Movie Reviews of Adventures of Captain Marvel

Movie Review: A LITTLE OVERRATED BY ENTHUSIESTS.
Summary: 4 Stars

This 12 chapter dvd often gets compared to the Superman and/or Batman dvd serials. Personally I see no difference in picture quality for any of these. They all look great. I still feel the Superman and Batman serials are more exciting. But the one thing Captain Marvel has in it's favor is, it's roughly one hour shorter than the other serials mentioned. Therefore it doesn't get bogged down with wasted filler that many other serials seem to suffer from. Unlike the Superman/ Batman serials there is no voice-over telling you to come back next week. Recaps are done in written form. Although he has similar abilities to Superman, Captain Marvel does not have Superman's patience or compassion. Just get this disc and you'll see what I mean. As for the DVD itself. It's all 12 chapters on one disc, a trailer, a play all mode or chapter select. English only language track and no subtitles. But it is closed caption encoded if your dvd player and tv are set up for it. I recommend using chapter select over play all. Here's why. After a chapter is over you have to sit through the Artisan Entertainment sign. Then you have to wait for the Republic Pictures logo with the eagle on the mountain. Then you have to endure the warning page. This happens in between every chapter and believe me it's very time consuming. Chapter select avoids all that and goes straight to the actual production.
