god of Thunder

Rating: 7/10 (15 April 2018)

Thor was my least anticipated film, but boy was it good. Bragnah knew that Thor needed to be Shakespearean and stylized. Asgard looks beautiful and the costumes are fantastic. Hemsworth and Hopkins give such great performances in their titular roles. Hemsworth is just so likeable and charming, he really made me care for the character who used to be my least favorite avenger. Hiddleston is also fantastic and he really knew how to craft Loki into a mischievous villain while also being sly and weasly. So Asgard is great, Thor's great, the effects are great. What could be bad? Well the scenes on earth are actually kind of meh. Nothing against Portman, Dennings, and Skarsgård they perform well, it's just after seeing the world of Asgard we are thrust to a bland Earth in a New Mexico dessert of all places. The story is well crafted however, and there is so much character development for everyone, but the origin story and the plot (mainly Earth scenes) feel less epic and more or less unwanted, but they needed it for the story so you can't really complain.
