Marvel are doing things right! Maybe not in the printed world but on film they are finally making fantastic superhero movies. After taking a gamble and winning with the Guardian's of the Galaxy and Deadpool, Marvel seem to have realised thatMarvel are doing things right! Maybe not in the printed world but on film they are finally making fantastic superhero movies. After taking a gamble and winning with the Guardian's of the Galaxy and Deadpool, Marvel seem to have realised that seriousness just feels stupid in comic movies and the best way to make a film is to be self aware. So we've had a series of fun and exciting movies that push the limits of fantasy and cool. Ant Man, Guardians, Deadpool, Dr Strange and now joining the ranks of epic: Thor. The film works so well. It's like an insane mix of 70's sci fi visuals mixed with high fantasy, complemented by a fantastic electro synth 80's style soundtrack. It plays out like Flash Gorden meets Lord of The Rings on acid! You can't help but be excited when you see a giant wolf on a rainbow coulored bridge battling The Hulk or the sounds of Led Zeppelin blasting out while Thor smashes hell out of hordes of Demons. The movie is style personified. It's the perfect formular to trigger its audience into shouting 'F**k yea' at the screen! Thor is a rollercoaster from start to finish, never dull always pushing forward with a well paced narrative. Thor: Ragnarok has a cast of weird and wonderful characters to meet along the way. One of the most memorable and hilarious is Korg. The Chilled out rock creature who speaks in a New Zealand accent. He's so good he needs his own movie!

The cast all work well and manage to keep the audience invested in the crazy world presented. If you haven't seen the film already, do it! Today! I can't wait for the next one!… Expand

What it lacks in story and villains it makes up for in hilarious comedy, breathtaking CGI, and a very memorable performance by Chris Hemsworth. Thor: Ragnarok is one of if not the funniest marvel movie we have seen besides Deadpool.

Thor has always been a difficult franchise for me. I like Marvel, I do think Chris Hemsworth is a decent actor, but the character didn't work for me. Not in the Avengers movies and definitely not in the Thor standalone movies. Too dour, tooThor has always been a difficult franchise for me. I like Marvel, I do think Chris Hemsworth is a decent actor, but the character didn't work for me. Not in the Avengers movies and definitely not in the Thor standalone movies. Too dour, too serious, the character isn't a lot of fun except for a few one lines. That is until this movie. He was fantastic. The humor bordered on too much, but never crossed that line of being too silly.

The rest of the movie was pretty good as well. I liked having Hulk/Banner in the movie. I believe Marvel is underutilizing Mark Ruffalo and it was great to see him involved. I also enjoyed Scrapper 142 as a person who surprises Thor with her origins (won't say more for spoilers) and of course The Grand Master was awesome. How can people not love Jeff Goldblum. He is one of those people I could watch an hour of him just talking. I absolutely loved the storyline on his planet, the gladiators and the revolution.

Sadly the part I didn't like was about Hela and the whole Asgard part. This part felt less fun, less interesting and seemed mostly a way to move around the pieces in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She wasn't interesting and I absolutely hated her outfit. That being said, it is fortunate they seem to spend more time dealing with Hulk/142/Thor on the scrap planet with The Grandmaster. It was pretty awesome.

The one other thing though that this underlined was the way Marvel ignores women. So many little cameos in the movie, and the one little tiny thing involving Black Widow just reminded me that we haven't seen a Black Widow movie, she gets less screen time then any of the others (even the Scarlett Witch, but she doesn't even get her own movie). I am not sure what the problem is with Marvel, they have the Black Panther coming up (and I am going to be there first in line to see it) but still no women led movies.

The fact that D.C. has them beat on this just confuses me even more.

That being said, the movie was great. Definitely in the top 5 Marvel movies for me and the best Thor movie period.

The good: Action packed with a lot of fun moments. It was great to see Hulk/Banner as well, but Thor definitely made it his movie.

The bad: The part in Asgard was not in sync for me with the rest of the movie, and the whole movie underscored Marvel's issues with female lead roles.

