This film is a massive improvement over Thor 1 and 2 with plenty of creativity and charm and a superb villain.

TheI watched this film yesterday, I headed into the cinema not knowing what to expect, but I was blown away by this film. This is definitely my favourite MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) film, albeit for the two Guardians of the Galaxy films. The story kept me hooked, throughout the entire film and I never wanted to miss a moment of what was going on, due to the fast flowing motion of what was actually going on. The comedy in the film was fantastic, with plenty of jokes the entire cinema, full of both kids and adults, burst out laughing, although personally I did laugh out loud much more than anyone else. The action scenes in the film were very well written and I was in awe at the fantastic CGI. The inclusion of The Hulk was remarkable, as he had a much more important role than what I'd expect him to have from all the trailers I'd personally seen, and The Hulk was a very nice inclusion into the film. The lead villain, Hela, was one who I loved to hate and the fight scenes with her in were both intense and comedic. The film is a perfect lead up to the new Avengers Infinity War film coming out next year, and if that film manages to blend in comedy, action and story as well as this film did, we should all be very excited!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Under the direction of New Zealand director, Taiki Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok is Marvel's most audacious film in their cinematic universe to date. Not only does it supersede the previous Thor films, but does so in the funniest and entertaining of ways. By far the most unorthodox character change within the Marvel universe, the new direction for Thor is pleasantly unique and sought-after, filled with Waititi's trademark humor and exuberance from start to finish. However, Thor: Ragnarok is more than just a comedic act. There are dark undertones that prevail throughout the core plot of the story, and the fundamentals of a superhero movie are all present. From the opening sequence, the action and visuals are on point, the quality never deterred for a second. And it has now become quite clear that Chris Hemsworth has embraced the role as Thor Odinson, showing off his comedic range and immediately making the character much more compelling than the darker and least fun of the Avengers that we were previously used to. In the film, Thor must prevent Hela (Cate Blanchett) from unleashing Ragnarok, the end of everything, and in doing so, must assemble a team to face her head- on and save the Universe because-as he quotes-"that's what heroes do". The "Revengers" as he names them includes the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), "his friend from work", Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), a hard-drinking former warrior, and Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the mischievous brother who no- one should trust by now. And it is not a Waititi film without an appearance by the man himself, which came in the form of Korg, a hilariously voiced rock-monster who was the champion of cracking a joke whenever he popped up. Waititi's style of filmmaking is palpable to the point where it becomes evident that everyone had so much fun making this movie, that is carried through to what audiences were seeing. This is why Thor: Ragnarok works so well and is so fun.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thor - Ragnarok is one of those movies that you do not see every year. The third Thunder God movie brought a new gas and a new vision to Thor's films, managed to hit on several points with scenes and fantastic scenes and actors actress that fell perfectly in their characters. Thor - Ragnarok was able to reconcile and balance well the scenes of comedies and the dramatic moments the scenes in Sakaar were fantastic the scenarios although a little different from the BD they were perfect the scenes of comedies were good of more (In Sakaar they abused of the comic part) and framed in the perfect moment, throughout the film has several more jokes this does not disturb in the part more serious and in the moments of drama, if in Sakaar was fun in Asgard you feel something quite different a heavier climate with a good dramatic charge. The fight scenes are sensational and the effects were nicely worked Hulk VS Thor was fantastic an unparalleled fight the two battling yet swapping huge blows that make it vibrate with each hit. The scenes of Hela's fight are perfect, Hela (risk telling me that she is the best villain of the UCM) proved to be an overwhelming, deadly and cold force capable of great feats bathing Asgard in blood, it was unstoppable neither Thor, Valkyrie, Loki and others were a match for Hela. Valkyrie was a very well-developed character in the story you can rightly understand her story there in a way yet noticeable race has brought us strong and a powerful cream warrior. The film was very good but still has its low points more comprehensible as in the beginning the fact that we see Sutur as a primordial threat is more quickly forgotten throughout the film, but the motive should be at the end of the films for the purpose that he carries in order to everything else still should be used more.… Expand

I must applaud how self-aware this film is, it makes even more hilarious. Now, while this an extremely entertaining film, that's pretty much all there is to it. Besides the Shakespearean sibling battle for the throne that's always interesting, there's not much else to Thor: Ragnarok besides it being vastly entertaining. So, while being one of the better Marvel films, other than stripping away everything we knew about its character and being hilariously self-aware, it's just another Marvel movie. A-… Expand

I'll preface this review by admitting that I do have an odd sense of humor, so that is probably why Thor: Ragnarok was right up my ally since director Taika Waititi seems to have a similarly odd sense of humor. It has a lot of very funnyI'll preface this review by admitting that I do have an odd sense of humor, so that is probably why Thor: Ragnarok was right up my ally since director Taika Waititi seems to have a similarly odd sense of humor. It has a lot of very funny moments - some are fairly obvious that everyone in my theater laughed at, while others are a little more subtle and require that you've seen other MCU films as they take shots at and make of fun stuff from them, specifically Age of Ultron. Chances are that if you enjoyed a lot of the "off the cuff" / kind of subtle humor present in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, chances are you are going to like Thor: Ragnarok. At its heart, this is very much a buddy film (with Thor/Hulk and Thor/Loki), but that is part of what made it so enjoyable. A lot of the best scenes are back and forths between these characters, but it does more to build on their relationships than a lot of the other "solo" character MCU films to date. They were honestly the high point of the movie as it kind of tailed off as the story turned towards the ending (see below for my only complaints with the film).

