There are some things that could have been better like any other movie but all in all it was a very enjoyable movie. The actors played their characters very well, there are moments in the movie that the brother relationship felt real. The fight scenes were better than good. Music was great. The CGI was done very well. I'm not actually sure where the argument that the CGI is horrible, I've worked with CGI before, that wasn't horrible. The timing of the jokes could have been improved, very few times it was actually forced. There were some scenes that should have been a bit more impactful. The negative reviews on this movie mostly come from hardcore fans of Thor from comics(I'm not a big Thor fan from the comics or from the other two stand-alone films). The other people who hate this movie seem to think that movies like these("RAGNAROK") that need to be so serious for great storytelling. My advice to those people is look at the DC films, they take themselves seriously, they get okay storytelling, they bore people that are not comic book fans a lot of the times, not fun. They bomb the majority of the times in reviews and if it weren't for their name recognition they would bomb in box offices too.… Expand

It is an action/comedy/superhero movie. If you love Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2, you will love Thor. As for the Villain, Marvel still has a slight problem with its villains. Given that one of the best ones, Dr. Doom is tied up with the rights to Fox, I think we will still continue to see this problem until Thanos. That said, I thought this Villain did a good job. The movie does somewhat follow the Disney/Marvel formula but they throw some curveballs at you. There are several times when you expect a superhero style entrance or moment and they change it up with comedy. Overall an EXCELLENT movie.… Expand

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

The comedy is on point, the chemistry between the rather big cast works, and the fan service is well executed. The third act is always somewhat of a problem in the MCU, as it usually centers around a shallow villain who turns out to have really shallow and frankly boring motives. Thor: Ragnarok solves this by putting the focus on the relationship between our heroes and their internal conflicts, creating a much more satisfying ending to the Thor trilogy. I can't wait to see more.… Expand

I've always thought that Marvel has dropped the ball with Thor and his lore. He is probably one of the greatest characters that Marvel has ever created, in terms of personality, the lore surrounding him, etc. Asgard and the nine realms is an incredible pool of possibility, but what does Marvel do? They squander it.

None of the Thor movies have ever been spectacular. The first Thor movie was, in my opinion, the best because it explored Thor as a character, who went from overly cocky to becoming a humble protagonist. I loved this part of his development. It really made for a compelling character who one would want to believe in. I won't talk about the second movie because it really didn't do anything for the character, but as for Thor: Ragnarok...

Marvel decided to go in an entirely new direction with Thor this time around, giving him a comedic, **** attitude. Wow, does that really suck. With this joke-a-minute format, all of the emotion is stripped from this movie. Scenes that should be extremely, EXTREMELY emotional are destroyed because the build-up to them was all laughs. The relationships between the characters is not founded at all. The villain, who many are praising, is not developed as a villain should be. I could write a four page essay, but those are my brief thoughts.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvel clearly found their winning formula: 2 hour music videos with jokes every 30 seconds.
This could mean good and bad things. The good thing is that people are loving this movie, so it'll make a lot of money. The bad thing is, they're just making every movie the same, and people are ok with it.
The worst is that this movie had the potential to be a beautiful moving movie. But they just turned it into a snl musical sketch.
For what it's worth, not all jokes are bad. The fight scene with Hulk had actual reasons to have funny bits. But the fact that after that Hulk just turns into a buffon just ruins it.
Valkyrie was a cool character. It's satisfying and interesting to know why she acts the way she does. Hela was also well developed. And pretty dope.
The scene that stands out for me was when Hulk starts transforming into Banner. It was a very interesting sequence and I'm glad they acknowledge Black Widow.
Korg, oh my god, his humor is barely humor. It's cheap and just not funny.
But I have to be honest, despite me not liking the movie, I can't deny that people are loving it for a reason. It's just a piece of cheap (but expensive) entertainment. That's what people love to consume, and that's why this movie will succeed.… Expand

Three years ago when Kevin Feige showed to the world all the films that would be part of the MCU's phase 3, he showed a dark logo for Thor: Ragnarok, a logo that was in line with the plot and the weight that that name represented, and he talkThree years ago when Kevin Feige showed to the world all the films that would be part of the MCU's phase 3, he showed a dark logo for Thor: Ragnarok, a logo that was in line with the plot and the weight that that name represented, and he talk about what that name meant, but once Taika Waititi was on board they presented a new logo and the alarms went on.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's a really fun movie with a spectacular picture. The effects are also extraordinary, which gives you an agony, is that the film does not end and this, gives you a discomfort, gives the impression that the end will not come.

Movie does no justice to its name. How can a movie about Ragnarok(apocalypse) be a comedy? And Tessa Thompson is big miscast in this movie she dont look like Valkyrie.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Still, great movie.

SPOILER: the only downside is that during the movie Thor is captured and is kept in check by a freaking... electric shock. At one point, he is literally emitting electricity from his body and he get knocked out by... Electricity. Coming out from a little chip on his neck. WTF.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thor & Hulk have their best performances yet, Loki still shines. Valkyrie is break-out. However Hela is overhyped even though she's fine.
The movie smashes Planet Hulk & some bits of Ragnarok into each other in a Jack Kirby-ized movie. It's messy in some parts as well.

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

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

I really enjoyed the movie. All the cast is great and the story is cool, but.. TOO. MUCH. COMEDY. MOMENT. I'm pretty sure in the phase 4 Thor and The Guardians Of The Galaxy will become teammates, so the 'tone' of Thor is switched to TGOTGI really enjoyed the movie.

Great movie, but not well balanced. I hope this is the one and only movie by Waititi for Marvel.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thor – and Hulk after a certain amount of years since Age of Ultron's release to theaters – returns yet again with their latest Marvel adventure that Marvel Studios has bought for us. I won't – scratch that, I meant to say can't bother to sayThor – and Hulk after a certain amount of years since Age of Ultron's release to theaters – returns yet again with their latest Marvel adventure that Marvel Studios has bought for us. I won't – scratch that, I meant to say can't bother to say that this may be disappointing because it actually isn't in the movie's inner core heart. Fun enough to actually be called a new adventure that features lovable characters that gets treated as much as the plot actually does to make the movie feel brand new.… Expand
