A terrible cringe-fest with bad music and juvenile humor.

I'm going through the Thor movies back to back on Disney, and the inferiority of this movie compared to the previous two is very obvious. The first two films seem like they were made for the entire family to enjoy: mum, dad and the kids. This one is just for the kids. It's crass, it's camp, it's a joke.

The soundtrack is tacky, the humor is embarrassing, the main characters have lost their dignity.

The storyline strayed too far from reality, there is very little of Earth-life shown, and the relationships that Thor developed there previously have been completely discarded.

Costumes and set design - bad. Especially on that trash planet. I know they were going for an 80s feel, but trust me as a child of the 80s, this turned out cringe. Not to mention the horrid 80s-inspired music which abysmally failed to capture the 80s sound.

The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is for the great actors involved including Cate Blanchett and Jeff Goldblum (even though the director didn't seem to know what to do with him and the only direction he seems to have been given is to camp it up). Blanchett is a great actress, yet she is wooden and unconvincing here.

Which brings me to the directing, it's bad. Bring back Branagh!
