Five stars! Seriously. This is by no means, your typical comic book movie. In fact, it is not comic bookish in any way....and it was awesome! As someone who is a fan of comic book movies, I think I actually prefer THIS. It is a total retelling of the Thor/Norwegian Norse Gods Myths in a way that makes it feel so realistic. It makes you feel like, “Damn, if someone were to suddenly discover they have crazy powers of some kind, it would probably go exactly like this.”
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!
There would BE casualties. There would be panic, fear and anxiety. It would take time and lots of mistakes, before this person could ever try to figure out some measure of control. You wouldn’t look perfectly styled all the time and immediately be hailed as a hero. You would be TERRIFIED of yourself. And the end does set it up PERFECTLY for some badass kind of sequel that I would LOVE to see. I have no idea why “critics” are not liking this film but clearly they really don’t know what they’re talking about because I am seeing countless reviews from audience members who also LOVED THIS MOVIE!
