Review Detail

Thor was one of the origin mcu films that I really liked. Ok, not every second of it but it was pretty good intro to the character and fan movie in general. The only reason I decided to watch this edit is because I was intrigued by the idea of the restructed narrative.

Technical wise, audio and visual editing was excellent! Leaving my knowing-the-movie-by-heart out, I couldn't notice any tampering in any scene. It was as if this was the theatrical cut. So job well done here!

On the narrative side of things I'll say this, this is by far the best way, especially for someone who is unfamiliar with the character, to watch the film! Although, I won't agree with the editor that you truly feel as if the guy isn't actually Thor. I mean, there are several reasons for the viewer to be certain who the "blonde guy" is, not necessarily in-movie reasons. But, with that being said, it does match the narrative from the view point of Jane. You get to see the actual Thor, when Jane finally knows that he truly was Thor all along. Also, considering the fact that every origin movie ever, presents you the actual hero towards the middle of the movie, again, the editor's narrative here fits better.

So I definitely recommend this to everyone, even more so if you have no idea about comic book Thor! For me, the only reason that this will probably not be my go-to version, is the lack of subtitles. And since I really liked the original also, I'll stick with my blu-ray...Btw, if anyone knows if there are english subs for this, I would appreciate the info!

Thank you Malthus and thanks to anyone who read my review!
