Thor (2011): A Rainbow Bridge Too Far Or Shakespeare On Steroids?

Ben & Rob take a swing at 2011’s ‘Thor’; Marvel’s Kenneth Branagh directed fourth instalment in the cinematic universe that redefined the box-office. Introducing the third and arguably strongest Avenger, ‘Thor’ finds Asgard’s buffest boy banished for boisterous behaviour whilst his smarter, more attractive brother ends up man of the house. With Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman and the incomparable Anthony Hopkins in leading roles, the film succeeded at the box-office despite a lukewarm reception from critics. But with Thor’s enduring impact on the Avengers and Marvel’s entire franchise, does this first chapter of his tale still stand up? Is this just Marvel’s play for reflected ‘Lord Of The Rings’ money? Why is so much of this film shot at a 45 degree angle? And will Rob have ANY respect left for Ben after some of the ridiculous statements made in this very show? CONSUUUME to find out all of this and much, much more! PLUS!
