too entertainment-ish

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2018)

First of all, I like this movie, I enjoyed it while watching it. My lower-than-average rating is because this movie is not as good as I hope it to be. The filmmakers give up developing interesting storylines, instead they decide to cater for children and dimwit adults (such as me), and make it a movie of two-dimensional characters smashing things.
Thor and Loki seem to have had some mutual influence on each other. Thor has become more trickster-like. He stole from Valkyrie in order to free himself and other prisoners; he told Hulk he preferred Hulk rather than Banner, then later told Banner he preferred Banner rather than Hulk; he was able to detect Loki's every attempted deception. I guess in a way Thor is integrating the Jungian shadow (yes, I am pretending to be a pseudo-intellectual). And Loki has become less enthusiastic about killing everyone and ruling the world, (that role has been passed on to Hela). Loki has taken on some responsibilities as an Asgardian prince. He came back to Asgard to help save their citizens and took part in the fight against Hela.
So, out of Odin's three children, two of them are mass murderers, I have to say there really is something wrong with Odin and Frigga's parenting.