In terms of why I didn't give the movie a perfect score of 10 (it came close for me), I really had two main bones to pick with it so to speak. 1) Like a lot of other MCU films, most of the movie centers around the heroes so I can see some feeling this is yet another example of an MCU film not devoting enough time to build up a villain in Hela (played by Cate Blanchett) that otherwise had a lot of potential.

2) I thought the ending seemed kind of abrupt and rushed. As I've told friends and co-workers who've asked, part of that may have been the result of the fact that I was enjoying the rest of the movie so much that the ending might have snuck up on me somewhat. But there are some...what I'll call "actions" I guess taken by Hela (against some of Thor's allies) that I thought would've been better saved for the end as it would've made Thor's decision about how best to fight her carry more meaning. I don't want to say too much more than that as it would take this review into spoiler territory.

All in all I really enjoyed the movie and definitely recommend it to anyone that enjoys the MCU (even though it is not your standard superhero movie), and also anyone that is a fan of movies like the original Guardians of the Galaxy that are part space opera / part comedy. I liked it enough that I would put it among my top 5 MCU films to date (with the first Iron Man, the first Avengers film, Captain America: Winter Solider, and the first Guardians of the Galaxy), though I do expect it will likely be surpassed when Black Panther (which is reminding me a lot of Winter Soldier) and Infinity War are released next year.… Expand

And Cate Blanchett is the worst, or the baddest villain ever played for the MCU, awesome :) But Mark Ruffalo is still too underrated, probably more underrated than Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye (from Avengers).

The timing of the jokes could have been improved, very few times it was actually forced. There were some scenes that should have been a bit more impactful. The negative reviews on this movie mostly come from hardcore fans of Thor from comics(I'm not a big Thor fan from the comics or from the other two stand-alone films). The other people who hate this movie seem to think that movies like these("RAGNAROK") that need to be so serious for great storytelling. My advice to those people is look at the DC films, they take themselves seriously, they get okay storytelling, they bore people that are not comic book fans a lot of the times, not fun. They bomb the majority of the times in reviews and if it weren't for their name recognition they would bomb in box offices too.… Expand

Positives:

- The humor was great and didn't feel forced.

- Easily the most personality and the most I've empathized with the Hulk (in particular) and Thor

- Great side characters: Korg, Heimdall, Skurge, Surtur, Valkyrie, etc. really fleshed out the movie and didn't feel like filler (looking at you Kat Dennings)

- Jeff Goldblum killed it

- Awesome special effects, fight scenes, and sets. I loved the fantasty/sci fi mash up

- No shoehorned romance

- Clever twist in the climax

Negatives:

- Cate Blanchett was great, but Hella still fell into the "bland Marvel villains" camp. But she was probably the best Marvel villain in awhile.… Expand

Now thanks to the vision of Taika Waititi, the franchise is reshaped, tuned up, and defined.
Thor is truly an interesting character, he's the God of thunder and he embodies that title whole-heartedly in this film. Loki is back and continues to be the MCU's most charismatic antihero. The Hulk is a great addition to roster and is truly a plus.

The sound effect and music just adds to the movies amazingly 80's vibe that they where going for and makes it more entertaining. Chris, Jeff Goldblum, Tom, Cate, Idris Elba, Tessa Thompson, Mark and the great Anthony Hopkins did a fantastic job delivering their characters to the big screen, and I think this time it's done the best we've seen so far in the MCU. It has emotion, tension and weight to their personalities and overall immersion to the story. Which is amazingly delivered. The plot is pretty simple but it works with the rest of the movie's formula! It's not even the ending is cheesy or cliche in any way and it represents the drama aspect of the movie. The action is amazing and we finally see Thor in it's full glory and potential. The movie's message is really strong and it has a big presence over the plot, also the sub-plots are amazing with every single character having his screen time. Overall this is an amazing movie, and the best from Thor yet! It's very fun to watch and overly entertaining with not even the slightest pacing issue. It keeps the pressure until the end.

This third entry decides to take a vastlyThor has got to be one of the least interesting Avenger (well maybe on the same level as Hawkeye) and his movies aren't exactly memorable with his second entry being one of the worst MCU movies. This third entry decides to take a vastly different approach and it works. Director Taika Waititi puts a lot more comedy into this movie and adds a lot more comedic personality to Thor. This really makes the movie a very enjoyable watch and some great moments.

