It's crap, but I like it.

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2016)

There are plenty of things wrong with this film, like there are with practically all of the marvel films.I don't like films that lean to heavily on special effects for instance, Thor does. I like a bit of plot and character development in my films, Thor has neither. Although, to be fair. Thor does turn from an arrogant prick into a nice helpful fellow in something like three minutes flat, if that's not character development I don't know what is. To continue: the fights are bonkers, events happen for little apparent reason, Blacks and Asians apparently can be Norse Gods (I don't mean to come across as a racist but I studied Norse mythology for a bit and there are no Blacks or Asians in it) and the one-liners are so cheesy you could catch mice with them.
All in all this film is full of things I hate (not that I hate blacks or Asians, really I don't) but I like it. The acting is solid, the overly-prevalent CGI does look good and the fact that there is no character development to worry about does mean there's plenty of action to keep you entertained.
In a sense films are similar to food. Sometimes you want to go all-out and have a fancy three-course meal at a high-end restaurant and sometimes you just want to have a kebab-roll with unnaturally orange gob leaking out the sides and garlic sauce dripping down your fingers. Thor is like the kebab-roll, it's not intellectual, high-brow or in any way intelligent, but it's likable in the right circumstances, just leave it for a day when you need some light entertainment.
