I cannot emphasise enough how disappointing I found this comedy. I call it a comedy but I did not find it at all amusing. It has nothing in common with the original comic book character of Thor that I used to read as a child. I was a great fan of the Marvel comics but the latest Marvel movies are nothing but ridiculous. Why do they keep turning them into bad comedies?

I don't think I will bother with any future Marvel movies because they are getting increasingly worse with formulated bad humour jam packed with special effects. The essence of a good superhero story is simplicity and hope. DC comic movies get better and better whilst Marvel movies just get more ridiculous.

My advice, don't bother with this one.

I only watched this because Glen Ford plays the sheriff character. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the simple yet stylish cinematography and flow of the story. There is a slight comic book element but somehow it doesn't follow the usual US made formulas. That's a good thing.

Time isn't wasted on building up complex characters except the necessary background of the suspects. The script is simple, the action is believable and the story is interesting.

On the negative side I didn't have any nail biting experiences or thrills. The outcome was predictable quite early on, so no surprises there.

I confess that this pretty nearly had me in tears. I've always been a massive fan of Phil and the band.

It's a very well put together documentary with plenty of music and interesting interviews from those who were around him whilst he was alive. Some of the extra imagery was very professionally produced. The pace is perfect throughout.. So many thanks to the producers.

It didn't go into his drug addiction in much detail or mention some of his conflicts with people but hey. Why dwell on the darker things in his life? This is a celebration of a truly great man.