The plot is relatively simple in the fact that because of Loki taking over Asgard it has resulted in Hela a new threat trying to take over Asgard. Thor is sent to the other side of the universe and now has to rush back to Asgard to prevent Ragnarok. While many synopsis of the plot and even the title itself makes it seem like the stakes are really high. However, in the film it never really does amount to anything and watching it you don't feel like there is really any stakes at all. This is especially because of the fact that this movie is much more comedic and can be a bit jarring. You could go from Hela murdering people to a fun moment with Thor and it makes the plot not seem that important. The characters are great and fun to watch. Thor now has a much more lively personality compared to previous entries and there are some moments where we see more of his character. Still only "some" which is really weird considering the fact that his home is about to be destroyed and he isn't as panic as we think he should be. Chris Hemsworth is still a great Thor and while this movie does feel like more of Chris's personality than Thor it still feels natural and gives a much more fun movie to watch. Loki returns and is treated much more of a joke in this movie which leads to some great laughs but you remember that he was the threat that led to the Avengers to Assemble in the first place. Still he does have a pretty interesting character arc in this story and it works quite well with Tom Hiddleston still being an amazing Loki even for the laughs. Hela is the villain of this movie played by Cate Blancett and is the first true female MCU villain. Sadly, just like most MCU movie villains she is rather forgettable and underused. She only has one really cool scene and then is just typical villain of the day which is a shame as there was potential.The stand out of this movie is Valkyrie played by Tessa Thompson who is an amazing badass character and Hulk played by Mark Ruffalo. Valkyrie has a lot of great cool action moments and Hulk just steals the scene every time and since he can speak this time it leads to great moments between him and Thor. Though Hulk isn't in this movie for as long as you think he is which is a shame but understandable since this is a Thor movie still. Jeff Goldblum is the grandmaster with a lively personality and is great in every scene he is in and Karl as Skurge is pretty good as well with his own believable character arc though a relatively small role. Taika Waititi the director as Korg was also very funny as well. The best part of this movie is the amount of colour and design that goes into the sets. Clearly this movie took a lot of inspiration from Guardians of the Galaxy and it definitely shows, They both explore the cosmic side of the MCU and are much more focus on the comedy. The design of the sets though have a Jack Kirby feel to it and that is very fitting for the planet of Sakaar. The action scenes are also very good especially the Thor vs Hulk fight with its great choreography and comedic timing. The action scenes are much more memorable then Spiderman Homecoming and are much more enjoyable to watch in my opinion. The score while not super memorable, still does its job and led zeppelin "immigrant song" is a great song.

Some critics say this movie sets a new standard for the MCU and I honestly don't agree with it. I think this is a really good movie and is most definitely the best Thor movie. However, it does have the feeling of a typical MCU movie. It takes many tropes that have happened in the MCU and amplifies it. This really worked for the movie and creates an enjoyable experience for us. This movie is what we loved about the MCU and that is why it was such a good movie. The fault for this movie is that it doesn't really go in a new direction and still has the common flaws of a MCU movie. Still, if you liked many of the MCU movies then you are going to really love this movie as it feels like a love letter to us fans.… Expand

Taika brings his indie directingThor: Ragnarok is THE Thor movie that we have all been waiting for. This movie has so much style that it's surprising it didn't feel like Suicide Squad with all the jumbled tones being thrown left and right. Taika brings his indie directing style to he forfront and makes (ALMOST) each scene a joy to watch. The writing is good as a Thor movie can be. The performances are out of this world, as everyone brings their A-Game (EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR TEN SECONDS OF SCREEN TIME). Chris Hemsworth proves to all that he is legitamitely funny. Blanchett is always good, though her character is a bit underwhelming at times, but her performance saves it. Goldblum is quirky and weird and fits this movie nicely. Tom Hiddleston brings a bit more depth to Loki, but that's to be expected. Ruffalo shines as the both the Hulk and Banner and brings some of the best laughs in the movie. Everyone is great. Even the action manages to be just as good as ever. Though it may seem I am praising this movie a lot, it SUFFERS badly from ONE massive flaw. Pacing. Just within the first ten minutes alone, you'll feel like you're being whiplashed by J.K. Simmons. It's not that it's start and stop, it's that it's ALWAYS RUNNING. This movie doesn't let up, not even for a moment, which makes it hard to register certain things that happen to characters. Trying to mesh Planet Hulk and Ragarnok works for the most part, but because of this certain things happen to characters that could be huge but is quickly glossed over, and the movie is 2 hours long. So while I love this movie, it suffers from going too fast with the pacing. Luckily, the acting, the story, the characters, and the action save this movie. Plus, because of the pacing, it doesn't even feel like 2 hours. You'll have loads of FUN watching it, which in the end is really all that matters. So go ahead and watch it, then watch it again.… Expand

This is yet another one of the funniest movies I saw in 2017, this is more than just a dumb superhero movie is actally a really good comedy movie on its own. Now just because I give it a 9/10 doesn't mean is my pick for winning Oscars, I usually review superhero movies based on how good and entertaining they are and this made me have a really good time laughing at the theater.

