Thor (3D) (third-pass)
Cert: 12A / 112 mins / Dir. Kenneth Branagh
You can read my first (2011) review of Thor here, and my second-pass one here.
Pardon? A double-bill with 2011's tousled-lock-fest Thor leading into a midnight-showing of 2013's swinging-hammer-fest The Dark World? Why wouldn't I be interested? Hmm? You're right, I do have work in the morning; but it's nothing that coffee can't fix. YEAH!
So I think we all know the score. Gratuitous chest-shots from Chris, gratuitous smouldering from Tom, and gratuitous smashing-things-with-a-hammer to keep the everyone else happy. I'd actually forgotten that the 3D's not too shabby in the first half hour or so of the film, I'd forgotten how much time we spend on Asgard throughout, and I'd forgotten how good Jaimie Alexander looks in body-armour. All three are points in the film's favour.
Going back to this movie after the excesses of Avengers Assemble and Iron Man 3, it actually seems quite… well 'restrained', somehow. It's a marvellous scene-setter for the God of Thunder, but works better as part of the ongoing series than as a standalone adventure.
Yep.
Yep.
For me? Yep.
For me? Cinema. Hence this review.
A little, but not too much.
Yep.
I'm pretty certain I heard one buried in an explosion, yeah.
Where's Lorelei though, hmm?
