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.

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.

Thor: Ragnarok finally gives the character of Thor something to do other than standing around and being overshadowed by his adopted brother.

The interactions between Thor andThor: Ragnarok finally gives the character of Thor something to do other than standing around and being overshadowed by his adopted brother. This movie is exciting, absurdly hilarious and visually stunning. The interactions between Thor and the Hulk are entertaining, while scenes including Bruce Banner give this movie some much needed emotional depth. Cate Blanchett shines in the role of Hela, mostly because of her amazing costume, which is just one of many amazing costumes.
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.
All in all, this movie is great fun in a beautifully crafted world that looks like it came straight out of a comic book. While by no means perfect, I had a blast with this film and I am excited to see what's next for Thor. Heck, I never thought I'd say that. Well done Marvel, once again.… 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 isn't a really bad thing, but makes the movie awarkward. Thor and Thor: The Dark World had comdey in them, this film has a lot of comdey, and really didn't feel like a thor movie at times. 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 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

But thor ragnarok took the thor trilogy to another level. The first 2 movies were pretty serious (the first one was good, the seconds one was bad but not garbage) but this one was a pure action packed comedy. It was very fun and entertaining and by far the best thor movie in the trilogy. Hela was also a very enjoyable villain even if She was cheesy. I have a flaw with this film. There were too much jokes and sometimes the characters didnt know when too stop. Being this said this is a pretty good movie.… Expand

The first Thor movies didn’t haveTo start off, this movie has a way different feeling than the previous Thor movies, and it pays off in every way. This movie is first and foremost a comedy that is accompanied with great action sequences. The first Thor movies didn’t have this framework and focused more on the conflicts and action, with very little comedy throughout either movie. The jokes in this movie land well almost every time and keeps you vested throughout the whole movie. I enjoyed that this Thor movie in that it felt like the scale of the MCU increased a ton with the new planets involved and new characters that give history to Thor’s world. The comedy being in the forefront gives this movie a great advantage because it feels different from its predecessors and can bring in a new audience because it’s so funny and enjoyable to watch, and rewatch when it comes out on blu-ray. Lastly, the side characters in this movie offered great comedic moments to, which is hard to so with characters like that.

The new villain, Hela, was also a standout to me because she was one of the more compelling villains that the MCU has had in a while. While the MCU has great heroes, their villains have never been on the same level as other villains, like the Joker. I would have to say I enjoyed seeing a different villain in the MCU that not only is acted well, but actually is given a clearer motivation than others. For example, there is a part in the movie where she reveals some secrets about Asgard and it hits you because you sort of can see things Hela’s way and why she is dong whats she’s doing. Having clear cut, and understanding, motivations makes Hela an MCU villain that is above average compared to other Marvel villains throughout the years.

This film is pretty great all around, but there are some nitpicks to talk about. First off, some of the CGI could’ve been cleaned up a little better, like the bad guy at the beginning of the film Thor fights before Hela. Also, a lot of this movie was improved, from reports, and it does show in certain scenes that they let the actors just go off and talk. This is by no means a bad thing, but there were some points I could easily tell what was written in the script and what wasn’t. This made it feel like two different movies at some points because, to me, it felt obvious what was improvised and actually in the script. Lastly, I didn’t like how how the last joke was delivered, the last moment of the movie is built up as this dramatic moment and it should’ve been that way. But, the joke took away from what could’ve been a powerful, dramatic moment for Thor.

In the end, Marvel has another hit on its hands and gives audiences a fun experience. Along with delivering a Thor movie that feels like what the previous Thor movies should’ve been like all along. I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end and was laughing throughout while having a good time.… Expand

After the release of Infinity War, I had begun bingewatching all the MCU movies. And I'm not gonna lie to you. I wasn't feeling like watching this movie. After seeing Thor and Thor: The Dark World, I had taken the assumption that Thor moviesAfter the release of Infinity War, I had begun bingewatching all the MCU movies. And I'm not gonna lie to you. I wasn't feeling like watching this movie. After seeing Thor and Thor: The Dark World, I had taken the assumption that Thor movies are always bleak and lifeless. They always try to be serious when they can't possibly do it when they have characters like Thor, Loki and Odin. And so when it was time for me to watch this movie I was very reluctant, because I knew I can't skip it. But I'm glad I sat through this movie, because it was a huge improvement.

