I think there is a truly good movie hidden somewhere in this wanting to come out. But it is chocked by all the cringe and bad comedy. This is the most schizophrenic movie I have ever seen, as every meaningful dramatic scene is instantly nullified by a worthless, pointless comedy scene.
If this was made by a competent writer and director as a proper Marvel movie, like they used to make them, it could have been great. It contains all the right pieces scattered and broken, but unfortunately they are never put together like Mjolnir.
Lack of talent really becomes obvious when you have all the right ingredients and you still can't make anything of worth. Because this is worthless both as comedy and as drama.
Much of the criticism is dismissed with "Oh it's just a fantasy why do you take it so seriously?" or worse "Why can't you enjoy it for what it is?" I don't know, why can't you enjoy a bad meal for what it is? Why should a bad movie be enjoyed?
Story/writing: 3/10 - a weak comedy containing hints of a good movie visuals: 3/10 - muscle suits and mediocre CGI acting: 4/10 - If the director doesn't take it seriously why should the actors? It's all a big joke direction / editing: 3/10 - thank Zeus he is not coming back, but the audience might not either, the damage is done
Overall impression: 3/10
I can't even recommend it as guilty pleasure. This is not so bad it's good, it's just bad enough to make you angry and gnaw at your senses. And give you that tickling feeling in the back of your head: What if it was made by people who respected the material and the audience?
P. S: Natalie Portman had the opportunity to join the greatest female action stars, and be mentioned on one page with Linda Hamilton in T2, or Jessica Biel in Blade Trinity., Instead she will be forever known as the actress who wore a rubber muscle suit.

I was waiting for this movie to give any kind of satisfaction, but this movie gives none, no closure, no reward.
It does not matter how good the directing or the videography is if it is wasted on an unsatisfactory story.
Movies have one job: To entertain or at lest uplift the viewers spirit. This movie made me feel terrible. I don't want a movie to drill it in how harsh and unjust reality can be. While everything that happens in it is plausible and can and probably does happen in reality many times, that doesn't mean it's a good idea to write it into a movie. A movie should have meaning, or at lest a partially positive outcome that makes you feel the suffering in it amounted to something.
I wish I never watched this. Not because it is a bad movie, but because it is a terrible experience, and leaves you in a worse mood than you had before you started watching it.

I didn't want to write off the grand tour after the first episode, so I waited until the second one dropped at least.
Unfortunately it changed nothing. The shows looks like as if the producers gave completely free reign to the three clowns. And we get a barely legal ripoff of Top Gear.
Don't get me wrong I loved them in Top Gear, almost every episode was brilliant.
But this one is completely off the rails, and not in a good way. I felt embarrassed for the bad jokes and awkward punchlines while watching it.
The chemistry between the three can't lift this show off the ground. It seems that they couldn't turn the humongous budget into a consumable show. Like the mobile studio which adds no value whatsoever. The viewer just sees the same interior all the time. And the guest car builder stood out like a sore thumb from the show's structure. And they only really had a few awkward words with him either way.
The cheesiest part of the show is definitely the "American" they're throwing out age old clichés that don't seem even remotely funny. It's bad even as self irony.
As far as the format goes it's too much like Top Gear, but it's nothing like Top Gear at the same time. In it's current state the show is not working.
It seems that they're having a lot of fun while filming, but the end result is disastrous even after what seems extensive time in the editing room.
