This might be the absolute worst movie I have seen since Star Wars Episode 2. Never have I seen a company or owner of an intellectual property treat not only the product this badly, but to treat its fanbase like this is astonishing. MarvelThis might be the absolute worst movie I have seen since Star Wars Episode 2. Never have I seen a company or owner of an intellectual property treat not only the product this badly, but to treat its fanbase like this is astonishing. Marvel took the last decade or so of these movies we've watched and flush them down the toilet with this abomination.

Nothing works in this movie, not within the confines of the movie, not within the confines of the narrative of the MCU. When did Thor turn into a stuttering, unsure dork? Why is Bruce Banner suddenly the stereotype of a Jewish guy from Queens? Did every single line have to be humor? Why did this thing have to exist!! It makes zero sense from start to finish. The end of Asgard was a foreboding moment in the age of ultron, one the audience knew to look forward to because of the Epic moments to come. RAGNAROK!!! We instead got campy Flash Gordon with a huge budget. I hated this movie with every fiber in my being. I feel betrayed as a fan of these movies. This epic narrative these movies have been building to is gone with this abortion. It's one thing to poke fun at yourself, it's another thing entirely when you poke fun at EVERYTHING you've done. Thor Ragnarok just unwound this entire franchise for me. The humor was forced, the "effects" were bad (The Hela fights were laughably bad. Like Matrix Reloaded bad). The Odin moment was god awful as was the Jane breakup. I don't say this often, but spare yourselves, don't go see this. Easily in my top five worst movies of all time.… Expand

Kitsch and cringe. Full of action and shoddy humor. Extremely childish, the only MCU film which makes me agree with Scorsese, a low quality theme park. Exactly the path that cinecomics shouldn't take.

I was confused. Is this an action super hero movie or a comedy? Pfftt. The makers of this film should read comics first, they're literally giving Marvel a makeover, from an action comics to comedic. SMH.

One of the year's worst films period. Bland CGI and poor action scenes. Cate Blanchett is the only good thing about the film. Huge let down, I hope they fire the director of this movie. Thor 1 and 2 were much better than this piece of trash.

LikeIf you enjoy most Marvel movies, then you should find this movie entertaining and worth your money. If you're like me and generally believe every super hero movie is a failure except the Dark Knight trilogy, then don't see this movie. Like all super hero movies nowadays, it features a new villain that is hell-bent on taking over the universe, while recycling older side characters from previous films in the Marvel universe to aid the protagonist. Some of the cameos in the film (both by actors and characters) are quite nice and funny, others are awkward (as performances). Also, the whole act where the super hero acts like he doesn't really care and just jokes around is getting a bit overplayed, and when done in this movie it made me cringe on several different occasions. The movie featured some humorous moments that I thought were well done, but they don't make up for the overused plot, average acting, and underwhelming effects (the effects were what I was most disappointed in). Overall it wasn't worth the money to me.… Expand

A funny film, but basically almost a parody of "real" Thor. It seems a spin-off from Guardians of Galaxy. The target has obviously downgraded to teen/child. Where is the pathos and grandeur of Kenneth Brannagh's great first Thor?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best of all three Thor movies (which isn't much).

To cut the review short, if you're a fan of the comics then don't bother, but if you aren't into the comics then it might be enjoyable.

Pros
-Cate Blanchett is great as Hela
-Loki is also surpisingly endearing
-The Hulk
-Good fight scenes
-The comedy has it's mmoments
-Clumsy Thor is quite likable -Thor vs Surtur was great
-Heimdall is badass
-Subtle nods to the comics

Cons
-The drama is overshadowed by the comedy and comes out as forced due to the lack of build up
-No suspense
-Inconclusive fights
-Korg and Miek was turned into gags
-No Caeira or Hiroim (which means no Skaar or World War Hulk)
-Planet Hulk was butchered to fit into Ragnarok's(The movie) comedy
-No Hulk unbreaking scene
-Valkyrie does wierd head bobbing
-Tessa Thompson doesn't look good as Valkyrie
-Skurge
-Very lackuster story (especially when compared to the source material)
-Comedy is crammed into every inch of the movie, even during dramatic scenes.
-Sakaar isn't the desert badlands it's supposed to be.
-Too sci-fi for both the source arcs (Thor 80-85 and the Planet Hulk arc)
-The comedy, while quite funny, is of the lowbrow kind

