I just finished watching the "Infinity Saga" of Marvel... oh my! I don't feel like writing much about these films, so, as I did yesterday, I’ll just leave the list and the ratings. Now I’m off to see King for a Night by Scorsese. I need it.

I have a slight fear that I’m not enjoying Marvel, because okay Iron Man was a good movie, but beyond that, Hulk was a piece of junk, Iron Man 2 a hot mess for half of its runtime, and then there's this Thor...good God. At least with the other two I can give them the benefit of the doubt that the direction is always good, even if they are poorly executed. The direction of Thor...is quite atrocious, especially for one detail that annoyed me tremendously: every 20 seconds there's a "slanted" shot, where the perspective is tilted to the left or right that adds absolutely nothing to the film; on the contrary, it ruins it quite a bit in my opinion because I can’t tell if it was intentional or just a botched job. Maybe both, anyway, let’s not dwell on that, let’s talk about the film...well the film...the film...so: Thor's story can be summed up in a few words, and they would be "Thor is unworthy of the throne, is cast down to Earth, meets some guys, can’t get his hammer back, meets friends, saves Earth, kisses the chick he’s formed a stronger bond with, becomes worthy of the throne, kicks the ass of his evil brother"...that’s it. Also, Thor is a character whose intelligence is comparable to Forrest Gump, I’m not joking, this guy invades the realm of giants just because two giants came into Asgard, it’s like finding two pubic hairs on the toilet seat and going to set fire to the groin hairs of the one who left them, this God of thunder is an idiot and doesn’t get any better after that. At least this film has one thing that makes it worthwhile: Loki. Loki is perfect, he's a great villain who acts on his own without using force, only words; I probably have a weakness for mentalist villains and not for the "I’m ugly and mean, I’ll kick your ass because I’m the strongest in the universe." But Loki isn’t enough to save this flat movie, with its poor story regarding the protagonists and a rather poorly made direction. Marvel, you really need to do much better than this.

I watched two Marvel movies in one day, I think I lost a neuron. Especially since the first one was quite bad and the second barely modest. It has a very solid first hour, where the villain, the protagonist's situation, and the presence of the army in this story are introduced; unfortunately, in the second hour it completely falls apart with terrible pacing, poorly placed jokes, and plot holes (Tony Stark manages to obtain alternative energy from the thing in his chest based on the expo model left by his father...why? For what reason? Is there a reason that the formula is in that model?). The new characters don't help hold up a second half that stumbles: the guy from Hammer is... unbearable, he wants to come off as proud at certain points but then stupid jokes come out (the ex-wife, whoever knows, knows, I cringed and I rarely use this term to describe my emotional state towards something) and above all, the villain...doesn't exist (?); like, yes, it makes sense for him to do what he does...but he’s not a great villain, he only acts during the car racing scenes and at the end, for the rest, he’s just chilling in his workshop doing his thing, and it wouldn’t be a problem if the movie were 80 minutes long, but it lasts 120, so an hour and ten of film he spends... doing not much in the end. I don’t know, this could have been a good movie, but the second half really falters too much at certain key points. At least it’s not as excruciatingly boring as L'Hulkone.

I saw the iron man: fun, I wouldn't mind seeing it again at all. Great cast, a very simple story divided into distinct parts but beautiful to follow, beautiful directing, it's aged a bit poorly in some technical aspects but it’s perfectly watchable. A straightforward yet genuine superhero movie, two hours that fly by as if they were nothing. This marathon starts off well.

I believe I will make @[RamirezAlHassar] happy by saying that I should soon start checking out the works of that circus of "Martello Con Ukulele (MCU)". In the meantime, for some obscure reason, I watched the recently released Thor and it’s a little crap written with armpits, but "Thor: Love and Baturli" is way more cinema than all the Verdone films that have come out in the last 10 years.
