LabraTor, Koschei and the Stone-on-Stick The movie "Mighty Thor" is fascinating. I was forced to watch it, but I did not regret it - how much hysterical laughter!
It's a mockbuster, which is a movie with a budget on shoelaces so that it comes out two weeks earlier than the super-hyped big premiere with a surprisingly similar title. It was released by the studio Asylum, familiar to me from the unforgettable “Sharknado” and known worldwide epic about the Mega Shark. That is, if you are interested only in high-quality, worthy cinema, shot by people in love with cinema, you can no longer read.
And we'll continue...
The film begins very quickly, without any prefaces. Not far from the toy tride castle, someone very similar to Koschei the Immortal jumps out of the ground, and a frightened soldier exclaims “The Demon Loki attacked Valhalla!” Valhalla, on the one hand, was ready for this attack, as hundreds of archers stood aiming at exactly where Loki had jumped out, and on the other, given that he had just burned all those arrows... One way or another, Odin and his sons – a bald, muscular Balder (he’s bald, got it?) and a wimpy whiner Thor – go into the cave to the Norns – three chicks wrapped in sheets. They explain that Odin's time is over, Loki will defeat him and destroy the world. Odin and Balder shrug their shoulders and go to die in battle with honor, while Thor delivers a short speech on the theme “we make our own destiny,” which no one listens to. Loki kills Thor’s father and brother, and he is rescued by a girl with an unpronounceable name Yarnsax and indistinct status (she seems somehow connected with Odin, lived alone (?!) in a training camp, protected better than Valhalla, wields magic and was in Midgard). One threw his Hammer of Invincibility (sic!) into other worlds, and only the Torah before his death told him where to find it. Loki Hammer is needed to destroy the universe, so he pursues Thor. Thor argues with Yarnsaxa about this: “I must kill Loki and avenge my father!” - You can't, you fight badly, you lose to him twice. - No, I'm good at fighting. I'll kill Loki! - You're our only hope. You'll die. Even I beat you three times without difficulty. - I must take revenge! Loki, come out! - I punched you in the face for the fourth time. Shall we go hide and practice? - No, I'll kill Loki! Now! - Thor, shit! ! . .
The ending is amazing. Thor behaves like an idiot throughout the film, repeats the same mistake he was clearly pointed out to, seven times over, does not make any personal evolution - and, having learned no lesson, wins. I don't know why.
Acting game... You're laughing, it's an Asylum movie. Cody Deal plays Thor’s idiocy very well, but apparently it is more a natural resemblance of actor and character than a talent of a lyceum; when he does not look anywhere with the appearance of an idiot, he portrays a sad-sad Labrador, the expression is exactly that. Patricia Velasquez clearly remembers how cool it was to star in “The Mummy” and thinks if the fee for a taxi to home. And only Richard Grico, who plays Loki, although he does not move his face much, but at least he grins and walks hard; however, he was lucky with the role.
About three-dimensional dogs and the castle, reminiscent of the golden time of arcades, we will not talk better.
At the same time, there are interesting finds in the film. Mjolnir, which looks deliberately archaic - a barely processed stone, wound to a stick; a battle of the gods, in which torus tries to use "Uzi" as a military trick ... Of course, these ideas are not presented properly, but they are ideas.
Given that Marvel’s Thor was also not a great movie, Mighty Thor is in fact not much inferior to the original – and Loki is even more successful here. No Natalie Portman and decent special effects, but it makes up for the hysterical laughter you can barely hold.
