Director

'I can't stress how stellar the performances here are - it really does make all the difference when it comes to getting fully invested in the story. This, to me, is the highlight of the app, because I could honestly listen all day to Thor and Loki's misadventures even without the fitness component.'

'Should you try it? If you like comic books and need inspiration to start moving, definitely.'

- T3

'This could be the start of an explosion in the genre I’ve been waiting a decade for, and I’d love to see more IP get the Marvel Move treatment in the future.'
