With Avengers Endgame releasing later this year, I am in the process of doing REWIND REVIEWS of the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in order of release. I have so far reviewed Iron Man, The Incredbile Hulk and Iron Man 2 (if you'd like to check any of them out please follow the link in the description to my channel!) Next up is the God of Thunder himself THOR.
When this film first saw the light of day I was actually pretty keen for it. I'm a big fan of Kenneth Brannagh and was keen to see what he could do behind the camera and it was cool to see an Aussie as a super hero despite his past on Home and Away....
When the film first hit cinemas I was there day one and saw the movie a couple of times over the course of that week having really enjoyed what we got. Now that the movie is coming on a decade old however I look back at it in a different light.
Thor is an interesting character in that he has evolved not only a as a character over the course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but has also seen massive evolution in the writing room to make him more fun and light hearted and NOW a huge fan favorite. What Taika Waititi and the Russo's have done to move his character from Shakespearean douche to pun throwing bad ass is quite interesting in and of itself and I think most of us would agree Thor and the MCU is better for it.
In this review I look back at THOR as a now 8 going on 9 year film and look at the character in retrospect. This film feels so different when you look back at it as the MCU has gone leaps and bounds beyond these small, low stakes outtings that now feel so out of place in a world where the universe is at stake. this said some might find it refreshing.
Regardless of your opinion on the film, I woul love to continue the discussion in the comments section so please come on over, watch the video and tell me your thoughts on 2011's THOR.
If you enjoy what you see consider dropping a LIKE and SUBSCRIBING.
Much love people!

Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
