Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube
A mildly entertaining film with a poorly executed plot, mediocre action sequences, love story that never quite connects, and hit-and-miss humor. After a decent start, the film quickly goes off course as we catch up with Thor after his most recent appearance in “Avengers: Endgame.” The pacing here is just bizarre, and we suddenly end up with the main plot kicking into gear and it feels like we missed half of the villain Gorr’s story somehow. Just as quickly we end up in a love story that’s never quite compelling, and then a few strange detours before the finale. The final battle isn’t too memorable, (and neither are most of the other action sequences), and it all wraps up with what supposed to be an emotional ending. However, it just falls flat. There’s a ton of jokes throughout the move, but many of them miss the mark. There’s a mid-credit scene that seems important, and a post-credit that doesn’t really go anywhere.
