Synopsis
When a cosmic force threatens the universe, Thor must navigate ancient prophecies, shaky alliances, and his own complicated family ties.
Review
Fun character interactions and some striking settings work hard to make up for a murky narrative and weak villain. The central concept also lacks weight, with story beats feeling more like an obligation than a driving force. The dynamic between Thor and Loki injects much-needed personality, preventing the film from being a total wash.
This movie is part of our complete MCU retrospective.