If you're wondering why I gave it a 2, it's because I'm rating it based on how much I enjoyed it.… Expand

I definitely enjoyedSeems like Marvel/the higher ups sacrificed what could've been a decent storyline and immersive universe into a really bad comedy, almost slapstick at times where people falling off a ledge is classed as quality humour. I definitely enjoyed the first 2 Thor films and didn't get why they sacrificed both the genuinely funny idea of the god of thunder landing on planet Earth and having completely different customs to humans as well as decent elements of romance/relationship. In this 3rd edition, characters who I really liked before such as Loki cheapen their appeal; where Loki used to be the sly but rootable brother of Thor now he's given in to crappy one liners. Most disappointing was the female villain, who is so cliched (such as a **** disney villain) that it made me and my girlfriend walk out the cinema. Why, just why make her script and general persona so off-putting?? I've only give this film a 3 because the design and look of the worlds is amazing, thanks to the advances made in 3D animation in the last decade, the junk world, the arena and the CGI characters like the annoying south african rock all look incredible, just a shame that they have no real substance beyond that.

I hope Marvel goes back to its former glory days and makes more films like the original Spiderman 1 and 2, the X-Men series and so on...… Expand

Darkest Thor story turned into a comedy because Marvel Studios is a joke factory with fans who honestly believe humor is the epitome of cinema

A struggle to sit through and I nearly walked out several times. Seeing the GOD OF THUNDER takenDarkest Thor story turned into a comedy because Marvel Studios is a joke factory with fans who honestly believe humor is the epitome of cinema

A struggle to sit through and I nearly walked out several times.

Seeing the GOD OF THUNDER taken down by a shock collar was so stupid, and it was a joke the hack of a director kept doing again and again and again.

You can't even use the "Well his hammer got broken" defense for how stupid the shock collar gag was because it's revealed in the third act the power is within him, so he should be immune to it.

It'd be like Johnny Storm getting taken out by burning his hand on a hot skillet while cooking. It makes no sense and is just stupid.

Hulk is a joke. Thor is a joke. The movie is a joke.

Critics giving it anything higher than a zero just shows how biased and untrustworthy they are and how pathetically low the bar is set for Marvel Studios to meet the "Gold Standard" mark from critics.… Expand

On the other hand, the character of Jeff Goldbum (Grand Master) is not at all like the comic book even if he wanted to be original, it seems to come from a casino owner in Las Vegas and did not seem to represent the biggest thing as a film any such I did not notice it, but he missed references to his brother. The planet they were on, looked more like a planet from the 1986 animated film The Transformers, Junkion, and not the comic book planet. the truth, very bad treatment and very bad example to the character who dealt with Odin, likewise, is a reflection of the little American culture on the treatment of older adults that shame to turn that into a joke or sofa gaga as in the Simpsons. As if that were not enough, he gets so far away from the homonymous comic of the stories of Thor and much more that scrambled with Planet Hulk, of course it is free adaptation of both stories, but nothing in common really. Or where is the alien son of Hulk? The only good thing is the photograph that exposes the Valkyries that in itself is at least redeemable in terms of the relationship refers to the eschatological myth of the "Rägnärök" of Scandinavian mythology, as seen in flashbacks and in one of the final scenes . But it returns and it moves away, Taikta Wakiti lacked head to be able to listen "The ring of the nibelungos" of Wagner and to read something more of Scandinavian-Germanic Literature to be able to give better treatment him to the film.… Expand

None of the Thor movies were really up to the standard but as a huge fan I like them. Combined with other MCU movies which were getting better and better I had big hopes for the last Thor movie. I can't even begin to describe the disappointment. I wanted to leave the theater by the beginning of the second act. Disney effectively destroyed everything Marvel was building all these years!

