Thor: The Frat God

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2020)

SYNOPSIS:
After making an irrational decision based off of emotions, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is cast out of Asgard and his powers are taken away. He ends up on Earth where he has to prove himself worthy of Thor's power once again all while his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) has dark plans for the future of Asgard.
REVIEW:
Thor would simply be that friends that everyone messs with, you know? Like a chill guy who's just good to his core and very compassionate and if you cross him you get the hammer. This film creates that so well. This is probably one of the funniest most entertaining MCU films so far. I know a lot of people will disagree, but I think this film is funnier than Ragnorak. Hate me all you want and my answer won't change. With all of that being said, I don't think it's top 5 Best MCU films ever made. Possibly not even top 10. I'd have to go through every film again and by the end of this marathon I'm having, I'll have an updated list. I think as far as a character study, this film did great, it really introduces us to the type of person Thor is, as a superhero film, it was decent. Nothing terrible and nothing amazing. What keeps you in this film is the dynamic of Thor and seeing going through this rough experience and coming to peace with the fact that he made a mistake that costed him everything he loves. The love story between Thor and Jane (Natalie Portman) was done a lot better than The Incredible Hulk, however, time spent on that could've been spent on the rule of Asgard at the hands of Loki and that dynamic. Again, I understand this film went more the route of introducing characters and it does just fine with that. Chris Hemsworth carries this film from beginning to end and this film accomplished what it set out to do and for that I give this film a 7.1/10.
