Review of Thor (2011) by Grantd243 — 09 Sep 2018
The Good:
- Chris Hemsworth IS Thor. He's pretty much perfect for the role.
- Sets up Asgard well for future MCU movies, and visually it looks fantastic. - Has some nice character progression for Thor; shows him grow into the superhero he needs to be for the MCU. - The Loki and Thor sibling rivalry is very believable and very well done. This film also sets up Loki as one of the MCU's most formidable villains. The Bad: - The pacing in Thor is never very good. The beginning sets up an intriguing world but then Thor is banished to Earth where he runs around without his powers for a while, and the characters he interacts with are nothing special. It essentially slows down to a crawl and struggles to find its feet for the final act. - The final "boss battle" was incredibly disappointing. - For a superhero film, Thor feels very bland throughout. There is not much excitement and little actual fun to be had. This is essentially a set-up movie that fits well in the grand scheme of the MCU, but isn't that great on its own.
