Sorry, I didn't find it funny

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2017)

If it was an action/adventure movie that had some humour that fell flat, it would've been OK. Unfortunately, they turned it into a comedy (or close to it) with just plenty of action. And I could overlook that kind of treatment if the jokes were funny. They weren't. They were shallow, predictable and felt, for the most part, forced.
This comedic treatment also made the story lose its substance. The deaths of Thor's friends, and to a degree, Odin, became inconsequential. Even the impending fall of Asgard didn't carry much weight. Talk about making too light of grave situations.
Then there's this "new" Thor. Is he powerful or just second rate? Is he a seasoned warrior or a bungling idiot? His characterization was very inconsistent - sometimes great but mostly, just an immature, clueless individual who was 'beaten' by almost anyone in the movie (Hela, Valkyrie, Hulk, Dr. Strange, a group of bounty hunters, Surtur and so on.) Let's not even talk about Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Linda Carter would mop the floor with this guy! The guy who's arguably the most powerful Marvel character. For the sake of comedy, Thor was reduced to this mess of a hero.
The action was okay but nothing really new. Fanboys probably got a treat with the Thor vs. Hulk sequence but the choreography of their fight wasn't done very creatively. They could do better. Just look at The Winter Soldier's fight scenes.
The art of the film saved it. Its retro style, coupled with iconic led zep music made it quite unique and a treat to watch visually.
Overall, it wasn't a bad movie. Just highly overrated.
