It isn't, lots of great movies start that way but in this case you are bang on the money! I've never made it through 'Ben Hur'.

We just got back from a spring break road trip and we listened to the book on “tape” on the trip. The movie was faithful to the source to a fault. It all felt very paint by numbers and left me flat. The kids liked both the book and the movie so we’ll reading book two next.
Well I told the kids they need to read the books before seeing the movies so it will probably be a year before we get to movie 3. It’s my understanding that they get darker and more mature as they go on. My kids are only five so I don’t want to race through these books.addiesin said:Moe_Syzlak said:So I feel like I’m he last person on earth to see this movie, but we watched the first Harry Potter movie last night.

Movie 1 and 2 are both like that. Movie 3 got a new director and with it, a new production design across the board, including a new actor playing Dumbledore. After 3, all the films follow 3's design. It is my favorite of the eight films.

I can take or leave most Marvel films so haven't rushed to see this, especially not being too keen on the two previous Thor films. I thought this one was a blast, laughed out loud more than I do in most comedies, loved that rock dude. Up there with first Iron Man as the best Marvel movie for me. It really felt like they gave the director 'carte blanche' to do what he wanted. More like this please.
bionicbob said:I know I am in the vast minority on this one, but for me there was waaaay too much humour. It is the same problem I have with the first 3/4 of Last Jedi, the story plays too much like a comedy, to the point it breaks the Marvel "reality" for me. In Guardians of the Galaxy, the humour feels more natural and genuine, while in Thor most of it felt very forced and in many places it fell flat. I am not saying I didn't laugh out loud or wasn't entertained, because I did and was, but at the same time, on rewatch, it feels out of place and out of character in the greater Thor Marvel mythos and almost borders on becoming camp. :s
