Zeppelin should be ashamed to allow this.

It was great use of the Immigrant song in the movie. Its perfect for the scene.
The film felt like a tribute to Jack Kirby. They made Hela as her drew her. She was a total Kirby Hela.

Finally got to see this movie yesterday. It was constantly sold out in theaters near me. I went in with no expectations and never watched a trailer.

TLDR: It was ok, almost a little boring and predictable.

First, like a lot of you guys have already mentioned, the humor feels very forced, doesn't seem fluid or natural. The movie reminded me of how awesome Michael Keaton's batman was then by the time it got to Val Kilmer and especially George Clooney, the world of "batman" changed that it became more of a comedy skit with occasional plot drama rather than plot with bits of comedy sprinkled in. If Marvel Studios continues down this path, I might not even bother watching whatever comes next unfortunately.

Second, sword fighting and hand to hand combat between semi-gods (is that a word) or group of very advanced beings looks great cinematographically, but it's revealed that 2 "primitive" automatic rifles are far superior at cutting down trained warrior veterans who have conquered entire worlds in their past. Really? Why not just use "primitive" weapons in the first place instead of swinging a stupid sword or a stick. Just doesn't make sense. I mean, imagine if you had Valkyrie's ship with her super people-killing-guns at Assguard and could wipe out the undead army in a few seconds flat. Probably wipe out Hela too while they're at it. The movie is just horrible at showing scales of power.

Third, everything was a CGI fest. Not that CGI is bad in of itself but my god, they might as well have Avatar'd this movie. Nothing looked real or believable, at a few points in the movie, I though I was watching a Lego movie. I don't really see a good solution to this. Maybe CGI tech will advance even further but until then, I think they really need use it more conservatively.

Overall, it was just ok. Not sure why it got such great reviews and why it was sold out around here.

Saw it last night. It's okay. They played it safe with the usual superhero movie formula. Had this movie been released several years ago I'd favor it more highly.

I did like the easter egg where they said the name of the getaway ship, Commodore. It made made me smile. The Commodore survived and was on the back of the larger ship at the end.

Saw it last night.

First, be sure to calibrate your expectations: this is a very silly movie. Whereas Spiderman: Homecoming is snarky ("hey, you guys aren't the real Avengers!"), this is silly in the same vein as GoTG #1. Although I felt like they tried too hard with the music/humor in GoTG #2, this felt more like a spiritual successor to the first one in terms of humor. So Thor 3 is epic + silly. If you go in expecting that, you'll enjoy it more...it took me like until half of the movie was over to get adjusted lol.

Jeff Goldblum was great. Cate Blanchett was great. Mark Ruffalo was great. Benedict Cucumber was great. The director was great (Taika Waititi as Korg). Tom Hiddleston was great, as always. That was a super fun movie...great visuals, great CGI, story was easy to follow, didn't take itself too seriously. I think that's a big reason they cut Natalie Portman out...she's not a silly actress. At times the humor was a little bit of a stretch (these are my babies...Des & Troy...get it? Destroy?), but overall it was pretty fun.

Goodbye new Doug!