I was warned by some friends that movie was terrible but still I hoped I would like something. The Story has immense potential but it was ruined beyond belief. The Ragnarok ... the ultimate doom .... and they made a joke of it!?!?!? Sir Anthony Hopkins (Hanibal Lecter) and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) making fools out of themselves made it even worse. If this movie was made by someone else like the Monthy Python crew it might be fun but like this ...

I would have given it 0/10 if possible. After this movie I will certainly not going to watch Infinty Wars. Even more I will skip The Last Jedy and anything that has Disney label in the future.

This is blatant attempt to attract new fans among younger generations by appealing to their shallowness, selling them cheap tricks and distractions instead of a good story and directing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *** This review may contain spoilers ***

After waiting for Thor: Ragnarok for years. This movie is perhaps, the WORST Marvel movie I have ever seen.

Poor story-telling, weak character development, scenes felt out of place and total 360 from what Thor is supposed to have been.

Hollywood blockbusters have been lowering the complexity of its stories to get more butts into the movie seats which include kids who might not be able to understand a more dark, realistic and complex story. This comes at the expense of adult audience who like to see a characters inits true form.

This movie is basically Logan in reverse. It is a total betrayal of the character's true nature. The following are the movie sins committed in this flick; Warning Spoilers ahead!

1) Bad Story-line.. This story doesn't allow characters to evolve or grow, a lot of the acting seems too familiar or forced for the sake of moving the movie forward or getting a reaction out of you.

2) Everything happens so fast without explanation of events or relationships... a) Why did thor figure out that Loki was impersonating Odin now and not before? b) How was the all-powerful Odin enchanted by Loki? c) Why did Odin decide to let Hela to Invade Asgard and why did he decide to disappear? d) How did Hela break Thor's hammer? e) Why did the leader of Sakaar favorite Hulk over Thor?

2) No setup from previous events and no purpose for characters

a) Thor and Hulk somehow ended up on the same planet by accident b) Why did Dr. Strange need to be in this movie besides setting up for a thor-strange relationship in a future Marvel movie? c) Why didn't Odin hint in previous films that thor had an evil sister named Hela? 3) Bad acting

Even Tom Hiddlesto was off point, he had the usual devious smirk on his face but I sometimes wondered if he was expressing contempt at the directors of the film. Besides being a remarkable film crew with amazing actors, somehow this movie manages to bring out the worst acting of these stars.

Heres a basic breakdown of each character Thor: A more emotional, funny and light-hearted Thor

Loki: The same devious mischief with no new tricks up his sleeve, Loki is so predictable that even Thor has figured him out.

Hela: The sorority club's biggest drama-queen, nothing mysterious or godlike about her. Even she falls into the joke frame.

Heimdall: He had some good scenes and had a nice mystical look to him but wasn't very much useful in the movie.

Grandmaster: This guy is supposed to be a ruler of a planet, instead he belongs on a SNL skit.

Valkyrie: Independent strong woman, alcoholic, with both middle fingers up in your face. Somehow this quickly triggered ghetto character manages to defeat Loki in a battle for the sake of showing how women are strong too?

Skurge: He betrayed Asgard for the whole movie and then tries to make up for it in less then 5 frames before he dies.

Bruce Banner / Hulk: Even hulk manages to turn himself into a comedian.

Doctor Strange: Earth's best sorcerer tools Asgardian gods such as Thor and Loki who should have far greater knowledge of magick then Dr. Strange.

The Executioner: somehow managed to betray Asgard by serving Hela for the entire film, but then sacrifices himself at the end and we're expected to sympathize with this guy?

Korg: This was a loony toons version of Korg

To seal the cherry on the cake, Thor basically lets and assists Asguard to be blown up to pieces, because he figures it will destroy Hela, someone who he wasn't able to defeat even with his new powers.

The disappointment I felt after watching it sure caused a big disconnect for me after I came back home only to read all the positive reviews written by Critics and users alike, which made me question if these Critics are insiders, and if the users are in fact real accounts...

