It’s wonderful to see Thor joining the madness universe altogether. The film happens to be an absolute ‘on the rocks’ for the fans with beats on human sentiments, crisis, hilarity and more. While there definitely gets a giddy touch to the reality checks, however, the film comes out victorious with an amazing directorial by Taika Waititi. However, what’s more, the director manages to make a stamp in the giant multimillion-dollar studio with the film. With sheer treatment of empathy, the film further gets a thumbs up with Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman’s romance, for further chunks, Christian Bale’s stellar antagonism.
The film swings off with a flashback to the origin of God Butcher, then it dives head-first into the universe of the humble Thor Thor aka Chris Hemsworth, in his worst crisis ever, who is yet to get over his undone relationship with Jane aka Natalie Portman and has been off from the track to fight on the odds and antagonism, however, while he suffers from the existential crisis he gets loaded onto with action as Gorr aka Christian Bale hails on his villainous motives to the plot. There where we see Thor getting back into action, rugged up to smear the world with his new journey.
But while we talk about the goods, there are loopholes that are caught in! Well, the unreal establishment of Gorr aka the God Butcher! The heavy name definitely sounds way too much to handle, in reality as we go through the film, Gorr kills only one God and that makes it somewhat less impactful. The omnipotence goes a bit off with the showcase, however, would have been believable, if the director and co-writer Taika Waititi chose to reel over a better flashback. Too many massy old jokes over and over again, also makes it somewhat dull and boring.
What’s more, while we expect such genius pieces to be on the chronology, Thor somehow misses on its chronology and swings like a roller coaster from one to another. Also, earlier while we have witnessed bombarding cinematography and sheer treatment of light, props and setting, this, however, looks way too flat at its first glance.
Speaking of screen presence, like we earlier said, we thoroughly enjoyed and cherished the brilliant chemistry between Jane and Thor, with Bale aka Gorr’s intimidating and intensified act as the antagonist, but we still feel that Natalie’s screen presence was too and undeniably short in the row! Also, her becoming into Mighty Thor and then reuniting with Chris aka Thor in the plot, and in the later part, the two restrict Gorr from hurly-burly seemed a bit overcooked. The script needed more polish and cuts, we believe.
This gambol, which sets Thor in opposition to Christian Bale’s gaunt God-slayer, is somewhat imitative and phoney. But definitely on its last note, it’s a worthy watch for the fans, and if you haven’t, go get your tickets booked.
IWMBuzz rates it 3 stars.
