not surprised but seems like the Guardians are gonna dip after like 15 min based on that trailer. IT'LL HAVE TO DO I SUPPOSE
didn't love Ragnarok as much as some but it was at least better than most samey Marvel movies. Really impressive how Taika's taken Thor from probably the most boring MCU character to one of the most fun
this was...v good! Go figure that the reception has been relatively lukewarm for this of all MCU movies. Kinda reminds me of how a lot of people didn't love GOTG2 either. I guess we're just looking for different things!
speaking of GOTG2, this was easily the best MCU movie since that one I think, I liked it a fair bit more than Ragnarok. I actually LAUGHED at this movie...a lot! Wowee

this was actually sitting at a 4/5 for me through the first two acts but it did kinda start to falter down the stretch. Gorr was kind of underwhelming in the end, cool design and Bale did his darnedest but there wasn't much to work with there
Zeus kinda stole the movie for me, actually glad he's still alive. Crowe fuckin KILLED, he was funny in Nice Guys but mostly played the straight man there, but he was genuinely hilarious in this
The mjolnir/stombreaker rivalry comedic beats really worked for me too. Especially every time stormbreaker started creeping into frame
Loved the little worldbuilding bits with the corporatized New Asgard, wouldn't have minded spending more time there. Unfortunate we didn't get to see what the theater troupe had cooked up for their next performance :(
The Thor/Jane stuff didn't really GET to me much emotionally but it was well done enough, I'm just glad Portman got to go out on a high note and actually get to have fun with it rather than just playing Scientist Girlfriend
No no. Don’t even. This was overt. That was the marvel formula tenfold. The tone was too comical and the serious moments felt sudden and sharp- out of place. The plot was rushed and messy. 12 hours later I’m still in shock how bad it was. I will give you that it had a few jokes that were lol funny but overall it was such a garbage movie.
idk maybe this is where the difference lies for me, 95% of Marvel movies don't make me feel anything in the dramatic moments anyway, so I didn't mind this mostly skipping over that pretense and committing to being an all-out farce. If the ratio of comedy/drama was like 90/10 in this as opposed to 70/30 in other Marvel movies, at least this had a good hit rate on its jokes which I can't say for most others
I will give you the plot was a bit undercooked tho