I know everybody's got to make some money... but at what expense?… Expand

Woo-hoo! Three Marvel movies in one year! Everyone’s been celebrating 2017 as perhaps the best year for comic book movies in history, with every single one thus far either meeting or exceeding expectations. I understand the hype, as like theWoo-hoo! Three Marvel movies in one year! Everyone’s been celebrating 2017 as perhaps the best year for comic book movies in history, with every single one thus far either meeting or exceeding expectations. I understand the hype, as like the last couple of movies in the MCU, Thor: Ragnarok features lots of good comic timing thanks to director Taika Waititi’s (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, What We Do in the Shadows) effort in staging sound to time each gag. The excitement goes nonstop as the hero fights demon after demon against screaming rock music to put the final cherry on the sundae.

The continuation of the heroes’ journeys will expectedly keep committed fans raising their foam fingers of approval; when we first see Thor, he is chained over lava, face to face with a fiery demon, but without a hint of fear. When he meets his evil sister, she breaks his sacred hammer, and he’s later pit into a gladiator arena against a familiar green face, escalating the thrills with each new spectacle. The Incredible Hulk even has his own great moments faithful to when we last saw him, particularly in how he remained green and mean for the past two years.

But that doesn’t excuse Ragnarok’s empty sense of humanity. The lack of consistency essentially starts with Thor’s father passively dying, leaving his evil daughter to rule over Asgard, a “sad” moment standing as a mere plot motive with no hint of trauma. As for the Hulk, what exactly does he think about forgetting the last two years of his life? Apparently nothing, as all his self-doubt gets insultingly contradicted in his final moments on screen. A couple of other new members join Thor’s team, including Valkyrie. Right upon her introduction, she falls off a platform drunk, setting off a damaged amount of sympathy for her shallowness that carries on with every other new character thrown in without consideration.

For a majority of the feature, each supporting individual says their exact thoughts in service to exposition, even at the cost of satisfying closure to their stories. While I certainly learned plenty about what these new characters are, I learned little about who they are beyond funny caricatures. These characters needed to be more than comic relief against flashy colors to last longer than a month in audience’s memories. The laws of physics and social order make as much sense as the humanity, appearing a little too conscious about who needs to stay alive and who needs to stay beautiful after going through chaos. As a result, too much goes on in the climax to keep everyone active.

Marvel’s new freak of art does nothing valuable beside combine Greek mythology with visualized techno music, two things that should never go together. As a result, the world looks uglier than ever before, even for a comic book movie, from the stupid historical paintings decorating Asgard’s capital building to Hela’s overdesigned “crown” or whatever you call it. People already care so little about ancient cultures, so once it’s time for kids at school to learn about Greek history, they will think about something less valuable instead.

Although I most want to talk about the acting, an overstated aspect that the entire Marvel series in actuality does dreadfully. Chris Hemsworth deserves no praise for his awful performance; he just stilts around with a charming smile plastered onto his spray-tanned face as if waiting for an awkward school photo. The film’s comedic charisma has no thanks to give to him, an actor praised only because he’s handsome without being annoying. But Jeff Goldblum was the absolute worst casting decision; his instantly forgettable role simply felt awkward to watch, as he created the most painful attempts at humor. I can’t remember a time he has ever put on a good performance, and I wonder how he’s still getting cast in big movies today.

The nitpicks go on much further than you may assume:
Teenage boys might complain about the fake looking graphics fit for the X-Box.
Long time Marvel fans might complain about Doctor Strange’s underuse in an easily rewritable four-minute scene.
The more artsy viewers might complain about Hulk’s dumb looking gladiator armor.
The older viewers might complain about some of the seemingly never-ending jokes.
Women might complain about how Hela insults middle-aged women everywhere who want representation beyond roadblocks to men’s triumphs.
And parents might complain about the bad role model Thor sets for younger boys.
Thor’s first scene alone features him playing with his hammer in its 3D glory as he beats up demons Halo style. Then for the rest of the film he joyfully beats up his siblings, celebrating his rewards afterward. So why let boys look up to some self-righteous white dude with flowing blonde hair who brags about the hardness of his hammer? If anything, Thor will raise a generation of pompous blonde-haired men who think only about claiming the throne.… Expand

This film defecates all over European tradition. It replaces timeless themes with cheap cringe comedy, and reduces once great characters to soulless vehicles for cultural Marxism. I weep for the next generation.