It's well written with really funny lines and jokes that make this movie a big contrast to the previous Thor movies which were pretty forgettable and boring. This is so funny that it seems like it was written as a Thor spoof or something, there are literally jokes that just flat out make fun of the tropes and clichés of the genre.
The cinematography is solid, the movie looks beautiful, it has really nice looking CGI and bright colors that make this movie stand out compared to other MCU movies. It's almost as good as the art direction of Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

The new characters are very memorable and charismatic, like Korg and Miek, Korg is just cute and awesome and Taika Waititi's voice acting gives the character an hilarious cute voice compared to its The Thing-like appearence. The returning cast of characters are also really good and actually have new and interesting arcs we haven't seen in their previous appearances, like Thor, I love to see Thor finally having real conflict, struggling to find a way to save Asgard without his best weapon.

Unlike Spider-Man:Homecoming, this movie has a balance, we have a serious, intimidating villain, it has conflict, drama, tension, stakes, it has what Spider-Man lacked and that makes the movie have an extra point compared to that movie.

Overall I can't recommend this enough, this is obviously not an Oscar-worthy movie but if you really want to have a good time, watch this.… Expand

Don't get me wrong, I like the 2011 original but that's turned out to be the weakest of the three. I found 'Thor: The Dark World' to be a fairly major improvement on that, this 2017 is narrowly better than that aforementioned 2013 release. Bring on 'Thor: Love and Thunder'!

Chris Hemsworth is quality in the lead role, I found him super enjoyable in this second sequel. Big fan of his new hairstyle, by the way. This is also the most I liked Tom Hiddleston in an MCU film. Jeff Goldblum, Cate Blanchett and, particularly, Tessa Thompson are fab additions. Shoutout to (director, as well!) Taika Waititi also, he made me laugh a fair few times as Korg.

Who would have thought that hiring a comedy director would do wonder to this franchise. Watiti brought in his zany sense of humor to the film, and along with Chris Hemsworth newly found comedic 'talents', made Thor Ragnarok a fun flick. Kudos of course should be given to its stellar supporting casts, the usual suspects such as Hiddleston and Rufallo, but also 'newcomers' Tessa Thompson and Cate Blanchett. Biggest weakness? Well, its orientation toward comedy is a double edged sword, lessening the seriousness of some of its set pieces. Other than that, it's business as usual for the MCU.… Expand

One thing I love about the Marvel Universe is that it is always trying to evolve. No matter how big the last box office or how good the last movie, with each film it is is always trying to get bigger, better, and even re-invent itself. WithOne thing I love about the Marvel Universe is that it is always trying to evolve. No matter how big the last box office or how good the last movie, with each film it is is always trying to get bigger, better, and even re-invent itself. With that however there is always a danger of going too far, and when it comes to their latest film, Thor: Ragnarok they came close. In his third installment Thor learns he must face his greatest foe of all, his long lost sister, who had been locked away millennia ago. She is said to be stronger than even Odin himself and casts Thor and Loki out of Asgard, where they wind up on a strange world, where Thor is forced to compete in a battle royal against an old friend. Thor has always featured arguably the best special effects in the Marvel film franchise, and at least to me, has always been more Science Fiction and therefore the least realistic of any of their modern characters. In an attempt to humanize him more and make him a little more friendly to general audiences, Marvel added a ton of humor to the character in Ragnarok. While I agree, Thor was a little dry, he always had his own wit to him, and by adding all the humor to the character I felt as though it took away from his mystique. Marvel is also using a lot more crossover material in the individual films than they have before. While the followers of the universe love it and call for more, this tends to confuse general audiences, who don't necessarily go to see all the Marvel films. It's a fine line that has to be drawn between pleasing the fans of the universe and the general audience, in order to keep the enormous box office. This time, they managed to tow the line, but the direction suggests that next time they may not be so lucky. As for the cast, again Marvel proves that when it comes to casting for their characters, there is no one better in the business as even Jeff Goldblum fit his role like a glove. Their was a little too much humor for my taste, Thor isn't Deadpool or a Guardian of The Galaxy, but by and large it was still a very enjoyable film. Truth be told, I was far more interested in the after credits scene then I was by the collaboration of Hulk and Thor or the resurgence of Hera.… Expand

I think the biggest plus in this movie was the pacing; the story isn't much better than "a'ight" on the whole, but I'm actually surprised in hindsight at how smoothly it breezed from the titles to the credits... The ups and downs are there, but with none of the jarring feeling that often happens with these movies.It's like the cinematic equivalent of being on a rollercoaster at zero G (in a good way.) It's also got some inventiveness to it in the third act—or maybe it was pulled from the comics, I don't know. Oh, and it has just the right Goldilocks level of Jeff Goldblum. On the minus side, not crazy about Loki's character arc. Also, I'm guessing I'll need another couple movies before I can understand how this one has any meaningful impact on the wider MCU, besides the fact that Hulk can talk now.… Expand

It also has a more dynamic villain and an ending without a ex machina that saves the day. The ending leaves as much doubt as it does hope.

Related media: I have seen all of the MCU films, but felt that the Thor films were never great. Thor was 3/5 and Thor 2 was 4/5.

What's it like?: Packed with surprising things, was very funny, but the final act was sort of OK, not great.

Pros: 1) The best part of the film was the Thor vs Hulk fight, particularly the part where Thor has to rediscover himself. 2) The film is super funny.

