I've heard it's so so, we have Disney+ here at home and it's soon to come out on that platform when Disney do their Disney Day thing... actually it might be out by the time I am replying to this... hmm..

Anywhoo, yeah I think the Thor train has lost it's mojo and

 Al> are pretty fresh and laugh-out-loud. Unexpectedly so.

The director I agree has done a lot to put New Zealand on the film map (I guess much like Peter jackson). .. but to be honest his sense of humor and his style of speaking I hear this a lot already in New Zealand... so it's like he managed to take something fairly common but not well know overseas and export it / give it some sunshine to the rest of the planet?? Just my take.

What I notice is when Taika?? is involved in a project a lot of the characters he plays/voices all start to sound or behave the same way... there was one the other day on Disney (Lightyear) and he played a character in that film... well voiced it, and I thought he sound just like a few other characters I have seen him play...   that rock creature in Thor (sorry can't recall his name)...