The movie started out in Asgard, from the point where Thor: The Dark World left (and honestly the only thing I remember about that movie). The way that movie had ended, I had thought this movie would build more on Loki pretending to be Odin. But that ended immediately. Instead this movie focuses on Thor and Loki's estranged sister Hela, who had been abandoned by Odin at a young age. She easily manages to defeat both Thor and Loki and sends them to exile on Sakaar, with Thor reaching the planet two weeks after Loki. That was the part where the movie skyrockets the interest. I like everything about it movie from a cinematic point of view - the CGI, the acting, the comic timings, the story, the dialogues. Everything is absolutely perfect. I could undoubtedly say that this is one of, if not the best superhero movies which is not an origin story but rather a continuation of events. The comedy of the arc is the selling point. My favourite dialogue was the rock guy saying, "I planned to start a revolution but didn't publish enough pamphlets so hardly anyone turned up."

After Thor, Loki, Hulk and Valkyrie come back to Asgard to stop Hela we get the best CGI ever witnessed with Thor. I really like how his eyes glow whenever he has to shoot lightning. I always wanted him to be like that. Thor really had a very drastic character development. I know many people have said this - he lost his father, learnt about his sister, his friends were killed, his precious hair was cut by none other than Stan Lee himself, he continuously got taken down by Valkyrie and lost against Hulk, his entrie planet got blown up and his people encountered Thanos in space. And yet this was the funniest MCU movie yet. And not just Thor, every scene that had Loki in it was always interesting too.

However, this movie was obviously not without its set of flaws. For starters the elephant in the room, the amount of exposition that was given throughout the movie was too much, with most of it never being mentioned any time afterwards. There was even a scene where Thor is explained everything about Sakaar on a virtual trip, but it was never talked about afterwards nor was it necessary. If it wasn't for this unnecessary padding of runtime, I'd have given it 10/10. The Planet Hulk arc was also quite unexplored from the comics, and it would have been great if they made a spinoff movie on Hulk also since Hulk has never been given a solo movie starring Mark Ruffalo. Then the biggest plot hole, Valkyrie electrocuting Thor also didn't make sense since Thor is literally the God of Thunder and he shoots lightning from his hands. And then when Hela pins Thor he gets the ex-machina of his father telling him about his superpowers.

Thor: Ragnarok is an excellent MCU movie. It's kinda sad that this can't be enjoyed unless you've watched Thor: The Dark World and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Because it could have really been cool to show to someone who has no idea what the MCU is all about. It does have the good reward to it, since you can watch Avengers: Infinity War after it. And the tone of this movie is so flexible that even the grim Infinity War completely suits in being its sequel.… Expand

One of it not the best entry into the MCU. With Guardians of the Galaxy easily the funniest.
Getting Taika Waititi to direct was genius, bringing a freshess to the MCU that was much needed.

This is my favorite Thor movie so far. They still are all seriously flawed. I thought the comedy was done well. There were some truly funny moments. The good part of Thor is they allowed him to be Thor with his powers throughout the movie. However, I was generous and subtracted only 1 star for taking Thor's hammer away from him for 95% of the movie. This isn't a spoiler since they do this at the beginning. Would it kill Hollywood to let Thor have his powers and his hammer during an entire movie? If they do one day, it will become a Thor blockbuster movie. I must say Cate Blanchett was spectacular as the main villain in the movie. She should get an Oscar nod for this. She looked like she enjoyed playing as Hela. Minus one star for not having enough of her in the movie. She won't get the Oscar nod since they didn't give her enough time in the movie. They get a great villain and then underutilize her. Shame on you Hollywood.

Jeff Goldblum does another great job at the movies. He was a lot of fun to watch as he ruled as supreme leader and Tessa Thompson was excellent as the brooding Valkyrie who needs her passion roused to find herself again.

One day, I would like to see Marvel and Hollywood make a serious Thor movie. Just recreate the story from one of the classic Thor comics and run with it. Is it that hard to figure out how to draw Thor's legions of fans to the theaters over and over again??? I enjoyed this movie, but would not repeat while in the theaters. And of course go see it at a genuine 70 mm IMAX theater if you want to truly be treated to a great movie experience!… Expand

