Rating: 9 out of 10, It is exactly what you expect/hope for from a Marvel superhero flick. Non-stop action as the forces of Asgard assisted by some plucky humans battle against some really coolly conceived dark elves trying to plunge the universe into eternal darkness. Hemsworth is a really capable actor and had the wife oooing and ahhing every time he found the need to remove his shirt. For those of us with a Y chromosome, the action, almost all CGI, was the routinely jaw dropping quality this series of films has produced. Natalie Portman is a real reach as the braniac human love interest but the best lines and part in the movie belong to Loki. Tom Hiddleston steals every scene he’s in and keeps you guessing right up to the end which side he’s on. A true trickster. You know going in what you’re going to get with a Thor movie and that sets a film up for disappointment. It takes those expectations, runs with them, and delivers. I don’t think there’ll be any Oscar noms coming out of it but it is what it is and that is entertaining – pure escapism. Right down my alley.
MVP: Hiddleston continues to rule as Loki – what a great character
