Matt Walsh does an outstanding review of the new "Captain Marvel" and shows it deserves several, if not every, Oscar.

Captain Marvel," which the star promises will be the "biggest feminist movie of all time," opens this Friday. That same star, Brie Larson, has also declared that she doesn't want white males reviewing her film. So I proceed here with great caution and continuous apology.

The movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes has already given the feminist superhero movie high marks. Many of the compiled critics have lavished the film with extreme praise. Some of the positive reviews, on the other hand, use not-so-positive descriptions like "forgettable," "not top tier," "a work in progress," and "more of a solid building block for future endeavors than a must-see solo adventure," but ultimately give the movie a favorable grade. It is an action film with a female lead, after all. You are not allowed to dislike it. Especially if you are a white male. It was on this same basis that the all-female "Ghostbusters" was lauded by critics and "Wonder Woman" was acclaimed with the kind of praise usually reserved for Renaissance paintings.

Not one to break the rules, I will say only two things about "Captain Marvel": (1) I have not seen it, and (2) It is a towering artistic achievement. You may object to my reviewing a movie I haven't seen, but why do I need to see it? I already know what opinion I must — literally must — have about it. And so I can report that "Captain Marvel" is the most remarkable film ever to grace the silver screen. Frankly, it makes "Citizen Kane" look ridiculous, by comparison. I feel the sudden urge to go to Orson Welles' grave and yell at him for making a movie that is so much worse than "Captain Marvel." I do not know why any filmmaker ever bothered to make movies that aren't "Captain Marvel," or why they will continue to make movies even though "Captain Marvel" has already been made.

"Captain Marvel" is, in a word, miraculous. Some white male critics have called the movie an "inspiration" and a "supernova." I agree with their assessment even as I condemn them for taking jobs away from female movie reviewers.