3) The film started well with surprising cameos, links to other MCU characters and a great Infinity Stones-esque reveal.

Cons: 1) The final act wasn’t as sharp, doesn’t completely make sense and wasn’t as funny. This seems to be typical of Thor films where the directors run out of ideas at some point in the films.

2) Karl Urban’s character, Skurge, was poorly written and poorly acted.

How would the the different age groups rate it?
Children: (not rated for children)
Teens: Average: Excellent
Young adults: Excellent
Medium age adults: Good
Old adults: Good

Rating: 4/5 (no half scores). It's worthwhile to pay to watch it in the cinema.… Expand

While 'Thor' (2011) was a better-than-your-average introduction to the God of Thunder, many did feel that it didn't spend enough time showing him as such, instead they had to make him human in order for us to get to know him. I liked the spectacle, the emotion and the effort for it... it was an entertaining film, but nothing special. 'Thor: The Dark World' (2013) did have bigger action sequences, and more funny chemistry between the brothers Thor and Loki, but the comedy and final act dragged it down, and became forgettable and uninspired, but I still had some fun with it. So, it's easy to understand that with the third movie about the mighty God of Thunder, Marvel needed this one to be good. And, luckily, with director Taika Waititi ('What We Do in the Shadows'), it seems this franchise has been brought some life. 'Thor: Ragnarok' is easily the best chapter in this saga. It's vibrant, entertaining, action-packed, sometimes dark, and, to many's surprise, very funny. I know the word "funny" is odd, since the story of "Ragnarok" is meant to be dark and apocalyptic, but the humor does hit when it needs to. We see that Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has been imprisoned, still searching for those Infinity Stones, but as he returns to Asgard, he discovers that his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the God of Mischief, has been ruling the kingdom and Odin (Anthony Hopkins) is nowhere to be seen. They discover that Asgard is in danger when they meet Hela (Cate Blanchett), the Goddess of Death, and sister of Thor and Loki (wasn't she supposed to be Loki's daughter? Then again, Ego was never meant to be Peter Quill's father...), who wants to rule Asgard and banish those who wrong her. Thor ends up on Sakaar where he meets Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum), and he is told that he must fight in the arena in order to get to where he needs. His opponent happens to be the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), which is seen as not much of a challenge for him. Thor tries to reason with the Hulk and manages to persuade him to help fight Hela before all of Asgard is in ruins. What makes this movie work is that it seems Chris Hemsworth has more fun in the role of Thor than in previous films. Thor has always been seen as the more "boring" Avenger simply because he is an all powerful god who holds a hammer. There's nothing more about him to make him sympathetic, only when he is rid of those powers, does he become interesting. Taika Waititi has a unique vision on the characters of Thor and the Hulk, they really get a chance to shine in this movie than previous ones. They are more interesting here, than before. Plus, the comedy is used effectively. Unlike in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' (2017) where the humor stretches beyond the first act, and the characters joke, even when they're in danger... here, Waititi only uses the humor when its needed. During the final battle, no spoilers, there is little-to-no joking around, especially when the whole world could end. Plus, the replacing of Kat Dennings with the charismatic Jeff Goldblum is also inspired... he is great as the Grandmaster, and I cannot wait to see more of him, if Marvel decides to put him in more upcoming films. Overall, this is a fantastic "Thor" movie, and it works because it ticks the boxes that the other two films forgot to tick. Hemsworth really shines as the God of Thunder, and the supporting cast all do a terrific job in their respective roles. It's funny... but not too funny. It's a blast.… Expand

Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, Thor must race against time to stop Ragnarok, the destruction of Asgard and the end of the Asgardian civilization at the hands of the ruthless Hela.

Marvels surprises us with a well made sequelImprisoned on the other side of the universe, Thor must race against time to stop Ragnarok, the destruction of Asgard and the end of the Asgardian civilization at the hands of the ruthless Hela.

Marvels surprises us with a well made sequel of the Thor franchise series, and in my opinion surpasses even its predecessors, because it tries to portray the series in a completely different light this time round.

Plots are excellent with many good twists. Characters are memorable and entertaining to watch, including even minor characters. Voice acting is excellent for the most parts. The funny lines, though a bit too many throughout the film, were genuinely of good taste and really funny.

One can't help but feel genuinely entertained by this film.… Expand

While Thor and his fallacious stepbrother Loki move to Earth to discover the whereabouts of their father, Hela, theirEureka!, a shrewd filmmaker gives Thor what he deserves. Just like Luke Skywalker, Odin is still off the Asgardian radar. While Thor and his fallacious stepbrother Loki move to Earth to discover the whereabouts of their father, Hela, their cruel (step)sister, a powerful goddess, rises up from the ashes of the past to send, by force, the pair of brothers to Sakaar, a planet ruled under the jolly way of acting of the Grandmaster, in order to get the throne of his former nation, Ragnarok. To address this, He will face a staggered succession of mishap without his legendary hammer, making use exclusively of his worldly abilities and picking up on the way an irreverent and irregular group of allies who crave, from the deepest part of their hearts, to eliminate vile Goddess of Death before it is too late. Narratively, "Ragnarok" possesses heroic avant-garde conjunctures, such as introducing the very first bisexual character within this mega-franchise, fencing two characters in the same Roman war area, playing with more than one antagonist in the same plot, going for broke to cut main hero's powerful blonde long hair, changing abruptly settings by amusingly ordinary circumstances that are poured into utopian and fantastic molds as the coexistence of our stouthearted superhero with a sour-faced roomie into a galactic apartment for a few days, holding dear really the possibilities that comic books have and hundreds more that enable the feature film to differentiate itself radially from the multitude of film genres Marvel Studios has managed to run.

