What do you think? I hate the cgi.
Taika cast his girlfriend, apparently.

Yes, it looks ugly and not different to the other Marvel movies. A lot of people are saying that Waititi and Raimi are “saving” MCU and someone used that meme with a colorful woman sitting alongside another totally in black claiming the first one was Thor and the other Doctor Strange but I kinda think DS is the colorful film This one has colors but they all look gray! Lol The “difference” is Waititi humor. That’s his “style” not something visual like Raimi. He isn’t a visual artist, IMHO
Also, I know it’s not exactly the same but what about the red cap and the Guns and Roses? Is Thor a Trump follower?

Which one is his girlfriend, Magda? I thought that was Jane Foster at the end (what's her face from the Star Wars prequels)? Do I have to watch this abomination again because that kind of sucked and I didn't notice Rita Ora anywhere. Maybe it will be OK? I don't know - Ragnarok was fun, but it was fun because of Loki and Valkyrie. I am ambivalent on Guardians of the Galaxy.

The actress name is Natalie Portman but I don’t think she is his girlfriend.
About Waititi, I liked his vampires movie but I didn’t like his acclaimed film about the kid who ran away alongside Sam Neill. I thought it was dumb and kinda offensive with its unfunny pedophiles jokes. I mean James Gunn almost lost his career for those kind of jokes but at least he clearly was trying to shock, Waititi wants to be “cute” and that’s disgusting! I haven’t watched his Holocaust comedy but I kinda understand the negative reactions to it. Nothing against bad taste or grotesque humor but there is an issue when they are in service of “cute” storylines!

Nothing against bad taste or grotesque humor but there is an issue when they are in service of “cute” storylines! I liked What We Do In the Shadows. I liked Ragnarok. I do not like that he cheated on his wife with his assistant then dumped the assistant for Rita Ora. I do not like knowing this and I do not even know why I know this. I saw Jo Jo Rabbit (the one where Waititi played Hitler) in the theater and it was really good. Heartbreaking and funny and I cried quite a bit. The girl who played Lola (TPOTD) was in it. She was great. Scarlet Johannson was great, too. Sam Rockwell was superb, especially at the end. *Always take my reviews from actual theater viewings with a grain of salt, though - I will ALWAYS like them more in the theater than at home. Not that I will always like them, but I will be more generous with my reviews if I see them in the theater. Except for The Lighthouse. I left that movie going WTF and, yet, my movie friends seem to think I loved it (dear readers - I did not). Williem Defoe was brilliant in it. The fog horn and soundscape was brilliant in it. Robert Pattinson mumbled so much I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying. Because my friends think I love that movie, I guess we are going to go see The Northman. JOY. I haven't seen the Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Or, that new pirate based one that people are raving about.

I hate to say this because I actually like the guy but we are being very negative today so… I think RP is a bad actor! I always forget it and get excited for his next film (not The Batman!) because he has good taste and works with great people like Robert Eggers and then I watch the film and I remember it! I’m still hoping one day he will be good, tho.! So I will continue watching his movies! Lol
Anyway, that was my problem with The Lighthouse. It looked beautiful and it was bonkers but the two actors seemed to be in very different movies. Dafoe was great, big, funny and scary and then you have the inexpressive kid trying to give a big performance but being totally inexpressible and blank.
The Witch is great and has a more straightforward story.

You are 100% spot on with this observation! I am not a huge RP fan, since he became a star when I was the wrong age to actually pay attention to Twilight. I mean, I read the first book and couldn't get past how icky the relationship was, even though there were some neat ideas (like vampires playing baseball). Back to the VVitch - Anna Joy Taylor and Kodi Smit-McPhee morphed into one person in my dreams a few months ago. It was scarily accurate about how much they look like each other with their wide, set apart eyes, long necks and thinness.

I will accept NO complaints about the Thor movie, even if it sucks. It is perfect in every way, right down to his Oprah cape reveal after his weight loss, lol. ☺️
