massive improvement on previous Thor films

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2018)

I found the first two Thor movies rather earnest and dull; with the exception of Loki, all the characters were quite bland.
But this film was a breath of fresh air. I remember laughing in the first few minutes and then being astonished as, at no point, did I stop smiling.
The cast were outstanding, particularly Chris Hemsworth. He was very funny in Ghostbusters, but this comedy performance was even better.
It helps that only a small part of the movie is on Earth: we get to see various different life forms and a new planet, so Hulk can smash to his heart's content without fear of injuring lots of defenceless humans.
Great action too. Highly recommended
