Review of Thor (2011) by Barney O — 31 Oct 2016
WHAT I LIKED: 'Thor' is majestic, fantastical yet extremely heart-filled. Sound good? Well it really is, and I think that's mostly down to Kenneth Brannagh's Shakespearean characterisation bringing this great world and these awesome characters to life in a surprisingly relateable manor. That doesn't mean we can't give this insane cast all the credit they deserve though, and nor does it mean we can't take our hats off to Marvel for giving this risky project the go-ahead. It's all the more praise-worthy when it's so charming, and in the end it will will make you smile, triumph, and it'll even tug at your heart strings.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: It could have done with a touch more action and a more interesting plot to add to it's overall impact. Oh, and, what was Loki's plan exactly...?
VERDICT: A fantasy take on Superhero films, 'Thor' is sadly Marvel's forgotten gem - it's actually very good.