I had quite a bit of issues with Ragnarok. Most of my issues seem to be common consensus on the reviews I’ve seen but they all say it’s okay because the comedy was there which I disagree with.

Most of my issues seem to be common consensus on the reviews I’ve seen but they all say it’s okay because the comedy was there which I disagree with. Even though there are many spoilery things I could address I will remain spoiler free, at least for now on MetaCritic. The issue, I think, is that this felt like a parody. I think it’s very on level with something like GOTG 2; in fact, I genuinely thought Jeff Goldblum was The Collector from GOTG. Okay, just did some research and the two characters are brothers but Goldblum cameoed in GOTG2? I don’t know. I give up. I also think the ball might have been dropped a wee bit in the costuming department for the females because whenever they were in these body suits, they walk a little bit funny which was quite distracting. There were some distracting soundtrack scenes as well. But, the biggest issue is I felt like the humor was severely lacking. The jokes just felt like something an elementary schooler would find funny. I do not think this is Waititi vision’s fault but that it was better suited for like a television special as opposed to a live action two hour twenty minute show. I am still very interested in his other works, I just feel like this was not the right spot for his comedy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In spite of efforts to inject humor into nearly every scene my full theater was for the most part quiet. The "Less is More" philosophy should have been used here. Hulk and Thor tossing it back and forth like the Odd Couple was not funny. Mark Ruffalo can't do comedy and was clearly uncomfortable trying (and I love Ruffalo's Hulk more than any other). I think the funniest characters in the movie were Korg and the short and sassy Kung-Fu slug that followed him around. The rest of the characters should have spent more time building up the gravity of scenes that should have brought out some tension for the audience (Odin, Thor's Warrior Three, Skurge, etc. Finally, there were two cut scenes at the end that were not worth waiting for. Thanos should have appeared in one and a second should have confirmed what the movie suggested...Loki pocketed the tesseract.… Expand

The locals keep comedically tazing THE GOD OF THINDER as he forms a new band of friends that help him fight his way off the planet. He returns to Asgard in time to fight a deranged family member out to grab his throne in decisive brawl on the famed Bifrost bridge" ....Movie critic Chris Jordan says it's a fresh take on the Thor character. On the other hand I really wanted this to be another LOGAN level good Marvel movie but this movie is barely a even a parody. First of all, calling what is essentially an action COMEDY an apocalypse or "RAGNAROK" is Ironic enough but here's what I walked out of the theater with. 1- Regular Machine guns work wonders at mowing down Asgardians. 2- The Cosmic Superpower planet known as Asgard apparently has a population of no more than 2 thousand. They literally walked a 2 lane wide bi-frost bridge and evacuated the planet using a single ship. Couple that with the fact that their best resurrected warriors were manhandled by a guy with 2 machine guns and I can see that conquering New York in "The Avengers" was REALLY AMBITIOUS. 3- I don't know who Thor is!!! a rugged warrior, a whimpering baby in the face of a haircut or alien goo, an Obnoxious brat, a self sacrificing hero, a wise and intelligent prince/king, a colossal idiot repeatedly and hopelessly performing black widow's lullaby for the Hulk? 4- Dead father, dead companions, destroyed planet, b#@ch of sister, crumbling throne. Screw it. Lets crack jokes for the audience. (That really did it for me). 5- Loosing an eye is a prerequisite to ruling Asgardians (the 349 ones left anyway). 6- We just blew up out planet to win (Wait what!!!!!). where to mate??? Well take us to earth. They love me there. We'll crash the entire planet's population in the new Avengers headquarters till we figure out what's what. This Movie has no sense of it's characters or it's events or its background or its purpose and it would literally sell you a dead family member's corpse for a joke, albeit a bad one.… Expand

This is a juvenile movie, and I say this as someone who often enjoys films for children. This one is loud and colorful and silly (forget anything close to wit). And you will probably have children crawling over you to go to the bathroom every half hour or so and buy food since they may be as bored as you are. But I am grading this not on my tastes, but on its merits as a movie. It has a coherent plot (more or less) and the dumb jokes are at a minimum. It is full of A-list actors who keep their faces straight and don’t camp things up. It is loud and colorful, although I wasn’t too impressed with the special effects. So purely as a movie, it is a decent job. Just be warned that if you are not into Marvel or are older than six, you may be very bored once you’ve identified all the famous actors and the action takes on a repetitive pattern of danger – danger overcome – danger -- etc.… Expand

