Review:
A thing of beauty.
I loved the comic mini series by Rodi and Ribic that came out some years ago and I love the visual take Marvel Knights have created based on it.
This is not superhero "Hulk smash" material, but a powerful character study of a villain.
As in the comic, the visual rendition is lush, even stunning and the language is beautifully medieval.At approx.
60 min.
runtime, a bit more than 50 if you don't count repeating intros and outros, the animation style is reminiscent of a web comic, yet superior as character sketches are subtly animated and mixed with CGI to create the feeling of medieval cut-outs.Beware, this is not your every day cartoon.
Just as "Watchmen" was the first graphic novel, this may very well be the first cartoon theatre play, the topic being as meta as the two-dimensionality of comic characters.
The creators of this animation are to be commended, as they have tried to make a cartoon for adults only (no, not THAT kind) and succeeded.
It is truly a thing of beauty, a joy for ever..
Visually Great..nice work by Marvel Knights..
Its a must watch for Thor fans, I would say.
Loved the way how they portrayed Thor and Loki, and their differences.
Marvel sure did a great job here on the visuals/animation.
This series has a certain mature feeling to it.
The action could have been much better though, 5\10 for action.
But i loved the whole theme.
There are four parts of the series, each one approximately 20minutes.
All the female characters are surely sexy.Recently I didn't see any interesting marvel animation put in this way, this is more dramatic then the rest, for sure.
The story starts off pretty well with Thor being captured and held prisoner by Loki.
Loki, now the king of Azguard.
So for Thor fans, i suggest you go for it..and enjoy..
Well it looks cool....
I'm sure most people hate the motion comic thing but it looks really good here.
Unfortunately it's Thor and Loki so the dialogue is tedious.
It's classic Thor.
If that type of thing interests you..
Thor & Loki Blood Brothers.
I watched Thor & Loki Blood Brothers mostly out of being curious.
What I saw I couldn't believe because I never seen anything like this before.First off this four episode series is based off a dark comic book from Marvel and watching this you get the felling it was a comic book coming to life.The voice acting is pure you can get the sense the cast were really interesting in doing a good job and they did their voice just goes wowThe writing is very good which is my favorite part of this series each episode has some very well done writing and it makes you go wowThe animation has to be the most original I have seen because it really feels like the comic book was coming to life it goes just have to watch to believeBut the problem with the series is the plot while it does follow the comic it is based off some of it could have been more.
Overall I have to say this was a interesting series if you're a fan of Thor and Marvel you might enjoy.
A Dull Morality Play.
Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers is a four episode motion comic from Marvel Knights Animation that is based on the 2004 miniseries Loki.
It is essentially a character study of Loki (David Blair); Thor (Daniel Thorn) spends the vast majority of the running time as a mute prisoner, with only a few brief flashbacks.The story opens as Loki is celebrating his takeover of Asgard, with Thor, Odin (Joe Teiger), Sif (Elizabeth Diennet), and Baldar (James Hampshire) in chains.
Loki soon learns that ruling an empire is not all it's cracked up to be.
He must mediate in what seems like every petty squabble in the land, and his allies in the rebellion begin to demand payment on his promises used to secure their cooperation.All of this comes off as a cheap Shakespearian tragedy, with Loki brooding and plotting but not really doing anything.
As such, it is aimed at adults more interested in political machinations than teenagers more interested in action.The artwork is the best part of the production.
There is a real sense of dimensionality, and the character designs are quite detailed.
Loki is portrayed as an old man with missing teeth and lined face.
The Asgard warriors are musclebound and the females are full-figured, to say the least.
The superb backgrounds fill the screen with beauty.
However, the limited animation detracts from the overall effect with its jerky movements and static compositions.Each episode is about 20 minutes of story, so I'm not sure why the producers opted to break it into four parts.
It would flow better as an uninterrupted movie.The ending is unsatisfactory.
Completely unsurprising spoiler–Thor escapes and wreaks retribution on Loki.
We don't see what happens to several principal characters or the fallout of Loki's villainy.Thor fans will undoubtedly want to see this production because it adds some interesting layers to Loki's personality and his relationship with Thor, but I can't recommend it for anyone else.
The limited animation, lack of action, and lack of a satisfactory payoff makes this a dull morality play.