We usually take turns picking the shows, and for every "superhero" movie, I usually choose a biopic or something wonderfully weird, like a Coen brothers film. So not expecting anything besides the special effects and usual cliched dialogue (if I hear the word "destiny" one more damn time . . .) I was pleasantly surprised to find that "Thor: Ragnarok" was actually a pretty decent movie. Following the success of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" series, the folks behind this movie opted for a lighter and more humorous approach but still kept the special effects dazzling as the other "Thor" pictures have been. So while we get the usual plot, Thor vs. The Hulk gladiator duel notwithstanding, of Hela, the Goddess of Death (boo) whom, after Odin dies reappears and promises the utter annihilation of Asgaard and the universe, one presumes. So leave it to Hammer Boy and the wishy washy Loki, always well played by Tom Hiddleston to figure everything out and save the universe yet again. That plot has run its course and I deduct two stars for what has become one of Hollywood's lamest cliches for sci-fi and superhero movies. What saves it though as I said before is a fresh injection of genuinely funny material, even if it is derivative of "Guardians". After all, humor was not invented just for that pair of movies, but it certainly made the difference between another outer space yawner and a brilliantly hilarious pair of movies. I do not want to spoil the main parts of the movie that aren't part of the old tried and true formula, but it is indeed fun to see that even superheroes can screw up. A portal between one planet run by a deceptively evil character played by Jeff Goldblum and Asgaard is referred to as the "Devil's Anus", and immediately I could think of a few towns and cities I've been to or worked in that deserve that title themselves. So if you like the "Thor" series anyway, you'll be happy with this one. If you're like me and are long tired of this genre, with the exception of the unexpectedly good "Wonder Woman", at least you'll get some good laughs from a movie of this type that for once doesn't take itself too seriously.… Expand

It's almost like two separate films tacked together, and while one part - which focuses on Thor finding new partners - is really well done, the actual Ragnarok plotline isn't.
In similar way, the movie is focused on the comedic side, so whenever there is a serious moment (and there are many in the film, that deserved to be serious,) it undercuts itself with a joke.
It also builds towards a final confrontation, which I found disappointing and unfulfilling.

So, to repeat, Thor:Ragnarok is a fun film, an entertaining film; but if you care anything at all for its mythology or story-line, you might be disappointed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the flashiest, most eye-popping, and humorous MCU films, at times garishly bordering on decadence. I felt more engaged and entertained while watching it than I do with most Marvel films, but in retrospect the experience feels a bit empty. The film is so nutty and all over the place that the overall plot doesn't feel very coherent or meaningful. Some of the characters are squandered. Loki's usual cunning is underplayed. Thor doesn't seem to go through any meaningful experiences to build character, just some Mufasa-esque "remember who you are" mysticism that makes everything okay in the end. Hela, the new villain and Thor and Loki's sister, is such a throwaway "crazy lady" villain that she could have easily been Cruella de Ville or any number of other movie villains, and there was no meaningful implementation of the fact that she's their sister. Valkyrie as well feels a bit tossed in, and apparently alcoholism is a joke to the writers of this film, as it's played up for laughs with this character but never shown to be a mistake or problem for the character like it is for Tony Stark in Iron Man 2. There's more than enough twinkle and eye-candy to make this a worthwhile watch for superhero movie fans, but for me this is a one and done. There wasn't really enough memorable plot or character development going on here for me to want to see it again, and some moments were just cringe. Still, it's more fun than most of the MCU.… Expand

Thor is essentially a comedy with fantastical characters. In its favour, it is much much funnier than 99% of the comedies we've been forced to endure the last number of years. It's a tremendous spectacle with heaps and heaps of CGI , cosplay and in jokes. It doesn't take itself too seriously and that works here. The focus is on laughs and special effects. Purists will bleat but I think the die is cast for Thor . Jeff Goldblum's very funny comic side is on show here and will be a permanent feature for sure.… 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

After the disappointing The Dark World, Marvel needed to get the next Thor film right. Chris Hemsworth (Thor) demanded the next film be more comedic and his character funnier, like Guardians of the Galaxy, and it shows on Ragnarok. There are plenty of jokes and running gags, but thankfully not too many as to drag the film down in parody (unlike the Guardians of the Galaxy films). Seriously the film is a joy to watch. A couple of laughs never hurt anybody.

The action scenes are amazing and beautifully executed. From the gladiatorial fight between Thor and Hulk, to the fight against Hela and her army of the dead, to the air fight on Sakaar. Special effects abound, and we even see Thor finally mastering his power as the God of Thunder, after his Mjolnir hammer was destroyed.

The story is complex but still quite predictable. The movie's plot is a mix of the Ragnarok myth (the Viking equivalent of the End of the World), the "Planet Hulk" comic book storyline, and a new enemy, the Goddess of Death Hela, who escapes from her prison and is hell bent on revenge against the House of Odin. After a series of events Thor ends up on the planet Sakaar which is ruled by the Grandmaster who organises gladiatorial fights for his pleasure. Thor has to fight against Hulk to gain his freedom. They both escape from the planet along with Valkyrie and Loki to save Asgard (and the Universe) from Hela's army.