Perhaps most of the spectators don't agree with my perception, but, in personal terms, visual imagery and artistic work exhibited in the film did not impress me as I expected.Marvel has assumed the hard task of distinguishing, thoroughly, every of its film ideas in any of the work fields, either frictions lying in the lexicon of characters, the distinctive nature of them, the film genre or the artistic scenarios that serve as a home for the stories. "Ragnarok" was advertised as a deluge of colors and hilarious events — both in its narrative strangeness and its splendor in film execution — never seen before; the posters have been one of the best among the competition and the trailers had a high expectation, in fact, this was fulfilled, however, it worked as a desired allergen for me. In short: "Thor: Ragnarok" is like eating up your favorite candies without any limit, after an hour, you're terribly cloyed. Color saturation, paraphernalia and spectacularity attempt to fill a lack of real new landscapes, imaginations that are absent, bombarding with color and artistic eccentricities to excess. Analyzing the sound condition, the feature film seems to have been produced by a mix of talents between Edgar Wright, James Gunn, and Mark Mothersbaugh. Under a prominent influence of classic hits of yesteryear, Waititi's movie promised great things in regard to the original motion picture soundtrack, including, as a starter, no more no less, that Led Zeppelin's revolutionary "Immigrant Song" as a fundamental music accompaniment at the first official trailer, a song that also mean a key point in the closing colossal bout. Garnished by compositions created explicitly for the film, the flick switch between classics and proper musical creations at a good pace, it ranks third in the top list of the best scores in the MCU, a merit achieved even though when they aren't entirely original sounds.

No doubt, the main cause of the triumphant revival of Thor is thanks to this funny filmmaker— an adjective justly gained. Sinewy God of Thunder has passed through the hands of Kenneth Branagh and Alan Taylor , however, neither of the two didn't get the opportunity to draw forth his potential in all its splendor, a flaw faded only until the nifty and creative vis comica of the New Zealander emerged as a genuine elixir of life to the character. Without fear of being mistaken, in the marrow of every fascinating feature is this proficient director, his diversity of ideas is absolutely comedic and his film determinations fit in the profile he desires for his projects with great diligence. By dint of a sharp, irreverent and daring perspective, this man has raised a pic of interesting properties, with a heart and a dramatic weight that exceeds in size and visual quality the creative display.

In sum, "Thor: Ragnarok" can be synthesized adequately in a brief and exciting name: Taika Waititi— of course, not downplaying the fabulous work done by the different areas of the film. Hilarious, visually oppressive and entertaining, Marvel Studios remains high on its prestige as it prepares for a wave of spasmodic and challenging releases, Among which stand out its very first motion picture starring an entirely black cast, its film with a female in the stellar role and the mega-event that will mean "Infinity War" when arrives our hearts in May 2018.… Expand

Taika Watiti is quickly becoming one of my personal favourite directors for his directing style, it seems he could turn any awful script into a genuinely heartwarming and entertaining movie. However the main issue with this movie is contrast between the tonal choice and the actual premise of the movie. While toned as a buddy comedy type film, it feels strange for a character like Thor to change from serious and proud to a wise cracking, comedian. However on the topic of comedy this film provided me and the audience with a number of laughs and really worked in that aspect. In conclusion Thor: Ragnarok is an extremely well directed movie, with a brilliant cast and only faulted by the strange tonal choices.… Expand

This was a very surprising film, as when I had heard of a third Thor, my reaction was short of “Oh, Great”. But within the first ten minutes, a much more light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek tone was established, and it felt like a nice change of pace. Taika Waititi’s direction is incredibly strong, and his understanding of the need to expand on the central character is huge in making the story work. All of the performances are fantastic, the visuals are stunning, and the adventure feels fresh and exhilarating. Ragnorok is definitely a must-see.… Expand

