Right, let's take off our "Marvel Glasses" for one second.

Rating: 5/10 (6 December 2017)

I had high hopes for this movie; that may have contributed to my disappointment of it, but nevertheless, I found the film pretty unoriginal and uninspired for the most part.
First of all, lets talk about Hela. I adored her design and Cate Blanchett's transformation from the blonde haired beacon to the Gothic leather-bound goddess was quite stupendous. However, what attracted me most about the character was the "bad- assery" that came with being the Goddess of Death, where she crushed Thor's hammer with a single hand. So, with expectations for a good time well above the norm, I was ready to see this character fully fleshed out. What did I get? A comedic comic relief character sprinkled with the darker tone and overpowering greatness. It felt like a McDonald's advert, where Hera's advertisements were sinically great, but the actual product is sort of what you wanted, but most definitely not as good as what they said. The substance is there, but not really. I felt like I got cat fished a little. Overall, it wasn't really the character herself that was comedic, but the atmosphere around her which was.
This brings me to my next point, Super-Saiyan Thor and his ghost dad: Odin. Oh, I really felt the emotion and heartbreak when Odin died, after having discovered him to not be on the throne all this time as he first thought...Not. Even when Thor got his eye slashed off by Hera, there was not even a wince. Also, with the presence of the Mufasa- like Odin initiating his super-saiyan form, it made the only potentially emotional scenes rather dull in that department.
So, all in all, the film was funny. The action hero movie which features the first real death of an influential character in the Marvel Avengers universe, which is just funny.
All those that praise this film for it's hilarity as comedy, I will fully support and agree on. However, as anything but that, I would have to disagree. Marvel films are starting to fall into this trap, especially when you compare Thor to Thor: Ragnorok.
But, alas I have said too much.
