Thor love and thunder

[MickMixon'sMetaphors]

We had tickets Sunday. Drove 30 minutes to theatre and HVAC issues. Theatre closed, no notice ahead of time.  What a Waste of time. 
 

So anyway, I’m seeing mixed reviews.  Is it good?  What are your thoughts on it?

Not great, not bad.  A little silly at points.  

Personally, I think Marvel is introducing to many new characters.  The comic book nerds will love it, but the general audience may get burnt out soon.

Ragnarok probably set the bar for Thor way too high.  I think that has a lot to do w/ the "disappointed" reviews.  It's better than Thor and Dark World.   Not as good as Ragnarok.

It was fine. I went and saw it because I had free time on Saturday, and I keep forgetting I saw it. Made no lasting impression. Christian Bale was perhaps a mistake in casting, because he brings real acting gravitas to the role to the point where he's just acting circles around the Marvel pretty people. It really stands out.

It doesn't hold a candle to Ragnarok. But honestly, almost nothing does. That's one of the most fun movies I've seen in the last decade. Still, I'll see anything Taika Waititi makes. And if this is him missing the mark, he still outclasses 90% of directors working today in terms of making an entertaining product.

 

But I will say, it was great to see a packed movie theater again! Not an empty seat in the house, and the box office returns are great. So I guess general audiences haven't tired of Marvel yet.

Thanks guys.

Agree 100% on Ragnarok.  That was an amazing movie with perfect balance of action, laughs, and seriousness.