The only thing that separates this movie from the likes of Paul Blart, Jack and Jill, and Big Mommas House is the decent but not great action set pieces, mainly towards the end. Other than that it felt like a parody on Thor, like they were trying to make fun of him and the other characters and turn them into jokes. Jeff Goldblum was downright cringey at times, Thor was a buffoon, Hulk was a buffoon, there is zero character development given to the characters other than Thor and Valkyrie, who I felt was wrongly casted. The only emotionally touching moments in the film, which were few, were quickly ruined by a terrible out of place joke. The one person who they could and should have made serious was Hela, but they turn even the Goddess of Death into a joke machine. Now for the most part I've enjoyed the MCU movies, but I for one was looking forward to a more dramatic and epic take on Ragnarok and felt backhanded after seeing this. If your a comic book fan or a fan of good movies, please for the love of god do not watch this. If your looking for two hours of stupid fun and have money to burn, then by all means.… Expand

I'll explain more detailed below, but keeping it in short words, Thor Ragnarok is not only one of the worst MCU movies, but it tracends beyond into one of the worst Marvel movies. That tracends into one of the worst superhero movies, whileI'll explain more detailed below, but keeping it in short words, Thor Ragnarok is not only one of the worst MCU movies, but it tracends beyond into one of the worst Marvel movies. That tracends into one of the worst superhero movies, while also one of the worsi comic-book movies ever. Is one of the worst things the genre has to offer. Is it worth seeing? No, I'll explain my opinion.

Have you ever heard the slang "jumping the shark"? Is a slang used to describe a plotlines, that somehow are too stupid to be believable. Thor Ragnarok turns every character into a cartoon over-the-top parody of it's former self. This movie jumps the shark at every chance, so much in fact. It feels more like a Saturday Night Live promotional-parody-sketch than an actual movie.

And while yes, there are great parody-sketches, I'm obviously complaining because the movie feels like the worst kind of parody-sketch. Which at worst consist of a 30 second joke prolonged for 5 minutes. However, this movie is like an unfunny 5 second joke prolonged for 2 hours. Is pure pain, none of the jokes land. It feels like all the worst internet 9-gag memes pasted together.

The comedy is completely blind, completely deaf to the events that are happening in the plotline. People may be dying and the movie is doing some of the worst jokes ever. Not even Care Blanchet can save this. Nothing has consequences, and everything is overlooked for the sake of the next joke. The worst joke is uttered by the CGI character played by director Taila Waiti, a rock made character that looks like Fantastic 4's member the Thing, but this version is stupid. He jokes when Thor's planet Asgard explodes. Jack Kirby, who drew Thor's comics was sad that people didn't took his life work seriously, he would had hated this movie. Is like Batman and Robin. The second Thor movie was so bad, I thought nothing could be worse and yet this movie is worse.

Trying to remember it to write a review, is painful. Chris Hemsworth is no longer playing Thor, he is just playing himself as class clown, he is definitely the worst actor of the Original Avengers, the other worst one is Mark Ruffallo's Bruce Banner, whom I'm not even sure what he is supposed to be doing. Is a mess. The movie doesn't know what to do with Loki, he is sorta just there like Hulk. Everything is just sorta there, whenever something dramatic is gonna happen is all ruined by another I'll placed joke.

And I don't hate humor in films, nor Tex Avery like humor in live-action. Rogger Rabbit, The Mask, Deadpool, Space Jam. Taika Waititi lands some jokes on Jojo Rabbit, but here he misses every single one, humor is so painfully bad that the prospect of hearing again, any of this jokes, truly terrify more than most horror films. This the worst Marvel MCU comedy at it's worst.