Of course I will see the next one, and I like his short hair better.… Expand

Perhaps, I was annoyed at the franchise for messing around with an artistic masterclass like Stefan Skellan and putting Natalie Portman in an annoying damsel role or not utilizing that nigh-pitched bombshell that is Kat Dennings. Maybe, I divulged.
Anyways, Ragnorak is the funniest Marvel movie ever made and it is done so with the culmination of character deflection Loki who goes from World-conquering evil in Avengers to just a God of Mischief who Thor understands and can deal with and still be counted on to help out. As far as U-turns go, this is about it. But it's not a bad thing. It's enjoyable. And is Chris Hemsworth's Thor portrayal - He's funnier, less broody, realistic about his life choices and position, far less buff and with a new haircut. He has a few cool moments to with his entrance fight, the Gladiator helmet and Thunder God scene. You can pretty much round it off with new incomers - Cate Blanchett (cool Evil make-up), Jeff Goldblum (Wacky and Goldblum) and Tessa Thompson (Hot Warrior who purports to the possibility of Valkyries being a squad of voracious lesbites) being cool enough to complete the enjoyable five-fecta.
Thor: Ragnorak is nothing extraordinary and nothing except the formulaic story but it is much better to deal to have when you are going to watch a movie of this nature.… Expand

On one side it is a straight up comedy with a few genuine laughs, but mostly groan inducing. On the other is your typical superhero flare that is a bit weak on the plot, but bailed out by action scenes. These two sides clash in tones that do not mix well together. Added to that cacophony is an out of place rock soundtrack that occasionally pokes its head into the mix. To be honest, it's a huge mess that doesn't realize it's a mess.

If you can last through the beginning where its inept comedy half dominates, you'll be rewarded when the action become more frequent. There the quality is just able to bring the movie the thinnest sliver above mediocre.… Expand

The comedy in it was perfect, not too much but when it was there it was hilarious. Korg was maybe the funniest character i've seen so far in the Marvel series. Hulk was perfect in this movie, he was hilarious and great as Hulk, and when he was Banner the acting was awesome. Fitting for a person who basically just missed 2 years. Thor and Loki's chemistry and back and forth is perfect, like the story about Loki turning into a snake, or when they do "Get Help". Fight scenes were great, and the ending was deep, and powerful. Asgard is a people, not a place, and now I'm excited to see what happens when they get to Earth.… Expand

Don't get me wrong, i'm with comdey MCU movies (Guardins Of The Galaxy), but jumping from different genres was a strange change. Besides that, the film was still funny and had awesome action scenes. However, with the jumping between two places with Hella, then back to Thor and the focus on comdey, it doesn't make this the best MCU movie. But anyway, this was one the best movies of 2017, and from this film, I have high hopes that the future MCU movies will be good!… Expand

Director Taika Watiti has definitely added the much-needed sense of freshness and likability to the character of Thor. The title Ragnarok, which forms the premise of the movie, stands for an important event in Norse mythology that predicts the doom of the gods and the end of Asgard. The story shows that Odin (Anthony Hopkins) reveals a long-kept secret about his past and his first born – Goddess of Death – Hella (Cate Blanchett) to Thor (Chris Hemsworth) & Loki (Tom Hiddleston). Later, Thor finds himself trapped in an alien, warlike planet Sakaar, which is on the other side of the universe, and that too without his mighty hammer. He must find an escape and return to Asgrad to confront one of the most powerful forces he’s ever faced. Every character in the movie has done a fabulous job - be it Chris Hemsworth as mighty turned-witty Thor, Cate Blanchett as the dark Goddess Hella, Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster, Mark Ruffalo as the not-so-witty Hulk, or the scene-stealing man of stone, Krog the Kronan, played by Watiti himself. The action scenes are beautifully shot and will definitely give you goosebumps. Thor: Ragnarok is without a doubt the best of Thor franchise and one of the best Marvel movies ever made.… Expand

The Thor Franchise (And "The Incredible Hulk", to be fair) has been rather forgettable and OK at best. "Ragnarok" definitely changed that. The third trilogy of the OG MCU squad delivers in action, comedy, and story line. Not only is this one of the funniest MCU installments, but also one of the best. The cast is excellent. Seems like Marvel is getting every A & B list actors possible. This time, they brought in the likes of Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thompson, Karl Urban, and Jeff Goldblum (!) to join the already crowded cast (Hemsworth, Hiddleston, Elba, and Sir A. Hopkins, plus Ruffalo). They all shine in their respective roles. The character Valkyrie makes fans demand her own movie, for good reasons.

Not all the humors work, but when it does, it's really funny. And unlike most MCU movies, Ragnarok is quite colorful (Just like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2). The ending surely makes us extremely hyped for the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War movie. Oh, and there are some surprising (And hilarious) cameos too. Don't miss this movie, go watch it!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the luke-warm reception to Thor: The Dark World, Marvel has decided to shake things up in a big way for the third Thor solo outing, borrowing a lot from the studio’s surprise hit Guardians of the Galaxy films.

