Quotes

[first lines]
Asgardian Distress Call: This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman. We are under assault. I repeat, we are under assault. The engines are dead, life support failing. Requesting aid from any vessel within range. We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families. We have very few soldiers here. This is not a warcraft. I repeat, this is not a warcraft!

User Reviews

If you've not seen all the other films, it can be a bit confusing.

I think there's waaayyy too many 10/10s here. I saw it on the IMAX.

This film did not blow me away. A 10/10 film should be able to stand alone as a great film; this clearly wasn't that.

Due to the fact there were so many characters, you couldn't help but feel the rush to make sure everyone had screentime and that was at the expense of storytelling, which as you'll see below, it could have done with a bit more of.

As I hadn't watched all the other relevant marvel films, I didn't quite understand some of the character's strained relationships with each other - they could have at least done a flashback...but then I guess there'd be even less time for storytelling!

It was a 'good' film, but I regret going to see it at the cinema. Good Netflix fodder.
