Worst Marvel Movie ever. I don't think this could have been made if Stan Lee were still alive. The contempt shown for the characters just wouldn't have been allowed. It's like a "comic book movie" made by someone who hates Comic books. First off, I am unsure there was a script. Many of the lines appear to be adlibbed, off the cuff and included because, well, why not? Secondly, the singular nature of the sound track grows steadily more annoying as time progresses. You almost find yourself pondering just how many Guns N Roses songs can they possibly squeeze into one movie? Thirdly having already alluded to the fact there's no script add to that the fact there's seemingly no plot either. Poor Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie spends the second half of the movie with little or nothing to do. Likewise Natalie Portman, slumming, I'd put it, in a role that demands very little of her talents except perhaps cliched patient. I'll credit Chris Hemsworth for at least keeping a straight face throughout this fiasco.

Thought it did a good job of laying out the various aspects of Naomi's life. It's good to se a centered, normal teenager instead of the usual fraught , tortured personas TV lays out for us; in service of some agenda. The interplay between the lead character and her various friends and parents is a real highlight. The story itself, while following some well established norms of this genre was fresh enough to pique your interest in what is to come. I hope they're able to keep the overwrought special effects to a minimum and concentrate on what people really want to see. That is, how do the ordinary handle the extraordinary?