Director Taika Waititi has made a frantically paced, colourful, comedy with Ragnarok, and the result is both a blessing and a curse.

‘Comedy’ is the operative word here, with virtually every character delivering punchline after punchline as Thor (Chris Hemsworth) embarks on a quest to save Asgard from the evil Hela (Cate Blanchet). While the comedy is for the most part great and definitely delivers a fun time at the cinema, the film’s need to get to the next laugh as soon as possible can sometime leave the dramatic or character elements wanting. While Thor, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the other Asgardian characters are dealing with some fairly dire circumstances and the potential destruction of their home, they’re never too far from cracking a joke. It’s ok that the film doesn’t take itself seriously, but the characters don’t take anything seriously either. Every time something potentially dramatic happens it’s undercut by a punchline. It’s as if Waititi feels the need to constantly remind the audience that ‘This is dumb, and you’re dumb for liking it’.

Now if the alternative to the more comedic approach is The Dark World, (a grey, bland, melodrama with Kat Dennings for comedic relief) then I’ll take Ragnarok any day. However the balance is a little off here. The film tries to beat Guardians of the Galaxy at it’s own game, and doesn’t quite succeed.

Visually, Ragnarok is definitely one of Marvel’s best entries, with a bright colour palette and some spectacular action sequences, the director uses every tool at his disposal to make each scene pop with on-screen creativity.

The much advertised return of the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)is a definite highlight. As Thor is flung to the far side of space he encounters his former team mate in an alien gladiatorial fighting pit and, of course, hilarity ensues.

Hemsworth and Ruffalo are on great form and the film is at its best when they are together. While neither actor gets anything particularly dramatic to do, they certainly prove they have comedy chops. I for one would love to see some sort of buddy cop movie with these two.

Likewise Hiddleston is always good value as Loki and while Ragnarok may not be the most witty outing for the God of Mischief, its always fun when the sons of Odin get together.

The new characters also make fine additions to the growing universe. Jeff Goldblum isn’t so much acting as ‘being Jeff Goldblum’ as the Grand Master but that’s far more entertaining than him phoning it in like he did in last year’s Independence Day: Resurgence. Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie does a lot with a small amount of screen time and while her arc doesn’t quite have the impact it should in her debut outing, it’ll be great to see how she develops in future installments.

On the villain front however, Marvel is predictably lacking. Cate Blanchett should have brought some menacing gravitas to proceedings. Instead she is left on her own for most of the movie to monologue to a wasted Karl Urban (who really should have a bigger/better role in the MCU) and threaten extras.

Where the film does triumph is its ending, as all the pieces fall into place for a final confrontation….and then things take a left turn. Obviously I won’t spoil the ending but its safe to say it did not go the way you’d think and we’re left in a very interesting place going forward.

As with this years’ Guardians of Galaxy Vol 2, Thor: Ragnarok feels like an assault on the senses on first viewing, with so much going on at such a pace its hard to take it all in. Like GotGv2, I feel it will benefit from repeat viewings, although some of the laughs (of which they’re are plenty) will obviously be lost.

A spectacular looking, funny, if somewhat superficial entry into the franchise, Thor: Ragnarok is a unique, crazy and most importantly memorable take on Marvel’s God of Thunder.… Expand

Korg may perhaps be one of my favorite characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe of all time, serving as comedic relief but also a way to ground the characters in the midst of a lot of fantasy and pseudo scientific imagery. The fact that director Taika Waititi himself portrayed Korg and directed this fairly stunning nostalgia infused fantasy film only serves to pique the interest in his future projects. Solid performances by Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston do not leave any want by the viewer. Hiddleston and Hemsworth can be argued, have the best chemistry to date in the MCU. The only issues that arise from this thoroughly enjoyable film, come from the villain of the film Hella Goddess of Death. A common thread among many of the MCU's villains is they come off as an almost cookie cutter depiction of evil. Either lacking in character backstory, or the emotional depth. They are simply there, they fight and then they lose. Over all a solid outing and fitting conclusion to the Thor standalone movies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Is far better than I expected however is not so good like everyone pretend. To anyone who ever read the comics notes a great difference between MCU and the editorial arcs, but to be an adaptation and a mix of several stories the movie is pretty decent. The moments between Hulk/Banner and Thor with a few white jokes makes the movie fun for moments, a little bit delirant for others. The flip of Loki something that you can see it coming from far away is well executed and the death of Odin is ok.
At the end is a movie that you can see one in the cinema, and two.. maybe three times in the Tv because you was doing zapping and suddenly remember that funny escene that you want to see again. Is not a masterpiece, is only another disney MCU movie… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thor gets a haircut, looses his eye and hulk ass is there to see in all its glory... In addition to his bad ass sister appearing kicking everyone’s ass. What more do you want? How about comedic relief and an abundance of new colorful actors. The movie starts off strong and ends strong... I wasn’t expecting much but Thor and Hulk are a match made in heaven. The bromance is alive... Seems Marvel watched a few telenovelas when producing the story, but hell its such an emotional rollercoaster. There are a lot of wtf! just happened moments to "oh no she didn’t." If I were the stereotypical black woman sitting on the back of the movie theatre you would hear, "oh hell no..." It’s such a great movie, it’s like visiting your mom for the holidays and eating home cooked food, no five star restaurant could match. Go watch it now, I haven’t been to the movies in three years so getting my lazy butt up to go watch it was worth it. Trust me when I say this, you will tear up as I recently lost my father. Happy Holidays ^.^… Expand