But really,getting out of Thor Ragnarok really madeLet me sum up Ragnarok in a few words:'It's that great moment when a studio like Marvel understood that we needed a comedy a-la Spider-Man (2002) (Aside from Guardians Of The Galaxy 2014)'. But really,getting out of Thor Ragnarok really made my day,because it was exactly the movie i wanted to see: (Ragna) Rocky,Action-packed,and mostly funny at times.
Let's talk about the story...I was blown away. Not by how the story was structured,but because they somehow managed to transform the dark and gritty source material of the comics into a flat-out comedy in the best way possible. What they tried to accomplish in 2h 10m really gave me a huge smile on my face. Oh,and also because we're talking about Thor,which movie-wise,was kind of decent as a franchise (quite frankly). Don't get me wrong,i loved it,but there are some problems with the story. If you already saw The LEGO Movie,well,get ready,because there are so many jokes in this movie that at some point you won't even remember that you smiled. Another problem is Hela. While being excellently played by Cate Blanchett,i was almost going to call her Mrs. Exposition,given the fact that in some scenes it'll be just like The Mummy (2017),where you'll see stuff that sets-up something for another movie.
The humor,as i said,was really great all around,and there wasn't a moment where i rolled my eyes or got bored with it. It was some solid humor all along. When the action kicked in,i was amazed by how those were choreographed actor-wise and created effects-wise. You even get to hear The Immigrant Song,which was used in the trailers as part of the "Hype Engine".
And it was satisfying to see some actors (like Chris Hensworth and Mark Ruffalo) actually breath some fresh air (not the serious fresh air of the comics).
So in the end,if you wanted to see a comedy that is really good and not The House or Rough Night,then this is the right movie. Thor Ragnarok deftly pays off itself with a great (mind-blowing for me) story,some funny hints at humor and some of the (not really) best action scenes of the year. And all of this comes out from a Thor movie,so i'm impressed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Thor Hulk fight was cool as hell, even if it was a little simple, it looked incredible. They gave it a definitive space pay per view filter or something. It looked awesome. Hela was cool as well. AND HERE's my biggest defense for the whole movie: Thor himself was great. It felt Waititi designed the whole process of the movie on getting who Chris Hemsworth is, how (Chris Hemsworth) HE sees Thor not how Kevin Feige or Marvel or we the fans have told him to act. How he could actually connect with a Thor he was frankly disconnected from more and more. And I think in this aspect for what the movie is, they had a freaking home run. Hemsworth is fresh again and better than ever. He is awesome, he is Thor and he enjoys it. It feels more like a psychological acting directorial procedure milestone more than a movie merit. But directors should look at whatever Waititi did, because he might have unlocked Chris Hemsworth potential to be awesome to watch on camera. There you have something I can not stop giving props to. Funny and exciting along the way!
Many people did not expect the Thor franchise to be part of the MCU, and I never watched or read anything from this. But when I saw the hammer at the end of Iron Man 2, I was excited. Honestly, the 1st movie did not disappoint me. But it fits into the poem. The second movie has a weak villain. But it's still fun. For this 3rd item .... Yes, much fun! It's Thor, by The Guardians of the Galaxy, but in a non-literal sense.
In just two hours, it moved between the new Asgardian planets and returned to Asgard, with a quick stop at the world with a soft beat and a quick feel.
Once again, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hendlston knocked it out as Thor and Loki in the park, respectively. They were also characters from the first film. But they have evolved so clearly they are not in the groove. Cate Blanchett as Hela is an interesting mix of introspection, distant, and Cate. Just reveling in her role, she is always winning. Actors who return to work have been excellent, returning performers, as do Chris and Tom. The newcomer brings his own flavor to his character, especially Karl Urban. What will he be? But the villain was throwing. Surprised me (The only negative critic is the voice of the Hulk, but it does not sound right for some reason.)
The horrific impact that Marvel has had on delivering no complaints. Asgard looks beautiful even as it is smashed. Sakaar, the new planet that we have seen, can be described as a beautiful trash can. It's just like Ancient Vegas Vegas, surrounded by landfills in the US. It's not boring at all. All kinds of creatures and scenery look good. It is difficult to choose what is useful and what is CGI.
The song is a combination of previous songs and music, with new editions that help to separate each situation.
Overall, Thor Ragnarok is colorful, surprisingly fun, and surprisingly strong for a Thor franchise worth 4 stars out've 5 within the first half. Now bring Infinity War!… Expand

Tessa Thompson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeff Goldblum, and Kate Blanchett all gave great performances.

This movie was almost like a mirror image of GOTG: it had a Drax and a Gamora, and the soundtrack was very similar to it as well. It was also very comedic, and I didn't expect but I definitely didn't hate it; it was so refreshing and fun to see a more laid back superhero film. All the performances are very good, and Jeff Goldblum's character was so perfect for him as an actor that it was one of the most comedic parts of the whole film. There's another character who for me is funnier than almost anyone in any Marvel film, who I won't mention in case I spoil anything, and I almost missed a scene due to how much laughter was coming out of me. I think the reason some people won't like this movie is because (I don't think so but it could be interpreted this way) the story and plot of the film didn't match the comedic tone, as the story is actually very serious, therefore people might be like 'Why are they wasting their time with jokes when they could seriously expand Thor as a character' etc. . Something major happens early on, and it is quite significant and is quite a 'WOW' moment, yet it isn't really explored, so that aspect might be the movie's downfall for some people. Definitely check this movie out, so worth your money, and as a side-note: if anyone is a Hulk fan, specifically a Planet Hulk fan, you DEFINITELY need to see this film. 100%.

