No comment on this yet? I know Marvel/superhero movies are ubiquitous at the moment and there is a tendency to look down on them here but this is a quite different proposition.
Director Taika Waititi has really stamped his own identity all over the film to produce the most explicitly comedic offering yet in the genre. Obviously Deadpool and the Guardians of the Galaxy were already pushing things in this direction but this takes it to a new level.
My previous knowledge of Waititi was his work on ‘Flight of the Conchords’ and the excellent ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ and the spirit of those pervade the film (somehow I’ve not managed to see ‘Hunt For The Wilderpeople’ yet but people have told me I’ll love it).
Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo play Thor and Hulk as characters in a buddy movie and it’s significant that Jeff Goldblum’s appearance is far more indicative of the film as a whole than Cate Blanchett’s overblown more typical Marvel “super” villain.
I loved it, going back and taking the children before before Xmas hopefully.
