This movie was not great, but certainly not terrible. Thor himself is a likeable character, which leaves lots of room for error in this case. The best part of the production felt like it took place at the very end with Hemsworth's own daughter, who showed more natural acting in her few scenes than most other takes ever did. A lot of it felt sappy and seemed to be trying too hard with the jokes, which would have been fine if not for its confusing balance between target audiences. Sometimes it seemed like it was a movie for kids, what with screaming goats and goofy histrionics, while other times there were scenes that certainly were intended for mature audiences.
To be honest, it was hard to feel like Jane was a likable character. I feel like it sent an odd message, too, when she simply died of cancer. Like, what is that supposed to show us? It certainly felt like, for all it's progressive stances, there was an underlying misogynistic and Christianized root. It was like: don't worry, you'll go to heaven (or Valhalla). I appreciated the LGBTQ+ representation, and yet somehow it was clearly written by a man, as can be shown by the scene in which Zeus snaps away Thor's clothing. Not to mention how all of Natalie Portman's Israeli beauty is completely obscured whenever she holds Mjölner, because of course in order to become a female Thor one must look the part: fake blonde and only slightly more submissive than Thor at all times.