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

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

By far the best of the trilogy Ragnarok stands out because of its humor and color scheme. Many fans have complained that over the years Marvel films have acquired a generic feel and tone, however, Ragnarock is all style. The movie is one of the best looking Marvel films, besides the Guardians movies. It is also very humorous but juxtaposes that humor with some very great character moments that I haven't seen in a Marvel film in a long time. It's because of this blend of action, comedy, and drama that I think this movie is worthwhile. However, the movie is a bit unmemorable. Although it will have major ramifications in the MCU, it never felt very serious. The steaks in this movie are not high enough to get one invested really deeply in the overall plot. If it weren't for the humor, visuals and key moments between the characters we love, I honestly would've rated this lower since really the steaks diminish the overall plot of the film. Having said that, the villain was passable due to some connections to the main characters. Overall I believe this film is really cool, although not groundbreaking. It's not the best film in the MCU but it sure is fun. Final score 7/10… Expand

Why should I care if the characters are just making gags all over the place? Ragnarok was a complete change in tone for the Thor franchise that I could not get behind. The first two weren't Oscar worthy, but at least something actually felt important in them.

Besides that, continuity of characterization from other installments in the franchise went out the window. Since when does Thor use Earth colloquialisms? When did Hulk start talking in complete sentences and have feelings besides rage? And I want to know: Why does nobody on Asgard remember Hela if the Valkyrie warrior who fought her looks a decade younger than Thor (I know they're godly and all, but they have to age at some point, look at Anthony Hopkins)?

As a final issue I've not been a fan of in the recent MCU installments, why must they unnecessarily plug they're other characters? Why have drawn out scenes that serve no real purpose except to try and entice you to watch every one of their films?… Expand

Sorry about the periods i'm trying to fill blank space. I gotta blank space baby, and I'll write your name. Wait a minute. Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, want to play?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space baby
And I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the king baby I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storm
I can make all the tables turn
Rose gardens filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So it's gonna be forever

The first Thor film was a serious toned take on the character with heart. The second film, The Dark World, fell short due to a boring antagonist and a plot that felt jammed in to just move the MCU along. 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.
Overall, Thor is a character that cannot be taken too serious cause it'll water down the material, it can't be too dark for it'll be unbalanced, but make it an action comedy and it works.

Thor: Ragnarok has the distinction of being by far the best Thor movie, though considering the other two, this isn't that much of a achievement. It focuses much more on comedy than the previous movies, while also giving much more screen timeThor: Ragnarok has the distinction of being by far the best Thor movie, though considering the other two, this isn't that much of a achievement. It focuses much more on comedy than the previous movies, while also giving much more screen time to the Asgardians and the like rather than Earth, a good change in my opinion.

The story is solid: Odin has died and as such has released Thor's sister, Hela, from her imprisonment. Trying to warn Asgard, he and Loki are then transported to the planet of Sakarr, where Thor is forced to fight in the Arena in order to gain his freedom and travel back to Asgard to defeat Hela and prevent the destruction of yada yada yada.

The story contains much more comedy, something that is quickly becoming a staple of the newer Marvel movies ever since Guardians of the Galaxy. Most of the comedy can be funny, though there are some jokes that seem rather hit or miss. The tone of the movie also has a serious problem, as there will be many times in the movie when a serious moment is happening, only for it to be ruined by an ill timed joke. The characters of the movie are very well written, with a return of some old fan favorites and some new people as well. Jeff Goldblums character in particular can be one of the most amusing in the story. Hela is a rather generic Marvel Villain, but they do try to make the whole of Asgard seem much more "grey" than it previously seemed, but Odin is once again completely wasted.

