The first hammer throw of the Thunder God!

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2019)

The hammer-wielding and good-looking Thor in his first adventure in the MCU. Director Branagh passionately takes over the narrative style, from this comic book template. You can already see, however, that Branagh is a big Shakespeare fan. Almost monumental, he draws the figures of Thor, Odin or Loki. The city of Asgard is also more likely to come from Hamlet than Marvel. The story tells Branagh well and he also incorporates a lot of humour. For when Thor falls to earth, he has already lost the power of a God. It's not until the second half of the film that stands out. Therefore, it is amusing that the arrogant and beautiful Thor himself falls on the snout and remains equally entitled. Of course, Thor is the hero, so you have to disguise it that he is the same as a human being. He can still fight better and has more strength than three people combined.
In addition to Hemsworth as Thor, there are other confessed performers to his side. Natalie Portman gives the typical, chaotic scientist. While she's a bit cranky, she makes her likeable alongside the overpowering heroes. Stellan Skaarsgard is an old professor who is more than a father figure to Portman. And, of course, Anthony Hopkins as Konigsgott Odin, who still brings a bit of sparkle to this hero saga. Narratively and visually, Branagh has managed not to straddle the adventure on torture for long. You look at it to the performers, which was fun. But among the other Marvel heroes, Thor remains rather weak in content. Although Thor is like that, everything remains self-evident and remains superficial. Conclusion: A colorful adventure that is told briskly. Only character drawing is left behind!