All those are great, and fun. This simply is the opposite.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Easily the 2nd biggest let down in movies (Star Wars: Phantom Menace #1). Expected an Epic adventure to stop the utter destruction of Asgard, instead we got something along the lines of the 5th Element merged with X-Men the last Stand. Over the top non-stop Humor runs contrary to everything Thor has ever been in the comics. I remember reading the run of Ragnarock in the original Mighty Thor comics and This movie lives up to no part of it. Humor, even with the Death of Odin, Humor, even with the destruction of Mjolnir (dumbest move ever) Humor, as Surtur (who is basically non-exist in the film) drives the Twilight sword into Asgard and destroys it (umm, wasn't there supposed to be demons and fighting, not just insert Sword here). Korg, the great leader of the gladiator resistance turns out to be nothing more then some dim witted "Spicoli" wannabe. Hela, the great goddess of Death (and Loki's Daughter not Odins) whos great power is to shoot swords at people...What???? Probably don't need to address Jeff Goldblum...who is pretty much Jeff Goldblum, and that's not a positive. This movie teases you with so many things you always wanted to see on the screen, and delivers on none of them. We get to meet Skurge,who is anything but an Executioner, only for the Purpose of seeing him Die (and to capture one of the Epic comic panels of all time). have I mentioned the non-Norse like continuous humor, the destruction of Mjolnir, Hela shoots swords, characters are introduced and everyone dies without putting up any real fight (X-Men 3). This movie, which fans hoped would finally gives us the God of Thunder and be the savior of the Franchise, instead is the death of the franchise. Helmed by a director who seemed so busy telling jokes he didn't have time to actual read any of the comics, so instead showed you some Fanboy visuals then blew it all up. (a-la Ratner) Anyone who read the original run should avoid this movie at all costs. Your kids will enjoy the Shumacher-esk bright colors and frat boy humor. By the way, your fighting the Sword shooting Hela, but walk past every powerful artifact in Asgards vault and instead choose to release Surtur and blow up Asgard...which apparently isn't a place but a people. How has the MCU fallen so fast. Guardians of the Galaxy are great movies, but it's Humor and pace should is cancerous to other Marvel Characters.… Expand

Guardians of the Galaxy not only helped elevate the character relationships with humor, but the jokes were not the entire film. Guardians of the Galaxy impressively was not just the funniest mcu film, but also the most emotional. The one dimensional Thor: Ragnarok on the other hand dismisses everything for jokes and when you do that we lose total interest in the story. Even though this is suppose to be the most serious thing that Thor faces, it is treated like a joke. If your not serious then I'm not serious which takes away all interest. I could actually care about what happened in the first two Thor films and they still had jokes that never became jarring like this third installment. I even cared about what happened in The Lego Movie more than I cared about what happened in this film. I have never seen a movie stop me from caring about the plot because of the humor which is what makes Thor: Ragnarok so successful at being bad. The next part of my criticism is a spoiler, but I did not check the box because it does nothing for the rest of the film other than make me drenched in sadness. So basically, because action films despise romance, Thor breaks up with Jane Foster for no reason off screen and to me that is pretty much saying that none of the character development or threats that the characters faced in the first two films really mattered. I already rage quitted on Thor: Ragnarok from that horrendous exposition. It would have been even better if they said nothing or they could have just said she was busy or something much more acceptable. So the question is, why not give this film a zero. Well, Thor: Ragnarok is the only superhero film I have ever seen with a main female villain. That is literally it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Watch only the Marvel movies with Thor in them (Thor, The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron). Then watch Thor: Ragnarok. You'll witness a baffling change of character for Thor. Thor is a 1500-year-old classical deity. But after only 7 years on earth he's talking like he's from Gen Z. Supposedly, some events occurred between Age of Ultron and Ragnarok, but when you view how seriously Thor approached the prophesied destruction of Asgard in Age of Ultron and the way he approaches it in this film, it's nonsensical. He's been all about Asgard from day one, yet he views Ragnarok with a lot less gravity than he viewed the conflicts in the previous two movies. To cap it off, the one being he looks up to most (daddy Odin) dies, and Thor remarkably doesn't slink into depression. As a matter of fact, when you compare this with Avengers: Infinity War, Loki's death has a much greater impact on him. Let that sink in: the guy who isn't even blood, who betrayed Thor countless times and gave up their father to a nursing home in order to steal control of Asgard has a more impactful death than the supreme, all-powerful, wise being who forged Asgard into what it is today and raised Thor with the utmost love and adoration. Does that make sense? Especially when we see the way Thor reacted to his mother’s death.

