Shakespeare meets Thor

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2020)

Feige tried something new, got Kenneth Branagh do a Shakespearian superhero film.
Thank god they casted nobodies like Hemsworth and Hiddleston, now these 2 has cemented their roles as Thor and Loki. Anthony Hopkins gave a good performance as Odin. Natalie Portman is a great actress but she lacked something.
The movie does a magnificent job of world building, establishes Asgard and gave good expositions linking real life Norse Mythology and explains it through science and not only just magic. Asgard's set pieces were grand and felt real.
Thor getting unworthy and going to earth for a fish-out-of-water story is a great storyline.
I really felt bad at the middle when Thor couldn't pick up the hammer.
Looking back Tom Hiddleston as Loki is phenomenal. His acting of slowly working, in the back, for jealousy and planning to trap Thor to get unworthy is so great.
The Shakespearian elements were great but it cuts short for Earth's story, which is also great but both mashed together didn't feel so right. Execution could have been bettet
This movie gives Thor a great character arc for worthyness but for me it felt cliche as we all knew it was ganna happen and Thor going up to the steel guy to protect his friends felt underwhelming for some reasons. The final battle of Thor and Loki was good at first watch but Loki sacrificing just for future tricks didn't work after multiple viewings.
Some of the earth's character were annoying. I did like slowly building Shield in the background.
The movie does a great job to set up Loki for future but inturn decrease this movies worth.
