Forums - Movies & TV - Who saw Thor: 3 ? Like it love it#^?

I enjoyed it, primarily because of the fight sequences (which were all appropriately badass), but i felt the humour got in the way of the plot. Any sense of danger, suspense, etc, was continually thrown away in exchange for an easy joke. It felt like almost every scene was judged on the basis of "what's this scene's Pac-Man going to be?". Even the destruction of Asgard, a scene that should hold a lot of weight (especially in a Marvel film, where tangible loss is rare), was made to feel insignificant.

Did anyone care when Hela kills all of Thors friends? No, neither did the movie or Thor apparently who never mentions them.

I absolutely hated how the Three Warriors were outright killed by Hela to set a mood point with her but then nothing ever came from it outside the Three Warriors being killed with extreme prejudice. It's like the Marvel universe stopped having any sort of use for them entirely so they were there to give some shock value that goes absolutely nowhere.



Didn't like it. Too goofy.

It became predictable, every time a serious scene was going on, I knew they would end it with a joke or something goofy. I couldn't take anything serious. Same complaint as Guardians of the Galaxy 2.



The director is very famous in New Zealand for making movies with this kind of random humour. I felt like as a kiwi I could laugh alot at some of the kiwi jokes which helped make it more enjoyable.



Purely as a film, it was fun and enjoyable, if a bit exaggerated in occasions.

As a Marvel fan, that read Thor comics, it was terrible. They made Thor and all characters of its universe a joke. MCU Thor is downright pathetic, Loki is washed down, Surtur is laughable. Only Hela was good. This was not a Thor movie, it was a reskined Guardians of the Galaxy flick.

They even managed to remove all internal conflict from the Hulk and make it a joke. And to add to the insult, they got the Planet Hulk story, which if freaking great, and ruined it in 20 minutes. The warbound members were used as comic reliefs. MCU Hulk is more like a big friendly Shrek than the real thing.

Normally I enjoy the humor on the MCU. Characters like Iron Man, Spidey and many other fit well with this thing. But not Thor, he always carried the sense of importance and grandiosity from the Jack Kirby (and Walt Simonson) days. So he is ruined.

Hulk is following the same path, they set up a nice storyline with him feeling guilty about how uncontrolled we was on Avengers 2, but the simply just forgets it all (and also doesn't seem to really care about his 2 years in Sakaar) after a few minutes. Total joke.

Edit: I don't want to even start about how Odin is a joke in these movies and the total absence of asgardians like Baldur.

This Thor movie, however, throws absolutely everything out of the window and sacrifices the suspense of every single moment for a cheap joke. That's what it becomes: a running, tired cheap joke that's as boring as predictable. And with it, characters pretty much stop being what they're supposed to be but just a puppet to the screenwriter's will to insert more jokes (seriously, I can't point it out more than I already have, Banner is a massive idiot in this movie and he's supposed to be some sort of genius scientist).

That was ridiculously clear in the final scene. It was dramatic, saddening and then, suddenly, a crappy Hulk joke.



It basically becomes a full-on comedy which kinda kills any/all tension in the film, but it's enjoyable.



I think it is the best Thor to date.

they took the slowest Avengers franchise and made it cool and vibrant.

Very witty and funny.

Yet even Guardians of the Galaxy knew it had to have a big serious moment without a joke. Groot in first one and Yondu in second at climaz had emotional moments with no undercutting joke. I don't mind humor, but every single time and the delivery was just awful.

 

"Let me tell a joke" something dramatic occurs "Now let me explain the joke for thirty painful seconds". You need more of a balance for payoff in jokes.  It never trusted itself or the audience to care and give them more in a movie of such high stakes with death and destruction.

Best thing about Odin is like "yo sons, here's this huge problem I should have warned you all before, now I'm going to pass away into dust and it's all up to you to deal with it k bye".
