. Produced by Eyeball Media Enterprises Scenestr. is an online national magazine with local offices around Australia. Having started in 1993 they’ve excelled at moving into the digital realm but they remain at heart from the streets. They still publish magazines in print for Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland every month

Good review, Lloyd. I like Brie Larson and happy she gets the title spot. Not a big Marvel fan, sorry, I find them repetitive and dull.
Thanks Cindy, I like Larson too but I’m not sure if she’s as good a movie star as she is an actress. As for Marvel, you’re not alone.
A balanced and fair review, Lloyd. I won’t be watching the film, but enjoyed reading your stuff.
(And seeing the pizzas you both ordered!)
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete, very admirable how you read my reviews of comic book movies and appreciated. I love pizza. Best wishes Pete.
Me too! 🙂
Maybe I could do a pizza crawl around Brisbane?
That would work for me. I like mine with black olives, asparagus, red onion, and mushrooms. About the only time I ever eat ‘vegetarian’. 🙂 🙂
Intriguing.
I was thinking of doing a putt putt one.
Is that like a Tuk-Tuk?
Americans call it miniature golf?
Ah!
That must be the coolest part, seeing films early.
It’s a bit of a thrill especially when they’re anticipated.i also enjoy seeing films at festivals months before people discover them.
Good review, Lloyd. I don’t know about spending money to see it, but I did just order a pizza.
Haha. What type was it?
You got a stake in DC anyway whereas I’m happy to swing both ways if it’s a good movie.
Good to get your thoughts on Captain Marvel. I enjoyed reading your honest and fair review. I keep hearing a lot about this cat. 🙂
I look forward to your review, if I miss it, let me know so I can check it out. Sometimes I’m off the grid like everybody else. 🙂 thank you for the kind words and checking out the review.
