Thor XXX (4 Stars)
Brendon Miller returns as Thor after first playing the role in 2012's "Avengers XXX". He fills the role so perfectly in looks and mannerisms that he could be a stand in for Chris Hemsworth. But the praise has to go to Axel Braun, as always, for his casting and costume design, not to mention the story. We see Thor's old enemies from the 1960's, the Enchantress and the Executioner. It's about time we saw them in the real Marvel films, but even then I doubt they would look as perfect as Nicole Aniston and Dick Delaware. I know I previously criticised Dick after seeing him in "This ain't Terminator XXX", but in this film he makes up for it. He's so perfect as the Executioner that I could hardly imagine anyone else playing him.
Most of all, in this film Axel Braun gets Heimdall's skin colour right. I have to say, emphatically, there are no dark skinned Gods or other residents in Asgard. They are the Gods of Norway, and it's a white-only community. However skilled Idris Elba might be as an actor, he was a very, very poor choice to be cast as Heimdall. No amount of arguments about political correctness can excuse this blunder.
I need to warn any of my readers who decide to buy this film that there is another film with the same name that was directed by Jordan Septo and released by Extreme Comixxx. There is a glut of porn parodies on the market at the moment, but only the ones directed by Axel Braun can be recommended. At the AVN (Adult Video News) Awards this year he won the award for best director for the fourth year running. Despite his modesty in his interviews it's obvious to everyone: he stands head and shoulder above his peers, bringing a level of quality into the porn industry that has never been seen before. I'm sure he would contradict me if I said this to his face. That's the sort of man he is.
