The Thor that broke the camels back.
I'm having very mixed feelings regarding this film and the more I think about it the more I dislike it. I think that much like with Chris Nolan and "Tenet" this will be the film that turns people off Taika Waititi (at-least those like me who were on the fence).
I don't know where to start.
The humour was downright outdated and cringe worthy. I caught second hand embarrassment sitting in the cinema.…

You’ve missed a date with someone you believe to be the perfect soul mate. Much like an Edward Hopper painting, giant glass windows invite you into a world of loneliness and quiet contemplation.
