Best unintentional humor in a review nomination

Post by randy »

Big Hollywood review of Thor

Methinks this guy is unaware of the history (mythological and Marvel Universe) of this movie:
...magical hammer named Mjolnir (what IS it with all the convoluted names, too? They’re hard to understand, which only adds to the emotional coldness of the film)
This coming from a guy named "Kozlowski " :roll:
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

"home planet of Asgard"

:shock:

We read the old Norse legends when I was in grade school here in central Illinois! Did this guy miss third grade?

It's really no different than reviews on any film that's ever been made with history to it. Remember the critics saying that Passion of the Christ made it out like the Jews wanted Jesus to be executed? I facepalmed so hard I still have a mark on my forehead.

..the fact that this movie’s Earth locations are all in a desert town just makes things seem rather unimpressive. It’s hard to fear for the fate of all humanity when you’re only seeing a couple hundred rednecks leaping into pickup trucks to get out of the way of a single alien warrior...
Yet again we see the lovely bias Hollywood has for us "little flyover people."
