The best Thor movie so far, but not without pitfalls

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2017)

The movie has all the elements of a blockbuster - great action scenes, humor, stunning visual effects, a decent story and talented actors.
The difference from the previous 2 Thor movies is that this one has a lot of humor and the story moves away from the well-known versions of Thor and Hulk. You get to see a different character in both of them.
The letdowns were all the Hela scenes. Cate Blanchett is an amazing actor however she is not convincing as the menacing Goddess of Death. Also, her background information was bleak - where she was all these years and how she escaped were dealt with just a few words.
Thor without the hammer and long locks adds a refreshing spin on the character depiction.
