Leave a commentI didn’t think it was THAT bad, however it did take FOREVER for the movie to get going. I didn’t like this one as much because it was too far out there. The thing about the rest of the Marvel movies is that they generally have a touch of the otherwordly, but they make an attempt to make it fit into real life so it is somewhat believable. This one made no attempt to do that and it was so far out there that it may as well have been a Lord of the Rings or Star Wars movie. Loki was the best thing about the movie by far. This one spent way too much time in other worlds and spent little to no time trying to find a way to make it even a little bit believable. The second to the last scene with “The Collector” was a throwback to the really bad later Star Wars movies. They could have at least made the guy somewhat believable, but they just made him a Liberace lookalike with bizarre manners and strange houseguests that looked more like Studio 54’s martian night than a credible movie character for more development. It was a waste of Benicio Del Toro.
It’s Vikings in outer space. You gotta have a certain mind set when walk into this.
Since my son and I watched with low expectations, we were pleasantly surprised. The movie doesn’t take itself too seriously and actually has some laugh-out-loud funny scenes. We found ourselves well entertained.
