The Most Disappointing Marvel Movie To Date

Thor and Thor: The Dark World are my favorites among the Marvel movies so I was looking forward for this movie and I too, waited for a long time like everybody else. 

I knew this might turn up to be a disappointment when they released the first trailer which gave me the impression that the third installment for the God of Thunder movie series will finally succumbed to the overly-used Marvel formula: cash grab.  

I was confused if I was watching Thor or Guardians of the Galaxy and I’m pretty sure the director got confused too. It was unfunny, the grit was lost, the jokes were out of place, the acting was over the top mediocre, even Tom Hiddleston’s fan favorite portrayal of Loki got overshadowed by the mess. It was a mess. I wish I made this clear at this point. 

It was a joy though to see Cate Blanchett in her role as the feisty new villain. That is my only consolation, other than that, I really have nothing left to say. 

The weakest of all Thor movies, and the most pointless in all of Marvel. Thor: Ragnarok is nothing but a movie about a boy playing dress up, fighting for “something”, flooded by Hollywood’s prominent names, littered with corny slapstick comedy and to be honest, not so impressive visual effects, (and crappy soundtrack). We move Thor to be extinct. 

Grade: 2/5 stars 

Kirsten Stewart is Annoying AF, And She’s Not Even In This Film.

  
I have so much love for Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain. They are my favorite actresses ever and I seriously just love them to death. To see them in one film is just an inspiring treat. And Charlize Theron is as brilliant as ever. She’s literally the definition of gorgeous. 

Now, Snow White and the Hunstman when it was released a few years back, wasn’t that bad, but it was also not good. Kirsten Stewart, though beautiful as Snow White, took her stony Bella Swan acting to a beloved princess and ruined it. It was Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth who ran that film. 

This film however, is both a prequel and a sequel. We find Ravena pretty much alive, and Emily Blunt brought Elsa to life. It is possible that they were inspired by Elsa the ice queen, as Frozen was released when production for this was about to start. I may be wrong, but it’s too good to be true. Emily Blunt is so charming that she could never ever play a villain. She can be bitchy, yes, but never evil. I believe I already said that Chris Hemsworth acting is always the same for everything he’s done do far. That’s not good, but that’s how he is so we just need to make do with him.
I adore Jessica Chastain so bad. I love her on The Help, Zero Dark Thirty, and she was Cooper’s Murph on Interstellar, which is by the way, my favorite movie ever. She’s one hell of an actress. 
The plot however, although sincere and pretty straightforward, fails to deliver. I really cannot put my finger on why but it’s just dull and uninspiring. If the characters were played by different actors this would’ve suck big time. So that’s probably why they’re chosen. 
The winner on this one is of course, the very eccentric, talented, Oscar winner Colleen Atwood and her gorgeous costume design. Why so genius? She definitely outdone herself with this one and her designs just made my eye popped. Not only the queen’s costume but even the supporting characters. 
Overall, Hunstman Winter’s War is saved from it’s dull plot by a stellar cast, and the only good thing about this movie other than the cast’s effort is that Kirsten Stewart is not in it. 
Grade: 3/5 stars
