So I saw the third installment in the Thor franchise and I was skeptical as marvel films go the Thor ones are the weakest of the them all. The character is so interesting and impressive but the problem is marvel hasn’t done the best job in finding the right tone and way to do this character. That being said this film is amazing so funny and so fresh, the first 5 mins save the character from becoming a back seat avenger.
The film starts off as it means to go on, with an over the top fight with Thor and Surtur and the quick witted humor that is found throughout the whole film. Thor is no longer just a god that pines over a female ( Jane foster who thankfully isn’t in this film) he is the action heavy character that he should of always been, using his powers and his hammer to take on a horde is perfect feast for the eyes.
The film takes off from here finding out that Hella is related to Thor and Loki and then having to save Asgard but unfortunately winding up in the universes dump. This is where Thor meets the hulk and other characters like that of Korg. KORG takes this movie he is so funny from the voice and the jokes he comes out will make this your new fav marvel character step aside rocket and groot say hello to korg and miek. Hulk is also so good being portrayed as a spoilt child or young child in general makes the humor so funny. Hats of to marvel for bringing the little indie direct Taika Waititi who brings his amazing humor to this character, Chris Hemsworth has never looked better as Thor even with the short hair he really is the god of thunder. Not forgetting Loki who brings together the brotherly rivalry we are used to across the films to the next level.
The film really cant be faulted as its a blend of humor and action from the opening credits to the closing ones, you have to see this film it is amazing it is the best film marvel has done since the winter solider, a masterpiece in superhero story telling.
Remember to print enough pamphlets.