As for the effects... they could be better. The CGI is REALLY noticeable during certain scenes, and a lot of the action can seem rather floaty and fake. This detracts from the seriousness of some scenes nearly as much as the humor can.

The music is rather unremarkable. No original tract stands out, but the use of some rock songs are always welcome, such as "Immigrant Song" being used for two important scenes (though one should've been replaced with "Thunderstruck", I'm just saying"

Overall, a solid Movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Definitely the best Thor movie and has several good moments, but it has several problems that hold it back from being truly great.

What I found was that the director Taika Waititi voiced not just that character but another one as well. Then I found out he also co-wrote and directed the movie I was enamored with recently, "What We Do In Shadows". Shadows is genius in all the silliness it portrays in a mockumentary about a house of vampires. So I was elated to also read that they are planning a part 2. Yesterday I did know who Taika Waititi was, now I want to watch every project he is involved with. Thor: Ragnarok is the funniest superhero movie ever made, and while you will not slap your leg and laugh uncontrollably, you will smile and chuckle throughout. If you like these type of movies, this is the one for you. If you never seen one of them before, perhaps this is the one to take the chance with. Best superhero movie eva!

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).

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.

The humor was actually pretty good, but it is so jarring to have emotion/tension filled moments just immediately under-cut with jokes that make light of character deaths. I always liked that Thor was more of the straight man in the Avengers, but this time around he's playing for a laugh in every scene. I liked Cate Blanchett's villain, and her backstory was interesting, but her motivation was just as bland as every other villain these days. She hints at some interesting stuff about Asgard white-washing its history to hide the past cruelties, but that never creates any conflict between Thor and Odin/Loki. Jeff Goldblum's character was fun but underused, Tessa Thompson was good but underused.

Now, this movie is not perfect. The stakes could have been higher and the creators could have created some more meaningful scenes by getting rid of some of the jokes in scenes that really didn't need them.

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

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.

Taika Waititi does a great job of giving us a film that works individually and only takes advantage of her connection with the UCM to complement contexts and references. Finally there is a Spectator-Character connection with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). The villain Hela the goddess of death (Cate Blanchet) has a great participation, its foundations and intentions are clear, also the interpretation of Cate is perfect and the paper really fits. Loki (Tom Hidleston) as usual is a great character that develops slowly, but effectively.
The film has a comedy context, thanks to its director (Taika Waititi - What We Do In The Shadows), the comedy is mostly a great success and contribution to the film, but certainly there are times where it is unnecessary and does not allow to develop to the movie emotionally.
Conclusion: Thor Ragnarok is a relaxed, fun film, which was made with heart, freedom and is a great contribution to the development of character, however it has its flaws that almost always derive from its own comic context.

And while there are many fingers to point at the reason, for the most part it seems that the Marvel Universe as a whole has become dull and boring... Then we have the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). If you needed any thought on how to fix Marvel, this is it. Funny, witty, unique... And a original universe/telling of events in itself. I like to think of the MCU as a well needed/deserved reboot (multiverse) of Marvel as a whole. And while there have been some flops along the way (Spiderman... *cough*). This is one of the movies that is a MUST if you enjoy Marvel at all. I could go on a long rant about the pure bliss it was to watch this movie... However you should just freakin' see it. It is AMAZING!… Expand

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

We lose what made Thor movies interesting, and that's the nordic references. Loki plays his most boring role in the MCU, he basically does nothing related to the plot, just repeating the same "I hate you" actions as always. However, Thor does evolve, having a more interesting development in his relations with other characters. You will have fun with this film, but it's far from the best of Marvel movies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've seen the first two Thor movies in theaters and thought they were alright. I was actually a little hesitant to see this since it seemed more Planet Hulk than something from the lore of Thor. The best way I can describe the movie as a combination of both minus all the heavy themes of either. The movie is trying to be a bit too silly and tries too hard to avoid anything serious. For example, anytime a hero wants something on cue, they are delayed, dramatic music stops and they tell whoever to wait, like Thor summoning his hammer and it takes ten or fifteen seconds before it comes. This happens so much that by the time Banner does the same thing near the end where he needed to be the Hulk, you can predictably tell it isn't going to happen right away. The problem with this is that it is not in character. It makes it look like Thor never even used the hammer before or that Banner doesn't know how to Hulk up despite the stress of falling out of a plane should have easily triggered it.
The best humor was when the characters are being themselves and play off each other rather than trying to be silly. The Dr. Strange scene was probably the best part. Ironically, I would say Dr. Strange was closer to his comic depiction than he was in his own movie.

