Embrace the silliness

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2017)

This is a great movie, but you have to be prepared to embrace the silliness. If you want a serious superhero experience or a profound philosophical provocation then don't bother to watch this one.
It is silly. It's very silly. There are wacky and random Easter eggs, off beat humour, and great action scenes choreographed to a music score that screeches 1980s sci fi.
Most of all, this is a fun escapist adventure with a couple of groan worthy moments but fewer than appeared in GOG2.
If you're looking for a 2 hour holiday from the everyday, then embrace the silliness, enjoy the startling visuals and then go home and question how such a ridiculous narrative actually reached the screen. Then thank kiwi director Taika Waititi for having the guts to produce it.
Go and enjoy a unique experience.