I went to watch waiting for a joke every minute, since, before the premiere, they emphasized too much the fact that the film was a comedy, a statement that was an exaggeration: the film is not even a joke and does not have all the humorI went to watch waiting for a joke every minute, since, before the premiere, they emphasized too much the fact that the film was a comedy, a statement that was an exaggeration: the film is not even a joke and does not have all the humor ultraescrachado Guardians Galaxy, having been very well dosed and worked with the most diverse moments (action, humor, etc.).

It is notably the film of the franchise that brings more serious (and seemingly irreversible) consequences and transformations for the character, who leaves the film properly valued and more "dignified" (especially if we consider his previous films). And the actor-protagonist has the one who is, shot, his best moment within the Marvel universe. It delights to see!

Among many surprises, I highlight the performance of the talented Tessa Thompson. And this is doubly positive, because she took the role discredited by those who complained about climbing a black woman to do a valkyrie of the Norse mythology and ended up proving more than worthy to embody the character. She is an expressive actress, talented (to me, surprising) for humor (I did not expect her to do so well), to dialogue and to trickery, interacting very well with others. There's no getting around that cliché comment: she STOLE THE SCENE on several occasions.

The rest of the cast is great too. I call attention to the muse Cate Blachett, charming and GODY in every way; for Tom Hiddleston / Loki, still being that mix of villain and anti-hero we love; and to the director himself, Taika Waititi, who, in addition to directing, played the excellent Korg, a stone giant who is a mix of simplicity, ingenuity and loyalty - perhaps my favorite character in the film.

As an unconditional lover of the 80's, it may be unnecessary to say how much I LOVED the visual aesthetics (Flash Gordon, Jack Kirby, although this second reference is older) and the synth-pop soundtrack (made by the vocalist of Devo, a new wave band from that time). Palms to the director, who took all of this and tapped the blender, serving a delightful dish to otentistas like me.

Another very positive point is that trailers and commercials have, for the most part, VARIOUS scenes that do not exist in the film (or, at most, present them at different angles, with different dialogs etc.), which shows that Marvel learned not to overexpose his lengths as he did with Ultron's Era. Soon, that prediction (mainly of haters) that "who saw the trailers and commercials already watched the whole movie" is very stuck here.… Expand

I am a comic book reader, I have been one since I was a kid so I know first hand how annoying the fanboys can be, how upsetting and pedantic they can be and I must emphasize that because here I'm talking about a movie, not a comic book, however it is still an adaptation and that should be taken into account.

Thor: Ragnarok is a very different film to its predecessors, in every sense, especially in the tone and I must say, the tone is everything for this movie and I say it simply for a reason, that tone will cause many to love it but also many will hate for it.

Thor: Ragnarok represents an advance and at the same time a setback for the MCU, after all, it's been almost 10 years and the fatigue of superheroe films will be more evident if the studio do not dare to take risks.
Ragnarok represents a substantial change for the character and yet remains within the conformity that Marvel has nurtured in recent years. They already know their formula and it seem like they aren't willing to change it.

As I said before, Ragnarok it's very different from its predecessors, now the focus of the story is centered on the adventure and the comedy, an irreverent tone that will divide the fans, after all many of them are expecting something darker and they aren't getting it.

Taika Waititi manages to impose his personality as a filmmaker and in the process he also gives one to Thor who frankly never showed an evolution since we saw him for the first time. It's true that it tries to make him more humorous and it's not a bad thing but let's say that in that department Mark Ruffalo takes away the protagonism when he makes his appearance.

Loki's reappearance is welcomed but unfortunately he feels more collateral than ever before on front of the rest of the characters because those who have the most attention are Thor, Hulk, Valkirie and Hela, played by Cate Blanchett who manages to create a very good villain, although it's due more to the enormous talent of Blanchett than to what the script provides for her.

In the most strict sense, Ragnarok delivers what was asked of it and what it's offering, which is entertainment, a entertainment with action and doses of comedy that will undoubtedly be more than enough for any fan.
The tone, the performances, the story, the production, the score, the effects, everything is first level and as I said it will be enough for anyone who continues enjoying these films without any objections, I'm also a comic book fan and I enjoy this movies a lot, nevertheless I also love movies and I must be analytical in that aspect.

I don't really have arguments to say that Thor: Ragnarok is a bad movie and although it changes the face of the character, it does not change it to the Marvel franchise in general and that honestly as a comic book fan and a movie lover it bothers me, it bothers me when conformism has become the norm instead of the exception.
I'm frustrated that Marvel does not want to innovate anymore and it's sad considering that although they did not bring superheroes to the movies, they do gave them another face, another level and they took a risk when nobody in Hollywood did it with those characters, that's what Marvel should do if they really want to continue for another ten years or beyond.

I judge this film with more fierceness because it's the third MCU film this year and the other two did not move or change the formula at all, considering that we are less than eight months before the premiere of its greatest epic, the project they've been cooking for the last six years, indifference and complacency cannot be accepted as standard.

Thor: Ragnarok is not a disappointment, it's not a bad movie, it's a fun, graceful and entertaining film, it's worth your time and it's even more if you've already have walked all the way of the MCU, it's a solid entrie, superior to its predecessors and I must say that currently it's the second best movie of Phase 3.
Any day, go watch it, you'll have a great time.… Expand
