Lot of polarizing opinions on this -- it was firmly OK. Crammed way too much in, the tone was all over the place, but it had it's good moments. Honestly the most distracting thing was trying to calculate how big the dump truck of money was that Disney gave to Universal for all the GnR songs. Well, and Heimdall's kid insisting on being called Axl. Kind of expected to see Rose as an EP tbh.
Months old spoiler, I guess: |
It's on Disney+ now (not sure if that's where you were watching it).
The issue I had is that it didn't really hit hard with the emotional points it wasn't try to hit. The god butcherer's child dying wasn't as impactful as it should have been. The Jane Foster stuff didn't come across all that impactfully either.
A lot of the action pieces were really dark too, in the sense that they were filmed at night and/or black and white. Based on the ads, I thought the movie was going to be bright and colourful and more like the aesthetic from Ragnorok, which worked really well. The whole counsel of the gods was just kind of odd too. Not really entertaining.
I feel like the movie could have been a lot better with better editing choices. Better pacing and more colour.
