About
You’ll likely enjoy Thor if you want a myth-inspired superhero origin with humor and growing stakes in a big, fantasy world; Not for you if you dislike action/attention to dialogue-heavy scenes or want a darker, grittier tone like Avengers: Infinity War or The Avengers.
Pros: great casting; Asgard mythology; character growth | Cons: uneven story; some weak romance; mixed action
