Trolls Are Already Review Bombing Captain Marvel on Rotten Tomatoes
Taking place in 1995, the film will predate the events of Iron Man, which kicked off the franchise in 2008. Given the time period, Captain Marvel will feature (still two-eyed) Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) and Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) at the time when they were still young S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives. Incorporating the Kree-Skrull war into the narrative, it'll also introduce key players from both sides of the conflict like like members of Starforce, Yon Rogg (Jude Law), and Talos - Ben Mendelsohn's Skrull leader. With Marvel studios taking a step toward the right direction with regard to adding more female presence in the MCU, many are eagerly anticipating what the movie will add to the franchise's lore. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy about this move.
A peek at Captain Marvel's Rotten Tomatoes audience reviews reveals a slew of hateful comments left not just about the film but also about Larson herself. Most of the trolls' comments are about Larson being a vocal feminist and how this movie pushes feminism to the forefront of the MCU. Because of this, they assume that the movie will ruin the franchise - with most of them announcing that they won't be watching it in theaters. Obviously, one could argue that people expressing these opinions before Captain Marvel has even been released to theaters had no intention of ever seeing it to begin with.
Over the last couple of years, the public has seen this collective move from online trolls bashing films because they don't like the message that their narratives convey. Disney's Star Wars: The Last Jedi was one of the first blockbusters to be prominently targeted by review bombing after members of its fandom didn't like how Luke (Mark Hamill) was written in the story. The trolling became so toxic that it drove some of its stars like Kelly Marie Tran and Daisy Ridley off of social media after being harassed online. Last year, Black Panther also went through a similar thing with the shut down of a Facebook group page recruiting members to sabotage the film's audience score. Fortunately, from the looks of it, this take-down job is backed only by a small but vocal number of people, with Captain Marvel still tracking for a solid $100 million opening weekend.

Whatever happened to watching movies, and I don't know, enjoying them? These trolls are making it miserable for everyone else and the sooner they crawl back under the bridge they came from the better.

Not surprised they are up to their old tricks. 
But... I went to go see it to spite the RW trolls. So yeah I didn't expect much, but spiting the trolls was worth it! 
The complainers probably though she was supposed to be Shazam. 
/revision/You can look up 40 years of Marvel history and see that Captain Marvel has always been female! What a shocker! 
I guess I should have used Google. I'll show myself out. 
It must suck to be as hateful, loathsome and boorish as they are. 
People are tired of their schtick!
I have heard Kate Mulgrew talk about the initial negative reaction of the "fanboys" to a woman being a Starfleet Captain and the lead of a Star Trek series. Death threats were sent to the network. She said that the brass was very nervous and for weeks some of the executives would be present while the show was being taped.
I loved Voyager precisely because it had a woman captain, and what a captain she was, Janeway didn't take crap from anyone. I thought that she was a good role model for girls and young women. Mulgrew likes to tell the story of the time Hillary Clinton invited her to the WH to talk to women scientists. Kate thought that she had nothing really to impart, she was an actress and they were the real deal. She was surprised how many of the younger scientists approached her and told her that she was an inspiration to them. Captain Janeway was the only captain who had been a scientist before commanding a spaceship.
Girls need better role models than Disney princesses. There are still far too few women in the STEM professions. We need more Janeways and Captain Marvels.