But the film's story features plot holes and logic inconsistencies, like, isn't Ragnarok too convenient to take advantage of while at the same time Hela happens to be on Asgard, raising hell (literally)? Still it's a fun movie to watch but I think Thor Ragnarok adds nothing new to the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe (for example there is no new Infinity Stone found) other than introduce the Valkyrie (possibly a love interest for Thor in the future films), the Grandmaster and a couple minor characters. Hela could have been a major enemy of the Avengers but she is no more apparently (you never know whether Marvel bring her back somehow, after all she's the Goddess of Death).

All in all, I definitely enjoyed Thor Ragnarok even if it's not perfect. Go and see it, it's great.… Expand

“A hilariously fun ride, that isn’t anything deeper.”
I greatly enjoy the Marvel movies because of their balance. I’ve often admired how Marvel Studios has been able to take the seriousness of these fantasy stories and fuse them with the comedy of its characters and situations to find a perfect middle. Some are more serious than others and some more comedic, and you will find fans on either side of the spectrum. Thor: Ragnarok was not balanced. If you’re looking for a fun ride than look no further, but if what you’re after is an intriguing storyline, serious acting, or even some great battles then look elsewhere.
Speaking of acting, I loved Cate Blanchett as Hela, but the threat of her character and overwhelming power never seemed serious. Obviously you can guess that the heroes will most likely win at the end of the day, but when you make it so blatant it really steals away the threat. When it came to the action I was let down as well. There were the start of some very good scenes, but none of them could stay serious for longer than thirty seconds, if they even managed that long without a one-liner or pokes at superhero tropes.
The scenes where we did see the darker and grim side of events felt rushed and after thoughts, almost as if the director had to put them in, but only to get back to the humor. Once I found out Taika Waititi was the director, whose previous work includes What We Do in the Shadows it made a little more sense. It truly felt like one big joke, but if you like your comedy you’ll probably like this movie. If you’re a hardcore nerd who seriously debates who would win in a fight between Thor and Hulk, don’t get too excited. This film felt like a side story within the Marvel universe and one I hope that was meant to be the comic relief in the long line of more serious titles. A great comparison to make within the Marvel family would be that Thor: Ragnarok was the complete opposite of Logan. This film had jokes from the first line to the last. The serious fantasy and science-fiction fanboy part of me wanted to attack this movie, but even I can enjoy a pure laugh fest from time to time, as long as this doesn’t become the norm.

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

Changes a lot with the other Thor's movies. I didn't feel scared about Hela or de Ragnarok, fight scenes aren't bad as much. Another movie from Marvel but not another movie from Thor. A Guardians of the Galaxy movie but with only humor, 0 drama.

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

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.

This is the best Thor movie. Visuals are great - very trippy..
Hella is great and especially Jeff Goldblum. Could have handled Odin better.
Has a little too much humor even in the serious scenes.

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

Thor: Ragnarok

Waititi is the surprising exotic vacation in this MCU. It is sunny and breezy in the realm of Asgard where the idea of mockery colors it like a phoenix for Chris Hemsworth who has been working hard in his subsequently failing chapters. It took them two major losses and Taika Waititi, the director, to finally get a clear vision of this "Lord Of Thunder" with sparkly fingers, of course. By taking itself not seriously, it takes a tremendous amount of effort, and Waititi walks that fine line and doesn't let the "joke" overpower the kinetic energy the film contains.

It starts off by literally make a tomfoolery out of its previous installments, by pointing out the elephant in the room, the storyline criticizes its own flaws making it impossible to blame for anything. Hemsworth, finally gets the feet tapping rhythm, and as he claims that the character eventually grew into himself to a certain extent, it makes it easy for him to portray and simple for us to swallow. But for me, the film would always be of the guest appearances, there are aplenty and they are just fun. From Benedict Cumberbatch to Jeff Goldblum, these hilarious distractions is what crisps up the hefty part of the material.

Cate Blanchett, as the first female antagonist in this franchise, strikes fear appropriately but what's absorbing is the equation of her with Hemsworth, where the train of battles are spiraled out by proving their superiority in a sibling rivalry, the honesty of it is bizarrely genius. Tom Hiddleston is hosted aptly by the writers for the first time, while on the other hand, Mark Ruffalo gets to share a few laughs with a drunken and fierceful Tessa Thompson whose innocent relationship plasters a broad smile on our face, in this dark critical time that mythology claims it to be an inevitable natural disaster called Ragnarok and Hemsworth a way out.… Expand
