Will I watch it again? Oh, yes.
Top drawer! I liked the two previous Thor movies OK but the character hasn't really done it for me like the others. He had his moments but that's it. But when I saw the first trailer for this third installment, the one where Thor screams "YES!" when the Hulk shows up in the arena, I about lost my shit. It looked like my indifference was about to change. And it has. This movie is hilarious, loaded with great action and great characters and it's fun as hell. I LOVED it! There's so much to gush about but I don't want to spend a half hour writing paragraphs that'll just sit here with me sounding like a giddy fanboy. It's been a few hours since I saw it and I'm still jazzed about it and can't wait to see it again. And how about Mark Mothersbaugh's wonderfully different with a nod to the 80s score? Nice!
Thor is FINALLY fun. I think this character has just been missing the funny. Everyone does a fine job and I do mean everyone. The humor is all over the place and all of the major characters get a few opportunities for laughs. Anthony Hopkins had me in stitches when he first showed up. Look for Sam Neill playing Odin in the stage play and Matt Damon as Loki (I didn't notice them at first. I had to read about it damnit). Goldblum is being Goldblum and he's glorious. The end battle was good and Cate Blanchet rocked as Hela. I want her back for more. The story is great, too and the pacing couldn't have been better. There's a lot in this flick and they pack it in with skill of a surgeon. After having not seen the other Thor pictures since their theatrical release (and only seeing them each once), I think I'm ready to dust off the Blu-rays and give 'em a spin. I'm definitely going back to the theater to see this again. Wow! Just wow!