Think about how hilariously bad these plot points are.

-LOKI PUTS ODIN IN A NURSING HOME ON EARTH.
(How did Odin, king of Asgard get suckered into that? No Asgardian would allow another’s orders to supersede those of Odin. If Loki turned into Odin to do so, wouldn’t Asgardians notice there were two Odins?)
-DOCTOR STRANGE KNOWS MORE ABOUT MAGIC THAN THOR.
(Strange is in his mid-40s and knows more about magic than Thor, a 1500-year-old being. Strange has only studied magic for a few years. Thor has known magic for his entire life.)
-THOR IS KEPT IN CHECK BY A TASER ATTACHED TO HIS SKIN.
(I thought lightning flowed through his veins. Yet he’s bested by a taser.)
-THOR DOESN’T CONJURE LIGHTNING TO BLAST OUT OF JAIL.
(Doesn’t the planet run on electricity?)
-CERTA CAN BEAT HELA BUT NOT THOR. THOR CAN BEAT CERTA BUT NOT HELA.
(Maybe this has to do with Hela destroying Mjölnir, but it’s never explained how or why she can destroy it. She just does. Plus, it’s shown in the final battle that Thor can handle himself fine without it. So, again, the power structure between the three characters lacks any attempt at logic.)
-MORE TIME IS SPENT ON MAKING JEFF GOLDBLUM FUNNY THAN MAKING HELA A MORE EFFECTIVE VILLAIN.
(Hela’s backstory is never described in detail save for one flashback with Valkyrie’s memories. Nothing about her relationship with Fenris. Nothing about how she rules the skeleton army or why it’s even locked away. She says numerous times that she’s “the goddess of death”. What exactly does that entail besides her stabbing people and summoning knives out of nowhere? Does she rule hell? Can she stop death? Revive people? Is it possible for her to die? No answers. Instead, we focus on the Grandmaster. Oh, wait. Sorry. I meant a Jeff Goldblum caricature with no depth. What’s worse is he’s not threatening whatsoever. It’s baffling how this guy came to rule a planet and instill fear at all.)
-MORE RESPECT WAS GIVEN TO TONY’S BREAKUP WITH PEPPER IN CIVIL WAR THAN THOR AND JANE’S IN RAGNAROK.
(Just because Jane and Thor’s romance is the weakest in the MCU doesn’t mean it should be disregarded. Ragnarok’s tone seemed to force a dismissive reference to their breakup.)

That’s just scratching the surface.

Then there’s the issue of casting.

-TAIKA WAITITI as KORG
(Marvel giving Taika a cameo as a beloved character rather than some new throwaway one shows that they’ve lost the plot, especially when you see the way the character is portrayed. It’s as if the producers didn’t ask him any questions about what he planned to do and just let him do it. Hang any tonal inconsistencies, amirite?)
-TESSA THOMPSON as VALKYRIE
(Nothing in Tessa Thompson’s performance gives the impression that she holds any semblance of strength. Compare her with Syf, Black Widow, Gamora, Nebula, or the Ancient One, who hold themselves with poise, and she just comes off as some b*tchy wannabe. She’s supposed to be a 1700-year-old being for goodness sake. Nevermind the fact that Tessa Thompson constantly looks like she smelled a fart. If they’re going for the color check-box, let’s stick with the demographic. Think about all the other light-skins that we could have had. Paula Patton, Zazie Beetz, Halle Berry, Christina Milian, Rochelle Aytes, Thandie Newton, Brooklyn Sudano, hell even Rihanna would have been a better performance, not to mention easier on the eyes.)
-JEFF GOLDBLUM as GRANDMASTER

In short, this will go down as one of the biggest inconsistencies in MCU history. It's trying to be Guardians, Vol. 3. Just because a sequel does something new, doesn't mean it's good.… Expand