The Asgard section felt tacked on and a bit repetitive. Each scene starts off with Hela upset people don't remember her and then she kills with a bunch of swords. In concept, she's great, but it goes back to being a bit on the repetitive side.

I wished that the Asgardians put up more of a fight. Two of the Warrior's Three are killed in less time than it takes for it to click on who they are and Lady Sif doesn't even appear. Heimdall was the only one who got decent screen time and while his parts were short, they were well done. Hela is killing everything and it doesn't feel as dark as it should be. It's not only mostly bloodless, but when people die, they die instantly. Some would say it would ruin the fun, but frankly, if Deadpool can incorporate cancer in a serious manner, why can't the fall of Asgard be treated with a darker tone? The film flows well, except for one section in the third arc. It shows Hela and Scourge are closing in on Heimdall's refugees. She's throwing swords at the door on one side while the others are escaping in the back on a dirt trail with sparse vegetation. Thor says he'll distract her and heads to the throne room. The next moment, there he is and so is Hela. The refugees are on the bridge with Scourge now following after them with soldiers. It's just a strange transition. I still give the movie an 8 because it is a big improvement over the last two Thor films and the marketing pointed to this tone, but it could've been better.

The next moment,… 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

The movie has a touch very similar to Guardians of the Galaxy, maybe that's why the public liked it more than the previous two. I like them all, but this one is much better, I have to admit.
The level of comedy and action are very well synchronized, which is the specialty of Marvel movies, by the way.
The story was beautifully built, and every detail makes me think how cool it is to see the interconnection with this shared cinematic universe.
For me, they should do more of this.
Betting on something more "light" was a sure point, since the previous tried to be the "darkest film of Marvel" and is frowned upon by the fans.
About the characters, I don't have much to say.
They took the focus of Loki, which for me is important because he is very recurrent in the films of Thor and would be too saturated.
Hela, the main villain, is a type of enemy I like to see, being quite powerful and really a threat to the protagonists.
Usually, and for me, the villains in Marvel movies aren't that interesting or are underused.
Hela was an exception.
What she wants, she can do.
Thor and Hulk are an incredible duo that I never thought would work.
If I were in the movie, I'd be just like Hulk fans screaming "HULK! HULK! HULK!". In fact, my friend asked me about what I thought of the most talkative Hulk, and I said, "He didn't talk like Bruce, he said the way he did, which was good for me. Was time for he starts to talk"
Finishing what I said and I want to say, Thor Ragnarok excelled in every aspect and managed to finalize with gold key the trilogy of the God of Hammers and a beautiful cliffhanger for the long awaited Infinite War.
Even the songs are remarkable.
Go with your friends and draw your conclusions, but I'm already saying that will not disappoint you at all… Expand

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.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Too much comedy, this should not be a superhero movie but a comedy movie that makes people laugh. Bad movie for superhero genre, Thor first movie and Thor Dark World more to superhero genre than Thor , maybe thor go crazy since his hair is cut… Expand

Thor Ragnarok had the potential to be an excellent action, superhero movie. It had a great story, threatening villain, and high stakes. However, it turned out to be a comedy from start to finish with non-stop jokes. Literally, each scene wasThor Ragnarok had the potential to be an excellent action, superhero movie. It had a great story, threatening villain, and high stakes. However, it turned out to be a comedy from start to finish with non-stop jokes. Literally, each scene was to set up the next joke. There were so many jokes they ruin scenes which were supposed to be emotional or provide a major game changer for the protagonist. If I had to give Thor Ragnarok a grade it would be a C-.… Expand

Is a good movie but there's a lot of not funny jokes, that's the worst, there's a joke every 5 minutes, but it's a good movie even that, and if you like the Marvel movies you will enjoy it, but the jokes is the only bad thing, and all theIs a good movie but there's a lot of not funny jokes, that's the worst, there's a joke every 5 minutes, but it's a good movie even that, and if you like the Marvel movies you will enjoy it, but the jokes is the only bad thing, and all the actors are good in there characters… 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

If one word went into the describing this film...Spectacular...I've never seen a movie blend perfectly timed humor and great action so well. Easily one of the best superhero movies of all time!

Best Thor film ever. This stands out for all the other Marvel films, not only is it funny but it is also memorable. It includes new characters, such as The Grandmaster and Korg, who are now two of my favourite MCU characters. It's incredible,Best Thor film ever.
