An Honest Review

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2017)

OK, this isn't what the advertisements say, at least its not the best Marvel movie (I think that title stills goes to Winter Soldier). That being said, it IS the best Thor movie.
It is certainly an escape from the normal Thor movies. It's an escape from the Asgardcentric feel of Dark World. And, well, the best parts of the first Thor were the parts when he was on Earth.
Here we have more humor in the film, which isn't unique for Thor, but this one has more of an Antman feel, or at least it has the humor we saw in the Thor Spots around Civil War.
It works, the humor plays very well and it's done, well, perfectly. Thor's humor is almost in the vein of a jovial meathead and a very likable one. Plus, Chris Hemsworth has great comedic timing and sensibilities. He knows how to deliver a joke in a believable way without going over-the-top.
It works.
And, of course, Tom Hiddleston works exceptionally well with the lead.
Mark Ruffalo has returned and he has been gone far too long. Far too long. And, really, Hulk is the best character to pit with Thor, both in his green form and as Banner.
I'd go further, but that would lead into spoilers, but it was nice to see a spin on World War Hulk, and it did leave the door wide open for another Thor story...
And if they do continue this saga, it would be wonderful to see it done in the same way.
This was a great break from the previous Thor films, which, especially with Dark World, felt kind of like a chore.
